Episode 9 – Talking Soundtracks: Guardians of the Galaxy

15 mars 2016 | 43 min

Part 2 of Soundtrack talk. This time, Shawn joins Brad to talk about the music of Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Digressions:

1) Shawn read a book about the Replacements. Turns out everything he said previously about the band and lead singer Paul Westerberg was wrong.

2) Shawn then gets the name of the book’s author wrong. Several times. Because of irony.

Actually, that’s not too many digressions for an episode of Movies That Marvel. There'll be more next time.

Episode 4 – The Hulk, Taylor And Ryan

21 februari 2016 | 63 min

We have two (TWO!) guests for the new episode of Movies That Marvel.

Author Tim Burdick joins us from the Czech Republic to discuss the Hulk film journey.

Shawn Reynolds returns. We discuss Taylor Swift’s 1989 and Ryan Adam’s cover version of that album. Because a couple guys in their forties talking about Taylor Swift isn’t creepy at all.

Episode 3 – Deadpool and The I Don’t Cares

16 februari 2016 | 22 min

Episode 3! And they said we'd never make it.

Listen to me drive to and from seeing Deadpool, the #1 Movie in America (I can't believe it either).

Splitting up the drive is my conversation with Shawn Reynolds discussing the album Wild Stab by The I Don't Cares, the new band comprised of Paul Westerberg and Juliana Hatfield.

Episode 2 – Iron Man

9 februari 2016 | 56 min

On the new episode of Movies That Marvel, Brad reunites with his college radio partner Jarf to talk about:
1) Iron Man and how they loved it.
2) Robert Downey Jr and how awesome his is.
3) Jeff Bridges, who is also awesome.
4) Batman V. Superman. They’re not sure if that will be awesome.
5) How Wonder Woman deserves better.
6) Back to awesome things, Stephen Malkmus’ song The Hook.
7) The good old days at Lock Haven.
8) How JK Simmons can and will do anything, including Major Lazer

The episode runs a little long (just under an hour), but that means there is more for you to love.
