Batch and Smash Valley join Law to start conspiracy theories about Garrett Gollins, answer voicemails and review a bunch of movie thingies.
TV Round-Up rocks South Park, Ash vs. Evil Dead, Westworld, Channel Zero, American Horror Story, Divorce, The Walking Dead, This Is Us, Luke Cage, Black Mirror, and even a little Survivor.
What Did You Watch has THE MONSTER, HACKSAW RIDGE, COME FIND ME, HELL OR HIGH WATER, ARRIVAL, WAR DOGS, SUICIDE SQUAD, BEETLEJUICE, THE HOBBIT EXTENDED EDITION, and a live call in from Bill Tremendous with his thoughts on FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM.
Grab a beer, sit back, and let us make your ears bleed. With happiness.
Could a Broken Matt Hardy vs Bray Wyatt feud happen sooner than expected? Well, if WWE ends up buying TNA (which is a real possibility), this really could take place and Luke and Batch are here for an all-new wrestling edition of the Binge SportsCast to explain exactly what’s happening with this crazy situation. Who are the players? How do the Smashing Pumpkins fit into all of this? And where would all the TNA guys end up? We’ve got all of that for you to kick off the show and as it always happens, the show just rolls from there as the guys get caught up a bit by talking about everything that happened a few weeks ago at Backlash, what went down at this past weekend’s Clash of Champions and everything else in between.
Welcome to a GLORIOUS wrestling edition of the Binge SportsCast. As I really didn’t have one spare second last week for a SummerSlam preview show, I went ahead and gathered my wrestling crew of Batch and Super Marcey for a reaction show instead. Join us as the show opens with arguably the best theme song ever created not named “Real American” which leads us directly into NXT Takeover: Brooklyn II and we just go from there. From the unbelievably jacked up finish that was Randy Orton vs Brock Lesnar and who needs to be the one to take Lesnar down to a rant on the new title belts on both RAW and SmackDown to Batch tearing up about Bayley and Luke tearing up about Finn Balor, this show has it all….even a compliment from Batch about John Cena. Yep, you read that right. You’ll have to listen in to hear it.
In life, sometimes one must sack up and be a man. With all three cocksucking stooges on vacation this week Valley was given the reigns of the BingeCast, a first not only for him but also for the site, and the CS delivered. As is custom, Episode IV enlists the aural stylings of both 4-On-10 and BATCH to help him get through a BingeCast for all seasons.
TV Round Up has The Tick, Fuller House (yeah, you read that right), The Night Of, Star Trek TOS and TNG as well as The Get-Down. The boys don’t have access to Google Voice so they make up for it with some movie news, argue about Mary Jane and even give you a solid trailer round-up where they complain about IMDB and Garrett hates Werner Herzog (fucking shocker there). Batch does a little Literally Literary and then the nitty gritty of What Did You Watch.
IMPERIUM, SPACEMAN, PETE’S DRAGON, SAUSAGE PARTY and KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS all show up, and one of these CSers thinks they have seen their favorite movie of 2016. Who is it, which movie, and exactly what is Garrett’s new sounder? All that and a lot more in this week’s BingeCast.
Welcome to the latest wrestling edition of the Binge SportsCast. As we gear up for Sunday’s WWE Battleground pay-per-view, I’m joined once again by Batch and Super Marcey to discuss everything that’s been happening in the wrestling world and we had a lot on our plate this time around. We actually begin the show with a little TNA talk as we discuss the ridiculousness that is the feud between Matt and Jeff Hardy and just take it from there as we get into the Cruiserweight Classic, the card for Battleground and of course, the WWE Draft that took place this past Tuesday on the debut episode of Smackdown Live. Listen in as we all discuss our disappointment on how things went down and where exactly the company goes from here.
Welcome to an all-new wrestling edition of the Binge SportsCast. The whole crew is here as we welcome Rybatch back to the fold following his suspension. Joining us, as she’ll be doing on a more regular basis, is Super Marcey, who fights through a broken foot and a sketchy internet connection to throw in her two cents on all of the topics we’ve got this week. We’ve obviously got our reactions to the Money In The Bank pay-per-view from Sunday night as well as our thoughts on the upcoming draft and brand split, the Roman Reigns suspension, the AJ Styles interview with Stone Cold and much more.
Welcome to the Great Canadian BingeCast Spectacular! Law, Batch, and Denny Luis have joined forces to celebrate everything Canada. Our best films, our best actors, our hottest women, our best television, and, of course, Tim Horton’s.
We also make time to review ANGRY BIRDS, THE NICE GUYS, NEIGHBORS 2, ELVIS AND NIXON, and even get some thoughts on X-MEN: APOCALYPSE from our overseas listeners.
Grab a dozen donuts and some maple syrup (starving right now) and settle in for the most well mannered podcast you ever did hear, eh.
Here’s an idea for an article that has been moving around inside my head since December of last year. With nothing other than superhero movies to talk about -and trust me, I have plenty to say about this year’s onslaught – I thought I would take a break from movie talk and expouse upon this topic while expanding it into an entire article.
People who have been listening to Binge Media for awhile know that if there is one thing that dildo making Canadian and I have in common, it is that we are both massive fans of The Howard Stern. An undoubtedly influential figure of radio, it is highly doubtful that we would be on the airwaves if it were not for his forward thinking of the medium. Firings, motion pictures, inner office turmoil, a set of satellite radio channels named after him, a gig on America’s Got Talent. There is no doubt that Stern has done it all.
So how does this relate to Binge Media? Well, when I first came here, I found myself thinking that in its own little way, Binge Media is just our own mini version of The Howard Stern Show. Each cast member of our little corner of the internet represents a certain niche. And what I believe Law & Moreno have masterfully done is bring people who can all bring different things, so that each show is a different animal altogether. With all this in mind, I have related each member of the site to certain cast members of Stern’s show as relates to their personalities. So have fun reading how I envision each of us assholes being.
First up –
Jim Law/Howard Stern
The first answer would seem to be the most obvious. Binge Media, for all intents and purposes, is Jim Law’s baby. He and Moreno also have this in common with The King Of All Media: they have been fired from their former employer only to turn it around and make their show that much more entertaining. Listening to Law on the air is a lot like listening to Stern from his heyday for a few different reasons. One, he likes to get different people from the network on and expose their weaknesses in a busting balls kind of way. For example, the last time I was co-hosting the Binge Cast with him, Law played the infamous infomercial about where my 4 on 10 nickname came from. I have a feeling I will never hear the end of that little piece of Binge history. It was almost like when Stern’s former producer KC Armstrong was on the air mentioning how he noticed how ‘frumpy’ Dan Marino’s ass was, mere months after taking a lie detector test to see if he was gay or not. A random quote that will be taken to extraordinarily hilarious depths is how both Howard and Binge Media roll. And you know what? I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Johnny Moreno/Artie Lange
Ok. I may be going out on a limb with this one but hear me out. I understand Moreno has never tried stabbing himself to death or unknowingly slept with a hooker who asked him for $300 in the morning or is doing heroine behind all our backs – at least that I know of. The off the wall, degenerative lifestyle Lange so off handedly depicted is not what I am referring to here. It is Moreno’s way of inflecting his voice while hammered and trying to get a review out which makes me compare him to Lange. Plus, they have both been known to blurt out a side splitting insult or two.
Ammon Gilbert/Richard Christy
People know Richard Christy as a guy who likes to smoke weed and watch horror movies. People know Ammon Gilbert – as a guy who likes to smoke weed and watch horror movies. To the best of my knowledge, Ammon has not done phony phone calls to clock owners who pronounce the word ‘clock’ as ‘cock’ like Richard has. But I have been surprised before.
Jim Kupka/KC Armstrong
This one was a given. I am convinced there are not two more angry people on the planet than KC and Kupka. For those who have only heard The Howard Stern Show from 2004 on, Howard had a producer named KC Armstrong from 1997 – 2004. KC was a unique individual in that he was a jock in college who ended up studying communications. Somehow, he ended up on Howard’s staff, and pretty soon the signs were appearing of just how angry he was. Armstrong could usually be heard yelling to women in studio to ‘bust those things out’ while trying to convince a woman to take off her top. He would also just yell, and yell angrily. Describe anyone you know?
Mike Batchelor/Stuttering John Melendez
Batch (YAAAHHHHHHHH) is one of those additions to staff who, with both the Binge Gamecast and Sportscast, definitely has a big on air input to the show. But many people don’t know his off air contributions. He has been called on to edit my shows at the very last minute, and has also gotten Luke Norris out of a few jams as well. John…wasn’t that reliable. But the contributions of his off beat celebrity interviews and on air persona -plus some real laugh inducing stammering- made for unique conversations each and every time he was on the air. He also had a big ball of passion about sports, and could often be heard arguing with certain members of the staff about them. Batch is much in the same boat. Though not as confrontational as John, Batch can have an opinion and make sure all of us know about it. And he also stutters. Not really.
Jack Valley/Gary Dell’Abate
Yes. Jack is the official BabaBooey of the Binge Media staff. Seems you listeners have a love/hate relationship with Jack -though it would appear to have swayed more in the love direction since his brilliant Making A Sasquatch series- and Jack revels in both opinions of him. Gary (I hate typing out that dumb last name of his) is much the same way, and he is regularly mocked each time he walks in studio. Jack’s presence, of course, is not to that extreme. But his Patriots love has him spinning that wheel for close to six months each and every year. Gary also got a nickname early on in his time with the show. After mistakenly calling a painting he had bought ‘BabaBooey’ instead of the character’s name BaBa Looey, Gary thought the nickname his ‘Boff’ layed upon him would disappear within a week. Fast forward thirty years later, and he can’t go anywhere without hearing the name yelled at him and his family. In much the same way, if Jack thinks ‘Jack VALLEY is going away anytime soon, he is gravely mistaken about how his ‘Boff’ works things around here.
Luke Norris/Jackie Martling
The final staff member on the list was actually the hardest one for me to do. I went all over the place with Luke, even at one point putting him as Howard’s former producer Scott Einzinger. In the end I went with the endlessly annoying, out for plugs of his stuff former writer Jackie Martling. Now this may seem like an insult, but let me elaborate a bit to try and defend this placement. One, Luke has many other things going on besides his work with Binge, and it sometimes seems like the show is extended five minutes just by advertising his other endeavors. Another example worth noting is Luke’s rants during the infamous five hour BingeCast him and I were on. Jackie would always find himself having to apologize to either his wife (at the time) or the staff themselves for his antics at social gatherings. Luke’s apologized once or twice on the show for things he has done. Though never approaching the annoyance of Martling (I actually LIKE Luke), the comparison would seem to be a stable one.
Welcome to a very special edition of the Binge SportsCast. With WWE Payback on the horizon, Batch and I first needed to do a recap of WrestleMania 32, which we certainly do get to in detail. But for a show this big, we needed a little help. So I went 15 hours into the future to find it. Making her debut on the Binge Media Podcast Network, Super Marcey joins us all the way from Australia and let me tell you, this girl knows her stuff. If you’re not familiar with her, please do yourself a favor and check out her website, Super Marcey’s Super Network, which you can find at SuperMarcey.com.
Before the three of us dive into the WrestleMania recap and this weekend’s pay-per-view, we start off the show with a ten-bell salute to Chyna and discuss whether or not she’ll ever get into the WWE Hall of Fame, followed by the inevitable discussion of her porn career. From there, we just get into anything and everything in the wrestling world in what was one of my favorite shows to record. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.
