So settle in, melt some butter, and let us teach you how nautical miles work.. or rather, correct how wrong we are about n...

Some movies are 5 Stars – Some movies are less… Well, it was inevitable that at least one of us was going to watch this – and so, because misery loves company, they made the other two and now we get to share this with you.

Welllllcome everybody to, yes, you are reading that correctly, a new 2025 episode of The SomethingSomethingcast.

What started 11 years ago in an apartment was two guys with two microphones wondering what to talk about. Now, 11 years, hundreds of episodes, dozens of guests, and an unending number of laughs later.. we end with two guys with microphones.

The year was 1995 – the world of videogame nerds was overtaken by the cinema masterpiece that was Mortal Kombat.  ..ok, fine, it wasn’t a masterpiece, but it was kinda badass. The year was 1997 – the world of videogame nerds realized something had gone horribly wrong and the movie studio was trying to cash-in on the IP and gave us Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. So now, what happens...

Well, this week we are taking a video game franchise and t...

We woke up this morning, had a blue moon in our eye.. like a big pizza pie, that’s amore’ — nevermind. This week on In The Beginning, the Somethings are stomping on their homeland of NJ and looking at the first episode of a landmark show in television, The Sopranos. This show may have started the cable television revolution, but does it hold up? Does the awareness of mental healt...

Somethings! If you’ve been listening for a long enough time, you are well aware that we have issues. Tons of them. Long boxes full of them. And when we get together and start talking, sometimes the best thing to do is just leave your issues on the table and talk them out. So join us as we each pick some of our favorite issues of comics. Some because they are shining moments of our favorite c...

Now, if you happen to want to see what we saw, you  could go to the Breen Collection  on Archive.org . I’m not saying you should… but you could. Matt, Rob and James sat down and watched the s...

It’s time to talk about the beginning of a show that many heralded as the next big thing, and it had its four seasons and went… but, was it a  Success? We are obviously discussing the journey of the Roy family and the control of RoyCo. A gaggle of children and relatives all battle it out for control of a billion dollar empire.

Sometimes the Somethings don’t want to podcast… they want to rock and roll all night, and party every day – but sometimes.. instead of even doing that, they want to go to an amusement park to see a band that may or may not live there and discover the secrets of the evil scientist that is building an army of robots. Oh, and also, the Somethings have magical powers in this situatio...

You  WERE this show… which apparently aired in 2005. Anyway, as the years went on, y...

Look, in the early 80s there were two ways to make a  ton of money… the first was a lot of cocaine. The second, which sometimes included the first, was to make something that people who were squinting may think they were watching something Star Wars related.
