Have you checked out Livestream For The Cure yet? You should.

It’s time to return to head on back to a long time ago and take a trip to a galaxy not nearby at all….

That’s right – the Somethings, always present and ready with the cutting edge commentary – are ready to talk Star Wars. If you are a Wars’y type, you likely have your opinion on whether Abrams & The Mouse nailed it, missed it, or middled it… but now you get to find out how much you disagree with two other guys on the internet!

So gather your Sith Powers (or Jedi Powers, I guess…) and get ready to boldly go where every other podcast has gone before already! It’s time to review The Rise of Skywalker! (..or is it The Skywalkers?) ..it doesn’t matter. (..and stick around, the end has a treat)

Ok, here we go!

Tom Cruise’s Jobs

Have you checked out Livestream For The Cure yet? You should.

If there is one actor in Hollywood that has had a ton of jobs… it’s Tom Cruise, hell it is one of the defining character traits of his early career. ‘Ah, this is the one where Tom Cruise is a patent lawyer’ ‘Ohh, the one where Tom Cruise is the air conditioner repairman?’ ‘I never saw the one where Tom Cruise was a circus clown for the mob.’

So, the Somethings have taken it upon themselves to look at Mr. Cruise’s resume and list off some of their favorite jobs that he has had.

Set your E-Meter to Clear, we’re on Cruise Control…

Period Pieces w/ Meredith Placko

Have you checked out Livestream For The Cure yet? You should.

Sometimes, the Somethings need a little cultural – and given that normally they are as cultured as a strep throat test, they need to bring in the big guns.

Joining the boys this week is the long-time friend of the show, Meredith Placko – host, geek of all colors, and one half of the model paint powerhouse TurboDork. One of her nerddom dujours is historical fashion – so it felt like she was the prime candidate as we get down and discuss Period Films.

So get yourself some absinthe, a powdered wig, a ten pound bag of boning, and get ready to talk about the past!

Ok, here we go!

Mark your calendars: Livestream For The Cure, May 28th – 31st.

We’re heading out into deep seas this month for a “documentary” with a twist.. also a title so long it doesn’t fit in the title bar.

This journey is one of art, one of curiosity, and it is a divisive piece of cinema. If you don’t know anything about it – we get in there, so you’ve been warned this is a spoiler of an episode, perhaps more than usual.

That said – join PC Rob, Hatton, and Edmund Fitzgerald as we go spelunking deep into the abyss.

Ok, here we go…

Happy Holidays!

Sure, it’s early, but we’re taking next month off – so we gotta get it in somewhere.

And since everyone is getting themselves all stuff prepared, we decided to hit a a movie that had a strange beginning, but has found its place as a Christmas Traditional for weirdos… it is the scariest Christmas Carol ever put to film – SCROOGED! (I heard an old lady had a heart attack)

So join in the festivities as the Somethings discuss whether this was a well-received holiday tradition (like cranberries in a can) – or the kind of thing you tolerate just because it’s the holidays (like hugging the weird aunt that always smells like cat pee)

It’s time to be visited by three ghosts and two Somethings, so you best change your ways…. Scrooged!

Listen, toooo that magic man…
and abracadabra…

There is this movie – this movie that a lot of people saw and nobody remembers it until they are told about it by someone who has been awoken. I’m sure there are a lot of movies that fit this strange Mandela Effect sort of situation, but this one is special…. well, mostly because it is a hallmark movie in Hatton’s life and that of his sister.

So she recommended we review this – what happens when nostalgia meets a complete newbie to strange Canadian Fantasy Drama.

This is the strange and mysterious tale, featuring Celine Dion and Tigh Saul from BSG… it’s the only answer you can solve with hair…
