Gooberzilla's Greatest Blog EVER!: August 2006

The Crushing Pressure of Mediocrity...

The Core is the Worst Movie EVER. We blame Daryl Surat over at AnimeWorldOrder for inflicting this cinematic atrocity on our psyches, and we swear upon the ghost of M.D. Geist and the ruins of the Brain Palace that vengeance shall be ours. Well, not really...we still love you, Daryl, in a completely heterosexual and non-threatening way.

Also, new installations in the Appatosaurus Preserve now allow us to record and publish an episode across vast gulfs of time, space, and probability without sounding like we're shouting from inside a tin out-house. (Translation: We got some new software; the podcast should sound better than before.)

3 Minutes, 37 Seconds In:
Ice Cube, Master thespian! Witness his staggering range of emotions:

Angry.

Miffed.

Irritated.

Natasha Henstridge at her finest.

Dungeons & Dragons is the Worst Movie EVER. (Although the `80s cartoon was pretty cool.)

2 Minutes, 49 Seconds In:

Sure, she's hot and the steel bustier is downright sexy, but what self-respecting elf would wield a crossbow!?!

WTF?

Tragedy strikes when the crew members realize the true horror of the Dungeons & Dragons movie...

Dragons: 1 , Stromnir: Zero

Reign of Fire is the Greatest Worst Movie EVER. Or the Worst Greatest Movie EVER. We're not sure.

It has dragons in it.

No, seriously. They breath fire and everything. And apparently, they wiped out the dinosaurs. All of the ones that weren't safely sequestered in the Appatosaurus Preserve, that is.

15 Minutes, 16 Seconds In:

Getting ready for it...

Yes, folks. They even filmed it from underneath.

GO, STROMNIR, GO!!!

Sadly, shortly after this episode was recorded, the entire dinosaur population of the Appatosaurus Preserve was wiped out by an unknown assailant wielding a giant, freakin' axe. Witnesses report that the assailant was heard shouting: "Yaaar, filthy dragons, taste the wrath of me blade!" The cryptic message "STROMNIR LIVES!" was found painted in dinosaur blood at the scene of the slaughter.

Cetaceans on the War-Path!

This week we discover that Orca: The Killer Whale is, in fact, the Greatest Movie EVER.

I apologize for the sound quality on this episode. Apparently, there was a problem with Katherine's microphone (no doubt caused by the jealousy waves she emitted after not getting to sit in the "comfy chair") which I didn't catch until post-production. So if it sounds like Katherine is shouting down a well, just try and pretend that she's trying to communicate with Angel and George down in the Appatosaurus Preserve at the Center of the Earth.

Aw, isn't that cute?

The hero of this picture: Orca, the Killer Whale.

Oh, sure, he looks cute now.
But cross him and he'll eat you and everyone you ever loved...

See what I mean?

15 minutes, 11 Seconds In:

The lonely death of Umilak.

The ice crushes both ways. (SQUISH!)

16 Minutes, 45 Seconds In:

As you can see, our resident Beautiful Marine Biologist Lady is totally into Richard Harris...

...but then again, what lady could resist THIS?

Bonus Content!

You're in luck! Two podcasts in as many days, featuring my first subterranean adventure with George and Angel as we delve elbow-deep into the soul-staining murk of The Fantastic Four!

No show-notes, though. You're not that lucky.

Logan's Run and Lizard-Brains

Logan's Run is the Greatest Movie EVER.

Now that I think about it, that Carousel crystal looks like a giant Apple Sour Altoid.

See?

Anti-gravity Disco!

It's kind of sad when your film's Moses figure is Peter Ustinov as a Crazy Cat Guy.

7 Minutes, 28 Seconds In:

Steam Spears! OH SNAP!

8 Minutes, 14 Seconds In:

Box, the Resident Insane Robot.
Why don't they ever invent a robot
that doesn't go haywire and attempt to kill you?
I blame Y2K.

9 Minutes, 18 Seconds In:

This is what the directors were shooting for, visually speaking.

Ironically, my good friend Eddie turns 30 this September.
THERE IS NO SANCTUARY, EDDIE!

Puberty and Vampirism Do Not Mix...

The Lost Boys is the Greatest Movie EVER. After all, a billion angsty teenagers that shop at Hot Topic can't all be wrong...
