Bad week for celebs...

Dennis Hopper & Gary Coleman
RIP Ya'll
It's been a rough week for Hollywood. First everyone's favorite little short man kicked his little bucket after failing to emerge from a coma...now everyone's favorite crazy guy couldn't out crazy prostate cancer. These guys both experienced some very high and very low points in their career, and both produced great material over the years. I'll be talking more about their careers and deaths on Monday's show as well as playing music from various projects they worked on.

I figured I wouldn't post a bunch of info here, since well...have you looked at google lately?

LOST farewell podcast

It's over folks. Finished. Wrapped. Closed. Kaput. This 6 year journey through television history has reached it's resting place and we sent it off right last night on the show. The Gaffer and I dedicated the full two hours to discussing this show...we took a black rock / white rock approach, since The Gaffer 'effing hates it. We discussed the mechanics, what worked and what didn't...the interesting use of music, the viewer experience, how and why this show gripped us all in the first season, and how much we both completely loathed Kate. Good or bad, however you view LOST, you'll hopefully be able to enjoy this podcast.

LOST: A tribute show tonight at 8pm CST

That's right kiddos! We'll be doing a two hour long tribute to the 6 years of time investment I've given to the television show known simply as LOST. We'll be playing selections of Micheal Giacchino's fantastic score as well as various tracks used throughout the show. The Gaffer and I will more than likely bicker and argue about things we loved, hated, could have done better, etc. All in all, we'll be building this show a raft, pushing it out on the ocean and watching it explode out of our lives forever.

Tune in TONIGHT - 8pm CST on KXUA 883. FM (streaming)

This podcast will blow your pants off!

Howdy folks!

This week we had a lot of fun in the studio chatting about some of our fondest Italo-horror memories, listening to great scores, and trying not to suffocate. Per usual, we covered the box office reports, DVD releases and what to expect from this weekend at the theaters. We didn't get a chance to review any new movies this week, but blame Hollywood for not making anything worth my 8.50. We heard music from the following films:
