webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 17:02:57 +0000

Hey, the Film Pigs are all still in the same country for some reason so we figured, why not do another podcast? This episode we’re delving into the enigmatic movie star and majestic runner Tom Cruise. Plus movie news, a heartfelt session of Movie Jail, an amazing Cold Reading, a simply nail-biting Quiz that’s neck-and-neck until the end, and more!

The Film Pigs Podcast Ep. 42: Movie Vehicles

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Wed, 15 May 2013 21:02:10 +0000

We. Are. Back! That’s right, all three Film Pigs are finally back together after a long separation for all-new podcasts, starting with this episode on Movie Vehicles! This episode has got it all: the latest movie news, a riveting discussion, an impassioned courtroom drama, a weird line reading, general good-timeyness, and Todd getting really upset that the dumb game Skelton made up is totally rigged against him.

The Film Pigs Podcast #41: The Bacon – Going to the Movies

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:38:10 +0000

Todd and Falk talk about the experience of attending movies at the theater. For an hour. Enjoy. Hope this makes up for the fact that we forgot to do a podcast in February. Do you people even really care? You don’t. If you did, you would send us money.

The Film Pigs Podcast #40: 40th Anniversary Special!

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 08:56:37 +0000

Okay, it’s not really that special. But to celebrate the current trend of sex romps at the movies, Todd and Stee chat about the history of films with lots of boobs in them. Unfortunately, this is a podcast so you don’t get to see any of the boobs that they are talking about. But don’t you fret, because there is also some up-to-the-minute movie news, a star who just won’t die hard is put on trial for crimes against cinema, Martin Short makes the grade for the Nic Cage Memorial Line Reading, and much, much more! (We really want Skelton to come back. It’s kinda lonely without him.)

The Film Pigs Podcast #39: Movie Computers

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:43:12 +0000

The Film Pigs are back with their first podcast of 2013. Steve Skelton is still lost in Poland, but Steve Falk and Television’s Todd Robert Anderson press on with Podcast #39. They break the latest in movie news, discuss computers in the movies, do a cold reading from a lost eighties classic, and Todd does his best with some trivia. Also, Brad Dourif treats us to an epic monologue about rats in Vietnam. Now, that’s entertainment about entertainment!

The Film Pigs Podcast #38: Holiday Movies

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 23:46:07 +0000

With Stephen Skelton shanghaied in Poland, the Pigs that remain Stateside sit down and bang out the first structured podcast in months. That’s right! This ain’t no bacon…this is a rump roast…or something. Steve Falk and Todd Anderson discuss what makes a good holiday movie, why so many of them are bad, and why there are so many horror movies about Christmas. As if that kind of incredible conversation that nobody has ever had before isn’t enough, an unbelievably unpredictable round of movie jail will leave your head spinning, and then there’s a holiday edition of the Nic Cage Memorial Line Reading, AND a trivia game created by a listener! I don’t think a movie lover could ask for a better Christmas present! (Now, if Skelton was in country, there would be a time code list of the segments so you could skip ahead to your favorite ones. But he’s not here. Todd is lazy. So you are just going to have to wade through the boring parts to get to the gold nuggets. Tough shit.)

The Film Pigs Podcast #37: The Bacon – Todd’s Movie Career

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 22:12:28 +0000

Yes, it’s another Bacon episode. Yes, we’re talking about Todd again. Cut us some slack, we’ve been working and Falk’s been stuck in NY without power. Although, Todd usually has pretty good stories about shows he’s worked on, so this isn’t so bad.

The Film Pigs Podcast #36: The Bacon – Sampling Todd’s DVDs

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 19:22:23 +0000

Once more, unto The Bacon, dear friends! Still flying in missing Pig formation, this episode of the Film Pigs Podcast focuses on Todd Robert Anderson’s terrible mental illness: his obsession with collecting DVDs and Blu-rays. Sequestered in a room lined with shelves of plastic discs, Skelton pulls 12 random movies and demands Todd explain himself before it’s too late. It’s kind of like Intervention, but very lazy and nothing is really accomplished.

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 18:57:36 +0000

This is truly an epic episode of The Bacon on The Film Pigs Podcast. It took Todd nearly 20 minutes to conceive of this ultimate showdown. And the nice thing is, we recorded this episode in his office, where there was a multitude of DVDs to reference for accuracy. Which we did once, because we are lazy and don’t like to reach for things on high shelves.

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 19:00:43 +0000

On another very exclusive episode of The Bacon, Film Pigs Todd Robert Anderson and Stephen Skelton discuss their very favorite movie robots. Everything from Star Wars to Silent Running, from Hardware to Saturn 3, from Runaway to some other movie with really dumb low-budget robots, is covered. Plus, the never-before revealed reason as to why fellow Film Pig Stephen Falk drove cross-country to New York from Los Angeles instead of flying!

webmaster@filmpigs.com (Film Pigs) — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 03:30:27 +0000

Despondent over losing one of their own to the metropolis called New York City (in the movies, Metropolis), the Film Pigs scramble for a comforting subject in the form of Indiana Jones. This podcast is an episode of The Bacon, where the Pigs delve deep into a single subject, talk it straight into the ground, and then keep talking some more. With special guest Hilary Anderson and music by Adam Blau.

We’re back! Better late than never! Unless you hate us, in which case this is terrible news! This time, we’re talking “gags”, or gory special effects. You know, the real gross stuff that gives you that quality nausea you can’t get from computer generated barf. Plus, the latest useless movie news, a movie jail trial with a surprise twist ending, a bizarre line reading, a trivia game that is actually a honest-to-God trivia game and not some stupid nonsense made up by Skelton, and more!

Here we go again! After the stars align in our schedules, the Film Pigs return with a brand-new podcast! This time we’re talking a Hollywood staple: the Cop Movie. Expect lots of loose cannons being too close to the case, along with Movie News, Movie Jail, the Nic Cage Memorial Bizarre Line Reading, a fresh Straight to DVD Corner with Tonn Slingdog, a Cold Reading, fun and games, a squawking bird, a raccoon in a tree, and Falk’s agitated dog.

2012 being the end times and all, the Film Pigs figured we should do at least one more full-on podcast before the apocalypse.

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.

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.)

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.

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’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.

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.
