ASF Episode #7 -The Metaphor Suit

20 January 2010


This week, we review the new movie available on Roku, BIG FAN, starring Patton Oswalt and have so much fun doing it that we unintentionally also review YOUTH IN REVOLT.  We verbally assault Kick Ass, the movie and the comic, but Matt actually convinces Chris that Mark Miller still has more cred than Chris Cornell and a bottle of crystal skull vodka combined.

Listen to Matt react indifferently to the some of the greatest superhero comics of all time.

Listen to Chris furiously rage against the sad state of comics dealers in the state of Upper Valley and the physical realm.

Learn what is the most embarrassing comics in our collections, our favorite Santas, and the biggest mistakes we’ve ever made in comics… this week.

It turns out it takes more than two to make a thing go right. Here’s a list:

Put on a Happy Face (http://toddalcott NULL.livejournal NULL.com/282793 NULL.html) (article about the same “New Cover” phenomenon)

Youth in Revolt (http://www NULL.movieweb NULL.com/movie/FIa9vgfgfpRzdb) (movie) (Yes, I know it was a book first! So was everything!)

The Wrestler (http://www NULL.imdb NULL.com/title/tt1125849/) (movie)

Oh Yeah, and apparently we make the sinful mistake of saying Jim Belushi (http://www NULL.veoh NULL.com/browse/videos/category/entertainment/watch/v15795323Aa7DNdWA#) instead of Jon.  Such errors are the reason he has a career at all. It was a stupid mistake, we were drunk, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.  We’re sorry.

Matt and Chris build a better lightbox using discounted LED Xmas netting and prefrosted plexiglass.  It’s amazing what you can do with some scrap wood, staples, liquid nails, and nothing better to do.


Jug Band Fraud Episode #1 (And only)

Radical Warren’s camera can record video. Radical Warren has a little brother. Some of his toys are, shall we say… irresistible.

It was Denise’s idea to post this on ASF.   Sure, it’s intended to be a one time thing, but who knows.  Maybe, just maybe, the Warrens will break out the jaw harp and coffee can drum.

Pass this vid around. Go ahead. Go nuts.
