Binge Movie Aftertaste – Transformers Retrospective w/ Matthew Goudreau and Nate Peterson: Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

It is one of the most unusual franchises in history as it is derisive among purists, yet it is also a lucrative moneymaker. I am of course talking about Transformers. A 1984 cartoon that had a massive toy line, only to be replaced by a whole new toy line by 1986’s game changing theatrical film. And then came producer Steven Spielberg, who hand picked non fan of the cartoon Michael Bay to handle a live action version of that oh so lucrative toy line from many years ago. With five films, a cartoon movie, and a brand new prequel starring Bumblebee, we tackle a franchise that is derided and molded. But how will myself, Nate, and Matt respond to it?

Michael Bay blames it on the writer’s strike as well as his tendency to interject ‘goofy humor’ into his films. Critics blame just about everything Bay does as being juvenile. Yet, despite the supposed dip in quality from the last film, and a mighty low Rotten Tomatoes score -Nate reveals what that is on the podcast- Transformers Revenge of the Fallen made almost $150 million more than its predecessor. Is it as bad as we remembered?

Join Nate, Matt, and myself as we delve into that very question, and evaluate how well or poorly the film has aged. All of us agreed we had a much better time with the previous film than we were expecting. What about this one?

Keep coming back, as this retrospective will end with a review of the brand new prequel Bumblebee.

Binge SportsCast: NFL Contenders and Pretenders, College Football Playoff, and Binge Fantasy Football

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Remember to call us with your questions/comments/suggestions for the show #708-316-8822…

0:00:00 – What’s going on with everyone! TM is fresh off his appearance on the big show! Has he recovered? I think he’s drinking tea…

0:07:20 – BSV: The guys check in on the BS Voicemail.  Vikings fans are getting cocky… huh?

0:26:00 – COLLEGE ROUNDUP: The 3rd to last College Football Playoff Rankings are released.  Does the Big Ten have a chance to get in?  This past weekend helped slightly, but it’s all going to come down to the Championship games next week.

0:35:38 – AROUND THE LEAGUE: This weeks news/reaction to what the hell some teams were doing this past weekend.

1:02:45 – CONTENDERS & PRETENDERS:  We’ve finally reached a point where we can start weeding out those good teams and those teams that are just randomly finding ways to win.  Do the Eagles have what it takes to take down the Patriots?  Does KC find a way to get itself back in the AFC picture?  Which team in the AFC wants to play in the wildcard… could it be a sleeper?

1:28:55 – THE PICKS:  Last weeks picks are discussed, and we find out that another late cover completely screwed over the guys.  Its a downward spiral at this point for everyone.  Thank god we don’t bet.  We bring in listener Luke to make the guest picks.

1:40:20 – FANTASY: Who’s still in it and who’s got no shot with 2 weeks to go!  Does TM still hold that top spot?  Who should be there and who’s hanging on by a string?

Keep an eye out for the Binge Sportscast on a weekly basis through the NFL season!

Binge Movie Aftertaste – The Karate Kid Retrospective w/ Nate P and Moreno Part III

, , , , , , , , , , ,

Welcome to Part III of our three part look at the entire Karate Kid franchise. If you have come this far, you have looked back at the first two films fondly, and wondered where the last two went wrong. Ok, MOST of us think the last two were wrong. Specifically, the last one.

Nonetheless, this week we look at one movie, and one movie only. That being the 2010 Karate Kid remake starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. Just a few of the things me, Nate, and Moreno bring up during the podcast:

  • Why are most of these movies so damn long?
  • What are the main differences between the original and remake? Hell, who are we kidding. Why is it almost Psycho 1998 type emulation instead of making a new identity for themselves?
  • Why is the ‘romance’ in this movie so damn creepy?
  • What is Nate’s nickname for Mr Han (hint: it is once again amazing)?
  • Why are the bad guys of this film so….bland?
  • How the hell did that oil get on the bullies if it was thrown by 60 lb Jaden Smith?
  • Why is original writer Robert Mark Kamen’s name given story credit for this film?
  • What is coming soon on the Aftertaste?

I want to thank Moreno and Nate for a nice time through the Karate world of these films. We are all already talking about what we will review together next. Until then, enjoy some impossible kicks from one Jaden Smith.

The Binge Movie Aftertaste – The Karate Kid Retrospective w/ Nate P And Moreno Part II

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

I have had the pleasure of being part of some pretty amusing podcasts since joining the Binge airwaves. However, I dare to say this may be the most I have ever laughed while recording. While covering The Karate Kid Part III and The Next Karate Kid, me and my two asshole co-hosts point out things such as:

  • What is Nate’s name for Terry Silver (hint: it is amazing)
  • What is Moreno’s name for Terry Silver (hint: it is even more amazing)
  • Is Teen Witch the worst love interest in the history of cinema?
  • How awesome is Daniel’s macaroni and cheese monologue?
  • Who the hell likes The Next Karate Kid?
  • What is up with all the damn laughing in Part III?

Trust me. This just scratches the surface of this amazing podcast. Press the play button, and get your weekend started right.

Monday Morning Moreno – MacGyver commentary with Ammon and Sass

, , , , , , , , ,

Holy shit was this a fun commentary.

Ammon Gilbert joins me for his very first appearance on Monday Morning Moreno to bask in our mutual love of MacGyver.  The episode is called “Ghost Ship” and is the 4th episode in Season 3 and features MOTHERFUCKING BIGFOOT.  Yeah, that’s right.  I’ve had this idea ever since seeing this episode for the first time a few months.  Gilbert, Pacific Northwest, Bigfoot, perfect right?  But with the recent influx of Sass Quatch on Facebook, I felt the time was ripe to get this puppy off the ground.

Not only that, I had Sass himself join us for the commentary.  It’s a sure fire way to get under that cocksucker, Jack Valley’s skin.  I’ve never claimed to play the game straight.  Bitches.

Hope you enjoy.

Monday Morning Moreno – Me and Nate P

, , , , , , , , ,

natelance“Fuck you photographs” – NateP
You know his voice.  You know his catchphrases.  You know his love for food.
It’s Sir Nate P of The Realm on this week’s Monday Morning Moreno.  That’s right, Food Review UK’s own joins the show to drop food knowledge, Brit knowledge, and surprisingly, brings up interesting points on the merits of The Office US.  No, not better than original UK version, but lays out why he thinks it works.
Our main topic of conversation that we get into later on in the show is social media and how it’s not only brought us into each other’s circle (jerks), but also led us to finding our current spouses.
That’s right, current.  Don’t act up, ladies.
Other notes I have written down:
  • Finchy from the original Office is a descendant from a character in Game of Thrones S2, where the same actor played an Ironborn
  • I am drinking Jim and Tomics
  • Lubrican.  Lubrican’t
  • I need to read 100 Bullets
  • Binge should do an All British Show

Hope you guys enjoy the tangents, word play, puns, and TWO BLOKES ‘AVIN A LAUGH AND A GAFF.

Binge Movie Aftertaste w/ Our Tribute to Wes Craven; The Visit Review w/ Nathan Peterson

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

BMAWCThis week, the Binge Movie Aftertaste brings you its most off kilter show yet. With the recent passing of Wes Craven hitting us where it hurts, the lovely Jason Morris and I decided to give our own insights as to what he meant to us and cinema in general. We then call up longtime Binge Cast listener Nathan Peterson to tell us what he thought of the new M Night Shyamalan film The Visit. Peterson rewards us by continually making us hungry with mentions of his gig at Food Review UK. All of this while drinking. Aren’t we talented?

As mentioned above, the first 50 minutes or so of this podcast is spent with Jason and I mourning the sudden death of horror director Wes Craven. But what starts off as a loving tribute turns into probably our most heated on air conversation yet, as I question the merits behind people calling Craven a ‘master of horror,’ and Jason has good to great things to say about each film on his resume except one. Which one? You’ll have to listen to find out. Nonetheless, no matter how I feel about the quality of his overall resume, there is no denying the film world suffered a huge loss last week.

Proving that our show is unlike no other, we segue from a tribute to a departed director into a discussion about the one and only M Night Shyamalan, specifically his brand new horror/comedy The Visit. For help on this topic, we called Peterson. See, not only did he see a preview screening of the film, there was a Q & A session with Shyamalan that Peterson is more than happy to talk about. At least, what he remembers from it. All three of us give our overall views of Shyamalan as a director, and Jason grills us -without spoilers- about what to expect with The Visit.

Is it as bad as The Happening? Was The Happening even bad? Why am I talking like The Riddler? Listen to find out! Thanks a ton to Nate for taking a few minutes to talk to us about his M Night experience. Be sure to check out his reviews on the Food Review UK You Tube channel.

Note: Not only was Nathan suffering from ‘Great Brit-AIDS,’ for the first 7 minutes or so that he is on the air with us, his wifi was apparently suffering the same. Get through that little rough patch known as his intro, and you will be free to drink again without listening to Nate’s sound issues. Though there’s still his accent to deal with……
