BSP Episode 096: Watchmen

Wow!

This has been a long time coming.   We’ve recently brought in a friend, Chris, who you’ll hear in Episode #100, to edit our episodes for us, we’ve got quite a few in the can (more about this in a post later today) and we’ll be releasing them frequently in the coming days.

In this episode, Tony, Adam, Darrell, and Melina talk about Watchmen.  I would supply more detailed show notes, but after 5 months of sitting on this, waiting a few more minutes is just silly.

Here you go.

Watchmen.

Oh.. and at the tail end there is a bit of discussion about the series finale of Battlestar: Galactica.  Yeah, this was recorded that long ago.

BSP Episode 093: Milk

Wow… two months?  Sheesh… good thing we currently have um… 16!!! episodes recorded that we haven’t released… So yeah, this is going to be a good weekend for you guys.

Today I’m releasing the movie that earned Sean Penn an Academy Award for his portrayal of Harvey Milk.

Tomorrow, we’ve got an episode in wherein we discuss a former President of the United States.

Sunday, an episode where we compare two movies that were written by the same screenwriter… and which are ridiculously similar.

Back Seat Producers Fanboy Smackdown Shows Special Episode

Happy Anniversary! Retro: FBSD Episode #1

Being jerks we called this “Episode #4”.  Honestly, we wondered if we’d be able to make it through 5, 6 and 1-3. 

Today is the third anniversary of the posting of the first episode of Fanboy Smackdown (which later became Back Seat Producers.)

It’s been an incredible three years, and we’ve got 99 regular episodes and over a dozen special episodes that are out there (or need to get final editing done so we can release them).

This tag is also going to serve as a reminder to anyone who might not have heard the news.

Saturday, May 2, 2009 from 4PM to 7PM CDT, we are going to be recording and streaming our 100th episode.  We have a couple of special guests confirmed and we are going to, for the first time EVAR open up the BSP skype lines so that fans can ‘call-in’ and be part of the show.  This should be a fantastic episode with tons of laughs.  We hope that you all can join us on Ustream and/or Skype.  For details on how to be part of the fun on Saturday, come to our website and we’ll have all the details for you.

Hope you enjoy this blast from the past!

Back Seat Producers Season 03 Shows Special Guests

BSP Episode 092: Coraline, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Corpse Bride

Henry Selick and Tim Burton created a masterpiece in Nightmare Before Christmas.

In this episode we discuss the film that features Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, in his attempt to stave off boredom by taking over a different holiday.

We also talk about Henry Selick’s adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s novel, Coraline.

And to round things out we chat about Tim Burton’s attempt to capture our imaginations with Corpse Bride.

While these films are generally considered children’s fare, this show is not, and we recommend that you not let your kiddos listen to Adam’s drunken ramblings.

BSP Episode 090: Eddie and the Cruisers

Betty Lou’s got a new pair of shoes.

And the Back Seat Producers have another new episode.  Three in three days.. When will the madness end?  Probably tomorrow.

This week we discuss the Michael Pare’ performance of the title character, Eddie Wilson, and everything else that went into this 80’s flick that is set in the 60’s about a rock band that never existed, but that had music played for the movie by a band that really did exist.  And talk about acting, this film also starred Tom Berenger, Ellen Barkin and Joe Pantoliano

Oh… and Adam and Stingray are wrong. (-Tony)
