"How to Make Me Want to See a Movie in Ten Words or Less," from IMDb's plot summary of the film... "Action star Jean Claude Van Damme plays a fashion designer." Done. I am in.

More Run the Jewels goodness, if any of you are interested: http://teamcoco.com/video/run-the-jewels-01-15-14?playlist=x%3BeyJ0eXBlIjoidGFnIiwiaWQiOjR9

In that bizarre Tron-world scene, did anyone find it weird that Zeus was addressing one of the muses, one of his daughters, alongside Hera... who was his wife, but not the mother of the muses? That title goes to a Titan by the name of Mnemosyne. Although the muses were not the product of Zeus raping someone or taking the shape of his victim's husband or some sort of weird animal (as Zeus was wont to do), his wife Hera was always notoriously jealous of Zeus' bastard children. This was most apparent in her torment of Heracles/Hercules (that whole episode where she drove Heracles mad and he ended up murdering his wife and children being one example). Let's try and get this straight: The conceit of the scene is that the King and Queen of the Olympians were chit-chatting with a muse, who is the daughter of the King but not the Queen, who, in the past, has actively sought to murder the children of her psycho-rapist husband that were not her own. Sounds like legit Greek Mythology to me. The Olympians were fucked up.

Because this movie elicited much effusive and deserved praise for Emma Thompson, here is the trailer for her new film, one she wrote and also acts in: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/effiegray/ Period drama. Stifled passions. Impressive list of British actors, American star to put asses in seats, It's all here guys! I am into it.

Bonus reason for doing the sequel: Doug Benson is frequently killed (as various zombies) in it. For more, listen to him on Matt Gourley's I Was There Too (along with Michael Jackson stories): http://iwastheretoo.wolfpop.com/audio/20634/captain-eo-with-doug-benson

On the subject of bizarre coke-fueled musicals, is it weird that I have seen both 'Phantom of the Paradise' AND 'The Apple,' but not 'Xanadu'? In any case, I look forward to witnessing the madness. Also, I enjoyed the Daniel Radcliffe/'Horns' plug at the top of the episode. Fuck it, I really like that movie. It's great, weird, horror fun.

DVK's Ira Glass impression was outstanding. I would love to hear that as a new character.

I think I watched this on a plane and it just made me incredibly sad. "Why are all these actors I really like saying these terrible jokes?"

P.S. When I hear The Doors, I still think "SHUT UP JIM MORRISON!" So I will always have that. Thank you.

Thank you for the update! Obviously, I have selfish reasons for wanting the podcast back (i.e. free auditory entertainment of the highest order), but I look forward to any future projects you produce, TV or otherwise, with great anticipation. Most of all, I wish you the greatest of SHOW BUSINESS success!

The metalhead in me immediately says "FUCK YES Mutoid Man!" Also, that Run the Jewels album is so good. This is my personal favorite from said record:

No matter how many times you crucify Christ, you can bring him back to life if you keep electricity flowing through his heart, as long as you get to him before three days have passed since he last expired.

This doesn't deserve its own thread, but I thought I would post it here since it's another Christploitation movie... Ever wish the kind of people who made 'Heaven is For Real' would try to make their own version of 'Crash'? Well, your shitty prayers have been answered!

I think my opinions on the mythology-thick eps have already been covered by previous posters, so let me just say hearing Matt Gourley break PFT into fits of giggles simply by pronouncing "devil" as "Debil" in his HR Giger voice brings me unparalleled joy and laughter.

If you do not love Solo Bolo, I will never understand you.

I almost always watch the movies unless I have seen them before. I enjoy conversing about terribleness in movies (as well as awesomeness) in real life, so I get more enjoyment out of the podcast by doing so. I know other people who don't watch the movies because they are not the obsessive movie geek I am, so it's to each his or her own, I think.

nrkist, I don't understand your issue. Are you suggesting that three comedians who have been personal and professional partners for many years had the temerity to work out the basics of a comedic exchange before performing? Or are you just mad the bit didn't go off as you might have liked? I didn't get the impression of a distinct pre-worked routine, nor did it feel as if something was "flubbed." Your chagrin confuses me since this episode brought me nothing but smiles and rainbows.

I actually prefer this version: Sure, it would make a better theme song for a late 1950s Western than a Bond movie, but there's still a WTF-factor that I can't help but enjoy.

This movie is indeed garbage, but it's one of those low budget horror movies that doesn't have enough money to pay for much of anything besides, in this case, a goofy cameo from Gary Busey, so it's just really boring. If it's cartoonishly bad holiday-themed horror films you're after, I recommend Santa's Slay starring Goldberg:

Maybe it's a conscious "fuck you" to those in the audience who would get that reference, since anyone watching 'Night at the Museum 3' and knows what 'The Cove' is probably doesn't want to be there (dragged to the movies by kids or something). "Are you in pain seeing this movie? Well too bad, let me remind that there are dolphins being murdered right now so you feel even worse!"

As not good as this movie is, I still have to give it credit for crafting a more terrifying birthing-nightmare scene than when Gena Davis gives birth to that maggot thing in The Fly. I will never get the image of Arnold-Face-Baby out of my mind...

I have nothing to add other than this was an absolutely delightful surprise and a joy to listen to. A holiday special if there ever was one, and I thank Scott and Scott for this bit of hilarious podcasting. Also, could Bono officiate Scott and Scott's Almighty Daughter's Bat Mitzvah while dressed in his Hasidic Jew biking costume?

If Peter Sellers was around, HE could be in Marvel's 'Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Sorcerer Supreme.'

After 'A View to a Kill,' we could have a Grace Jones double feature! I mean, she could probably eat the heart of a Xenomorph from 'Alien' and suffer no ill effects:

Anyway, to reenforce the age difference between Roger Moore and both his lady costars and the requirements of his character, both Moore and Patrick Macnee starred as handsome young English spies in classic 1960s television series, "The Saint" and "The Avengers" respectively. Hell, Roger Moore and Patrick Macnee exercised at the same gym when they were both up-and-coming young actors in London. Macnee is only five years older than Moore, but in this 1985 film, Macnee's character is some ridiculous old fuddy-duddy playing against the dashing, vigorous secret agent that is James Bond. The face of energy and youth in this movie? ROGER MOORE! So, we're agreed that this is the greatest movie to ever be mentioned on this podcast, right? CLEARLY.
