Podcasts – The SomethingSomethingCast

JAAAAACK…. ROOOOOOSE… INEVITABLE HUBRIS OF HUMANITY FOR A CASH-IN SEEEEQUEL! That’s right. The Titanic is setting sail again, and this time nothing could go wrong! We have technology and hindsight guaranteeing it will be — what? Global warming? Oh, sunuva… So get below decks and join the Somethings as we journey around the Arctic Circle looking for fun and love in the...

Another week – another elevator – another big time CEO with a big check – it’s like we’re on a rotating schedule. If only we could go back before…. AND WE CAN! This week, we are pitching movie Prequels – stories before the story – and who is our guest CEO? It’s none other than  Gutting The Sacred Cow host, stand-up, and friend of the Somethings...

Not all shows are created equal. Some shows are brilliant and stay that way throughout. Others go out into the woods to become lumberjacks. This week we are taking it to the dark passenger and his damp serial killer, Dexter Morgan. When it all began, was it good? Does it hold up? What did we notice this time that we never noticed before? Lastly, is it worth going back to? So follow the Somethings...

Comedy Central wasn’t the first people to do roasts.. the celebrity roast is a time honored tradition that goes back to a time when there were only four celebrities, so they each took turns making fun of each other. Well, nowadays, everyone is a celebrity and we can make fun of them forever. So join the Somethings as we look back at some of the best single lines from roasts. From the roaster...

For the first time in 2024 we have a 5 week month – and we’re taking another thing we did and putting it here so we don’t do it that much because we do one of those things a lot more.  Make sense? You don’t care, it’s fine. So we have The Wheel out of mothballs and that means we are spinning it to a topic which leads us to the wacky world of Marvel Mutants. The X-Movi...

A scattered group of people all feel a pull to go to one place. They travel by car, plane, sneaker, and bicycle like some sort of dystopian It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World all to reveal what has happened to a world on the brink of devastation. Do not miss the Amy Dolenz vehicle, and our review of:  1-Star Movie Review: 2012 Doomsday Now, are you the type of person that wants to see the movie af...

In a post-Lost world, a lot of television shows came through the lens flaired hands of J.J. Abrams on his journey to screwing up Star Trek and leaving the bones of Star Wars to bleach in the pretty, yet confusing red sand. Fringe may be the show he is lauded for the least, but is that the way it should be? A mix between X-Files and a procedural, Fringe gave us 5 seasons… but how did it begin...

It’s time again for the Somethings to head to Big Money Tower – what are we pitching this time? THEME RESTAURANTS.. and no, we don’t mean we’re going to put local sports teams on the wall and random bric-a-brac we found at the thrift. We’re going all out with full immersion experiences looking for that big check. And who is providing the big check this week? Well, non...

We’re back! It’s been a bit since we had a new episode for you – besides the special PAX episodes… and the Christmas Party… ok, look, even when we take a break we’re on break with mics in our hand. That said, we have returned to our regularly scheduled Something with our mostly yearly round-up of some of the stories that took the year by storm – and by sto...

Ending the year with our favorite episode – it was a unanimous decision. Both Rob and James get together and invent their own new television show.. where the prizes are weird and the reasons are stupid. It is hands down our favorite from the year, so we’ll see you next week with something new – but until then, enjoy and Happy New Year! Original Post: The Wheel is back, and it&#82...

What’s the best thing about the holiday season? Is it snow? Well I hope you’re having a White Christmas and settle in as we discuss the delicious white gold of a bear going nuts on narcotics. Merry Blowmas… Original Post Every now and then, a movie comes out that’s “Based On Actual Events”.  “The Courier” comes to mind, as does “Eight Men Out&#...

WHAT’S THIS! A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE! By Tiny Tim’s Little Crutches, it’s a Christmas Miracle! It’s also what we do every year,  but that doesn’t matter , it’s NEW SOMETHING STUFF… So who is joining us in for our giant glass of Nog and talking Christmas fun?  Why it is the collection of wonderful personage we’ve become friends with on our podcasting jou...

Back with another Best of – we brought in Something Bestie, Tim ‘Ungajje’ Stevens, to discuss some of the moments in cinema that make you stand up and clap. It’s a great one, enjoy… Original post: What is a ‘pop’? In professional wrestling terms, it’s the moment the crowd goes nuts. Maybe they’re cheering – maybe they’re booing, but...

Music fills our lives.. sadly, not all of it was created equal. The Somethings are heading into the deep end of the pool of ‘things we dislike’ as our next Best Of is Bottom 5: Songs… Original Post:  Mmmm Bop, crappy songs ahh doo wop, a-zig-a-zig-ahhhh We’ve done tons of favorite things. You guys are sick of the things we like, so how about the Wheel give us a little bit o...

Ach! The Somethings have done their share of voices.. well, so have actors, and in some cases, we would prefer to listen to our own.  Enjoy the Somethings mocking bad movie accents in this weeks best of! Enjoy! Original Post:  SAY E’LLO TO OUR LIT’LE PODCAST! And unlike the picture perfect Pacino accent that previous sentence was written in, sometimes a movie can pull you right out whe...

Surprise number two!  The Somethings went to PAX: UNPLUGGED and put on their best nerd swag and rolled dice for two days.  Well, along the way, we got a chance to do some interviews too! As promised, here are our interviews with Vaikin Kansepts, Meredith Placko, and Gamey – and we thank them tremendously for the time they gave us in a place where every person is vying for their time. One not...

Not every movie is made equal, and some are made mighty unequal by the replacement of a key character.. we sat with friend Cthulu’s Prodigy and discussed. Enjoy! Original Post:  It has to be hard to make a sequel to a movie. Aside from trying to recapture the magic of the first one, you have to get this legion of performers to come back and find a perfect time where they aren’t working...

Oh, the Somethings actually went somewhere.. that’s right, they made their triumphant return to PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia – why? Because we’re a bunch of board game nerds, we take December off so we didn’t have to record anything. And yet, live in our hotel room, we  did record something. Our tale of lines and games, interviews and fun, games and friends live from the c...

It’s Podcast Rob’s turn with a Best of, and this is the first (but not the last) visit to the Wheel. Isn’t it weird that we get the best content out of when we really dislike something? See you next time! Original Post:  Look, you can’t like everyone. It’s just impossible. I’m sure there’s at least one person out there in the universe that throws darts at...

As is tradition, the Somethings are taking December off.  That does not mean you aren’t getting Something Eps.. in fact, you are getting twice the amount of Something as we go through and list off our favorite episodes of the year on Mondays and Fridays. So settle in as we dive into some of the good times we had, and make sure you stick around for some surprises along the way. Happy Holidays...

Tis the season!  And, by season, we obviously mean tornado season.. what other season could I have meant?!  You see due to global warming, there is a chance we are looking at out-of-nowhere tornadoes that can just hit the ground and send us packing. So join us on this whirlwind of a holiday season and visit the harrowing journey of one family as a half dozen or so tornadoes seem to follow them whe...

One of the great things about doing  In The Beginning is that we get a chance to look at some stuff that was super popular, but doesn’t really reach the lofty goals of a multiple season blah blah..  so we can even take on the classics of the 80s – the TV Miniseries. So why don’t we start that idea with one of the biggest and most well known in a little story about the aliens land...

What was your toy?  Did you play with M.U.S.C.L.E.S or Stretch Armstrong? Were you a Lite-Brite kid or maybe you had a slinky but you straightened it.  Whatever your particular pet rock was, there is some toy that you remember from your childhood that is no longer with us. Maybe because it just wasn’t that interesting or maybe because it was horrendously dangerous. Well, the Somethings are b...

You’ve done it. You find something you enjoy on Monday, you blink, and it’s August. Maybe it’s a show.. maybe it’s a website.. maybe it’s learning how to translate Etruscan. The fact is, we have all fallen down our share of rabbit holes that suck our life away for good or for ill. This week, Hatton and Rob will be talking some of the entertaining things they have foun...

With the last Tuesday, a spooky 5th Tuesday, we interrupt our normal ‘Whatever the hell we do on the extra week’ and replace it with a NEW thing we do on the extra week, but we replace THAT with something that’s much more Halloweeny since this also is that day so really it’s sort of just an In Review week, but under a different name, but … ARE YOU SCARED?! So let&#821...
