Episode Sixty Seven: "All I asked was sixty-seven million, and he said "okay.""    

In this episode, we discuss topics ranging from abortion to the T.V. show Glee.     

First, we start off with our usual wrap up of what we watched the previous week. This includes Glee, The Office, Big Bang Theory, Mad Men, Parks and Recreation, Community, V and a few other shows, as well as Frank's review of Precious.   

Next, we get into the current events portion of the show. Health care is discussed, however briefly, followed by a small discussion of "She who must not be named" and her new book. Then we move into territory that caused us to get a bit more animated. The first is whether we should commit more troops to Afghanistan. The second point had to do with the trial of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed taking place in New York. We get quite riled up and have a lively discussion about the pros and cons of these two events.    

Next up, we delve into listener feedback. We get a few good e-mails and one really confusing voice mail, but keep them coming!    

Music this week is from:    
Faith No More - "The Cowboy Song"    
D.R.I. - "Suit and Tie Guy"    
Collective Soul - "Shine"    
Sublime - "Hong Kong Phooey"    
Plus, stay tuned for a very special cameo appearance after you are asked "are you still there?" You won't regret it! Well, maybe you will.

In this episode, we focus a bit more on entertainment than we usually do in other shows. We cover Big Bang Theory, The Office, V, Parks and Recreations, Community, Glee, Star Wars Clone Wars and a few others.

We take a specific interest in the portrayal of Luminara Unduli and her relationship with her padawan Bariss Offee and contrast her with the other Jedi fighting in the clone wars.

Then we discuss some douche-bags. Nothing all that ire inducing really. Just a few things that are mildly bugging us this week.

We get to the voice mail eventually, as you will hear, and then call it a show.

Music this week is from:
Helmet - "Milquetoast"
Simple Plan - "American Jesus"
Pennywise -"500 Miles"
At least, I think those are the artists that recorded these songs. Although, I am sure about Helmet.

Till next week!

Contained within are the contents of another episode of "Are You Serious?" This time around, Chris and Frank discuss the economic stability of Venezuela and it's long term impact on the region's native population.        

Wait...WHAT?    

In actuality, they discuss Astroboy, Star Wars The Clone Wars, Metalocalypse, The Venture Brothers, Community, 30 Rock, Michelle Bachmann's "Freedom Rally," why it's really really bad  that John Boehner can't pronounce the word hyperbole and the fact that he can't tell the difference between the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence. Also discussed is the tragedy at Fort Hood. Our condolences go out to everyone affected by the terrible shootings.    

That's just some of what's discussed this time around. We recorded a little early, so no real feedback to speak of. Coincidentally, that does make for a shorter show.    

Music this week is from:    
Guns 'N Roses - "Civil War" - from  Use Your Illusion II    
Too Much Joy - "Clowns" - from  Son of Sam I Am    
Dethklok - "Bloodlines" - from Dethalbum II    

A special thanks to MSNBC and Keith Olbermann. We use a clip in this show to illustrate Chris' douche of the week. Thanks for not suing us!

     Hello everyone! Here is episode Sixty Four for your listening pleasure. This week, we decided to forgo notes and just wing it. You think we could do that considering all the time that we have been doing the show. Well, you might be surprised how much two simple words on a piece of paper would have helped us this week. Those words? "Koi pond."     

     Anyway, this week we discuss the normal things, a little T.V. (including the pilot of "V," some current events, and some complete jerks. Then we listen to some listener feedback and try to wrap up the show. It's kind of a disjointed ending, but it does eventually come to a close!    

     Don't forget to follow this link to witness the comedy genius that is JACK CHOP!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADqAWUoVtbs  Is the Lynn reference at the end a nod to Outside the Cinema? Maybe... but do you think I would have mentioned it if it wasn't confirmed? While you're at it why not check out some of the other movies that Adam Green and Paul Solet have made? Movies like "Hatchet" and "Grace."

     Thanks to everyone who nominated us for a podcast award, we'll know what came of it in a few weeks! Please, head over and vote for us on podcastalley: http://www.podcastalley.com/podcast_details.php?pod_id=63603 Thanks!

     Music this week is from:

Happy Birthday to us! One year ago, on September 22nd, 2008, the first episode of Are You Serious? was posted. Each and every week since then, we have posted a new show, sometimes two in a week.

Our show has evolved over time, starting with one shared USB microphone, we moved on to an older mixer and two simple microphones. From there, we acquired a good mixer and a better recording program. Simple things like filters and leveling programs, help make the show sound as good as it does today.

To help illustrate how the show has evolved over time, I have included some audio clips from our first two shows for you to hear and compare.

Early on, we were accepted into the Popsyndicate family of shows. this provided us with a network of shows and forums. We have made connections with many good people that produce many great shows. Using that as a jumping off point, we have reached out to many other great shows and met some more great people.

The greatest thing about doing the show is meeting all the people that have become listeners. We have fans all across the world and it is very humbling and awesome to talk to all of you each week.

Thank you all so much for all of your support and we welcome all new liseners with open arms - and a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Episode Fifty Two: "Before they could stand together, they had to stand alone."

In this massive episode, we talk about John Hughes, and the impact he had on our lives. After that, we discuss some recently seen movies and shows, followed by current events and some non sequitur stuff as well.

Below, are the quotes that I found regarding John Hughes.

Molly Ringwald: "I was stunned and incredibly sad to hear about the death of John Hughes. He was and will always be such an important part of my life. He will be missed – by me and by everyone that he has touched. My heart and all my thoughts are with his family now."

 

Macauley Culkin: "I was a fan of both his work and a fan of him as a person. The world has lost not only a quintessential filmmaker whose influence will be felt for generations, but a great and decent man."

 

Matthew Broderick: "I am truly shocked and saddened by the news about my old friend John Hughes. He was a wonderful, very talented guy and my heart goes out to his family."

 

Steve Martin: "I asked John how long it took to write 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles,' he said, 'I wrote it over the weekend.' The weekend. That shows you what he was able to do."

 

Judd Apatow: "I feel like a part of my childhood has died. Nobody made me laugh harder or more often than John Hughes."

 

Roger Ebert: "His films helped establish an international notion of ordinary American teenagers, and he was as popular abroad as at home. Once when I was visiting the largest movie theater in Calcutta, I asked if 'Star Wars' had been their most successful American film. No, I was told, it was 'Baby's Day Out,' a Hughes comedy about a baby wandering through a big city, which played for more than a year."

 

Kelly LeBrock: "He was always the biggest kid in the room. He was always running around with high top sneakers with no laces in them because he didn't want to trip on his laces because he'd never tie them. He was just one of the boys and everybody loved being around him. He was a wonderful human being to work with. I loved him like crazy."

 

Bill Paxton: "He took a tremendous chance on me. Like Orson Welles, he was a boy wonder, a director's director, a writer's writer, a filmmaker's filmmaker. He was one of the giants."

 

Ben Stein: "He was a wonderful man, a genius, a poet. I don't think anyone has come close to him as being the poet of the youth of America in the postwar period. He was to them what Shakespeare was to the Elizabethan Age."

This is Episode Fifty One.

In this episode we explore a wide range of topic again, including: Dumbledore's Deah, Cash for Clunkers, falling asleep when driving, True Blood, health care reform, Nazi Germany (briefly,) Two Married Geeks, running out of gas, jerks in movie theaters, Outside The Cinema, and much much more!

Music this week is from:
Type O Negative - "Summer Breeze"
AC/DC - "Heatseeker"
Powerman 5000 - "Walking Disaster"
Rob Zombie - "Two-Lane Blacktop"
Killer Dwarfs - "We Stand Alone"

Don't forget to check out all of the fine shows we run ads for!

Talk to you next week!

We have arrived at episode number Fifty! We have recorded (for better or worse) fifty episodes in forty four weeks. Not all of them were good, but then again what really is?

We also debate the (surprising) outrage with Hogwart's students drinking on screen, then we cap it off with a conversation about the health care reform.

Joe Satriani - "Surfing with the Alien"

Hi everyone. This week we talk about Star Trek, Night at the Museum 2 and Terminator. After that, we reveal our douche-bags of the week. and we finish up with what is probably the longest answer to an e-mail ever.

We'll be back next week with our "Land of the Lost" show!

Episode Thirty Eight: "His high exaltedness, the Great Jabba the Hutt, has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately."

Here we have episode thirty eight, in all of it's overblown, bloated, narcissistic glory!  We have an extra segment somehow in this episode and the runtime is (in Frank's opinion) "a little long."

TOO BAD!! Apparently, we had a whole lot to say this week. The reigns are off and we can talk about the worst run theater in all of New England. This is the show I've been waiting for. It didn't have all of the venom and vitriol that I wanted to include, but, you have to save some for later!

Music this week is from
Rob Zombie - "I'm Your Boogie Man"
Simple Minds - "Don't You (Forget About Me)"
Ugly Kid Joe - "Everything About You"

Welcome everyone, to the audio version of...

Episode Thirty Six: "I don't think it would be the worst thing if they let me go. Because then I might..."

     This week, we talk about some recently seen movies as well as summer releases that we are looking forward to. We make some off color jokes that may or may not be funny. We go over our douche-bags of the week as well as a "good" story that is part of a comment we made all the way back in episode number 6.

We made the breaks a little different this week and only have one song:

"V is for Vampire" by Powerman 5000

As always, our ending song is "We Stand Alone" by Killer Dwarfs.


'Till next week!

This week, since we are moving the studio to our North Shore facility, "Studio B," we thought it would be a good idea to put together another episode of "Are You Still There?"

This weeks show has the usual randomness, but with just a little bit extra thrown in for good measure!

Music this week is representative of both East and West coast Old School Punk (with just a little metal.)
Them by The Misfits
Palisades Park by The Ramones
Her Black Wings by Danzig
and
We Stand Alone by Killer Dwarfs.

We'll be back next week with an all new show!

Until then!

Hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to Episode Twenty Eight: "Harold, don't you have any other music, you know, from this century?" In this episode, we talk about a bunch of random things, including recently seen movies, the RNC and the musings of Laura Ingram.

Our main segment this week is all about music that we have that we would not readily tell people about. It's interesting what we think would be embarrassing.

Music this week is from:
Poison (Talk Dirty to Me)
Flock of Seagulls (I Ran)
Prince (Batdance)
and
Killer Dwarfs (We Stand Alone)

Our theme music is from The Fine Print

Hello and welcome to Episode Twenty: I was never a member of the Nazi Party! I only followed orders. I had nothing to do with the war!


In this podcast, we discuss some of the Holiday releases, we go over some recent (and some older) current events, then we take some time and discuss theatrical releases slated for this year. We cap it all off with a return to listener feedback, all while keeping it short!
(For once!)

With the show description out of the way, I was made aware of some problems people are having with the .m4p (enhanced) version of the show. Is anyone else experiencing issues with downloading or playback of the show?

In this show we have some music from White Zombie ("Ratfinks, Suicide Tanks And Cannibal Girls" from the album "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie"), Beck ("Girl" from the album "Guerro"), The Ghastly Ones ("Ghastly Stomp" from the album "Unearthed") and Loreena McKennitt ("The Mummer's Dance" from the album "Nights From The Alhambra")

Sit back and relax, enjoy the show!
And as always, thanks for listening.

Happy New Year everyone! This week we have a special show for you. We have taken some of the deleted sections of some of the past shows and put them together into this episode, "Are You Still There? Volume One, The Lost Sessions"

You would think that it would be easy to just string a bunch of clips together, add some music and upload it. You would be wrong. For some reason, the editing software I use decided it wanted to only convert sections of the finished show into an MP3 format. When you would listen to that version, it had no music and the beginning and end of each section was clipped off. To make matters worse, it did not save the files correctly and I could not retrieve the original files.

So, what you have here is a slightly shorter version of what was intended. It still retains the heart of the episode, but the cuts are not exactly how I wanted them.

To make up for that, and the show being a day later than usual, I decided to try something a little different. If I did everything correctly, this should be the first "enhanced podcast" that Are You Serious? has put out!

Here it is! Episode Twelve: "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it's all in the reflexes."

For this show, we are going all professional! We have a mixing board which greatly increases the sound quality! We did learn a couple of things with this show. For instance, if you keep your cell phone too close to to microphone, you will get interference. Specifically, at 20m 30sec, 54m, 1h 2sec and 1h 45sec. So, lesson learned.

We also learned that it is possible to talk for an unreasonably long amount of time.

In our record long show, we cover new releases on DVD and in the theater, I go on a rant about the biggest jerk in Hollywood and how he almost ruined Fanboys, we discuss our favorite road trip movies, and then we get all serious and talk about proposition 8 in California.

I can't recall if there are any links that I needed to include, so there aren't any.

Enjoy!
Chris

Good Luck Everyone!

Welcome back everyone!
     In another action packed episode Chris and Frank talk about one of the most fun subjects ever;
     WORK!
     First, we talk about bad jobs that we've had, then we talk about the good ones, than we talk about the bad bosses that we had.
     We have our list this week of where we would love to work (if the places were not fictional!)
     And we close out with listener e-mail.
     If it sounds like we recorded in a cave, well, we played around with the reverb slider this week.

Enjoy!
