Johnny Blaze is the Spirit of Vengence.

We have a guest host today as we discuss the new film Ghost Rider.

Another Pubcast, this one seemed to have a better sound than some of our previous ventures.

We also chat about some of other comic book based movies that Marvel has coming out in the next year or so.

Somehow we also pull the conversation back from ending the show to a discussion about this weekend's Oscars.

Don't forget to check back here this weekend for my pick for the Best Picture Oscar after I spend all day Saturday watching the five nominated films... all five... one day... bucket after bucket of popcorn and soda.

We also make the announcement official and discuss the changes that are going to be coming to the podcast and the feed.

Join in on the conversation!

Happy Valentine's Day

We talk today about Valentine's Day and movies in that special Fanboy Smackdown kinda way.

Also, Check out the first Chapter of Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword.  It's available NOW.

 

Lazy for now... Update coming soon.

Another solo show this week, but full of a random assortment of things.

This show features all four of my Pickle Tales submissions.

We have another promo for Tee Morris' Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword.

I do a book review of Rush and the Grey Fox by Jon Klement.

The Super Bowl is this weekend and we take the opportunity to discuss Football movies.

I woefully neglected Wildcats, but otherwise I think we hit on most of the stereotypical football/sport films that we've seen.

We talk about Scott Sigler's 'The Rookie'.

Promo:  The Ranting Scotsman Podcast

Promo:  Billibub Baddings and The Case of The Singing Sword

Stu checks in with a voice mail and we get into a longish discussion about Sci-Fi on television before pimping the action on the comments section of the site.

We talk up Pickle Tales, which is about to enter its final round.  Good luck, Laurence and Phil!

Promo: Pickle Tales

Quick notes..

We share our experience of seeing Rocky Balboa on opening night.

Again, we record from the bar.  Be sure to listen to the whole show, there is a bit of news at the end regarding a few of the upcoming episodes.

Sorry for the lateness of this one.

Show notes to follow later this evening.

Hey all!

This is a great one.  We have a very special guest for this episode.  And if you listened to the last one, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out who it is, considering we recorded this one immediately before the last one.

Today we discuss United 93.  This one caused a bit of division between us and we bring up topics that could be open for debate.

Please let us know what you think of the show and if you have any suggestions for us now that the prodigal has returned... at least until there is another water main break (dear God, we hope not.)

Also... we noticed after the fact that we didn't edit out a considerable portion of dead air.... and we just might leave it in there...  or we'll get the Genie in to fix things.

You guys know all the ways to get ahold of us.

Lazy show notes, but what do we care... the Redbirds are flying to Detroit.

We geek-out over baseball movies for this special episode!

Yep, that voice is who you think it is... it's not a dream, it's not a hoax.  He's back!

We were going to release the first show we recorded this week, but this one is so much more timely that it just has to go up this week... because next week it might be over, one way or another.

Forgive us this indulgence... or don't...

Hmmm... I wonder if the boss will be upset if I dye the van dyke red.

Tony and Julie discuss Wedding movies.

These would be the show notes that will get expanin

Another show flying solo... but this time with lots of extra voices mixed in.

This one is very different from our regular episodes.

If this is your first time listening to the show, check out a different episode...  this one is personal and very meaningful.

We will return to "normal" (or as normal we get around here) next week.

Thanks for listening!

Crazy busy-ness here at the Smackdown Studios.

I attempted to record an episode last night but between faulty equipment(setup) and faulty voice (too much screaming at the Queensryche concert).  What I recorded wasn't worth listening to.

I'll get a show up before tomorrow morning.

Have a great Friday!

This week it's all about the wild, wacky stuff that celebrities do in their private lives.  Whether it's drug frenzies, drunken rants, flipping your car, showing up late to the set after a night of partying, dumping your husband or wife for you new co-host or jumpin' on Oprah's couch... we look at all of the things that Actors do to make themselves stand out even more.

We discuss how the things that the actors do off screen affects our movie-going habits.

We also mention www.gofugyourself.com, one of Julie's many go-to sites for celebrity gossip.

We wrap the show with a Voice Mail from Ed from Texas where he credits Julie with pointing him toward what he's a sucker for.

Don't forget, we've got our new message board over at www.powerupgamers.com.

We just added a Frapper Map at www.frappr.com/fanboysmackdownfriends

We also still have all of the old ways of getting us:

Episode 13 and so far nothing unlucky going on with this one.

This week we have a special guest host joining the show.  One of the Tonys is tied up with work and couldn't get a few free minutes to record, so my lovely wife Julie stepped up to the mic and gave this little show a bit of a womanly touch... lord knows we could use it.

We use this episode to discuss the voicemail that Dani sent us last week.

We also have some answers to the question that were provided by Chris from Two Girls and a Podcast, Jeremy and Darren.

We also have word on how to sign up for the Fanboy Smackdown forums over at www.powerupgamers.com.

Sign up there and join in on one of the multitude of conversations that are active throughout the 'PUG' forum.

Warning:  This one is Not Safe For Work!

This week we talk about how your expectations frame your movie-going experience.

We also attend Snakes on a Plane.

We've got interviews, voicemail, and a discussion of all the other summer movies we saw this year.

All of the usual ways to get ahold of us apply.

Here we go, this one is all about the Aviator.

Lazy show notes this week as I'm about to head out for the weekend.  But here we go.

All this and another visit from the Genie.

You know all of the regular ways to get ahold of us...

Ok... so, Tony had to go out of town for the weekend, leaving the editing of this big next episode up to me.

Well... apparently, somewhere along the line the final segment has gone missing.

Now, I could release what we've got so far, but you would miss all of our witty commentary on the final voicemail that gets played as part of the podcsat.

Look for a new podcast on Monday or Tuesday.  And if all goes well, another one later in the week to get us back on track and giving you the Smackdown you've come to expect.

Tony

Well, we've got a bit of delay.

Storms ripped through the Metro St. Louis Area and did all kinds of fun things to the power lines.  Fortunately, both Tony's are safe, sound and have power, but one of us has a few other houseguests due to the power outages.

Check out the news here and here.

We've got a tasty little nugget here for you at the end.  Enjoy the new promo.

If all goes well, we'll be up and running again by the weekend.

Peace.

We expand our discussion of Superman Returns to include all of the spoilerific moments.

Please, if you don't want to to be spoiled to major plot points in the film, Do NOT listen to this until after you see Superman Returns.

The picture here is of myself with Noel Neill, the first woman to play Lois Lane in a live-action film... for the Serials, and she was also the Lois Lane in the Adventures of Superman television series from the second season until it's conclusion.

Feel free to leave us some feedback in any of the regular ways:

or reach us on Skype:  fanboysmackdown

Up, up, and away!

For this one we are going spoiler free.

We were out among the crazies... hell, we were the crazies.

Tony and Tony (and friends) attended the pre-opening night 10PM showing of Superman Returns.  You get to listen in to some edited discussion and interviews with folks as they leave the film.

Afterwards we sit down and have a discussion about our thoughts, one of us loved it, the other wanted more.

Keep in mind boys and girls... this is only part one of our Superman Returns coverage.  We'll be spoiling the hell out of this movie the next time we talk about it.  Cause goodness knows there a lot here that could be spoiled.

If you want to chime in on the movie before our next show, please get in touch with us:

Once again, special thanks to Wehrenberg Theaters!

We've had a slight glitch with the interview that was included with the podcast... basically, the podcast is done.  But if we release it 'as is', it will spoiler major parts of the movie.

Soooooo the edited podcast will hit sometime late tonight or early tomorrow.

Thanks again for your patience.

Tony

Yes, it's late.

Yes, it's out before the Episode 7.5 feedback show. (By about 45 minutes.)

Sure, we'll give you a full refund.  (Send your requests to getreal@youaregettingitforfreealready.dude)

Anywho, this time out we talk about the new Vinnifer Vaughniston movie, The Break-Up.

If the sound isn't quite right, I'll take the hit for that.  We are still experiencing technical difficulties, and I had to actually do some editing this time around instead of just typing out all of this info that you guys probably ignore anyway.

If all goes well, we should have 7.5 in the feed by Monday at the latest.  Until then, don't forget to send us your feedback, we will respond to it, and we might even post it when we respond to it if we can keep a stable outgoing internet connection on Tony's machine.

Thanks!

In this episode, Tony and Tony discuss Bourbon, Beer, props to dawgs, and a little film called The Da Vinci Code.

A movie was watched, interviews were conducted, protestors were searched for (fruitlessly), alcohol was consumed, and analysis was used to drown out the music in the background.

We were looking for someone with a dissenting opinion.  If you are of the other mind, please feel free to leave an email or a voice mail and tell us your side of the story.

Special thanks to Wehrenberg Theaters for allowing us to conduct interviews after the movie.

Today the Tonys (plus a special guest) talk about the Batman movies.  The discussion focuses on Batman (1989) and Batman Begins (2005), but we do also touch briefly on Batman: The Movie (1966) and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993).

Sorry for the delay in posting.  One Tony had it edited and ready to post in time, but the other Tony didn't link the file until this morning.

We have feedback that will be included in our next show, so if you want to be included in that give us a call at:

206-339-FBSD (3273)  - No excuses... use your cell phone or call from work!

or drop us an email at:

This time Tony and Tony take a peek at George Lucas' earlier (pre-Star Wars) films.

We discuss THX-1138 and American Graffiti and contrast his work in these films with those other movies he made later.

Don't forget to send us some feedback.  Let us know what you think of the show, our sound, or anything you might want us to take a swipe at in a later episode.
