The Gobeski/Wallace Report Podcast

Skype is deceased, but we don't let that get us down! We've got plenty of taste tests to drown our sorrows. Doug and Charlie recount an instance where they saw each other in REAL SPACE. We kick off our "2000 from the 2000's" playlist.

Paul and Tony went on a cruise and are still recovering from the excessive food, karaoke and impromptu prank war. How are two boys at sea supposed to manage when their hangovers don't line up? Paul is almost lost to Honduras. Tony buys a magnet.

We regret to inform the listener that we are no longer a "SeaQuest DSV" podcast; we are now a retro gaming podcast. We also regret that only some of us are playing retro games at the moment. Adam regrets not going into debt to obtain an old gaming console. Charlie is warned about the heavy metal content of some chips but eats them anyway.

We have an unexpected guest who isn't pulling any punches. Charlie eats some Easter candy and then ruins it for everyone's amusement. Doug puts tax cheats on notice. Plus, what's in store for James Bond?

The 17th installment of our Sci-Fi Shuffle has us discussing the 2023 animated film "Nimona". We try to imagine what this movie would have been like if it had stayed in the cowardly hands of Disney. Why doesn't anyone fully utilize their flying cars, and how does eveyone know what a whale is? Also, some less pedantic discussion about LGBTQ themes and representation. Paul wishes the Jumbo-tron had...

Special guests appear and are EXTREMELY ENTHUSIASTIC about being on the show. In fact, both have new lines of fight sticks to promote, with multiple face plate designs and button configurations! Taste tests are interspersed. We all are hired by SNL by default.

Amber Elby and Dan Hess are back on the 16th edition of our Sci-Fi Shuffle to talk about the 2008 film "V for Vendetta", along with the usual cast of characters. Of course, we have to start the discussion arguing whether this even QUALIFIES as sci-fi. The movie makes us all feel bad, despite the sweet-ass kills. But don't let that stop you from watching it - just temporarily deny the existence of...

Charlie laments his lack of knot knowledge. We taste test a puzzling new Doritos flavor. We round out the episode out by recounting our pandemic cabin fever purchases and mourning Charlie's nemesis (David Lynch).

We've got more holidays to discuss than you might expect, although this makes Kevin uncomfortable. Adam is combative with Charlie and his Christmas haul. We discover a new category of candy (log). We fail at our New Year's resolutions immediately.

It's the end of 2024, so of course we talk about a holiday that was over a month ago. Doug and Adam do some taste tests and we all ponder what spoiled Code Red would taste like. Adam talks about the advantages and disadvantages of mascot life.

Santa has amnesia and is stealing Christmas. It's up to Rude Elf to jog Santa's memory, while also hiding Santa's true identity from Santwo! It's less a question of WHETHER Christmas will be ruined than HOW. And how many sacks is too many?

More Sci-Fi Shuffle this week with 1927's silent classic "Metropolis" with guest Amber Elby! She talks about why this movie made her incapable of a bathroom break and why she is glad she didn't have to discuss the most recent version with her students (but she still has to with us). We also get into which jobs would be better as mini-games, which streaming service we presume this movie is on and w...

If you thought the idea of Kirby feet was disturbing, you clearly haven't investigated all 3D printing has to offer. Adam offers to be a parent to Charlie's children after his inevitable demise. Paul and Tony talk about their upcoming cruise, but we fail to capitalize and do a "Cruise Tips" segment.

Charlie pulls executive privilege and allows Kara to nominate 1997's "Event Horizon" as this week's Sci-Fi Shuffle movie. We talk eerie sets, nightmarish editing timelines and doors that probably should have cut someone in half. What scares us more - being sucked into the bowels of Hell through an interdimensional portal, or the Washington red-tape holding back our service members? And of course,...

We debut a new segment - The GW Confection Connection! It's basically a segment we do all the time, with a slightly different title! Charlie recounts being outmatched at SporcleCon. Kevin has rodent problems and perhaps Paul is being stalked by a roofer. Adam has perfected AI but luckily is not out of a job (yet).

Sci-Fi September comes to a close with the 13th installment of our Sci-Fi Shuffle, as we are pleasantly subjected to Doug's pick - 1984's "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". It's animated, and it's sci-fi, so it's gonna be weird. But is it TOO weird for Kevin? Will the movie allow Doug to witness the destruction he craves? And will Adam ever let Paul unleash his flawless Japanese pronunciation?

In the 12th installment of our Sci-Fi Shuffle, Charlie has us watch his ostensibly favorite movie of all time - "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". We fail to find any deeper meaning or themes in this film so we mostly discuss what we liked! Adam can't remember which is Bill and which is Ted (but who can?). Who is YOUR favorite historical figure?

We revisit Wakanda in the 80th installment of our Merry Marvel Movie March - 2022's "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever". The film addresses the untimely passing of Chadwick Boseman who MOST OF US think is irreplaceable. Why do all the characters insist on mispronouncing the villain's name? How many fights is too many fights? And we discuss what we thought of MCU Phase 4, aka the COVID Phase.

Another Shenaniganza, this time in Marina! Between Bass Fishing, Vampire Survivors, and Among Us, the Shenaniganzers manage to get some actual sightseeing done - including a trip to a popular Star Trek filming location. Dotty is gassy and Tony isn't much to look at. Paul gets stopped by customs AGAIN. Brianne is attacked by a timepiece.

While this episode is ostensibly about The Recounting of the June Birthday Gifts, it secretly revolves around Doug's crankery. He puts a small bakery on blast, and calls out a restaurant for tax malfeasance. No eatery is safe when Doug is on the case!

We thought Tony Huff wouldn't show up this time, but he drove at unsafe speeds and BAC levels to make the recording! Alex Clark also arrives with wholly original commentary about AI-generated commentary. Adam wins something yet again, but this time he has an award to show for it. Charlie enacts another Edgar Allen Poe story with squirrels.

They said we couldn't review another "Dark" movie, but we sure showed THEM! The Sci-Fi Shuffle returns as we discuss the 1998 film "Dark City". Dan Hess isn't really sure Rufus Sewell is the protagonist, and the rest of us aren't sure he isn't Jude Law. We can all agree that the baddies in this one are bad at science and evil plan-making (and that pale children who bite are creepy).

Another cancellation is threatening to disrupt the podcast... and failing! Welcome to the first annual (for now) Campbellushi Day! Whether you love Bruce Campbell or would rather hang with Jim Belushi, we've got something for everyone! We've got transcript readings, June celebrity birthdays and way more A.I. art than is advisable in an audio format. And oh yeah, we've got COVID!

We're back and Thor is back and Jane Foster is back and it's all back again with the 79th installment of our Merry Marvel Movie March - "Thor: Love and Thunder"! But lest you think we talk too much about the film, we've got several chip tastings, sing-a-songs and some Star Trek asides. So a little bit of everything that makes the Gobeski/Wallace Report great!

TAYLOR SWIFT RELEASED A NEW ALBUM and it's FINE!!! Most of us have at least half-listened to it and demand that you hear us out. Doug tries old Mr. Beast and new Mr. Beast bars. And have you ever wondered how Keanu Reeves would taste in liquid form?
