Mid-Life Crisis Task Force

Nothing ever stays the same and that is true of music, as well. Over the years, the artists we grew up with grow and change. But is it always for the better?

Come along as we watch Vicious Lips (1986) for the first time!  Highly encouraged if you plan to watch this film. It needs all the help it can get!!! Amazon Prime link. Also available to YouTube , but you'll need to skip forward a few seconds in the commentary.

For our latest foray into bad movies, we take on Albert Pyun's 1986 (although not released on video until 2013) film Vicious Lips, about a "rock" band in outer space. We think. Seriously, this one hurt.  https://youtu.be/fWqSdVHeq5s

Welcome to our guests, Kathryn & Elizabeth, from The Binary System Podcast! In this episode, we discuss the recently announced slate of DC Cinematic Universe properties dreamed up by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Will DC finally catch up to Marvel?

We discuss what movies/shows we've been watching and what music we've listen to recently. And we say goodbye to David Crosby. Some links to some of our musical suggestion if you're interested: Carson McGee  Reina del Cid Daniel Donato

Our commentary/riff track for the 1974 thriller The Mutations aka The Freakmaker, starring Donald Pleasance and Tom Baker (yes, THAT Tom Baker). Watch along at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00DG45EMG/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r https://youtu.be/uxrtNhqAYNg

For our newest Trash for the Masses, we take on a little British film from 1974 starring Donald Pleasance and Tom Baker. Yeah, THAT Tom Baker!

Pancho & Lefty discuss the recent trend of remaking older movies vs coming up with original ones. Is Hollywood running out of ideas?

Listen along as we watch and make fun of, Hallmark's The Christmas Shoes!  Available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/3YH_vgE9B8o

"The Christmas Shoes" was voted worst Christmas song of all time by Jezebel.com, so of course Hallmark made a film out of it! Starring Rob Lowe and Kimberly Williams, it'll tug at your heart strings, or at least trigger your gag reflex.

This one is a departure from our normal fare.  We begin by talking about technology and social media, but start to delve into politics and how the three are intertwined. We hope you enjoy!

In the first of a series in which we discuss good movies, we take an in-depth analysis of director Fritz Lang's 1931 film M. A masterpiece of German Expressionist cinema that still holds up today from the directory and writer (Thea von Harbou) that brought you Metropolis. SPOILER WARNING!!!! We go into the story and plot lines of this film, so we highly encourage you to watch it before listening t...

With Rando out of town, Pancho & Lefty sit down to discuss their musical tastes, the recording industry, and how listening to music has changed over the years.  (This episode was recorded before the Spooky Halloween music episode from two weeks ago.)

Pancho & Lefty discuss music appropriate for the Halloween season, from heavy metal favorites like Blue Oyster Cult and Black Sabbath to the traditions of the murder ballad in Country and Americana.

With Halloween coming, we discuss horror movies: what makes a good one and which ones are our favorites. 

Join as we watch and react to The Manster for the first time! This was recorded prior to our discussion what was featured in last week's Trash for the Masses episode.

This is the first our Trash for the Masses series in which we watch and review bad movies and such. Today, we discuss the 1959 classic(?) The Manster.

In this episode, we discuss the midnight movie. What is it? What constitutes one? Which ones have we seen (or not seen)?

In this episode, we left the proverbial tape running after recording our previous episode and discussed movies in general and how the industry and the movie watching experience has changed post-pandemic, along with some other topics. At times a bit unfocused, but we thought it interesting enough to share. 

The Mid-Life Crisis Taskforce returns!! Meet the guys in this re-introductory episode. This episode is also available as a blog post: http://mlctaskforce.com/2022/08/11/were-back/
