8 bits, but not much glory

By Monte • Mar 29th, 2010 • Category: Mont-agon, Production

Approximately 25 years ago I began playing with sound on the computer. The hardware and software has come a long way since then, but sometimes I long for the good old days, before the dark times… Before the Empire. Sorry, Star Wars geek moment. What I mean is who doesn’t hear an 8-bit video game [...]

Where were you when The Revolution began?

By Matt • Mar 27th, 2010 • Category: Reviews, The Inquisition

After watching Food Revolution’s premiere on ABC I came to two conclusions: School lunch is just as bad as when I was a kid and holy mother of god it may have gotten worse.  In this new series British chef Jamie Oliver is launching a campaign to improve the diets of school children in America [...]



Thrill-apalooza

By Derek • Mar 25th, 2010 • Category: Reviews

It’s been a movie watching kind of week.  As Matt wrote in his post this week we did watch ‘New Moon,’ with the RiffTrax of course.  Along with that though we watched two other very different movies, ‘House of the Devil’ and ‘The Box.’
House of the Devil – Much Scarier Than the Sublet Apartment of [...]



Twilight and Hamburgers

By Matt • Mar 22nd, 2010 • Category: The Inquisition

So last night Derek and I watched New Moon with Rifftrax.  Even with the addition of Mike Nelson and crew commenting on the film it was still a nearly unwatchable film.  It’s like some kind of thing that sucks the life out of you.  Now first I’ll point out that I do have two strikes [...]



Tell me a story

By Derek • Mar 19th, 2010 • Category: The Literary Thunderdome

Not literally, you don’t have to send me in a story you wrote.  Well, I mean you could, but that’s not the point of this post.  I’m not even talking about a normal story.  I should start to explain.
This past Tuesday I purchased Drive-By Trucker’s new album ‘The Big To Do.’  This post isn’t a [...]

The Game
Let’s start with the game shall [...]



The Black Dynamite Review you Jive Turkey

By Derek • Mar 14th, 2010 • Category: Reviews

I have been really looking forward to the movie ‘Black Dynamite’ for quite a while. Now, I’m not old enough to have seen blacksploitation films when they were being made. I have read about many of them and enjoy checking out clips and trailers from them, one of the most famous being ‘Blacula.’ [...]



Something I thought I would never do – defend the Oscars

By Derek • Mar 8th, 2010 • Category: The Literary Thunderdome

If you haven’t listened to the last Sprock-Talk it might not be a bad idea to listen to it here before going further with this post.  It will give you a basis on my thoughts on the Oscars, in particular this year.
Personally, I don’t care for the Oscars.  I don’t really enjoy watching them, I [...]

By DS • Mar 6th, 2010 • Category: Reviews

On our way to go see ‘The Crazies,’ Matt and I reviewed two recent animated movies, ‘Planet Hulk’ and ‘Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.’ Check out our thoughts on both movies and you can decide for yourself who is right. (Hint, hint: it’s me)
