An episode so good I had to give it to y'all a day early. For this episode, our dynamic hosts are joined by one Nick of Random Ramblings of a Demented Doorknob. We attempt to pull off a The Challenge of... feminine proportions. Then we get into our main discussion: people's fascination with aliens in movies along with our Top 3 Favorite Non-Alien Franchise Alien Movies. It's a great discussion that begins with ponderings of the fear of the unknown... and ends with horny vacuum cleaners.
Then we get into... The Leaning Tower of the Demented! Our fantastic host takes us through a hilarious 2-man show that is certainly something you don't want to miss.

Great Episode of The Demented Podcast or The Greatest Episode of The Demented Podcast?
ReplyDeleteI suppose that truly is the question.
ReplyDeleteListening to this complete masterpiece, I'm kicking myself for not bringing up ALIEN NATION... It wouldn't have made my list (even as an honorable mention), but definitely should have been part of the conversation.
ReplyDeleteBest. Episode. of ANY Podcast. Ever!
ReplyDeleteC'mon people! Leave more comments! DAMMIT!

That was truly an epic of epic proportions. And Nick was right about one thing - I sure as hell don't want to play his version of the Tower no more. I want Go-Go Juice Points!
ReplyDeleteOne of y'all said something about there not being a lot of 'friendly alien invasion' movies and that got me thinking. A) there are a lot and B) it seems like they all came out in the 80s. I'm not a subject matter expert here and I haven't even seen all of these, so I may be wrong, but here are some I thought of while listening (I realize kids' flicks will often not be evil, but whatever):
Cocoon
Starman
Flight of the Navigator
E.T.
Mac and Me
Batteries not included
Men in Black 1 and 2 (more friendlies than non-friendlies)
The Last Mimzy
Knowing (ok, that's a stretch)
And I've forgotten some, I'm sure.
Anyway, awesome episode. New favorite! I hope I make the next Battle Royale, along with the players from this ep...and more importantly, the host. :D
I was really tired when I started listening to this episode, and spent a good fifteen minutes hopelessly confused before looking at my iPod and realising it came out on April 1st. Now I just feel like an idiot
ReplyDeleteGreat episode guys! Nick, when you said you were so excited about the episode, you'd release a day early, it didn't occur to me what day that would be until I started listening.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Dylan. Stamina will no longer be enough: I want Go-Go Juice!
Sorry, Rach... a day late! I recorded the next episode early (yesterday). But I'll try to remember to read this on the following episode.
ReplyDeleteAnd damn you, Nolahn! :P
