IT'S WRESTLEMANIA (31)!!!!! (Episode 8)

If you grew up in the 1980s then the WWF’s larger-than-life wrestling heroes made a lifelong impression. Now, Don and Friend revisit one of their childhood passions by coming back to the world of professional wrestling with a post-Wrestlemania discussion dissecting the best and worst that the annual spectacular had to offer. For our hosts, it’s been over a decade since Wrestlemania held any meaning so will the return be a onetime event or had the WWe managed to pull two former fans back into the McMahon Empire-fold?

How do two fans of 1980s and 90s WWF feel about the direction of today’s WWe? What were the highlights and low points of the yearly wrestling spectacular? Which matches will live in infamy? And, most importantly, were there truly any Wrestlemania Moments that were made? Join our tag-team hosts and 70,000 screaming fans as they delve into; ladder matches, championship bouts, Terminators, kabuki drumline, The Beast, Mountain Dew, pizza, NwO, DX, divas, tanks, The Rock, scarecrows, UFC Champion Ronda Rousey, one well-timed Money in the Bank suitcase, and the worst pair of camouflage boots in history.

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH! (Episode #7)

"Mrs. Voorhees, we're ready for your close up."

Break out the hockey mask and machete to celebrate yet another Friday the 13th!  We've decided to dive into a solid horror movie for this month's episode (and we had so much fun expect a Friday the 13th Part 2 review in the nearish future).  We've also decided on a post-WrestleMania episode set to air two days after the WWe's biggest event of the calendar year.  Other projects in the future beyond our monthly episodes include special DVD audio commentary track episodes for THE ROAD WARRIOR (May) and MEATBALLS (June).  Don and I are having a blast with the show and we're keeping our fingers crossed that word-of-mouth spreads and perhaps we can get a few 5-star iTunes reviews to help us in the rankings!  Thanks for listening!

FRIDAY THE 13^TH (1980)

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Highly recommended read for fans of the series.

Happy Friday the 13^th!  Don and Friend are back to dive headfirst into two huge topics.  Things start off to a rollicking start as the current state of the WWE Network is reviewed along with their recent pay-per-views.  Then it’s movie time as the 1980 original FRIDAY THE 13^TH is watched with an appreciative eye (non wrestling fans can look for the review to begin at the 38:00 minute mark).  So sit back enjoy singing a bit of Tom Dooley while you’re playing a game of Strip Monopoly with your closest friends but be sure to check the pantry for Crazy Ralph before any shenanigans begin.

Get the 'E' out.

TAKING A SPLIT! (Episode #5)



And the Academy Award goes to...



ENTER THE KUMITE!
IT LOOKS FUN!

Happy 2015 and to celebrate Don and Friend learn about the Kumite, the Dim Mak, and do the splits with Jean Claude Van Damme...far too many times to count!  Yes, it's our first reminiscent movie as the podcast returns to a film that we have not seen in over twenty years.  How have the decades treated BLOODSPORT?  Hint, hopefully better than Chong Li treats Jackson.

There's plenty more to delve into as both hosts discuss books and documentaries that have been keeping us entertained over the past weeks.  Naturally things immediately drift towards the topics of Arrow and Flash as Don desperately tries to prevent the show from turning into just a monthly update on two of the better offerings on television.
