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?

EPISODE SUMMARY:
It’s our first special hour-plus discussion solely on the WWe squared circle as we go rope-to-rope with all things Wrestlemania 31! 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. It’s everything you would expect, it’s WRESTLE-MANIA!

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.
