Foundation - S02E09 - Long Ago, Not Far Away

Jim and A.Ron watched some fun television this week that they want to talk about! First up is the horror / comedy on Starz Network, "Ash vs Evil Dead". Does Bruce Campbell's shtick hold up all these years later? Second, the amazingly funny Cartoon Network Adult Swim sci-fi comedy, "Rick and Morty", co-created by Dan Harmon and the Earl of Lemongrab.

Special thanks to Robert Packnett who commissioned us to take on Netflix's 2015 series, "Daredevil", with a particular emphasis on the episodes "Cut Man" and "Shadows in the Glass". This was a particularly shrewd selection, as they both deal with the duality of the main hero and villain of the series, and their histories, similarities, strengths, and weaknesses. "Daredevil" is a series that is so much better than it has any right to be, and it's a magical combination of the writing, direction, and incredible charisma of the main cast that holds it all together and keeps it on track, making it even greater than the sum of it's parts. Thanks again, Robert! That was a lot of fun, and has us hungry for season two and to see what else the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Netflix have cooked up for us in the future.

Jim and A.Ron saw Ridley Scott's "The Martian" last night, starring Matt Damon, and have a lot to say about it. Note, the first part of the podcast is spoiler free, but then when we say we're about to spoil things, that's your cue to get out while the getting is good. Along the way, we talk about the trailers we saw for The Revenant, The Big Short, Joy, and Concussion. If you are still hungry for more Martian goodness, might I recommend reading Andy Weir's original book (The Martian) the film is based on? Then, I'd proceed to reading Robert Zubrin's A Case For Mars, upon which most of the science of the book and film are based upon. And if that's not enough, check out the Red/Green/Blue Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.

Thanks to Anthony Basich for commissioning this podcast, and quite frankly, changing our entire mind about the Mad Max franchise. We think 1981's "The Road Warrior", directed by George Miller and starring Mel Gibson, is awesome, and stands up to any of it's 80's action movie brethren in a competition about holding up and entertaining a modern audience. We discuss feral kids, post-apocalyptic sexuality, the economics of a refinery under constant attack, working with animals in the movies, and much more. Thanks again to Anthony B.

Did we, in fact, deliver a commissioned podcast on the 1997 Robert Zemeckis science fiction film Contact? Well, all I can say for sure is that we recorded a conversation and released it as a podcast. Your own personal experience with the podcast will have to inform your answer to that question. Special thanks to Henrik Wielechowski who made the inspired choice to pull the trigger on this thought and debate provoking film.

Andrew "The Commissioner" Mount has indicated a fifth movie that needs some Bald Move attention, this time the 2012 horror "The Cabin in the Woods". Written by Joss Whedon and directed by long time collaborated Drew Goddard, and staring the Mighty Thor, it was what I would describe as a pleasant surprise. I was prepared for a stock slasher flick, and what I got was... something more than that. Can't really say much else, and if you're a horror fan who somehow missed this, I encourage you to give it a watch before you give this a listen. On the other hand, if you did enjoy the film, I think you'll really enjoy the works of the SCP. Here are a few articles to get you started. SCP-173 - Potential inspiration for the Dr. Who "Weeping Angels"?SCP-087 - One of the creepier onesSCP-426 - A good example of a more light-hearted entrySCP-231 - Genuinely disturbing use of REDACTEDSCP-294 - A good mix Join the discussion: Email | Forums Follow us: Twitter | Instagram | Facebook Leave Us A Review on Apple Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.
