Culturology 052 - I'm Not Going Any Farther Until This is Solved

If the Rubix Cube was to the '80s what Magic Eye puzzles were to the '90s, what fills in that pattern for the '00s?

I really don't know, myself, but it's been bothering the hell out of me. There's got to be something, right?

We do not endorse Shy Ronnie

I ust wanted to remind all of you that neither my alter ego RonnieB, nor UAL, is in any way affiliated with Andy Samberg's Shy Ronnie. That is all.

Actually, that isn't all - what the hell is RiRi wearing? Ha-HA!

Double Impact (1991) - TXT Message Review

Double Impact (1991) - 5/10 - Tons of fun, but kind of lame at the same time. Van Damme must have been taxed by the dual role.

The Top 9 Things I Could Live Without

Last week I told you what I wanted for Christmas (Nick and I are still accepting presents), and now this week - just to be safe - I'd like to tell you what I neither want nor need (again, please note that we are currently accepting presents).

9. Zombies - I am so horrendously sick of America's fascination with the undead - particularly zombies. What is so exciting about what is essentially a deranged flesh eating clown without the makeup? (Oh yeah, I hate clowns too...)

8. Twilight - Perhaps it goes without saying based on #9, but this particular parasitic bit of YA fiction can go eat some garlic laced silver nitrate and die.

7. Tyler Perry and M. Night Shyamlan - Original, eh?

6. Multi-Baby Mama Drama - If Jon & Kate plus 8 and the Octomom simply vanished, we as a nation would all be better off.

Deep Dish Sucks!

Deep Dish Sucks!

5. Chicago style deep dish pizza - The crust is overly buttery, the toppings are boring, and after one slice you're full. Pizza is NOT a casserole. [Note - I have to disagree on this one. IMO, ya gotta go straight to the source! Either Pizzeria Uno or Pizzeria Due ("due" as in italian for "two") in downtown Chi-town. Or, check out some of the local deep dish in the nearby (a.k.a. not Peoria) Chicago suburbs. - Nick] [Author's Note - Neal has been to both Due & Uno, as well as Giordano's and they all suck donkey balls! sorry Chi]

4. Hipsters - Hey you, scenesters! Guess what? I actually like music and occasionally bowling. Perhaps you could take your chain smoking, overly compressed testes somewhere else.

f0f3

gross.

3. CG - The current state of computer graphics in movies is apalling. SFX look shittier and more phoned in then ever before. Remember the Matrix? If you want cool character makeup / effects, you should really just call Tom Savini.

2. Biodiesel - Nothing grinds my gears more than people who prattle on about how awesome biofuels are. Biodiesel is crap and so are your views on the environment. Oh - and screw you too ethanol. [Note - Neal once killed a man for believing in global warming. - Nick] [Author's Note - Yup, global warming is junk science]

1. Someone freezing and slicing my brain live on the Internet - They were actually doing this on Wednesday for some famous amnesiac. In three words: Do. Not. Want.

Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Awesome!

P.S. Anyone submitting Old Dogs, A Christmas Carol, or excessively vocodered hip hop music as nominees will be cast out from the AudioShocker kingdom forever!!! Okay, we'll probably just make fun of you... but do you really want to face our harsh ridicule??? (Perhaps Pete does)

A Podcast with Ross and Nick #26 - Dead Dreams

Confusion over the X-Men's newest event, Necrosha, spills into a discussion of Ross and Nick's respective X-Men dream teams (can you already guess who makes the cuts?) and, somehow, the X-Men manage to take up the entire podcast. BUT before it's over... Ross and Nick officially announce the call for nominations for the 2009 YOU DON'T SUCK Awards! So get submitting, loyal APWRAN listeners!!! Next time: For real (as in it's actually been recorded and everything), Ross and Nick debate the ultimate superhero question: do heroes kill?

AudioShocker Podcast #108 - Setting the Age to 99

We get things started with a fun little game of F%$k One, Marry One, Eat One (FME), and spin directly into a ridiculously in depth argument over cover letters vs. resumes (wherein, sadly, no one wins). Then it's media ahoy as we talk about the following (not necessarily in this order): Secret Lives of Women and Sparky, Better Off Ted, Nurse Jackie, ABC, Dead or Alive Ultimate, reviews of Fantastic Mr. Fox and Old Dogs, The Rock in Disney flicks, old school X-Factor and Uncanny X-Men, a webcomics crossover announcement (!!!), and we close it down with Neal's review of POP!

AND... make sure to submit your nominations for the 2009 YOU DON'T SUCK Awards for Music, Movies, Comics, and TV!!! Listen to this episode for more and also check out the 2008 YDS Awards for inspiration. Then post your nominees right here in the comments section!
