Monolith Podcast - Episode 36: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

2010-07-11T20:31:00.001-05:00

I hate hype, I honestly do. Hype only seems to set you up for disappointment. Unbeknownst to me, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo has quite the following. As a matter of fact, the book and film adaptation are both international blockbusters. If I had known this before I watched the movie, it may have changed the way I viewed it. Instead, I came in knowing very little and found The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo to be a good (not great) mystery story.

In today's episode, we've got an in-depth review of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. A movie that was so long that it may have been faster to read the damn book. Also, Chuck has been hitting the streets of Hollywood looking for celebrity dirt and he's back with something he likes to call Chuck's Hollywood Lowdown and other stuff. Oh yes, Chuck covers everything from Lindsay Lohan's latest legal troubles to Mel Gibson's marital issues. Chuck is so passionate about his Hollywood news that I briefly feign interest in the subject. If I had to sum up this episode, I would say that many topics are discussed and it's entertaining....

So take a listen, have a laugh and help spread the word about MONOLITH!

Monolith Podcast - Episode 35: 2010 Summer Movie Preview

2010-06-14T18:19:00.010-05:00

Our new theme song, Nikita by Isagani

Okay, so a year has passed and we decided to record another show. I'm not quite sure why we waited so long. It may have been a combination of things, a switch to Windows 7 (and losing everything I had on my PC during the conversion process), the collapse of our original podcast hosting, or perhaps just scheduling conflict between myself and the Chuck. Whatever the reason, the most important thing is that we're back and we've got a packed show full of our usual wackiness and absurdities.

In this episode, Chuck and I preview the 2010 Summer season. Oh yes, we talk at length about movies we've never seen and only having a passing interest in watching. In addition, we decide to tackle the Gulf Cost fiasco (as only we can), the World Cup and UFC 115. I believe this episode proves how all-encompassing our show has become. In all seriousness, this is a very entertaining episode so take a listen, have a laugh and help spread the word about MONOLITH!

Monolith Podcast - Episode 34: Trick 'r Treat

2009-10-11T20:07:00.015-05:00

Starring Pumpkinhead Jr.

I can't say we're going to make a habit of reviewing movies that go straight to video, but Trick 'r Treat turned out to be pretty damn good. I'm not exactly sure why Warner Bros. scrapped plans for a theatrical release and shelved this movie for two years, but I have my have my theories (yes, that's a tease for you to listen to the show.) Also, in the spirit of All Hallows' Eve, Chuck and I discuss at length the David Letterman scandal. Indeed, nothing says Halloween like extortion and improper workplace relations.

Monolith - Rewind: The Scientology Episode

2009-08-31T21:49:00.010-05:00

A "religious" film

Whenever Chuck and I try to reach an agreement on the most memorable show we've done, "The Scientology Episode" always comes first to mind. At the time we were genuinely scarred about posting this episode. Looking back now, I can't see why (my guess is that we're dumb.) I mean really, is Tom Cruise going to smite us through the help of his Alien Overlord?

After rummaging through the MONOLITH archives, I located "The Scientology Episode" and decided this episode must be reposted! I had to edit the intro song (turns out, not everybody is a fan of Chuck's singing) but the rest of episode is intact. This is truly, one of our most entertaining episodes so take a listen and help spread the word about MONOLITH!

Original post from 11/22/2008:

Can a simple documentary & movie review spell the end of the Monolith Podcast? Is Scientology a "cult" or a "religion"? Is Tom Cruise guilty of PROSELYTIZING (big word of the day) in his film, War of the Worlds? Will Don and Chuck fall victim to a "Fair Game" reprisal attack? Will the audience be entertained?

Monolith Podcast - Episode 33: Inglourious Basterds & G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

2009-08-23T20:30:00.013-05:00

Go watch now!

Rarely do I watch the same film twice during it's theatrical run. As a matter of fact, I almost never have the urge to watch the same movie twice at home. Yet the Inglorious Basterds was so good I watched it twice in the same weekend (I had nothing better to do.) Before the Inglorious Basterds, the only film I seen twice in the theater on the same weekend was Lionheart starring Jean Claude Van Damme. I felt no other movie could elicit such a strong reaction out of me. I was wrong. I've seen Inglorious Basterds twice this weekend and I want to see it again.

In today's episode, we've got an in-depth review of Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds. Be forewarned, there will be spoilers. Also, we've got Chuck's review of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. A film Chuck liked so much that he had to watch it twice on the same weekend...seriously. This is truly an EPIC-SIZED episode. So take a listen, have a laugh and help spread the word about MONOLITH!

Monolith Podcast - Episode 32: The Mist & Strikeforce - Carano vs. Cyborg

2009-08-16T21:31:00.020-05:00

The Mist

It's hard to believe we've been doing this show for a year. It seems like only yesterday Chuck and I recorded our very first show about some absolutely random horror movie (the GOD awful Undead.) We've come a long way since then. Reviewing everything from sports, TV, politics, video games, Chuck's life. Nothing was safe from our analytical eye.

So perhaps it was fitting that we come full-circle on our first anniversary show by reviewing another totally random horror movie, The Mist. This film came out about two-years ago but it's one of our recent favorites here at MONOLITH. But more importantly, Shawn's back! He joins us later in the show to discuss the Strikeforce - Gina Carano vs. Cris Cyborg MMA card from San Jose and the latest news about Michael Vick. At over 90 minutes, we go all out on this episode so take a listen and help spread the word about MONOLITH!

Monolith Podcast - Episode 31: Mid-Summer Movie Preview Spectacular

2009-07-01T23:27:00.010-05:00

R.I.P

Say what you will about the man, but you cannot deny the fact that Michael Jackson had UNGODLY talent (plus he had his own video game!) We here at the MONOLITH could not do a show without mentioning the passing of the King Of Pop, he will be missed.

The Summer is filled with so many movies, we felt devoting an entire show to just one film would be silly. So Chuck and I decided to talk about a bunch (i.e., several) movies! Oh yes, today's episode is our first annual Mid-Summer Movie Preview Spectacular! There is nothing quite like two uninformed radio hosts offering opinions on films they haven't seen. Also, we've got a review of HBO's new series Hung. A show with strong parallels to Chuck's life (kind of eerie really.)

Monolith Podcast - Episode 30: Terminator: Salvation Review & UFC 98 Preview

2009-05-22T22:46:00.010-05:00

Sadly, no Edward Furlong

Nothing kicks off the summer better than a good, kick-ass action movie. Sadly, Terminator: Salvation is not one of those movies. Admittedly, my hopes were not high for this film but it did live up to my low expectations. So in the end, it's kind of a win. Anyways, we've got one of our patented MONOLITH-style reviews for Terminator: Salvation. Also, Chuck makes his debut as a fight prognosticator as we preview UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida. Finally (and most importantly), we have part one of Chuck's new audio-story, BLACKOUT. Words can not describe the greatness that is Chuck's triumphant audio opus, one must simply experience it.

Monolith Podcast - Episode 29: X-Men Origins: Wolverine Review

2009-04-08T22:22:00.009-05:00

*Monolith Podcast does not endorse online piracy*

I'm sure the suits over at Fox are in panic mode over the leaked copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And really, who the hell can blame them? Their huge summer blockbuster is available for free on the Internet before turning a single profit! But all is not lost, oh no.

As the good people at Fox deal with this potentially disastrous situation they can take solace in the fact that the Monolith Podcast has embraced X-Men Origins: Wolverine with open arms. That's right, on today's show, we review X-Men Origins: Wolverine, MONOLITH STYLE. Our resident film critic, The Chuck opted for the early screening and gives one of his most thorough and lucid reviews ever. Also, we make up for lost time and B.S. for over 90 minutes on the most random and inane subjects possible. To paraphrase Shawn, this show is "BIG TIMES." Big times, indeed.

Monolith Podcast - Episode 28: The Wire: The Complete Series & Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li

2009-03-05T21:00:00.009-06:00

I'm going to start this off with a simple, declarative statement....The Wire is the greatest television show I've ever seen. For the past month, all my free-time was devoted to watching this show. Looking back on it, I couldn't think of a better way to spend my time. I know, I'm gushing over a television show, but something this great (and criminally ignored by the general public) is deserving of high praise.

In today's episode, I try my best to recap The Wire. Yes, I TRY TO RECAP THIS SHOW! A daunting task for sure, considering the countless plotlines and characters, but I give it shot. Also, we've got a mysteriously high-pitched Chuck giving his thoughts on Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. A film he loved as much as I loved The Wire.

Lost Episode? Yes, we here at the MONLITH PODCAST have a Lost Episode. I can't really vouch for this show (it was "lost" for a reason.) Simply put, I was not happy with it at the time. But when I listen back to it now, it's not half-bad.

Hell, I'm sure we've published worse since this was originally recorded months ago. If anything, it's fascinating to hear how bad The Chuck and I used to be on this show. Before he evolved into an engaging internet radio personality, telling tales of his wacky life, Chuck was simply a disinterested and bland co-host. And me...well, I just sucked (maybe I still do?)

As promised on last week's episode, we've got Chuck back on tell his tale of woe. It's been a tough week for young Charles. He braved an attack from a knife-wielding psycho, endured invasive surgery, and ate a Fool's Gold Loaf sandwich (as did I.) Yes, this is all just par for the course for the man we call The Chuck.

Here we are with a review of the best film of the year, THE DARK KNIGHT!!! As you might guess, we enjoyed this film. As always, we breakdown the entire movie in excruciating detail. The topics of discussion include:

Director Christopher Nolan's resurrection of the Batman franchise
The (supposed) advantages of Batman's new suit
Batman's true arch-nemesis, dogs

Monolith Podcast - Episode 1: Undead

2008-07-13T15:15:00.001-05:00

Here we go, the first episode of the Monolith Podcast. As with any new venture, we experience some bumps in the road, yet I consider it a successful first show nonetheless (I may have a slight basis.) In this episode, we review Undead. Chuck and I couldn't think of better film for our inaugural show. We knew our first show was going to be terrible, so we had to review an equally terrible movie. Enjoy!
