Prometheus (2012)

Our little experiment starts this week as we take a stab at reviewing the new Ridley Scott scifi-horror film, “Prometheus”. This is a free bonus cast so you can gauge what you’ll get for $1 when we do it “for real” next week. If you’ve seen the movie, you might want to take a peek at this livejournal review that analyzes some of the deeper themes involved, as Jim and I make reference to it quite a bit in the spoiler section.

Mid-Season Wrap Up

Jim and A.Ron ponder a few questions looking backward to this past half season and looking forward to the next.  Where do the survivors go next? Which was better so far, season one or season two?  Can they make the zombies scarier?  Then we process some listener feedback and talk comic spoilers in the spoiler…

Walking Dead Review – 207 – “Pretty Much Dead Already”

An unequivocably excellent episode to cap the mid-season off.  Now, of course the same things that drive me crazy about certain characters are still driving me crazy, but this episode went and took those “bugs” and made them “features”, to use programming parlance. What I mean by that is that negative character traits, which up…

Walking Dead Review – 206 – “Secrets”

Well, this is the episode where this ridiculous show roped me into another season of watching.  Unless they drop the ball really badly, like, say, crash two 737’s into each other over Herschel’s farm, I’m in. There was a lot of silly stuff, to be sure, and I think we should have been at this…

205 – “Chupacabra”

Welcome to this week’s episode of Watching Darryl Dead!  The show picks itself off, and dusts itself off after falling into a well last week, only to derail the otherwise decent episode with an ill advised headshot!  Rage along with Jim and A.Ron as we vent along with the listeners about the near tragic stupidity…

Walking Dead Review – “Chupacabra” – 205

Tonight’s episode was pretty good, and then it made me as angry as I’ve ever been at a TV show.  A hate formed inside me for a character so white hot, that I couldn’t think rationally.  I blacked out for the entire ensuing commercial break. I’m sure you know at what point and at what…

Walking Dead Review – “Cherokee Rose” – 204

Sorry for the delay, folks.  I’m traveling on business, and it did not occur to me that the hotel I was at would not have AMC.  So I had to wait for the episode to be released digitally with all the other schmucks on iTunes.  This will not impact our release of the cast tomorrow,…
