The Gobeski/Wallace Report Podcast

It's about time we spent an episode discussing what's going to feature in future episodes! We drop all sorts of hints about what we think episode 200 might bring, but we also find time to explain the past as well. Brianne comes back to the show to tell us about her experiences doing live theater during a pandemic, Charlie watches films online by himself (but not in a creepy way), and Adam outlines...

Installment 57 of our Merry Marvel Movie March sends us off to sentient planets and down Zune rabbitholes with the 2017 sequel "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2". Does the movie try too hard or just the right amount of hard? We discover the exact strata of 70's pop music that Doug knows. And speaking of music, we've finally got another contender in our Merry Marvel Movie March Song-Off!

Even though there's no movie to review this week, we do manage to come up with a streaming platform with a flawless business model. Adam continues to not be homeless. Charlie continues to find ways to monetize his child via the entertainment industry. And Paul just continues (which is a good thing). Plus, Pandemic Movie Roulette!

We embrace a movie that actually provides closure in the 52nd installment of our Merry Marvel Movie March, the 2017 western homage "Logan". We discuss good clones and bad clones, James Mangold's obsession with death, and annoying fences. Which character would be most likely to survive a pandemic? We all give ratings at the end, but one of us HASN'T EVEN FINISHED THE MOVIE!

Rather than rehash old times, Adam, Charlie, Alex and John talk about the NEW times we live in. What have we all been doing after one year of the pandemic? Are John's kids smart enough to deserve breakfast? Why would ANYONE want a "smart" TV?And if you've been craving the awkwardness of Charlie singing songs about Instagram, this episode will sate your hunger.

We round out Merry Marvel Movie March Madness with the mind-bending visuals of 2016's "Doctor Strange". Between the actors and the magical spells, we can definitely say that this movie has great casting! But we want more Rachel McAdams! And Mads Mikkelsen! But the movie shouldn't be any longer and please don't cut anything! Maybe just run it at 2x speed? Doctor Strange has the Eye of Agamotto, so...

Merry Marvel Movie March Madness is moving along at a brisk pace, unlike the 2016 film "X-Men Apocalypse". But it is undeniably set in 1983, that is for sure. We spend more time talking about Apocalypse's poor engineering design than the rest of the movie. Charlie takes issue with... pretty much everything. Adam takes issue with Charlie taking issue with pretty much everything. Par for the course!

We kick off Marry Marvel Movie March Madness with the 2016 blockbuster "Captain America: Civil War". Despite Adam's best efforts, the gang reviews the movie without so much as one violent outburst. We spend most of the time talking about individual characters, including Gi-Ant Man. But do we appreciate that the film calls into question our enjoyment of the carnage in previous films? Are we consume...

Tony steps in as one of our hosts neglects to show up. The "Looks Team" of Tim Daly and Steven Weber talk about new revenue streams, specifically a reboot of their classic 90's sitcom "Wings". Adam, Tony Doug help pitch some ideas and attempt to help Tim with his financial troubles.

Our 52nd installment of our Merry Marvel Movie March is on the 2016 film "Deadpool", not 1988's "The Dead Pool", although you can be forgiven for making that mistake. Tony stews in silence for a while, and Adam gets Doug to change his score. But the real question - does it hold up after we've seen the sequel, and are simply huddled in our isolated bubbles instead of a raucous theater?

Did we just finish the first year of this year, or the last year of last year? Time is wrapping around on itself in episode 182. The future listener should probably just experience this as a unique time capsule of a very fraught time in these United States of America. Also we talk about Christmas presents, to restore some semblance of normalcy. And fan-favorite segment is banished from the podcast...

Coming right off off "Ant-Man", we've got the 2015 mess-of-a-film "Fant4stic" for our Merry Marvel Movie March. Is there anything redeemable here? Tony can't even appreciate a shirtless Miles Teller. Will exploding heads keep this from being our worst rated movie yet? Listen and find out (but you can skip the movie).

The Pandemic is still going, and so are we with the season 4 Christmas episode entitled "The Customer's Usually Right"! We are joined this holiday season by guests old and new. More confidence scams this episode than usual, but the normal amount of proselytizing. Paul takes too many notes and Adam has an existential crisis. Also: Wings!

Believe it or not, we've made it to installment 50 of our Merry Marvel Movie March! How better to celebrate than to discuss the 2015 heist-comedy "Ant-Man"? We praise Paul Rudd and, well, pretty much everything else about the movie. We talk more about Gregg Turkington than most would, but less than you'd probably expect from us. Charlie is pretty psyched that the plot-hinging device actually IS fo...

Installment 49 of our Merry Marvel Movie March brings us to the apex of Phase 2, with 2014's "Avengers: Age of Ultron". While Ultron's evil plan may not have been feasible, we have fun watching and discussing this somewhat disposable Marvel outing. We talk about all of the new characters, even the ones that don't survive! And what moment took Doug "out" of the movie for a full 20 minutes? Charlie...

Halloween has already gone by, but don't worry - we've got a Halloween episode for you anyway! Charlie creates a potentially dangerous treat at Adam's behest. We recall the scary movies that traumatized us most as children (and beyond). And we talk at length with Alex about "The X-Files" and, you guessed it: reuben smoothies.

We're back to the Merry Marvel Movie March with more stylized violence in 2015's "Kingsman: The Secret Service", from a lot of the same people who brought us "Kick-Ass"! Between Taron Egerton and the threat of traumatic dog deaths, Tony has a lot to say. And as with all movies, Charlie had some problems with this - but was it enough to ruin his rating?

Fifty more episodes gone by means we've got to get rid of this backlog of tags! They are simply taking up TOO MUCH SPACE, and as usual, that works in your favor. And did I hear you say that you want MORE birthday-related podcast material? Well, buckle up; it's our most beautiful tag show yet!

We get back to our Merry Marvel Movie March with our first animated feature, "Big Hero 6". Of course, we've got a lot of snacks to get through first! Paul introduces his niece with some meat-flavored chips. Doug and Wes accidentally reveal their intense self-loathing. And is this the first movie in the March where doing evil is ultimately justified...?

So is it a little self-indulgent to discuss two movies you probably haven't seen? Maybe, but if nothing else this episode should INSPIRE you to watch 1955's influential noir thriller "Kiss Me Deadly" and the 1973 German two-part TV miniseries "World on a Wire". After all, you should be used to us talking at-length about our birthday gifts. This episode is the logical endpoint of the precedent we s...

Just Adam and Charlie this time, and now that our birthdays have long since passed, we're finally able to update you about our hauls! And we get real about how COVID is affecting our lives. To balance out the gravity of the episode, Adam saturates a breakfast churro with milk.

Tony and Paul gather a ragtag group of miscreants to talk about the 2014 blockbuster "Guardians of the Galaxy" for installment 46 of our Merry Marvel Movie March. It's not our first time talking about this movie for the podcast, but we've accumulated enough experience and wisdom in the intervening years to make this outing unique. But watch out: our very special guest attempts to blow up our entir...

Everyone brings topics (but sadly not topix) to discuss. Paul finishes up his thread about "Cabin Boy", for now. Doug talks up a video game he doesn't really like. Charlie brings more Cruz News than he was anticipating. And only one thing can coax Adam out of his home and into the wasteland that is Arizona during the pandemic - the Criterion Sale!

Wolverine once again gets the star treatment in the 45th installment of our Merry Marvel Movie March, the 2014 film "X-Men: Days of Future Past". We discuss the merits of this movie's time travel mechanic, Tricky Dick, and our favorite cameos. Plus, we've watched "The Rogue Cut" to evaluate whether cutting out an entire character from the film made it better.

Now that we're in the Age of Zoom, we can get as many people on the line as we like. And since celebrities are housebound, they have nothing better to do than talk with us! At least that's true for Shaun White, Frankie Muniz and his brother Cisco. Wait, Frankie has a brother? I guess he never said he DIDN'T have a brother. Well, it's canon now!
