It's pretty routine for Nick and I to trade administrative AudioShocker emails around the clock. The following are excerpts from an email thread that got out of hand. It isn't really an AIMcast, but we had to share it with you.

Nick: Do you need me to do a fill-in podcast for this weekend? Make a command decision now because I need to plan for it if that's the case!
Neal: No, we ARE podcasting! My dad leaves by 5pm. I will be clicking/ticking like MacGyver.
Nick: okay but why like MacGyver?... I don't get it!
Neal: MacGyver... bombs...
Nick: He makes bombs?
Neal: Stop analyzing! I'll be there.
Nick: Be where? Making a bomb with MacGyver? He lives on a houseboat, you know.
Neal: Isn't that the Highlander?
Nick, Wow he lives on a houseboat too? So does Leon Phelps. All my heroes live on a houseboat. Wait, new band name! "All My Heroes Live on a Houseboat"
Neal: Should do a Top 9 Houseboat Dwellers!
Nick: Well I can only think of four off the top of my head - you got anymore?
Neal: What about TJ from European Gigolo
Nick: Holy SHIT! I forgot about T.J. You know, Neal, I've been holding out on you. Chuck Norris lived on a houseboat in one of his awesome action movies.

Perhaps you can help us add to our list. Who else in film or TV lives on a houseboat?

Happy Labor Day from The AudioShocker!

Here, in painstakingly particular (and genius) order, are the Top 9 Best Live-Action Superhero Movies of all-time:

9. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
8. Blade (1998)
7. Batman: The Movie (1966)
6. X2 (2005)
5. Batman Returns (1992)
4. Iron Man (2008)
3. Batman (1989)
2. X-Men (2000)
1. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

I know what you must be thinking. "Nick," you're saying to yourself, "You are completely out of your @#$%ing mind." But go back and reread the list. The effect should sound something like, "Wait… this list is actually quite brilliant."

So here's the thing: I KNOW that people out there will disagree with me. If you think there's a better Top 9 Best Live-Action Superhero Movies, then post your version in the comments.

However, if you don't post your own version of this Top 9, I will consider my list as unchallenged and therefore the definitive list of Best Live-Action Superhero Movies by default.

Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Awesome. Now that’s what I call math.
