Brain Dead Radio Episode 83: Proops, Poops, and Space Abortions

[Abraham Smashington]

Rob and Ceej take a moment of silence for an actor they both enjoy and quickly discuss their favorite movies he starred in. Star Wars Fever has hit Rob all over again thanks to the announcement of the cast for the new film. The duo discuss what they want to see in the new movies before Ceej lays it all down on the line and explains just why Jedi are pro-choice. Rob then offends everyone, Ceej finally dabbles into the realm of having good taste by finally checking out the first 4 seasons of Breaking Bad, and they discuss the upcoming convention and their ideas for poses with their idols.

anyone have a chance to listen to this?

[BillyG]

anyone have a chance to listen to this?

Probably tomorrow while I am stuck at my desk with spreadsheets.

[Anderson]

I'll try again tonight.

[Abraham Smashington]

that bad that it takes multiple times to make it through?

[Captain Russ]

Gonna listen while I get back to work here in a few. Will give thoughts, farts, prognostication afterward.

I've been watching old MST3Ks for the past couple of weeks and I've gotta say that preference for either relies mostly on the day.

Sometimes it's a Joel day sometimes it is a Mike type of day. I felt the later seasons lost the spark when Trace left the Forrester and Crow roles, as well as the lack of TV's Frank. That was the bigger for/against prompting for my selection than the Joel/Mike aspect.

And yes, the middle of season 5 was when they changed over, and it was a fantastic, mean-spirited sort of commentary during the Joe Don Baker film Mitchell. It was hilarious and ruthless. It's become a recent favorite.

[Captain Russ]

The Goonies were assholes in their own way.

I'd like to see a head to head fight between the shitty Attack the Block kids and the shitty Goonies kids.

The Stand By Me kids would win.

I was never HUGE into MST3K but enjoyed both guys. You and Ceej obviously know much more than me. Will need to check out that flick.

The Goonies were assholes but they weren't shit heads. AtB kids were shitheads.

Stand by Me wins all of the kids movies.

I was a huge MST3K guy back around the time of the changeover, but then the movie came and went and I latched onto other interests.

Still, it is the root of the reason I shit talk during movies that are bad.

[Abraham Smashington]

I do have the movie to watch wtih Lesley as she's never seen it.

If you had to recommend a few good episodes of MST3K what would they be? Really looking for a few good choices to try to get Lesley in to it.

[Captain Russ]

The movie is pretty good as an introduction.

I'd check out this site and look at the votes of fellow citizens to guide the selection process.

Favorites that are in the 200+ are usually a solid bet.

Mitchell is just so wonderful because the movie is such a shitty shitpile and Joe Don Baker just gives less than a solitary fuck about anything and it becomes sort of endearing by the end.

[Abraham Smashington]

sweet, thank for that link man.

[Captain Russ]

Yer welcome.

I love the internet sometimes.

Can't wait to hear about the Feldman meeting.

[Captain Russ]

Greatest outro choice ever.

Fun ep. It flew by. No Proops or podraces for me. But then I think the prequels were an abomination with no redeeming qualities beyond employing talented people to do the bidding of a dork without any self-awareness. The concept art from those movies is almost worth Jake Lloyd and the horrors of "acting" bestowed upon untold millions of people.

Sound was a little odd compared to previous installments but that may be due to the trackless format.
