BSP Episode 119: Zombieland

And with this episode we have only one regular episode that has not been released.  It’s the episode we recorded last night.

We are CAUGHT UP!!!!  Specially thanks to Chris ‘the F-in’ Machine’ Amelung for editing the past 26 episodes. From August 31st to October 31st there were 25 episodes totally just under 26 HOURS of audio released on our feed.

Spread the word, boys and girls.  The Back Seat Producers are back, we’re weekly and we’re here to BLOW.YOUR.MINDS!  (Or at least to drink and talk about movies.)

This episode is about Zombieland… listen up.

Be warned, if you haven’t seen the movie and haven’t been spoiled on the big Cameo, you might want to wait until you watch the flick.  It’s worth seeing.

BSP Episode 118: Happy Halloween!

jackpumpkin

We talk about Horror, Thrillers and Suspense movies.

Sorry for the short show notes, but it’s time to go trick or treating.

I leave for you instead the picture above.  Tony’s pumpkin this year.

(A Quick Note – We’ve discovered a technical glitch in the audio file of this episode.  While Chris RE edits the file, why don’t you take a moment and listen to a favorite old episode or rub your tummy full of Halloween  candy, much like Adam/David does every episode. )

(Follow-up Note – The episode has been fixed and can be downloaded NOW in its complete and astounding glory.)

BSP Episode 117: Big Trouble in Little China

David as Egg Shen

Gong!

Adam is now David.

David botches the intro.

Phil threatens David’s colon.

High level impressions.

David makes arbitrary, “I haven’t seen Ghostbusters.”  Comment.

Sarah can’t figure out how to use the chatroom.

Who else could have been Jack Burton?

Phil uses Kim Cattrall to cross the streams of Egg Shen and Yoda.

Phil condones lubing up of Kim Cattrall.

Phil calls out ‘that one white guy’ in the movie.

(Why is Phil leading the conversation?)

Phil drops some truck trivia.

And now we jump on the plot train…

David calls out Darrell as a racist.

More plot.

Is anyone else snickering whenever they say ‘Wang’?

Rule 34 is mentioned.

Kurt Russell = Will Smith

Sarah gets her nails done with dudes.

Phil owned a Fiero.   Listen for it… David is getting bored.

Green Eyes = Bucket Leather Seats.

Security is probably the only thing that’s tight at the White Tiger.

David does Egg Shen.  No one calls him out as racists.

David comments about the size of Wang.

Quotes from the movie and laughter.

Out of context quote:

“… Wang and Jack off…”, said David.

Phil sets the story straight… in creepy voice.

David gets upset when Phil starts quoting Egg Shen early.  Not because it’s out of order, but because Phil beats him to the quote.

Communist allegory?

Oh hell, just listen an enjoy.  Seriously, why are you reading this?

Egg Shen is the Asian Neville Longbottom.  (This explains soooo much about David.)

Splorted?

Phil and David talk about someone who isn’t there to defend himself.   And they’re wrong.

Sarah and Chris are apparently involved in some role-reversal.

David pees.
