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)

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.

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.
