Monolith Podcast - Episode 35: 2010 Summer Movie Preview


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

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. If you hadn't guessed by now, this is a very eclectic episode. Join the fun and help spread the word about MONOLITH!

Monolith - Rewind: The Scientology Episode

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? Take a listen and find out.

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

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!
