Brain Dead Radio Episode 157: The King and I

[Abraham Smashington]

Rob and Ari are back with tales of wars in the stars, sexy Norse gods, and questions from the fans!


The King of the Jews graces the BDR studios via satellite link to talk all things nerd with Rob in this amazing episode. Rian Johnson is taking care of business for the foreseeable future in regards to the Star Wars franchise and our duo have a bunch of thoughts about this. Thor: Ragnarok (Spoilers: 27:20-38ish) was a ton of fun, Ari can’t get Naked Goldblum out of his head, Flies would have been amazing, and our duo answers a ton of questions from fans over on the BDR Forums!

That shout out!! Quick someone make me an IMDB!! Also enjoying it 30 mins in so far but can Ari not record in a fish tank next time?

[Abraham Smashington]

he had a new headset mic. maybe the other mic he has would work better?

[Anderson]

Ari's rationale behind the new trilogy is kinda correct.

[Anderson]

Skull Island came out in March.

[Abraham Smashington]

YAY, I was right then!

And yeah, after reading your rumors in that other thread, good job Ari.

[Ari]

I could have sworn Skull Island came out last year.

Oh well, I have a five year old so my sense of time is nonexistent.

Damn, the new mic doesn't sound that good, huh? I can use the other one next time then.

[Nathan]

Yes, other Mic was better. Listening now!

Thanks for the answers fellas! No clue what I was doing when I asked any of those questions, aside from cooking while I typed weird shit.

One thing I think that may have been miscommunicated on my end was the Best Brian question. Benben was in Dream On and the Dolph Lundgren versus alien drug dealer classic I Come in Peace. No idea if that changes things or just reinforces the endorsement of Brian Brown but figured I clear that up anyway.

A Creature/Critter resurgence would be interesting.

I'm not too hot on the idea of so many different Star Wars things coming down the pike year over year (if my shitposting in the Star Wars thread were not obvious enough already). It kinda sounds like a sure-fire strategy to send many not named Rob towards burnout with that sort of oversaturation.

But then I realize it's just not for me anymore and will probably never cater to my interests.

Is there a property you guys used to like that you've dropped or fallen out with?

[Nathan]

You sold me on Ragnarok.

I too was a Genesis kid.

I liked the first Transformers movie, and watched like the first 3 or 4 Saw films, but now have absolutely zero interest in them. Terminator too, I guess (I still haven't sat through all of Genysis or Genisys or Jennysaas) but I felt fatigued on that one during T3.

Transformer toys are still kinda neat though.

[Abraham Smashington]

Genisys is fucking dope.
