Videodrome Radio Podcast

Uncle J.J. comes to visit and talk revolves around the history of Videodrome Radio, our crazy Iron Man 2 (2008) review(s), more speculation about Peter Jackson's upcoming Hobbit (2012+) movies, and a new release on Blu-Ray of a mostly-forgotten silent/talkie (and traditional/experimental) hybrid film, Lonesome (1928). 

SPOILER ALERT!  Tune into this latest episode to hear about who the antagonist is for J.J. Abram's newest Star Trek movie!  Also, B.K.'s name is revealed!  Ever wonder why Quint had it in for Bruce in Jaws (1975)?  Find out as we talk about the new Blu-Ray!  Plus, we tell you all about true crime in our reviews of Killer Joe (2011) and Down By Law (1986).

Much like NBC's coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, this is an abbreviated and tape-delayed episode.  They wouldn't cover The Most Dangerous Game (1932), so we did.  (You're welcome, Pentathletes!)

This week: Fishing with John (1991), Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012), The Newsroom (2012), Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto (1954), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012).

Broadcasting from our summer home inside of McGurk's Suicide Hall, we discuss Woody Allen's new film, To Rome With Love (2012), The Bros. Raimi and Bruce Campbell's Evil Dead trilogy, and Alfred Hitchcock's 39 Steps (1935).

On this week's episode: Avengers (2012) spoilers, Mad Men spoilers, Game of Thrones spoilers, What's Up, Doc? (1972) spoilers, The Dictator (2012) spoilers, and The Big Heat (1953) spoilers.  (Some of them may even be true!)

Back from the Memorial Day break, the boys discuss pinball, Game of Thrones, tanks at the Military Vehicle Technology Foundation, and John Ford's classic with John Wayne and Montgomery Clift, Red River (1948).

This week, a special guest lends a touch of class to the underground fortress -- Silicon Valley Roller Girls' own Smack Dahlia -- as we discuss pinball, Game of Thrones, Girls, and The Colossus of New York (1958).

Hockey Talk, He-Man, and A Hollis Frampton Odyssey.

A nautical theme emerges as your hosts discuss A Trip to the Moon (1902), the History Channel 2's documentary, "Nazi Titanic", and Assault on a Queen (1966).

On this week's show: Game of Thrones preview, Mad Men new season review, and Abel Gance's Napoleon (1927).

Mr. Salamander and Hank talk about Twittin', twits, and wits -- mostly the latter with Noel Coward's 1945 films directed by David Lean, Brief Encounter and Blithe Spirit.

This week, we discuss B.K.'s favourite new television programme (it's a secret, and you won't believe it!), Clara Bow & Gary Cooper in the Academy Award winning Wings (1927), the "touching" documentary, Shut Up Little Man! An Audio Misadventure (2011), and season two of B.K.'s other favourite new television programme, Game of Thrones.

The switch to Daylight Saving Time leads into a conversation about time travel in film and the implications in real life.  When B.K. finally walks into the studio, he discusses Martin Scorsese's Hugo (2011) and speaks of an interesting death.  Hank mentions another one.  Also, Hank and Mr. Salamander review Fritz Lang's Scarlet Street (1945).

This week, Mr. Salamander talks about some short films he saw at the Cinequest festival, B.K. talks about the life of a famous concept artist, and Hank talks about that one movie you think you may have seen (but probably didn't): Mirage (1965).

We're back with some quality video entertainment for you: The new TV show, Alcatraz (2012), a movie based on an old TV show, Three Outlaw Samurai (1964), and a movie that's actually a two-part German TV show, World On A Wire (1973).  Plus, B.K. brings us of another "Interesting Death of the Week"™.

This week, Mr. Salamander goes on a rampage discussing the glut of films featuring Nazis now in theaters: David Fincher's version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) and George Lucas' fantasy, Red Tails (2011).  Also appearing: Hank and B.K.

The station is still having audio problems, but that won't stop Hank, B.K., and Mr. Salamander from returning on another Golden Globes night to talk about Legos, Homeland (2011), Belle de Jour (1967), and topics of concern.
