We start of the new year with an extra-long episode packed with 1) trivia, 2) Carrie Fisher talk, 3) our predictions for horrible things that could destroy the Earth this calendar year, and 4) death pool lists! Welcome to the beginning of the end of the human race. Welcome to 2017.
2016 was full of crappy news (this was recorded before Carrie Fisher's heart attack and subsequent death). We do some Bad News Trivia, then break down our favorite movies, TV shows, and geeky experiences of the year.
The prequel to the original and sequel to the prequels is here! ROGUE ONE made mad bank in theaters this weekend. But does it live up to the Star Wars seal of quality? We discuss the pros and cons of the first one-off in the franchise.
It's Star Wars... how bad could it be? We try to warn you off of the infamous 1978 not Christmas special in which Chewie tries to get home to Kashyyyk to visit his family, his dad watches porn, his wife makes a Bantha recipe, and his son tries to foil an Imperial crackdown on civil liberties. Oh yeah, it's the first appearance of Boba Fett.
Oh the many movers and shakers we have lost to the fangs of 2016... from Ziggy Stardust to Willy Wonka, we dig through this graveyard of a year (via trivia) to remember what has been lost.
You're Welcome for this Shiny review of Disney's new animated feature Moana, which shows We Know the Way to get our podcast to Where You Are. Bonus points for putting all those song titles in this blurb. This is a great movie set against the backdrop of Pacific Islander mythology!
Doug Glatt isn't a smart man, but he knows what love is. We review the 2011 hockey film based (allegedly, as these things go) on the true story of a minor league hockey enforcer.
Teddy Roosevelt, hero of the Spanish-American War and president of the United States, had some weird pets. This factoid and more in this episode of the ATOMIC TRIVIA WAR 9000, as well as a contest! Enter by decoding the cryptogram hidden in this week's questions. Send the answer to Jason at atw9k@simplysyndicated.com and one lucky person will get a prize!
MOVIE NIGHT – Doctor Strange
Did you like Punch Out? How 'bout Serpentor? We've got trivia about those and more, plus talk about some nerdy movies coming down the pike and Jason's recent addiction to The West Wing!
TRIVIA: Mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it but a kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it. We talk about 1992's BATMAN RETURNS, the second movie in Tim Burton's duology on the Caped Crusader of Gotham City, which frames the Penguin as a prescient look at Donald Trump. October is Batmonth. Because bats. It was almost WitchMonth.
BATMONTH — Batman and Robin
Baby, would you like a kiss from a rose on the grapes? Ooh, the more I taste of this soup, the more I make. Now when you're Orlando Bloom, the light hits the gloom on the cave. It's Batman and Robin, the second-worst Batman movie ever made. We examine it piece by painful piece.
Who will reign supreme when Kev-O takes over and slings the questions? He delivers a blast of video game trivia, then we talk about our formative video game experiences (ATARI, DAWG!).
It starts with Operation Dumbo Drop. Our MOVIE MASTERS challenge is back with 25 new trivia questions, then turns to a discussion of guilty pleasure movies!
