In the most unpopular episode of the world’s most unpopular podcast, MIke and Kevin discuss some films they’ve been watching!
Among the topics discussed are: Oz: The Great and Powerful, The Amazing Spider-Man, Jack Reacher, The Great Mouse Detective, Rio, The Rescuers, Warm Bodies, Identity Thief, History of the World Part 1, Alien Nation, and Boogeyman.
The films Warm Bodies and Identity Thief are thoroughly spoiled. Also, there’s a lot of uninformed ranting coming from Mike. Good Times!
Hey how’s it going? Good, I’m fine. Here’s a podcast about 45 minutes in length in which Mike and Kevin discuss the 2000 Sam Raimi film ‘The Gift.’
Thanks!
In this episode of ‘The Concession Stand’ podcast, Kevin talks about unfair portrayals of Bigfoot in cinema and ‘The Legend of Boggy Creek.’
An episode of the Concession Stand podcast about the 2001 thriller ‘The Mothman Prophecies. Sorry for the poor audio during the opening five minute sketch. It does clear up for some smooth sailing after that.
In yet another episode of The Concession Stand podcast, Mike and Kevin and two guests (woah!) talk about the 1986 Michael Mann film ‘Manhunter.’ It’s the first appearance of Hannibal Lecter y’all!
This junk food and lack of sleep I’ve been living on for the past year is really starting to take its toll on me.
Somebody whose interests are different than yours?
A guy in my C++ class showed us a program he wrote that made theoretical cookies cost an infinite amount of money. He laughed heartily and was enthusiastic about showing us. We also laughed at this invisible concept of cookies costing an infinite amount of money.
That was going to be funny to nobody else. Not in a” you had to be there” kind of way, but in a “you know what, I’m a total nerd, and you guys are nerds and with you I can be self confident enough to think that the others around me would enjoy this silly concept as well.
My idea for a sitcom would be to take five characters and every week place them in a new setting. One week, they all work in a bakery, one week they’re all in prison, the next they are work in a biology lab, and on and on. A shifting situational comedy.
This would be an exploration (hopefully a hilarious one) of whether our interests (and maybe our personalities, but science and sociology can battle that out) come from nature or our surroundings. The story would be roughly the same but the jokes would be indigenous to the surroundings.
For instance, that joke about cookies costing an infinite amount of money is funny when your surrounded by th/e cold logic of code for so long, but would it work in an environment as random and irrational as a prison?
Last week’s episode was late so this one is early! On this episode Mike and Kevin talk about the 2008 action flick ‘Wanted’
All of my creative innovations just involve taking something that already exists and putting the word GIANT in front of it. Today I thought about what I would need to do to build a GIANT tic-tac toe board.
I thought that the novelty of the giant-ness would wear off rather quickly so we would need rule variations and more concentrated interactivity. At the end of it all i’d done is reinvent Hollywood Squares.
So now I’m thinking about a variation called GIANT Hollywood Squares.
Here is an episode of my very unpopular and unnecessary podcast “The Concession Stand”. This one is about Twilight and Twilight: New Moon.
We also talk about The Golden Girls.
On this 13 minute episode of ‘The Concession Stand’ (yet another podcast about movies), Mike talks to himself and you!
The reason people were disappointed in Big K.R.I.T’s “Live from the Underground” is that the mix tape that preceded it was so, so good. I listen to “4eva and a day” all the time. I think I need to give “Live from the Underground another chance.
Started C++ class. It’s so refreshing to take a class in which every single student is attentive and wants to be there.
This is also intimidating as they all seem to be geniuses. We had to post our hobbies on a class forum. One kid is still in high school and his hobby is “robots.” Another student was the main programmer on his high schools robotics team. Most of them are Game Design majors.
It’s a good feeling to be among the best and the brightest, right? (gulp)

I’m really starting to enjoy Tumblr as a wish fulfillment machine. Any term I type in the search box brings up some result. All tools inherit their value from the user.
I am starting my C++ class today. I am excited but I’ve been teaching it to myself for the past couple of months. I could follow in this direction but the autodidact is not given any respect until he can turn it into profit. Learning for the sake of learning is perceived the same way one perceives a jobless pothead.
“Hey, can you do the dishes?” , “Hey can you go to the grocery store?”
No, I’m learning!
Perhaps I just feel this way about myself and I’m unfairly ascribing it to the outside world. If I were to give C++ intense focus and learn it inside out the only person who would benefit would be me. If I add school to it, it legitimizes the pursuit.
Money changes everything.
Or I could write a successful app or game, and make a lot of money and then, bingo, auto-didactic tendencies validated. In the film “The Master’ a self help group has a handful or followers, by the end they have an entire school. If a small group believes your nonsense, it’s a cult, if a large group believes, it’s a religion.
However, money changing everything works the other way too. Say a creative young guy has a blog where he posts wacky, comedic gadgets he’s thought of. Say, a toaster hat. His website becomes very popular and everybody praises his ingenuity. He gets a show in Vegas where he’s gets to make money doing this, and suddenly, he’s Carrot Top and he’s a pariah.
I have wondered if some of the eccentric geniuses choose to live in isolation because they don’t fit in socially or if they just don’t want to listen to us bitch.

And that’s what I hate about school…
Instead of appreciating creativity and intelligence, they just want you to have head full of unnecessary ****.
i used to be a really smart kid who was “going places” but now i just cry a lot and eat all the food in the fridge
I want pink rope :(
