Video Death Loop

This week we watched an old Wendy’s Training Video for Hot Drinks on loop and learned a LOT about making hot drinks (Again.) John forgot Aaron made him watch it back in Season 3 and he thought he was being clever. Now he has to make a choice and and the dimensions (And April) hangs… Read more S4:E24 – Wendy’s Training Video for Hot Drinks (Again)

Do you need drama in your drama program? What if we had an emergency trip to the hospital? What if we were the hospital. What if we had a bunch of emergencies every episode in the emergency room and that was the show?  I think we might just have a hit show from the 90s on our… Read more S4:E23 – “ER” TV Show Opening

In the late 80s, cereal ideas were already pretty dire, but that doesn’t mean anything if you have a dino pun ready to go!

Alexander Hamilton (Not pictured) is on a lot of people’s minds this week! That’s weird. Maybe something came out and people are into it but it definitely hasn’t hit our radars! The only way we know about the man who would become a Founding Father would be through this  “Got Milk?” commercial that played all… Read more S4:E21 – Alexander Hamilton “Go...

When you’re at the Sizzler, everyone is equal. It’s like socialism but with what more shrimp and sundaes. It’s a quiet revolution sweeping the nation but maybe it could be sweeping through Time as well?! Only Sizzler and the Epsilon Project Protocol know for certain! Come be a part of our family in any time! Any… Read more S4:E20 – Sizzler Promotional Commercial

We were kind of obsessed with giving kids things that could be used as weapons in a pinch! Baseball bats? Great, you’re already there! Scooter? Hey, you can twist that thing around and do a sick kickflip on someone’s face! A Yo-yo? I played Startropics, I know those things can do damage! And the Skip… Read more S4:E19 – Skip It! Toy Commercial

Gull wing doors! They go up and down, not to the side! It’s the future! And also, I think it was in some movie in the 80s. It’s the DeLorean and it’s at your local CostCo! How did it get there? Why is it matte black instead of the normal stainless steel aluminum design? Who… Read more S4:E18 – Original 1981 DeLorean TV Commercial

Hey, did you come here because you saw the PS5 Reveal Trailer earlier? You did, didn’t you? I knew it! You saw that Deathloop game (Which looks very good, I don’t blame you!), decided to search for it and you found this podcast instead! Sorry! But while you’re here, we watched the PS5 Reveal on… Read more S4:E17 – Playstation 5 Hardware Reveal Trailer

Did you realize the Game Boy Camera solved all your problems? No? Well, that’s because you were probably one of those poor saps playing Pokemon or Tetris or whatever “fad” was happening at the time. The Game Boy camera is real! It has your face in it! Or your dad’s face! Or your bully’s face!… Read more S4:E16 – Game Boy Camera Commercial

The Blair Witch! Oooh,  scary! It has symbols everywhere! The camera is shaking and they are scared and being picked off! We’re all shocked! But it’s rated R so we better not see your 16-year old behind in here! Unless you sneak in with a plate of chicken livers, and then you better share (And… Read more S4:E15 – The Blair Witch Project Movie Trailer

You ever just go to into your car (The passenger side, since you never get to ride in your own car. Enjoy the experience!) and just… Chill? Snoop Dogg does. Or maybe he’s riding in someone’s car and they went inside for a few minutes! Who knows! He could be in mid-transit to making the… Read more S4:E14 – Snoop Dogg Just Sitting in His Car Listening to Let It Go

Have you heard the tale of your local dentist down the block who will give you laughing gas whenever you want?! He’s a little more expensive than most, but he does the job! He’s got only a 3 star on Coruscant Review, but he’s trustworthy! I think he might also be the an emperor of… Read more S4:E13 – The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise

What do you think Kenny Loggins is doing during quarantine? Do you think he’s doing the same thing he is doing in here in the music video for pinnacle song from the pinnacle soundtrack of our time, “Top Gun: Music From the Motion Picture”? Probably! Because it’s kind of not a great video! He’s just… Read more S4:E12 – Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zon...

Just as the goop from the bottom of the bag is scooped up into your mouth orifice, you may also experience the joy of a slightly spicy delight of Monterrey Jack cheese with your date on your low-rent sofa meant… Read more S4:E11 – Taco Bell Monterrey Jack Cheese Quesadilla Commercial

Sometimes, you gotta make that sale. And in the cereal world, making that sale is hard. The Rice Krispie guys got a corner on the air puff and desert market. Tony the Tiger knows his stuff is addicting and doesn’t care who he peddles it to because he stands by his product. And we’re still… Read more S4:E10 – Hulk Hogan Honey Nut Cheerio Commerical

Have you seen Speed 2? We sure haven’t. I mean, we’ve seen the trailer yes, but the movie, not so much. Why? What was it about a franchise that lost one of its temporal B-listers and replaced him with boats (ships?) that makes even the truly uncultured such as us lose interest? This week we… Read more S4:E9 – Speed 2 Trailer

Where were you when the new Sakura Wars theme song dropped? Were you watching online? Were you in the audience? Were you, most horrifyingly of all, on…stage? Yeeeesh.

Aaron Littleton co-hosts… Read more S4:E8 – New Sakura Wars Theme Song Reveal

I want to tell you about these so-called “humans”, with their so-called “boats”. They dangle…dangle’s the right word right? They dangle worms, the juiciest you’ve ever seen, right down here in our faces. IN OUR FACES! But let me tell you friends, these worms are not what they seem. Oh no, not at all. Not… Read more S4:E7 – Fishing Show Bloopers

What’s your aesthetic? My aesthetic is essentially the Matrix DVD menu: an endlessly looping SD video of overwrought motion graphics hiding special features no one will ever watch and Easter Eggs no one will ever find. On a good day, I prefer this aesthetic through the filter of an early consumer digital camera, applying a… Read more S4:E6 – Sony Mavica Commercial

Just like with money, chicken nuggets have also been hit hard with inflation. It used to be that you could get five chicken nuggets for 99 cents at Wendy’s. Today, in 2019 time, you pay $1 for FOUR nuggets. Where did the other one go? Were we bad enough that we don’t deserve the fifth… Read more S4:E5 – Wendy’s Crispy Chicken Nuggets Commercial

Pants? So modern. Shirt? IG as F. Overly simplistic computer graphics that look like they came out of a Chinese AI factory for children’s YouTube video creation? Near perfection. A symmetrical ring of underwear poking out from above your belt? Ehhh – some things will never be cool. This week we watched the “Butterfly” music… Read more S4:E4 – Smile.dk “But...

Dunkaroos loom large in our collective unconscious. Sydney or Duncan or whoever was your Dunkaroos mascot, villain of a thousand faces, almost certainly lurks in some forgotten corner of your brain. His domain is somewhere between barely suppressed animal instincts and memories obliterated by alcoholic whipped cream. He waits, cookie held at ready, waiting on… Read more S4:E3 – Dunkaro...

Dr. Light slams hatch on his 200X Pontiac Aztek, the back seat folded down and full of plastic pet carriers.

It’s time for season 4 of Video Death Loop, and we’re starting off with…something. Something really real. Something by David Lynch, though we’re not entirely sure what. Sure, it’s a PlayStation 2 commercial, but what if it was also not that? Or even more harrowingly, what if it is that? What if that’s all this… Read more S4:E1 – PlayStation 2: The Th...
