Falvey is here. So is Law. Together they break down the upcoming Fall TV schedule to see what you might be watching, might be skipping, and might be burning in a pile of broken promises and dreams. That’s deep. You’re deep. Good one.
0:00:00-Gather around your iphones, you suckers of cock. It’s Bingecast time.
0:02:03-Law. Jack. Let’s go. When was the last time Jack was on a Bingecast? 🎶Video game Round Up!🎶 Jack talks Spider-Man for the PS4, and Law talks about the games he plays on the Commodore 64 or whatever. #oldasfuck. Fall TV preview is happening on this very show. Jack has a super sneaky secret commentary with PeteMC coming (ew). Jax on Jax on Jax commentary is hopefully on the way. Movie homework. Sportscast.
0:15:23-GOOGS
0:44:15-Jack plays sounder drops.
0:45:41-WHAT DID YOU WATCH? Law watched Skyscraper. Smash Valley watched Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind and Tag.
1:04:48-TV ROUND UP. Law begins with Always Sunny and Mr. Mercedes. Then he and Jack talk Better Call Saul and Mayans. Jack is watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Penn and Teller: Fool Us, Who is America? and Castle Rock.
2:01:33-FALL TV PREVIEW. Law talks about Kidding to start, and then him and Jack launch into the fall 2018 TV lineup using The Atlantic as a reference.
Again, there’s a little bit of an echo for a couple seconds at the beginning and after the pee break but otherwise things are pretty smooth this week. Not sure about next week because I’m planning on throwing my laptop into an active volcano at some point. I’ll watch it burn before editing for another 3 hours.
Ammon and PJ The Intern join Law as they frolic through some new television (South Park, American Vandal, Mr. Mercedes, American Horror Story, Ballers, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath) and a couple movies here and there (The House, Annabelle: Creation) all while answering soome Google Voice and playing a double header of BingeCast Quote Whores.
0:02:06-Law, Ammon, and PJ. How did PJ get his intern name? Have Ammon and PJ conversed before? Nope. This is a cherry popping podcast! BingeSportscast stuff. Sport. What are all the cocksuckers drinkin’? C. Bum segment? Sure, why the fuck not. Ammon explains the Bingecast edition of Quote Whores.
0:18:40-GOOGLE VOICE. Law explains there’s some issues going into it.
0:37:33-QUOTE WHORES: BINGECAST EDITION
0:54:20-TV ROUND UP. PJ begins with The Handmaid’s Tale, The Leftovers, South Park, and Ballers. The boys talk about shows that may have gone on too fucking long. PJ brings up Survivor, which Law fifes over. Ammon is gearing up for This is Us. Law discusses Mr. Mercedes, Scientology, Rick and Morty, Ray Donovan, and Laci Peterson. Ammon has Preacher and AHS: Cult.
1:45:15-Quick recap of technical difficulties.
1:50:45-QUOTE WHORES: BINGECAST EDITION ROUND 2
2:15:26-PJ watched The Room (for the first time!) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Law viewed The House. Ammon talks MoviePass, then shifts to Annabelle: Creation (which he watched part of), Despicable Me 3, and a rewatch of The Lego Batman Movie. Law forgot to bring up American Vandal earlier so him and PJ dick-scuss it.
First thing’s first – be warned that around 1:36:30 the audio goes a little nutty and Law’s voice is about 3-4 seconds ahead of Pete and Ammon’s. I tried to edit it as best I could without losing any of the conversation but for about a half hour things are a little confusing. It gets back on track after the pee break 2:11:22.
Anyhoo, Pete and Ammon join Law to discuss everything from TM and Kari’s wedding to the giant bully at Chrysler who dick-shames Law every night. There’s also reviews of IT, THE BIG SICK, GHOST HOUSE, DEATH NOTE, THE HERO, Mr. Mercedes, American Horror Story, Preacher, and lots more.
0:00:00-Shoes and Farts
0:04:20– Look at that time to the left. How ironic that the boys (Law and PeteMC) are waiting for that high life motherfucker. Audio problems. TM AND KARI TM ARE FUCKING WED! Congrats you two. How did the big day go down? Pete lets us in on the magic. Gross. Law has a wedding story. Movies on houses. What are people drinking? What’s Law life like now? Ammon finally shows up you cocksuckers. Everything that Pete discussed with Law about the wedding Ammon asks about so it is talked about for a second time. Jesus Christ. Revisiting Pete’s gig on a kid’s tv show.
0:28:52-GOOGLE VOICE (Live Sounder opening!)
1:14:05-TV ROUND UP. Mr. MC starts off the segment with The Murder of Laci Peterson, Preacher, Gone: The Forgotten Women of Ohio, and Scientology (audio problems begin around here, as the voices don’t sync up with the actual discussion). Ammon discusses American Horror Story: Cultand Mr. Mercedes. Law fucked up on The Sinner, then moves onto Rick and Morty. Anticipated Fall 2017 TV Shows. Bubba.
2:11:33-NEW PETEMC SOUNDER!
2:14:51-WHAT DID YOU WATCH? After a beautiful live Sounder from PeteMC and an AlyxMoreno name discussion, PeteMC starts us off with Death Note, Ghost and House. Law checked out The Hero, The Big Sick, and then him and Ammon tag team on It.
Everybody has been busy giving their highlights of the year (except Kupka – what the fuck was that?) and the good thing about going last is that you get to cheat off everybody else and say “I liked that shit too.” But I’ll try not to do that because a) I’m a professional, and b) I forget most of what they wrote and don’t feel like clicking my mouse a couple times to find out. Here goes – my favorite things of 2016
BOOKS
I fell away from reviewing books on the BingeCast this year partly because I’m a drunk idiot and always forget, and partly because I went on a tear this year, sometimes finishing two books a week, and couldn’t keep up with myself. Here’s a couple that come to mind as I wrap the year up. IN THE DARKNESS, THAT’S WHERE I’LL KNOW YOU: THE COMPLETE BLACK ROOM STORY by Luke Smithered in a brilliant little novel about a dude that wakes up inside a strange woman’s head. That’s all I can give without ruining the rest. CRITICAL FAILURES is a series of books by Robert Bevan in which a group of friends get thrust into their role playing game called Caverns & Creatures (not unlike Dungeons & Dragons). It’s a fun read filled with shit talking, farts, and dick jokes a plenty. The best audiobook I listened to by far this year though was ALIEN: OUT OF THE SHADOWS by Tim Lebbon. I can’t remember who recommended this to me on Facebook but I can’t thank them enough. The audio version is a full budget presentation with sound effects and entire cast. The story plays as an alternate sequel to the original ALIEN film (but officially says it takes place between ALIEN and ALIENS) and finds Ripley waking up aboard a mining ship in deep space. Said mining ship finds a shit load of Xenomorphs. It takes a lot for me to give a book credit that is basically going head-to-head with the greatest sequel ever made in my opinion so give it a shot and see what you think.
VIDEO GAMES
I’m pretty sure I played one actual video game this year. That’s okay because I absolutely dominated it with my boy, Pete MC. This year at Lawlapalooza in Chicago we met up with Chad D, Chad C, Nick, and Creepy 209. Add Moreno, Pete, myself, and lots of lovely wives and we lived through the greatest meet-up yet. At some point we stumbled into a bar/arcade and started talking shit. After a few rounds of Ninja Turtles, getting my ass handed to me on Donkey Kong, and a few shots of pure death, Pete and I settled into our spot on NBA JAM and started kicking everybody’s assholes all over the walls. That’s right, the walls were painted in assholes. I’m retired from gaming for now, a champion, a hero, a complete prick.
ANIMATED FILMS
As a whole, the animated genre is in it’s golden age. No longer is it just Pixar followed by everybody else. KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS is the biggest surprise on my list as I absolutely loved (almost) every second of it. Bundle that with the likes of ZOOTOPIA, FINDING DORY, MOANA, TROLLS, STORKS, and Pixar’s short film, BORROWED TIME, and you have one hell of a list. There were some clunkers too (THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS, ANGRY BIRDS, SAUSAGE PARTY) but those are easily outweighed by some brilliant films.
VADER
As I write this I’m gearing up for an all out podcast war with some of the other asshats from this site where we’ll argue about the importance, quality, and overall necessity of ROGUE ONE. Whatever the outcome of that conversation, there is one fact that I will not back down from – when Vader lights up his saber in the pitch black hallway after a few seconds of just his breathing is the single greatest shot in the history of STAR WARS cinema. What immediately follows is the best representation of the big bad we’re ever going to get on screen. Remember how excited we all were when we got to see Yoda kick ass in ATTACK OF THE CLONES? And how stupid it turned out to be? The Vader equivalent is anything but stupid – it’s glorious.
TV
There’s lots of good and bad in the television I watched this year, sometimes within the same series. STRANGER THINGS was good but failed to capture me the way it did countless others. THE WALKING DEAD had a great half hour of the premiere episode and then literally shit the bed every other second of screen time in what I consider to be one of the worst seasons of television I’ve ever watch throughout. SOUTH PARK started off on fire but felt like it went on a tad too long and lost some steam with me by the end. AMERICAN HORROR STORY pulled off the impossible by my standards by having me tap out mid-season and then having me tap back in before the end of the season (this is 100% Ammon’s fault and he’s an asshole). CHANNEL ZERO was the horror show I’ve been looking for, and even if it didn’t nail the landing, there were enough creepy moments to last a lifetime. VEEP was incredible from start to finish this year, leaving me wonder how they can ever top what they pulled off. I welcomed back BLACK MIRROR with open arms and was not disappointed. There’s an argument here that this show was pound-for-pound the most entertaining thing (movie or TV show) I watched this year. Some new shows caught my eye too – HORACE AND PETE was emotional, funny, and incredibly performed. ATLANTA was hilarious, all too real, and original. And DIVORCE was a triumphant comeback for Sarah Jessica Parker to HBO. The runs we were treated to by John Oliver on LAST WEEK TONIGHT and Samantha Bee on FULL FRONTAL might never be matched as they fell face first into a political shitstorm for the ages. ASH VS. EVIL DEAD was simply the greatest this year. I’ve ranted and raved enough about it on the show and in my personal life so I can hear everybody saying “We get it!” Shut up and watch. And of course, the first fully un-spoilerable season of GAME OF THRONES grabbed me by the jaw from the first episode and never let me look away. I loved it all. Book purists can sit and pout all they want, this was fantastic television.
MOVIES
I’m not going to get into my top films of the year here as we like to record a BEST OF 2016 BingeCast for that type of shit, but I will talk about some of my favorite moments. Such as the fantasy prom scene from SING STREET. This shit plays to my inner musical fan like a perfectly beat drum. I love random choreographed dance scenes in films. Don’t know why, just do. The fight between all the heroes in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR was as epic as they could make it. Sure nobody died, but we got to see Spider-Man hanging with his new friends and Ant-Man own almost every second of screen time he has. DON’T BREATHE made me gag and almost throw up at work, DEADPOOL made me laugh harder than I have in years, and HACKSAW RIDGE had one of the most unrelenting war scenes of all time and almost made me press pause to catch my breath. Twice. I got a cool-as-fuck Denzel in THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, a scary as all hell John Goodman in 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE, and a hot-as-shit Blake Lively in, one of my biggest surprises of the year, THE SHALLOWS. I loved Kevin Costner in CRIMINAL, wanted to hang with Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling in THE NICE GUYS, and marveled at the subtle indifference of Amy Adams in ARRIVAL and NOCTURNAL ANIMALS. I can’t tell if she’s an amazing actress or not, but I like her.
I guess that’s it. Prepare yourself for lots of shit talking in the new year on the BingeCast and, as always, have a drink or two for me whenever you have one.
Batch and Smash Valley join Law to start conspiracy theories about Garrett Gollins, answer voicemails and review a bunch of movie thingies.

Among other things happening this episode – the boys exchange drunk working-at-a-bar stories, horrible sports fail stories, watch a bunch of TV (American Horror Story, The Exorcist, Channel Zero, Atlanta, This Is Us, Rick and Morty, Ash vs. Evil Dead, People of Earth, and Westworld), and we select a winner of our 2016 Halloween Costume Contest.
0:02:30-Law and Pete MC are on the scene. Pete gives details about how the gears turn in the sounder lab, and how OH HAI Denny Louie helped with the Halloween sounder that opened the show. What drinks are the boys drinking? Do you care? You fucking should. Pete talks about how The Kicks got some shows in Bah-ston in March 2017. You should hit up “The Town” (get it? Shut up) and check them out.
0:15:35-A new sounder devoted to GC aka Mr. 4 on 10. Discussion about the aforementioned watermelon guzzler continues, then more bullshit.
0:30:30-Ammon joins the fun.
0:34:51-TV ROUND UP. Law questions if he can play “Spoil the Walking Dead” in the upcoming weeks as Season 7 has recently begun. Ammon butts in with AHS and gets down on his knees, pleading with Law and Pete that they gotta watch it. Another spectacular This is Us update by Mr. Gilbert. High Life continues on with Luke Cage. Westworld of course. Black Mirror is back and those three cocksuckers couldn’t be happier. Atlanta is still great. Shift to South Park. Ash Vs. Evil Dead talk. Law moves on to Goliath which is the springboard for a major tangent, something that takes up at least an hour of recording time, if not more. The Canadian rights the course with Divorce. Nearly two hours of TV Round Up. Gotta be in the Guinness Book of World Records or something now.
2:33:03-GUUGLE VOICE. During this portion, the Halloween sounder by Pete w/ alley-oop by Denny is revisited.
3:14:25-Surprise call in!
3:31:41-MOVIE HOMEWORK: Silver Bullet
3:58:21-WHAT DID YOU WATCH? Ammon begins things off with Burying the Ex, revisits of Sleepy Hollow, original Night of the Living Dead, and American Werewolf in London. Pete went back into the Halloween move vault with Trick R’ Treat, The Shining, The Exorcist, Halloween 1 and 2 (with old show commentaries!), Monster Squad, and Toy Story of Terror. Small tangent where Pete talks about his new gig that isn’t band related. Good luck with that sir! Law checked out Bad Moms and Mr. Church. The three band together to dissect Don’t Breathe. Moreno calls in to help out with thoughts on the movie. Show’s over. That’s it. Get out of here.
We’ve upped our game coming off the highest downloaded BingeCast of all time and the result just might be one of the most jam-packed shows of all time.

We got all that. Plus – Google Voice, Patreon shout-outs and questions, ChipDrunk sounders, new Kupka clips, a crapload of beer, Ammon’s drug test story, the saddest DVD cover quote story of all time, and laughing fits that make us black out and pee everywhere.
