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

GreenLightRedLightLogo2BigFor 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.

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

GreenLightRedLightLogo2Big

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!

GreenLightRedLightLogo2Big

It’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves at one point or another: What if Peter Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings, decided to do an acid head version of The Muppet Show as a movie?  Well, it turns out the answer was waiting for us all along in the form of 1989’s Meet the Feebles!  Aaron Buell (2 Guys, a Girl, and a Goblin) joins us as we watch a movie featuring a Kermit the Frog lookalike strung out on heroin, throwing knives at a hedgehog and having Deer Hunter style Vietnam flashbacks, a morbidly obese hippo with a food addiction, a puppet fly that eats feces from toilet, a fox who sings about sodomy, and much more!

Meet the Feebles is available from Amazon through the link below:
