Thu, 16 July 2009 Hello everyone, welcome to a special episode of "Are You Serious?" In this episode I am joined by my wife, El as we discuss the new movie, "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince." We attempt to compare the book to the movie and determine if anything that was left out should have been fit in. We also discuss how the series has progressed, in story, tone, look, feel and technologically behind the scenes. As you would expect, Harry Potter is not all that we discuss in the course of the show, but, be warned... if you don't want the movie spoiled, DO NOT LISTEN! Music in this episode is from: The Misfits - "Witch Hunt" Rob Zombie - "The One" Killer Dwarfs - "We Stand Alone" Thanks for listening everyone! We'll see you next week! 206-338-3094 areyouseriouspodcast@gmail.com Comments[0] |

Wed, 8 April 2009  Well, here it is... FINALLY! For you, it is coming out at the same normal time, but for us, what you have here is the FOURTH time we tried to record the show. The first time, I forgot to turn the effects off. The second time, The program crashed and we had not saved. The third time, it just stopped recording. The fourth time, well, that's what stuck.We talk about some new releases, like Adventureland and The Haunting in Connecticut. We reveal our Douche-Bags of the week and then we go over listener feedback. So, you know, the usual stuff. Our new opening music is from a great local band, The Fine Print Band. Music in the show this week is from Faith No More - "I Started a Joke" Guns N Roses - "I Used to Love Her" Heretix - "World Full of Tears" and Killer Dwarfs - "We Stand Alone" This week was fun AND frustrating all at the same time. We hope you enjoy it. Call us and contribute 206-338-3094 Comments[0] |

Thu, 26 February 2009  Hello kids! In this episode, titled: Episode Twenty Seven: Critics are likely to make enemies, inspector. You can call it an occupational hazard, we discuss some of the more recent releases, the Oscar contest results that we ran, and we pick apart a review from Roger Ebert that has little or nothing to do with the actual film that was supposedly reviewed. It just degrades from there into the usual mess that is Are You Serious?As mentioned in the show, here's is a link to the response from Jimmy Mack from theforce.net. This is also complete with updates. http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/story/jimmy_macs_rant_on_rogerebertcom_121206.asp This week, we feature music from Camper Van Beethoven - Pictures of Matchstick Men The Dead Boys - Sonic Reducer Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home and our closing song Killer Dwarfs - We Stand Alone Again, check out the band that played our opening myspace.com/thefineprintband You can follow Chris on twitter twitter.com/AYS_OTC_Chris (you can also find Frank through him as well) Don't forget to add your opinion! 206-338-3094 areyouseriouspodcast@gmail.com Thanks again for listening!

Sat, 14 February 2009  Here, a day early is Episode Twenty Five: "I thought I was looking at my mother's old douche-bag, but that's in Ohio."This episode is a bit of a departure for us. We pick up the reigns from Outside the Cinema in a show of solidarity and address a listener that crosses the line. Perhaps they have a "Touch of Evil." But, before that, we discuss some new releases and some older titles that we have seen. After that, we talk about one of our favorite shows. Ben joins us again for some in show music and believe it or not, the hiss is gone! In this episode we feature music from Heretix (My Favorite Hooker) Thomas Dolby (She Blinded Me With Science) Barenaked Ladies (Big Bang Theory Theme) and as usual, our closing song Killer Dwarfs (We Stand Alone) Visit Ben on his youtube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/perkinsben Don't forget to check out the band that recorded our theme myspace.com/thefineprintband those guys are great!

Sun, 18 January 2009  For better or worse, I present you with Episode Twenty One: Use the comlink? Oh my! I forgot, I turned it off. For this episode, we had a slight technical problem. One of the microphones was not relaying a signal to the mixer. So, this means that when you hear my voice, I am being picked up through Frank's mic. I tried a bunch of tricks to amplify my voice, but none seemed to make it any better, only worse. The show is not a total loss however. You can still hear me, even though we had to drop almost two hours of the recording. We cut out the discussion that we had about our favorite albums, which is a shame because we lost some really funny moments there. Anyway, we have a guest on the show this week, Kelci stopped by to add to the mess that is "Are You Serious?" We had fun, even though we are plagued by technical problems. We'll be back next week with a re-cap of the last eight years. Tuesday's inauguration and what we wnant to see in the days ahead. Thanks for listening. Sit back and relax. Enjoy the show! here's the link we talk about from our email segment http://comicsmedia.ign.com/ Music this week is from Sarah Silverman and Faith No More.

Sun, 28 December 2008  Episode Eighteen: You? You! Hit that director in the face, really f*ck!ng hard!Welcome to our year end show! We decided that we would do a special TWO part show for the year end wrap up. We also decided that it would be great to offer both parts of the show in ONE EPISODE for continuous listening! In this one episode two-parter we talk about a lot of things that were much more current when we were recording! Things like "Milk" starring Sean Penn. We also discuss other year end lists and what they blatantly forgot. Part two of the one part show starts with a discussion of the Golden Globe nominees and we top off our year end spectacle with our least favorite films from our favorite directors. As always, you can contact us at 206-338-3094 or email us at areyouseriouspodcast@gmail.com check out our forums on popsyndicate! popsyndicate.com/forums Until next year! Comments[1] |
