XMEN: Apocalypse & Ranking the XMEN Movies - NTH69

an NthCast Production — Tue, 07 Jun 2016 16:00:00 -0500

Uh oh...69! We laud Xmen: Apocalypse copiously...we can't even type that with a straight face. We understand that you may have been OK with the film or even liked it, but there was just too much wrong with it to ignore the fact that Brian Singer needs to stop directing Xmen movies. Period. We take time to rank the Xmen movies. We do discuss the elements of Apocalypse that we did like (there were a few), and come to the conclusion that we won't stop watching, but just hope that the franchise gets back on track. Give us a shout! Josh - twitter.com/nthcast or josh@nthcast.com JD- twitter.com/nthcastmetal or jd@nthcast.com Thanks for listening!

Preacher: Does the Pilot Capture the Right Tone? - NTH68

an NthCast Production — Thu, 26 May 2016 13:00:00 -0500

Make sure you subscribe to our 'Fear The NthCast' podcast at nthcast.com/fear. We will be covering every episode of Preacher on that show! We thoroughly enjoyed the Preacher pilot on AMC, but does it capture the tone of the comic book? There are a number of changes and we discuss whether that's OK, not going to work, or is it too soon to tell. We try hard to not drop spoilers for the Preacher source material because it needs to be experienced if you haven't had a chance to read it. Go get it! We also discuss what other comic book adaptations we'd like to see now that Preacher has finally made it to the small screen.

an NthCast Production — Sat, 14 May 2016 00:00:00 -0500

Captain America: Civil War answered many questions, but it asked a lot of questions that we want to know where the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going next. Was Zemo the best villain? Was he the real villain? Do the Accords apply to all the 'Enhanced'?....and so many more. We want to hear from you!

Voice Acting: Favorite Voice Over Performances & How The Jungle Book Came Alive! - NTH66

an NthCast Production — Fri, 06 May 2016 13:00:00 -0500

We delve into the world of Voice Acting with a look at the newest adaptation of the Jungle Book. It was so much better that we expected it to be because the voice acting made the characters come alive. But we don't stop there, we thought that it would be fun to watch the documentary, I Know That Voice, on Netflix. It really pulls back the curtain on the voice acting industry and let us not only match faces with voices but we get to see all the hard work that goes into this craft that tends to be taken for granted. Finally, we discuss some of our favorite all time vocal performances. So sit back, relax, and let us do all the talking...Thanks for listening! We want to hear from you!

an NthCast Production — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 12:00:00 -0500

61: The boys are back and have something to say about Batman v Superman! Although, they're not sure where to start... It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible.

Once upon a time there were two bearded weirdos or beardos, as some would say, who decided they would take a break from their normal madness to discuss fairy tales. Yeah, that's right we dig fairy tales. Mainly because most are rather gruesome and downright grim when you get right down to it...(see what I did there?) So join us as we discuss the movie ' The Brothers Grimm', the ABC TV series 'Once Upon a Time', and maybe we throw in some literature talk as well. And we all know how much you enjoy that...

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation - NTH37

an NthCast Production — Thu, 06 Aug 2015 11:00:00 -0500

Is Mission Impossible:Rogue Nation the best movie of the summer? Is it better than Mad Max: Fury Road? Is it better than the Bourne movies or even James Bond?

Star Wars vs Star Trek - NTH36

an NthCast Production — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 11:00:00 -0500

Star Wars vs Star Trek...I'm not sure why we thought this was a good idea, but we tried to take opposing sides in the nerd debate of the ages. Did we bring honor to the respective franchises or did we fail miserably? And Spock vs Darth Vader? Really? How does that even work in the real world? We'll try harder on the next episode... We should've just watched 'The Carbonite Maneuver' and been done with this whole thing...https://youtu.be/IuYhjAXIAro Let's chat via Twitter or Email: Josh - twitter.com/nthcast or josh@nthcast.com JD- twitter.com/nthcastmetal or jd@nthcast.com Thanks for listening!

an NthCast Production — Thu, 23 Jul 2015 05:00:00 -0500

Episode 35: Ant-Man, a Metal Minute, & the Austin Cobra... Ant-man was a fun ride! Great casting (Paul Rudd made us a little nervous, but he pulled it off!), great story, and cool action made for an enjoyable summer flick. JD gives us a less than glowing recommendation of the new Coal Chamber album...And why the hell was there a cobra loose in Austin, TX?! Read up on the Austin Cobra -http://www.texasmonthly.com/daily-post/let-us-remember-austin-cobra And apparently, if you're saying at the Ritz Carlton in Abu Dhabi, you can get you a camel milkshakes -http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/10166824/Camel-milk-latte-anyone.html (Why wouldn't you?)

an NthCast Production — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 11:00:00 -0500

We also talk about the plethora of movie trailers released at this year's San Diego Comic Con. (Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Deadpool, Ash v Evil Dead, X-men: Apocalypse)...

Knights of Badassdom & Pineapples

an NthCast Production — Tue, 31 Mar 2015 13:00:00 -0500

Episode 20 Stock up on pineapples while you can. After this episode goes viral, there's going to be a run on the damn things and you'll be left out in the cold... Show Notes: 1 - We continue discussing Helix with episode 6. Great show if you aren't watching. If you like 'zombie' shows, this will be right of your alley. 2 - JD tries to convince Josh that Knights of Badassdom is worth a look. Not sure he succeeded. 3 - Still looking for the answer to what the original 'Scarface' movie was titled.

Anti-Heroes At The Movies [anti-heroes]

an NthCast Production — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 11:00:00 -0500

Episode 19 Anti-heroes week concludes! Movie day is always the best day...So many great anti-heroes in film that we couldn't possible cover them all. We want to hear from you. Agree or disagree on the examples we talk about or to let us know, 'Hey, dumbass, you forgot the best one!' Show Notes; 1- Josh is up to his old tricks again...Gordon Gecko is the character played by Michael Douglas in 'Wall Street'. And oddly enough, Gordon Gecko is also an anti-hero. 'Greed is good.' Yikes... Seth Gecko's brother in 'From Dusk Till Dawn' is Richie. How could I forget that scene where Juliette Lewis asks the Richie character to perform the holiest of tasks... 2 - Do yourself a favor and check out the Shaykcast podcast crew. Love these guys. Good call on Machete! Hear them here: https://soundcloud.com/shaykcast 3 - Thanks to Pods Unknown for the Jack Burton suggestion. How did we forget the 'ol Pork Chop Express. Thanks guys! Catch them on Twitter at PodsUnknown . Give them a shout. Tell 'em we sent you. 4 - Did you catch the reference to sending you some swag? You have to get the answer right. It's not as easy as you think.... Thanks for listening and your support. -Josh & JD

Operation:Mindcrime of the Century [dystopia]

an NthCast Production — Tue, 03 Feb 2015 06:00:00 -0500

If you haven't figured it out yet, we like metal... There are quite a few bands and songs that fit into the 'Dystopian' category, but we like one better than all the rest. Show Notes: 1- Save your breath. We know what the hell 'Sludge' metal is. We just don't care for the term. Deal with it.

For Whom The Saved By The Bell Tolls [robots]

an NthCast Production — Fri, 30 Jan 2015 05:00:00 -0500

Robot Week continues with TV day! Whether it’s KITT, Rosie, Bender, or the Transformers, there's no shortage of fine examples of robots on the idiot box...but we chose none of those and instead we phone this episode in with the most ridiculous robot in any medium... Show Notes: 1 - Zoinks! It's F'ing Kevin from 'Saved by the Bell' folks... (What were we thinking?) I'm guessing Screech didn't win the Nobel Prize for this masterpiece in robotic engineering because, clearly, it's a complete rip-off of Johnny 5 from 'Short Circuit. But I digress... 2 - 'Saved By The Bell' is on Netflix and if you feel the need to see Kevin in action (or more accurately, trying to get Screech some action), watch Season 1, Episode 10: "Beauty and the Screech". You'll be changed for the better... 3 - Tiffani Amber Thiessen was never in 'Baywatch'. Josh was wrong and it won't be the last time. 4 - Knight Rider 2000 (not 3000) was filmed in San Antonio. I told you Josh would be wrong again. Just didn't think it would be so soon. Maybe the best scene from Knight Rider 2000 will make up for it? It has James Doohan in it. As himself. Seriously. youtu.be/j_hTfu3h1y0 5 - Now Let's cleanse the palette. If you feel the need to dive deeper in the wonderful world of TV robots, Gawker.com has a great piece on the Icons of the small screen. Enjoy...goo.gl/Qj0YtC Leave a comment or give us a shout on Twitter or Facebook. We'd like to get your feedback! - Josh & J.D. P.S. - We're sorry for this episode. And promise to do better next time.

A Hitchhker's Guide To I, Robot [robots]

an NthCast Production — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 04:00:00 -0500

We like books, you like books...so let's get lit! (See what we did there?)Robot Week continues... Leave a comment or give us a shout on Twitter or Facebook. We'd like to get your feedback! - Josh & J.D. Show Notes: 1 - "I, Robot: The Illustrated Screenplay" by Harlan Ellison Some say is the best sci-fi movie never made. You decide. 2 - "Life. Loathe it or ignore it. You can't like it." - Marvin the Paranoid Android Read 'The Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy' series by Douglas Adams for more Marvin. 3 - If you aren't depressed enough after all that...'I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream' by Harlan Ellison will get you there. It won a Hugo in 1968. So there's that.
