The Film Pigs Podcast Ep. 29: The Bacon – Scary Animal Movies

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 22:11:10 +0000

Poor Tonn Slingdog showed up to do his usual DTV Corner segment, but found out he was alone. No Pigs showed. In an attempt to respect the podcast’s listeners in a way the usual hosts clearly do not, Tonn yammers for nearly half an hour about some horror movies featuring killer animals he vaguely remembers. Rambling and without a real point, at least this Pigs Podcast is…well, here.

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 00:40:54 +0000

Once more unto The Bacon! We assumed the last episode of the Film Pigs Podcast featuring The Bacon would be so well received we went ahead and immediately recorded another one, Matrix-style! Since we’ve run out of hosts to interview, this episode focuses on one movie and one movie only: Road House. Possibly the greatest B-movie ever made, and a personal favorite of the hosts, you will surely be enthralled by the discussion until a polar bear falls on you. (Music by Adam Blau.)

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 23:45:12 +0000

Here comes a fresh episode of The Bacon! This time, we’re focusing on the maddening psyche of Film Pig Todd Robert Anderson. Why is he an actor? No, seriously, why is he an actor? How does he approach his craft? When is it kind of pointless to use “craft” on set? What movies excited him as a child? Why don’t movies excite him in the same way now? What is the root of his terrible DVD collecting problem? Why won’t we stop asking him so many questions? Plus, where’s Falk? (As always, awesome music by Adam Blau.)

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:14:12 +0000

A little late but worth the wait, the Film Pigs are back and we’re talking Coen Brothers – their movies we love, the ones we don’t get, and the few that just don’t work. Plus, a long talked about but never before accused addition to Movie Jail, a very Stormarey bizarre line reading, the triumphant return of Straight to DVD Corner with Tonn Slingdog, a trivia game that’s actually a real trivia game and not total nonsense, and more!

The Film Pigs are back and we’re talking zombies! Slow zombies, fast zombies, angry zombies, blasé zombies, and even a few things that may or may not be zombies. And, yes, it’s impossible to talk about zombie movies without eventually discussing The Walking Dead, so add TV zombies in there as well. Plus, more of the stuff you love (or hate, we really don’t know): Movie News, Movie Jail, The Nic Cage Memorial Bizarre Line Reading, a Cold Reading, a rousing game of What’s Your Opinion?!, and – somehow, impossibly – not a single Cranberries joke.

The Film Pigs Podcast Ep. 21: The Bacon – Stephen Skelton

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 23:11:43 +0000

We’re back with another exciting episode of The Bacon, where the Film Pigs veer off their regular format to focus in on a particular subject. This episode, we batten down the hatches and steam full speed ahead into Stephen Skelton, even though we know it’s very rude to batten down hatches and run full steam into someone. Insightful questions lead to perplexing answers about how someone could possibly drive band nerds away with something even nerdier, an example of how Roger Moore is awesome and Jean-Claude Van Damme is kind of a dick, and a truly haunting selection for a threesome.

We cast off our regular podcast format and delve deep into the mysterious psyche of Stephen Falk, whom we get to know on a deep personal level within the confines of the 37-minute running time.

The Film Pigs Podcast Ep. 2: Shaky Cam

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 23:47:44 +0000

We’re back with a brand-new Podcast, discussing all things movies and movie news! This week’s subject of ire is the shaky cam and how it’s become an annoying crutch used by filmmakers to convey frantic tension without having to actually craft a scene.

Also, as a bonus service to our listeners, at 7 points during the recording this podcast contains a meta commentary on how technology is advancing at such a rapid pace it is often difficult to tell when such technologies will conflict with each other. It is NOT a stupid mistake of putting an iPhone too close to powered speakers.

This time, on a very special episode of The Film Pigs Podcast:

Insightful analysis of recent movie news.
- 4:54 – 8 seconds of meta commentary on cell phone noise. NOT a mistake.
- 7:20 – 8 seconds of meta commentary on cell phone noise. NOT a rookie error.
A rant on shaky cam as director’s crutch by host Stephen Skelton.
- 13:47 – 3 seconds of meta commentary on cell phone noise. NOT a dummy who forgot to turn off his phone.
- 17:33 – 11 seconds of meta commentary on cell phone noise. NOT a…oh, who are we kidding?
We send someone to Movie Jail.
The Nic Cage Memorial Bizarre Line Reading
- 28:30 – 5 seconds of meta commentary on cell phone noise. Feeling stupid.
Tonn Slingdog’s DVD Corner
- 32:46 – 9 seconds of meta commentary on cell phone noise. Feeling really stupid.
- 33:53 – 3 seconds of meta commentary on cell phone noise. Now just irritated.
