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

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

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.) A good time is guaranteed so take a listen and help spread the word about MONOLITH!

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

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. Take a listen and help spread the word about MONOLITH!

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

*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. Take a listen and help spread the word about MONOLITH!

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

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. Take a listen and help spread the word about MONOLITH!
