Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

December 7, 2015

Andrew “The Commissioner” Mount “strikes” again from his hidden rebel base, this time forcing us to watch Episode V of the Star Wars saga, “The Empire Strikes Back.” Which, incidentally, depending on the age of the A.Ron you ask, is either his favoritist movie of all time, or top three. Either way, it’s a treat. Once again, Jim and I try to sort through our childhood and adult memories of this holiest of trilogies to give it the treatment it deserves. If you missed in the first time, or would like to listen again, you can check out our coverage of A New Hope, also brought to you by The Commish.

Quentin Tarantino – Death Proof

December 7, 2015

Death Proof is supposed to be so bad it’s good — but does it actually achieve the “good” part? This week, Eric and Levi discuss one of Tarantino’s most divisive films, with a little help from their friend from Germany. The talk explores which characters are likable, the merits of practical effects, and the actors that make Tarantino sing. Join us next week for Inglourious Basterds.

Days 4, 5, and 6 – 25 Days of Bald Move Christmas

December 4, 2015

Whooo! We get our weekend started off RIGHT by power slamming 3 Days of Christmas, which of course means three grabs of booze of the old tree. This led to a memorable Lunch with Jim and A.Ron, which we recorded immediately after. Well, I don’t think I’m going to remember a bit of it, but you know, it’s recorded, so there’s that. 3 days, 3 drinks, 3 new versus of our song, and we’ll see you Monday as we resume our countdown to Xmas!

508 – The Ten Commandments Killer

December 4, 2015

A.Ron and Cecily unpack the shocking revelation from this week’s American Horror Story: Hotel, “The Ten Commandments Killer”; Cecily doesn’t actually know the Ten Commandments! All kidding aside, other than the fact that we’ve seen this revelation coming, it was a perfectly fine episode of American Horror Story. Although I guess it does kind of re-contextualize Sally. And the “adultery” couple switching hotels kinda came out of no where. Never fear, we’re not above resorting to multi-verse theory to explain away any troublesome retconning or rewriting Murphy has to do to bring this beast on final approach and landing. All that, our ongoing love fest for Dennis O’Hare, and a pretty healthy mailbag, and lots of opinionated opinions coming your way!

LWJ&A – Episode 51 – Three Drink Friday

December 4, 2015

Thanks Dr. Ken for the inspiring suggestion to do our 3 Days of Christmas drinks on Friday just before LWJ&A, because it was a banging idea. This is the result. We discuss Jim’s very A.Ron Thanksgiving, Salty JW’s in our mail bag, rebound headaches, Stephen King’s deep and abiding fear of motor vehicles, Drew Carey and Bob Barker, and honestly God only knows what. We’ll be back for more of the same next Friday, so have your popcorn ready.

208 – Loplop

December 2, 2015

FARGO WINS THE WEEK! In “Loplop”, Fargo hits all the notes; comedy, drama, suspense, without ever causing any tonal conflicts, and sets the season on it’s final, no doubt bloody, and most likely weird, trajectory. It wasn’t perfect; we felt a little uncomfortable with this episode’s timelines, and geographic orientation, which we discuss in the cast proper and in feedback, but Peggy as hostage taker, Ed as gangland negotiator, and Hanzee as the anti-Malvo were all fascinating and satisfying to watch. A.Ron discusses watching Miller’s Crossing and how it has him resurrecting his old “Hanzee as a double/triple agent” theory, and Jim gets to bask a bit in the glow of his hangman notice in the previous episode memorably paying off. Lots of praise, lots of great listener email, a good time is had by all.

Day One – 25 Days of Bald Move Christmas!

December 1, 2015

We’re excited for Christmas, and we’ve decided to a bunch of cool things for our Club Bald Move members, and this is one of those things. Each (business) day we’re going to pull a shot off the old Bald Move Boozemas tree, drink it down, and then sing a verse of “The 25 Days of Bald Move Christmas”, and then gab a bit. You can suggest activities and what not via christmas@baldmove.com or on the VIP section of our forum. On each Monday there will be bonus fun because Jim and I are going to imbibe THREE shots from the tree, and then struggle through the ensuing celebration.

Thanks so much for being a Club Member, we love all of you, and we literally, sincerely could not do this without you. Merry Christmas!

209 – Ten Thirteen

December 1, 2015

Jim and A.Ron were blown away by the twist at the end of The Leftovers episode “Ten Thirteen”, which we probably should have seen coming. Kind of amazing that you can pull something like that off with millions of people obsessing and collaborating over the internet, but welcome to The Leftovers! We do a deep dive on Meg and her motivations and her spin on the Guilty Remnant, her epic show down with Matt, what is going on in Tommy’s head, what’s she using plastic explosives for, tons of listener feedback, and speculate on just where are we heading towards in what will no doubt be an epic screwjob of a season finale next week. We can’t wait!
