Brain Dead Radio Episode 67: Mayonnaise Sandwich

[Abraham Smashington]

Rob and Ceej are back and are beating the heat with a vengeance. Rob is enjoying his pain medication and gives Ceej the reigns of the show in the beginning. Of course it went straight into sandwich talk. Listen in horror as Ceej describes an encounter with a beast that craves mayonnaise while Rob is off in his own little world. They join back up to get to the meat of the episode by championing and then ripping into Prometheus (spoilers: 11:20 – 38:20). They discuss how the movie is just like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book but with a writer that is actively mad at you throughout. Rob then spares Ceej the shittiness of Piranha 3DD by discussing the only redeeming feature in his opinion. Seriously, stay away from it. It’s bad.

EAT THE MAYO

[Captain Russ]

Whiskey mayo sounds great.

And by great I mean terrible.

Also: Fuck 3D.

[BillyG]

Oh man that's a terrifying photoshop. Hope I can listen to this today.

[Timothy225]

Loved it. Total agreement about Piranha 3DD - that flick was flat out awful and everyone involved should remove it from their resumes. The line Rob quoted was the only laugh in the film.

Prometheus sounds more and more like a rental for me, and apparently a lot of folks. And 3D films aren't a must-have for me at all. Oh, sure, for stuff like Avatar I can understand, but this mad rush to make damn near every flick 3D saddens me. Agree that post conversion is a flat out waste - if the film wasn't shot in 3D in the first place, it's gonna show when you post-convert it to the point it'll take me out of the film.

[Abraham Smashington]

Thanks Tim! we were laughing afterwards as we both went in prior loving Prometheus, but after chatting about it our minds were changed.

[Timothy225]

If it helps, I think CJ killed whatever desire I had for seeing this at the movies. Thanks, CJ, you dainty lil' snowflake, you!

Also, $10 says CJ tears up during the wedding. He IS invited, right?

Thanks Tim! we were laughing afterwards as we both went in prior loving Prometheus, but after chatting about it our minds were changed.

But it's pretty, Rob.

[Abraham Smashington]

We both agreed that we loved the tech and alot of the stuff within the movie, but the waves of unanswered questions took away some of the love. I'm still psyched for the director's cut in hope of some answers. GIVE ME MY MAGICAL SPACE PISS CAVE DAMON!

[BMichaelKrol]

I'm interested in the directors cut because I have to believe Scott didn't turn in such a crappy movie intentionally.

[Abraham Smashington]

I went through the art book this weekend and they had some pretty interesting stuff that didn't seem to bei n the movie. Also bummed they changed some of the cooler looking designs for the final product.

[Nathan]

CJ sure missed some important parts of Prometheus.

[Nathan]

Space staples!

[Nathan]

Yutani is another name, not Weyland's.

[Nathan]

Agree with CJ about the furry little alien.
