GSFN Show 25: The X Files, the Robot Chicken and The Dark Knight

By Skip • Aug 16th, 2008 • Category: Podcast Show

Mully and Sculder

In yet another packed one hour show, Skip and Drew get dark and dirty as they discuss why the gays put the ‘homo’ in homocidal in film, as currently the main bad gays in The X Files: I Want to Believe. A listener points out a few overlooked gay facts from The Andromeda Strain with a character in the extreme opposite of gay killers, the token gay guy “but let’s not talk about it”.

Find out what we think of Robot Chicken: Star Wars as we shamelessly give the UK DVD release yet a another plug, which it rightly deserves. The most notable skits include Darth Vader’s collect call to the Emperor informing him of the destruction of the first Death Star; A Day in the life of Ponda Baba as we find out what exactly he was saying to Luke Skywal

ker in the Cantina before Obi-Wan Kenobi slices his arm off with a lightsaber; and George Dubya Bush as a Jedi.

Finally Skip and Drew talk about their trip to the big smoke that is Gotham, well actually London, where they saw The Dark Knight on the UK’s biggest screen, the IMAX at Waterloo… At 2:30am. After which only having had 2 1/2 hours sleep they manage to stay awake through the Red Bull Air Race at the O2.

GSFN Show 24: The Morphy Mafia

By Skip • Jul 27th, 2008 • Category: Podcast Show

Skip and Drew are big on films in this podcast as they discuss (with some spoilers) Neil Marshall’s Doomsday, the remake of The Andromeda Strain, the fourth Indy movie - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crisco Skull (Harrison Ford, Ray Winstone and a tub of Crisco, Skip’s ultimate fantasy), the comedy parody of 300 - Meet the Spartans (more fake abs), and finally the high adrenaline action flick Wanted, starring James McAvoy (one for Drew) and Angelina Jolie.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crisco Skull

Along side this they remark on the highs and shitty lows of Malcolm MacDowell’s career in such film like A Clockwork Orange, Caligula and Tank Girl. Timeline, Westworld, The Six Million Dollar Man and Bladerunner also get a mention along with the end of the fourth series of Doctor Who.

Skip gets into baking bread (not a euphemism for rimming, like tossing the salad ) with his new Morphy Richards bread maker. Drew explains why South Africans find that brand name rather humorous. Find out what happened to Drew at the Cineplex as he and Skip tried to watch Wanted with a psychotic pimple tits sat in the row behind.

GSFN Show 23: Jerking Endings

By Skip • Jun 2nd, 2008 • Category: Podcast Show

A tearful Daniel Craig shudders at the thought of a new ball busting scene with Skip and DrewOnce Skip and Drew remember who they actually are, they kick start the show based on the “10 most depressing movie endings ever” article on the Den of Geek website.

This gets your hosts thinking about the films they consider “depressing” and with “tear jerking endings”, though this doesn’t include Brokeback Mountain which is just a pile of steaming dog poo.

Drew explains the Occident and the Orient, though he confuses himself with Borealis and Australis, which isn’t surprising as the magnetic poles are due to switch.

Skip’s fantasy about Indiana Jones becomes more real when he spots a tub of Crisco falling out of a fridge in a scene from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

GSFN Show 22: Iron Man

By Skip • May 4th, 2008 • Category: Podcast Show

Skip and Drew celebrate 16 years of ‘knowing’ each other with show 22. And what a way to relaunch the podcast, by downing Absinthe and testing out GarageBand on Skip’s new MacBook Pro. This show is all about Iron Man which Skip and Drew review for your pleasure, after seeing it on the opening night, at that fine cinematic experience by the sea establishment, The Apollo Paignton.

Find out what we think about Robert Downey Jr as he dons the Iron Man suit, battling his company, alcohol and the shadowy terrorist group know as the Ten Rings. Drew remarks on Cate Blanchett’s remarkable performance as Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts and Art Malik’s role as ‘Yet another Arab Terrorist’ (YAAT).

This podcast was recorded under the influence of Absinthe and as such your hosts Skip and Drew cannot be held accountable for the inane banter that ensues.

We also end the show on a sombre note as we lose two big entertainment stars.
