GLRL Episode 9: “They Live” (1988) with Aaron Waltke

GreenLightRedLightLogo2Big For this week’s episode, we watched the John Carpenter directed 1988 cult classic, They Live. Starring “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Keith David. This movie spawned multiple parodies, is referenced in the “OBEY” posters created by artist Shepard Fairey, and contains the greatest line ever committed to cellulose: “I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass… and I’m all out of bubblegum.”

Sadly, between the recording of this podcast and today, Roddy Piper passed away from a cardiac arrest at the age of 61. We talked about what we wanted to do with the podcast, and decided to go ahead and release it, as we all really love the movie, and Roddy himself. Our thoughts go out to Roddy’s family, friends, and many many fans. He will be missed.

Our guest for the main episode is Aaron Waltke of DreamWorks Animation, who hosts two podcasts of his own, My Arms are Lasers and Paranoia Shoppe, both available on the Explosomagico Network. You can find Aaron on Twitter at @goodaaron.

The movie is available from Amazon, on Blu-Ray, DVD, or Watch Instantly.

Shut Up and Take Our Money: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Teaser Trailer #2

CrashedDestroyerCrop — Pictured: A crashed X-Wing in the foreground, and a crashed Imperial Star Destroyer in the background. Not pictured: My childhood, crying out in joy.

What else is there to say? I think it’s safe to say that it took someone like J.J. Abrams, a kid who grew up loving Star Wars, to understand what made it fun. We’ve been disappointed before, (Oh how we’ve been disappointed!) but this feels different.

Watch:

From the Trailer:

VaderHelmetCrop — Vader is having a bad day.

LukeHandCrop — Luke, going all retro with the hand.

KyloCrop — Kylo Ren, looking extra bad ass.

Chewie…we’re home.

GLRL Episode 7: “Dune” (1984) with Marc R.

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you gave David Lynch a large budget and asked him to direct a Sci-Fi epic co-starring a mostly naked Sting, wonder no longer! In 1984, Lynch directed Dune, a movie that took over a decade, and several aborted attempts, to produce. Based on the classic Frank Herbert penned Sci-Fi novel of the same name, Dune turned out to be such a mess, Lynch has disowned it. So, of course, we had to watch it, joined by my improv buddy Marc R. Sorry in advance, and remember: Walk without rhythm, and you won’t attract the worm!

Jon Snow Knows Nuffin About Dinner Parties

We all love Jon Snow. My household is solidly pro-Stark and pro-Targaryen, and we’re looking forward to the inevitable alliance as Ice and Fire are united. That being said, Jon Snow sucks at small talk. Like, really, really sucks. A fact that Seth Meyers learned the hard way.

I Did a Thing! Voice Acting on “Life is a Hideous Thing”

If you haven’t already had enough of the sound of my voice, I did some voice acting for former Cradle of Filth bassist Dave Pybus! It’s a short bit during the intro of his new podcast Life is a Hideous Thing. I play both sides of a conversation between an astronaut and NASA.

The podcast itself is an interesting conversation with renowned fantasy & D&D artist Brom, so it’s right up our alley.

If you ever wanted to hear me talking to myself in a more structured manner than I normally talk to myself, check it out!

I come in at about (1:11) of Episode 5.
