BSP Episode 088: The Last Temptation of Christ

Alright, so here is the scoop.  We are just a few weeks away from recording episode #100.  No, seriously… even though This episode is #88, there are currently 10 more episodes that we have recorded but not released.

We are going to make a push to get as many episodes as we can released as quickly as we can.  In some cases this will mean an episode a day.   We’re on the right track and hopefully after this weekend we’ll be a few closer to caught up.

Thanks for your patience and support.

In this episode we discuss Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ.  This is a long, deep discussion that goes well beyond the bounds of just the movie and dips into some of our beliefs as well.

We also have a very special guest spot from our good friend, Aron Head.

Ideology of Madness

BSP Episode 086: Summer '08 Super-Hero Spectacular

In this episode we discuss some of the big super-hero movies from last summer.  The Dark Knight isn’t included as we already spent an over-sized episode discussing it.  The line up for this episode is Hancock, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk.

Hear as we breakdown and rank each of these three films.

Also, be warned.  We spoil all three of them throughout.

BSP Episode 085: Die Hard and Die Hard 2: Die Harder

This one starts a bit different.  If you are ever able to come online on Wednesday evenings and listen in to the livestream of our recording sessions, you might hear a bit of off topic banter by whomever is on the show that night.  Sometimes the chatter is meaningless to anyone other than the two or three of us, but sometimes we chat about movies we’ve seen, TV or just other stuff.  The recording session before Die Hard was no exception.  In this case, we are including the pre- show banter.  It’s almost always recorded (because we are setting up and testing levels and such), and occasionally we even use discussions about movies to lengthen a short episode.

You should be able to tell when we “start” the show,  it’s about 10ish minutes in.  This was intended to be our Christmas Special.  Nothing says Christmas like John McClane kicking ass and taking names in bare feet.

Don’t forget, we record every Wednesday night.  Join us for the fun.

BSP Episode 084: The Shawshank Redemption

Adam calls this the greatest movie ever made.  What does Tony think?

We’ve often joked about being the Recently Dead Guy Podcast.  Who would have thought that the day I post this episode that I see this article just minutes before I being typing up these sparse notes.

Rest in Peace, Brooks.

Contest: Coraline

Movie Prize Pack Giveaway

From Henry Selick, visionary director of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, and based on Neil Gaiman’s international best-selling book, comes a spectacular stop-motion animated adventure – the first to be originally filmed in 3D!


Coraline Jones (Dakota Fanning) is bored in her new home until she finds a secret door and discovers an alternate version of her life on the other side.  On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life and the people in it – only much better.  But when this seemingly perfect world turns dangerous, and her other parents (including her Other Mother voiced by Teri Hatcher) try to trap her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination and bravery to escape this increasingly perilous world – and save her family.

Enter to win a fun ‘Goodie Bag’ which includes the following exclusive Coraline items:

3 Grand Prize Packs will consist of:

• Coraline Video Game (Wii or PS2 formats TBD), Coraline Book, Coraline Button Key, Coraline Prize Pack (each pack includes A Coraline Movie Tie in Book, Coraline Button set, Coraline Pen, Coraline T-shirt, Coraline Alphabet Collector Cards, Coraline Bookmark)

Send your name and address to contest at backseatproducers dot com.

Three winners will receive a grand prize pack that contains:

  • Coraline Video Game for the Wii video game console
  • Coraline Book
  • Coraline Button Key
  • Coraline Prize Pack
    • Coraline Movie Tie in Book
    • Coraline Button set
    • Coraline Pen

BSP Episode 082: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Still catching up.  As near as we can tell/remember we are releasing these in the order that we recorded them.

We joke about this being the “Recently Dead Guy” podcast.  This is reflected once again as this episode is being released just a few days after news that Ricardo Montalban has passed away.

In this episode we discuss the second Trek film and dip into a few other trek films and topics as well… and as usual.

Let us know what you think and be sure to check out the website for a new contest we are running beginning tomorrow!

The ‘Khan!!!” send off is too easy.  

Ricardo Montalban will always first be Mr. Roarke so… for you, sir, “Smiles, everyone. Smiles!”

BSP Episode 081: Hustler and Color of Money

After two months of a dry feed we are back, and we’ll be releasing a TON of content in the next few weeks.

We currently have 6 more episodes that have been recorded and are somewhere in the editing process, with one more set to be recorded tonight!

This episode is a tribute to Paul Newman.  We discuss his films The Hustler and his Oscar-winning The Color of Money, another Marty Scorsese movie to boot.

We should have another episode posted in just a few days with more to follow every three or four days until we get caught up.

Sorry about the delays but if you want to hear more about the excuses behind that check out the most recent episode of Tony’s Losing It.
