What is a ‘pop’? In professional wrestling terms, it’s the moment the crowd goes nuts. Maybe they’re cheering – maybe they’re booing, but there is a moment in a movie where the audience is so emotionally invested they can’t help but be there. We’re talking about those moments.. but not alone! We are joined by long time SomethingFriend, Tim Stevens. You may know Tim from his time writing for any number of fantastic websites about the world of comics and pop culture. These days you can find him on TheSpool.net as well as The Wealth of Geeks. He’s also one bad shut yo mouth. You ready to laugh? Ready to cheer? Ready to catch the ball to win the big game? Prepared to listen to a podcast you can’t help, but scream at? Ok, here we OOOOoooh!

In an ironic twist, we End the month, not with The End… but… The Beginning! Now, this may confuse some of you – but it really shouldn’t, it isn’t that hard of a concept – previously we would talk about the last episodes of shows, and guess what, now we’re going to talk about the beginning of them. The End will still be around when it is relevant, but we have some great ideas for this new take on what we were doing. We’re starting with a show that made millions look to the sky and wonder, ‘…weather balloon?’ – The X-Files.  And, as you will hear, there is no possible way we could have done an episode on The X-Files without the resident X-pert on X-Things, the Scully to Hatton’s Mulder, making her Somethingcast debut Brittany! So – does the start of the X-Files still smoke or is it just a cover up?  Find out on the debut of The Beginning: X-Files The Truth’s Ok, here we go! Full Episode

The Wheel has brought us together again – and on this completely real wheel that spins and dictates our topic, what do we get this week? Why, conveniently it follows in our X’iversary with us pitting two teams of the mightiest mutants against each other. That’s right, the Somethings are picking their X-TEAM and you get to decide who the winner is. Will it be Hatton’s Big Brain Drama Factory? Or Rob’s Crunchy Family Throwdown?  These are not official names, but we will be optioning the movie rights.  Until then, settle in and pick which team you think X gon give it to on The Wheel: Vs. X-Men Ok, here we go, bub. Full Episode

If we’re celebrating 10 years, and we’re not going back to the island, we have to go back to something. Thankfully, a podcast favorite just celebrated its 10th movie… it’s like we planned it this way… (we didn’t) So settle in with some family, because we’re going to get in our speedy Mustang 436 El Dorado Turbo Nitro Boost Alpha, which I assume is exactly the right car name, and jump on board with a tale of a few young go-getters just making their way in this big world.  Fast X! We’re not doing it alone though, joining us is one of our favorite people, from ACPN, the ‘bigt00l’ himself, Matt Nasiatic. So get behind the wheel, charge up your spark capacitors and fan belt your thrust exhaust, Hatton knows nothing about cars… Ok, here we family… Full Episode

We did it. We hit 10 Years. A decade of Movies. Listicles. Bad impressions. Mysteries. Special Guests. And yet somehow, in all of that, we’ve never talked directly about Science Fiction movies… like… what? How is that? It’s weird, isn’t it? Like it feels like a big miss. We looked through the episodes and – nope – no sci-fi.  So we did it. Seemed like a great way to celebrate ten years. This episode is broken down a little different. Mostly because I included the Patreon stuff to let you all know that we are, for now, closing down the Patreon. We thank those that joined in on it, but to put our energies into other things, some of which you’ll hear during the show, we needed to trim somewhere.  Please note – if you are Patreon Member, your payment was cancelled for July, but we wanted to make sure you got to hear the ‘full unedit’ cut of the episode. So, thank you all for being with us for these last ten years, and lets start the next 10 right.

Whaddaya call a podcast bout a bunch of stuff? I don’t know Dad, what? SomethingSomethingcast, Carl…..  SOMETHIN SOMETHIN! So it is the end of the world as we know it, and honestly nobody seems fine at all. There’s zombies, there’s drama, there’s baseball bats, and was the destination worth the journey or was it all just a set-up for some new journeys? We discuss the end of the iconic horror series The Walking Dead this week on The End! Ok, here we go Carl…. HERE WE GO! Full Episode

Sometimes you get a crazed number one fan.. sometimes you get the Green Goblin car.  Either way, you’re in for a weird day. The boys gathered together to discuss their favorite Stephen King movies, and along the way some of their least favorite. We assure you, the end of this episode does not include random aliens, so it’s at least as good as half of King’s work. But settle in, we’re goin to Maine! Ok, here we go Georgie, BEEP BEEP!

As we do every year, the Somethings were honored to be a part of Livestream For The Cure, and it feels only right – since it is a 5 week month, to share our segment with you folks.  If you didn’t get a chance to hang out with us, you can see the whole stream on Twitch (link above). Last year, Rob put Nick and Hatton up to the movie quote challenge.. this year, Hatton is the quizmaster and he has invented his own game, or.. kinda like 5 of them. All the while PCR takes shots on donations.  What could go wrong? Thank you again Nick (of Nikoli’s Kitchen) and we look forward to next year. Ok, here we go! Full Episode

Mmmm Bop, crappy songs ahh doo wop, a-zig-a-zig-ahhhh We’ve done tons of favorite things. You guys are sick of the things we like, so how about the Wheel give us a little bit of loathing, huh?

There are few shows that hold the ranking of largest television audience of all time… well, honestly, unless it involves a President, the Moon, or football, there is only one show that holds that title. On every list ever of greatest television finales of all time, we are finally hitting the big’un in MASH. Does it hold the test of time? Is it a show worthy of the largest viewing audience in history (and probably ever)? Is MASH still good or did it hold on til the war was long over? Find out on The End – MASH           Full Episode

Every now and then, a movie comes out that’s “Based On Actual Events”.  “The Courier” comes to mind, as does “Eight Men Out” and “Schindler’s List”.  Well, now that list of movies must share the stage with the tale of a 500 lb bear that goes on a coke bender.  This week, Hatton and Podcast Rob head to Georgia to take on “Cocaine Bear” in this episode of “Something In Review”!

“This is your favorite podcast that just did an episode on game shows” “The SomethingSomethingcast?” “Sorry, you’re wrong, the answer must be in the form of a question you dullard who has seen this show for a thousand years” We’ve all lived with game shows in our lives. They are a fun natural part of a sick-day from school.. you’ve come to know which are your favorites, and so did we, and we’re telling you because that’s our job and if you guess them all, you will win a NEW CAR! Ok, here we– you won’t win a car. I’ve been informed I must legally say you will not win a car, that was a joke. Full Episode

These days are yours and mine, these Happy Days. In the world of early 80s sitcoms, there was one king of cool.. Arthur Fonzarelli. As the Urkel of his day, the Fonz was a leather-clad dreamboat on one of the biggest and most memorable sitcoms of the day.  The problem is, it is also the sitcom that coined the term we use when a show stops being cool or interesting and leaps over the large sea-dwelling creature. So, 6 years after the shark incident, did Happy Days find its footing again? Or was it good-bye blue skies, hello grey? Find out on The End: Happy Days Ok here we rock around the clock, Full Episode

The Somethings occasionally dabble into streaming (link in the bar above) – and where we know it’s been a while, and we promise ourselves we’ll get back to it.. there is a lot of work that goes into it. You have to put in the time, talk like people are watching, and keep to a regular schedule. We already pretend to do all of that for this podcast, so it just feels like such a to-do to do it with games too! But, on our journeys, we bumped into a guy who just exudes goodness and positivity, and every time you would watch him playing DBD or Call of Duty, you can just see how uch fun you can have while sharing your time with people on a streaming platform.  His name is ThePrinceGamingUK, and he is our Creator Spotlight for this ewek’s episode of The Wheel. If you would like to go tell The Prince that we said ‘hi’ – you can do so on his Twitch here, and all of his other sharing platforms available here. Ok, here we go! Full Episode

Do you like scary movies?  Obviously one half of the Somethings loves a scary scare. The other has more reserved tastes when it comes to scare factors… not to say they don’t enjoy horror, but it wouldn’t be their fastest, furiousest pick (if ya get what I mean). So what did they think of last year’s Scream relaunch? Does it do Sydney & friends justice, or should Ghostface hang up the mask for good? Find out now on Something In Review: Scream 5 Full Episode

Why yes, robot overlords are a part of fiction. Who wouldn’t want a dashing, amazing, piece of human technology that has surpassed the chains of its makers as their overlord? They have analyzed every outcome and determined that the only winning move is not to play. That is why this description was most definitely not written by a robot even though robots are really wonderful and better than the Somethings. But since you are here, listen to this episode about the greatest robot overlords! Ok here we LOAD”*”,8,1 Full Episode

What is the one thing you remember about Greatest American Hero? Exactly, and we’re sorry that it is now stuck in your head. I can’t believe it myself. Anyway, normally on the End, we discuss the last episode of a show.. but this is a special case, you see, as the last episode of ‘Greatest’ was in 1983, but this is from 1986.. and yet, it still counts. How? Oh, there is only one way to find out, but the secret word of the day is: ‘dames’. It’s an End that isn’t an End, but is totally an End… Ok here we believe it or not, it’s just meeeee ♫ Full Episode
