McDeviltoast saw Kick-Ass. Ebert didn't like it. Also: Shock Cinema on the IFC.com podcast, The Human Centipede (yes, again).
Montana saw Crispin Hellion Glover's newest film, It Is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE., and also saw Glover read from eight of his books, including Rat-Catching and Concrete Inspection. Skype (or Windows) does more weird things with Montana's mic levels. They take a moment to fix things then they're back.

Note: Montana liked the film a lot. The section where Montana mentions this was cut, likely due to the pervasive microphone issues.

Crispin Glover and Montana

Montana starts again on It Is Fine!... and Crispin Glover's book reading. McDeviltoast reveals a forthcoming package for Montana.

Montana and McDeviltoast discuss Bogart's. It used to be awesome, but is not now. Candlebox played there. McDeviltoast got gum in his hair. And phlegm later.

Episode 005: Short But Not Shorter Than the World Average

djempirical@gmail.com (djempirical@gmail.com) — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 04:33:00 PDT

We were trying to record a shorter show this week, since neither of us had a lot of time, but "short" translated to "shorter than the last couple episodes but still not short".

That's ok, I guess.

The background music this week is noisy stuff, since my dying soundcard on my skype PC was crackling a LOT. Next week I'll move to the better one.

Topics of discussion:

We mention our intent to make a short episode.
McDeviltoast hates pet gender confusion and dog parks. Montana hates dogs.
Montana an McDeviltoast, who are not avid video gamers, talk about video games. McDeviltoast has a decidedly "get off my lawn" outlook. McDeviltoast is mad that video games kept his friends from hanging out with him in China. (mentioned: Yar's Revenge, Bully, WoW, Final Fantasy, Civilization)
McDeviltoast mentions a groan moment in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. (mentioned: Blixa Bargeld in The Mummy)
Montana recommends RedLetterMedia's new review of Attack of the Clones.
McDeviltoast mentions more Stephen Sommers films. Montana remembers a quick groan moment in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. McDeviltoast talks about versions of Watchmen.
Montana & McDeviltoast got a text message request, so McDeviltoast talks about stale peeps.
McDeviltoast endurance test: QVC's John Lennon Jewelry:

Dung Chant's 18th anniversary was this past weekend. It could vote or buy porn. But no one does that. Is porn pirated more than music?
Montana mentions a discussion about the average size penis, and relates a lesson learned about googling things like that at work.
McDeviltoast wonders why boners are fobidden in films, and wonders how society might be different if that weren't the case. (mentioned: Sex and Lucia, Antichrist, Poison, Bad Lieutenant, The Piano, NYPD Blue, "It Hits the Fan")
Montana and McDeviltoast clumsily close the show.
