Taking a BITE out of Pop Culture!

Thursday, May 29, 2014

What's the Date? NO, THE YEAR!? THE YEAR!?

Zombie vs Shark decided to finally take on a subject of much debate and...frankly, technically over our heads. This week the gang discusses time travel in pop culture, with The Mothra Effect!  Seeing as how we are not the experts, here are two highly knowledgeable individuals in the field of time travel...
Ladies and gentlemen, Doc Brown!


"Obviously, the time continuum has been disrupted creating this new temporal event sequence resulting in this alternate reality.  Here, here, here. Let me illustrate...

Imagine that this line represents time.  Here's the present, 1985, the future, and the past.  Prior to this point in time, somewhere in the past the time line skewed into this tangent creating an alternate 1985.  Alternate to you, me, and Einstein but reality for everyone else."

Thank you, Doc Brown. Now, let us hear from our other expert in the field of time travel...
Doctor Who? Uh, Doctor, can you explain time travel to us?


You know what, just tune in now and listen to what the non-experts have to say on the subject.  If you don't enjoy the episode, you can always go back in time and stop yourself from listening to it...we think.
Finally, as a bonus, the guys wanted to add this fun and interesting video clip for the fans to ponder on.  Is this a real time traveler caught on film?

Movie? What Movie?


We here at Zombie vs Shark are not really sure how mabny people really remember this film.  At the time of its release (1984), the biggest name attached to the film was Omar Sharif!  However, it was an unknown actor by the name of Val Kilmer who stole the show.


Top Secret! is a wonderful spoof on the American falling in with rebels of Nazi Germany during World War II. The Zucker Bros (Airplane! & The Naked Gun) and Jim Abrahams (Kentucky Fried Movie & Hot Shots!) gives us a fun film full of hilarious sight gags, funny dialogue and one dog poop joke.  Re-discover this classic comedy spoof! Check out the original trailer below, then listen to our Audio Commentary of Top Secret!

The Turn of the Millenium


Last season the boys, sort of, came up with a show topic by accident. Just hanging out and working on the Plan B Studio remodel, Jaye and Tony, decided to turn the mics on and get a little nostalgic.  They spoke all about the pop culture of 1989...and just like that, they were off and running. The ZvS version of 'I love the 19(insert year). Next time they got together to turn the pages back, 1994 was the year of choice.
So now the boys return to the year 1999 (some technical difficulties may occur). Wednesdays with Cleetus takes a look at some of the popular movies, songs and books of the day; but it also dives a little more into the lives of the ZvS crew at the time.  Some fun and 'interesting' glimpses are provided for your listening pleasure.  The next year that the guys will cover will probably take us back to the 80s.  But let us know if you have a particular year in mind. We would love to hear from you.

You're the Disease, I'm the Cure!


Slow motion walking away from an explosion like it is an everyday occurrence. Killing hundreds of nameless henchmen and then grabbing a hot dog from your favorite hot dog stand. The old, white guys is the boss; but his #1 henchmen is a super badass that kicks everyone's asses in one punch...until the final fight sequence. Hmm, what else describes 80's action flicks...oh yeah! GUNS, MUSCLES, GUNS, GUNS, MUSCLES and a few more GUNS then MUSCLES!


The gang welcomes Junior Bruce (of CINEplexed and The Junior & Leo Show podcasts) back to Plan B Studio for a look at what makes 80's action flicks special and unique! What Every Last Knuckle brings to the fans is Jaye's boggled mind of how anyone likes these types of films and the beginnings of a love letter to the genre from both Tony and Junior. Either way, something is gonna explode!
And click on the links above to check out Junior's awesome, but not as awesome as ours, podcasts!
