HEY YOU GUYS!!!! This week it’s a blast to the past and a chance at redemption as we’re joined in the Goondocks by none other than our very own Jared the Intern, fresh off the plane from the middle of nowhere (aka Missouri). Join us as we discuss our geektastic viewing of the classic adventure film, The Goonies. Grab your Baby Ruth, set booby-traps for the Fratellis, and Truffle Shuffle your way to somewhere comfortable as you prepare to hear our thoughts on the search for One-Eyed Willie’s gold on a whole new episode of Monkey in the Cage!
With the meteoric success of The Walking Dead and the subsequent weekly zombie vacuum left on Sunday nights, we here at the podcast (and most everyone else out there in pop-culture land) can’t seem to get enough of the rotting, cannibalistic dead come to f*ck up the humdrum routine of society. Joining us this week are two very special guests – actor/writer and voice of Red Dead Redemption’sBill Williamson, Steve J. Palmer as well as comic artist Guy LeMay, creator of Z-Blade XX,Zombie Headhunter, and The Entity Knights – as we discuss zombie movies, games, and the genre in general. Stock up on supplies, shine up your bullets, and pay attention because you’re going to want to change your zombie apocalypse plan after listening to this week’s episode of Monkey in the Cage!
The Amazing Spider-Man set to release July 3, 2012
When I first heard that they we doing a re-boot of the Spider-Man movies I, along with probably every other comic book movie fan, let out a groan. It just hadn’t been long enough to warrant a re-boot. Then I saw X-Men: First Class which I had similar feelings about and I was completely blown away. So I started rethinking my initial reaction.
Below is a the first look at a clip from the movie. It’s short and doesn’t have any action in it but it does show Garfield’s portrayal of Peter Parker rather well. While I liked Tobey Maguire in The Cider House Rules and Brothers he was never my idea of who Spider-Man should be. From this scene and the trailers I can tell that Andrew Garfield will be playing a better Peter Parker/Spider-Man than Maguire. He’s better portraying how lovably hopeless Peter can be and he has that smart-mouthed bravado that the the webslinger is known for.
Do I lose “geek cred” for wanting to see this movie?
