Sep 25, 2017

For a movie that's widely considered one of the best science fiction movies of all time, we're pretty unimpressed with Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. Somehow it was less thrilling and more sloppy than we remembered (but, you know, when would we ever judge someone for being boring and sloppy?).

This is a big episode for us because we're hosting Joe, our dear friend and first every guest. Together the three of us struggle through big, heady topics like what it means to be human, the impending worldwide apocalypse, predictions for the upcoming Blade Runner 2049 starring Ryan Gosling, and the undeniable power of Harrison Ford's roguish charm.

Discussion includes:

**the one billion different versions of the movie **Ridley Scott's true and (so far) false prophecies **a Secret History of the term "Blade Runner" **animals as status symbols **the infamous and confusing unicorn scene and how it's connected to Deckard's controversial humanity **is this sequel even necessary? Is a sequel ever necessary? **science fiction movies to watch after (or instead of) Blade Runner **Scientists' favorite science fiction movies of all time **Morgan and Joe's dislike of Forrest Whitaker (how could they?!)

And a very futuristic game corner that includes: "Marry, Fuck, Retire,"  "This, That or the Other," "Fill in the Void (-Kamph)." 

Plugs:

Binge (at least a few seasons of) Grand Designs on Netflix.

Listen to Joe's other fun podcasts (about video games and cinema) at oneofus.net and rageselect.com.

We're assuming you're caught up on Game of Thrones, but if you haven't seen Season 7 yet, get! On! It! It's an amazing season.

In this episode Mic is nice to Morgan because she deserves it. We discuss Emmy predictions and take a deep dive into heavy-hitters like Westworld, Saturday Night Live, Mr. Robot, Stranger Things, Master of None, and The Handmaid's Tale. We have opinions...and they might be dumb...but we're sticking to them.

PLUGS:

Listen to the Radiolab episode about Henrietta Lacks and her immortal cells.

Watch The Hollywood Reporter Drama Actress Roundtable if you wanna hang out with Oprah and Jessica Lange. 

Binge Riverdale on Netflix
And then take a bath and
Binge Terrace House on Netflix. 
Then sleep.

This week we're covering 3 of the faces of IT: Stephen King's novel, 1990's made-for-TV movie and the 2017 blockbuster remake. Ooooh, it looks scary! Conversation includes:

* The sad story of Jonathan Brandis
* Memory, prosperity and lighthouse keepers

IT is a boggart! Or a glamour? A spider? Or a cosmic deity from dark space. Or a manitu/skin-changer/something...? 
* Female and queer representation in the story
* King's softer side: love poetry!

And a terrifying Games Corner: "1,2,3, Not IT," "Coulrophobia," and "King, King or King?"

PLUGS:

Have you been languishing in a television desert since the finale of Westworld? Have you been talking to toasters and seducing hand blenders while pining over Dolores and William's tragic doomed love? Are you frankly not 100% certain what happened during the Season Finale?

Westworld is like Jurassic Park plus Blade Runner plus soft core porn. Listen to our newest episode all about the HBO series and join us in throwing shade and reading each character to the (dirt) floor. We let you in on all the rumors about Season 2 (premiering early in 2018) and fan theories about virtually every aspect of the show. We're deeply guilty of not talking about Isaac Asimov or the Three Laws of Robotics, but the episode does include (ALL SPOILERS, ALL SHADE):

  • an in-depth discussion of Episode 10, "The Bicameral Mind"
  • android anatomy
  • the path from Michael's Crichton's screenplay to book to movie to TV show
  • Westworld vs. Romanworld vs. Futureworld vs. Medievalworld vs. Samuraiworld
  • Teddy/Cyclops
  • Why Hector and Armistice will grow up to be Death Eaters
  • The magnificent glory that is Maeve
  • Yul Brynner (and his bulge)
  • having sex with robots vs. killing robots
  • "Is that what you're doing now? Practicing?" How humans are like robots
  • Reddit's oracular power
  • why The Man in Black's wife is afraid of him
  • Which One?
  • Second Opinions
    and more!

Plugs:

The Return of the Eagles? (AKA the fastest route to Mordor never taken) Yes!  Or, no.  Well.  Kinda?  One thing is for sure, The Queens are back to discuss the Return of the King!  Aragorn in all his Glory steals the name of this epic finale, though I guess Frodo and Sam had some stuff going on too!  Speaking of getting it on- the house of healing!!! (We're looking at you Eowyn and Faramir)

JRR Tolkien's The Return of the King is an epic finale to Fantasy's most influential Trilogy.  Join us for our opinions on all things good, all things ridiculous (Pippin, you fool!), and so much joy!  We LOVE LOTR, and we hope you do too.  If we can't convert you by the end of this three part wrap up, then you probably don't have a soul (SEE:  next weeks episode of Westworld OR Orlando Bloom's acting skills)

We're all just specks of stardust floating through space on the whims of our creator.  Or...er, are we?  And is magic is real? Did Claire Danes legit fall from heaven?  Is that a black hole over there, pulling us closer to the grave?  You're a Wizard Harry?  ITS ALL TOO MUCH. WE CAN'T DEAL.

But seriously: this week we're talking all things Neil Gaiman's Stardust.  It's an amazing book you may have enjoyed in your youth and it's a lovely movie anytime you're in need of some magic or romance.  Join us while we discuss fashion choices (get in loser, we're going shopping!), hair cuts, stars and (movie)stars, career trajectories, magic itself, Ricky Gervais (playing himself), the role of the gay pirate (Robert D, in more than one way), book to movie differences, Michelle Pfeiffer's wig, second opinions, 'Which One' and much, much more! We LOVE Neil Gaiman and have SO many feelings about his process and genius.  This is the first part in an ongoing Gaiman discussion, so please tune in!

I will take what is mine- with fire and blood! (and I'll also take it witch Queso + Guac, plz.)  Join us as we recount our top 45 moments of Game of Thrones thus far, our predictions for the future, our disdain for the book series (which will never be finished), our beef with certain characters (looking at you, seasons 1-5 Sansa), our thoughts on Husband Material (Who would you wed, bed, or thread?), George RR Martin Shade, fun & games and our true confessions from the heart (we can't HELP who we find sexy).  PS- Spoilers.

This episode is for those interested in Game Of Thrones, Recaps, games, comedy, George RR Martin, Shade, all things bitchy, beautiful nonsense, podcasts, novels, fantasy and more.

This episode is epic.  Get yourself caught up on all things GOT before the Summer premiere gets here!

WTF do we do with our lives between episodes?  Tune in and find out!  Lots of complaining (for sure), and a little bit of spreading magic.  We're here to keep you posted on how we feel about SXSW, what we have coming up next week (we're So excited!), and to inundate you with a little bit of nonsense.  This week we have a little clip from a recently recorded episode, and some insight on Episode 005 - Game Of Thrones

Cheers, BB's!
