Bald Move Pulp

Last Crusade was an excellent sendoff, so when this movie hit the big screen, people had things to say. Fourteen years later, Jim and A.Ron are here to share takes that are still scorching hot. Spielberg and Lucas, bastions of movie magic, sparred during production…and it shows. Indiana and his crew uncover more alien activity than Area 51 and survive a Chet Hanks cameo. Climb into your emergency...

It’s exactly what you think it will be, and for some, that’s a good thing! Thirteen years ago, Cameron astonished the world and gave us a cultural phenomenon. Now it’s time to travel back to Pandora and journey with the Na’vi. Even though they’re blue cat-people, the family drama is relatable. Some parts feel copied and pasted from the first movie, but there’s plenty of fun action to distract you...

All December long Jim and A.Ron will be bringing you First Rum Christmas! Settle in because your favorite hosts have an advent calendar of rum and some great Christmas movies to discuss.

Welcome back survivors to the most loyal podcast to The Walking Dead. You’ve almost made it to the end. The final episode is upon us. This show died the way it lived; it was loud, the fights were over the top, and zombie guts were spilled. Overall, it was a mostly satisfying conclusion to a roller coaster of a series. Rest in piss, The Walking Dead. You’ve made it this far, what are your final tho...

As more character backstories are revealed, we get some questions answered. But don’t worry, we still have plenty of questions and theories to discuss. Have these people been experimented on? Are you, the audience, being experimented on? Is the mind a prison? Or is the mind imprisoned? What else floats out there on the vast ocean?  If you’re a Club Member, check out this past episode on Dark S01....

Inexplicable. Creepy. Foggy. Bodies keep piling up, factions are formed, and Jim still hasn’t noticed the triangle pupils. Are these vanishing cabinets? Is everyone dead? What happened to these people? We may not know what’s going on, but count us entertained! If you’re a Club Member, check out this past episode on Dark S01. We’ll have a feedback roundup at the END of our coverage. Send it to pulp...

We're one episode away from the end. Somehow it feels like the show is dragging its feet but in other ways it feels like it's moving too fast for its own good.

A big thank you to Mysteriana for creating the Watching Dead theme music. Find all of their music at MysterianaMusic.com Check out https:/...

The awesome presence of Chadwick Boseman is definitely missed, but don’t let that get you too down! Marvel produces yet another gem (or Infinity Stone, ha ha) for their catalog. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is an action-packed movie that also explores delicate levels of grief AND delivers on great CGI. The astounding performances from Angela Bassett, Letitia Wright, and Lupita Nyong’o will have...

Kim Renfro, entertainment reporter for Insider and co-host of A Cast of Kings joins A.Ron to talk about the book reader perspective on this season of HOTD. We talk the impact of the Song of Ice and Fire prophecy on the show and how it might connect with the other GOT spinoff series, compare notes on what it's like to be the book reader with a non-reader co-host, discuss GRRM finishing the books an...

All rise for the honorable judges A.Ron and Jim. Eugene, minus the bolo tie, is on trial. The charges? Lot’s of bad stuff. But the real thing on trial today is this show. Our faith in a satisfying ending is shaken. But can the entertaining moments redeem a potentially disastrous episode?  Hopes, dreams, nightmares about TWD? Send them in to watchingdead@baldmove.com. A big thank you to Mysteriana...

It was a tale of two houses, one Green and the other Black. To our delight, the GOT universe made a triumphant return to the small screen. From enormous time jumps, rotating cast members, and a great expansion on lore, I think we can agree the season pulled off some impressive plays. As we eagerly await the next season, let's dive back into the first once again. Get your final thoughts in for the...

The last episodes are upon us. We got some really great questions and some critical, but deserved, feedback. Let’s dive in! You’ve heard of Hot Girl Summer, what about Hot Zombie Summer? The flies are killer. How many spinoffs are still in the running? And are we going to see some characters in Europe?  Hopes, dreams, nightmares about TWD? Send them in to watchingdead@baldmove.com. A big thank you...

The show is still staggering on. You saw a slick heist in Ocean’s 11, now get ready for a heist that’s nothing like that. And remember that motorcycle chase from The Great Escape? Try to forget you ever saw that cool thing before watching this episode. What is really keeping us on the edge of our seats is trying to figure out which kid is doing the voice over.   Hopes, dreams, nightmares about TWD...

Now that the first season is in the rear view, let’s talk about it! Should you read the books? Who took the first shot in this war? Were the Targaryens always fated to fight? Can a rider breathe at dragon cruising altitude? Is Aemond a warrior or idiot kid who can’t control his emotions? King Jimhaerys and Ser A.Ron are here to impart their wisdom.  We’ll have a HOTD wrapup episode out next week! ...

War is coming to Westeros. Queen Rhaenyra does her best to prevent a schism in the kingdom. It’s not easy when your husband is Daemon.

What has been lost? The characters' humanity. What has been found? Several knives. Feral Daryl has some great line readings for you. There’s no law and order in this world, just random shout outs to thoracic surgeons. Why do we have a shout out to a thoracic surgeon? No reason maybe. And do NOT think of the children. Don’t you dare. Hopes, dreams, nightmares about TWD? Send them in to watchingdead...

Ok. Um, ok. Here we go. DC hasn’t quite cracked the Marvel formula for making fun movies. It begs the question, can the most charismatic man on the planet pull off DC’s latest deep cut? Black Adam owes some copyright fines to all those superheroes that you actually like. It’s not great, but it bolsters the Rock’s standing in the Bald Move Badass Hall of Fame…so there’s that!   Keep watch for the n...

It is the hour of the owl and foul deeds are afoot. Should Rhaenyra abdicate and save the realm from bloodshed? Even if that leaves the realm in the hands of (gulp)...Aegon? Was the dragon the only beast beneath the boards? King Jimhaerys and the leal Ser A.Ron are here to answer those questions and possibly yuck your yum.  Want to represent Team HOTD?
