Episode 211 - Miami Vice - 30th Anniversary

Today we remember a time where a television show inspired men to wear white Italian linen suits over pastel T-shirts while wearing imported shoes with no socks.  To sport a five o'clock shadow 24/7 and to drive expensive sports cars.....well....maybe getting the cars was a little more difficult.  We are of course talking about Miami Vice, the 1984 cop show that upped the ante on the modern cop show.  For years we had different versions of gritty cops but now we had the cool cops.  From music, to fashion, to action, Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas became television stars and Miami Vice became the latest evolution of the American cop show.  Join us today as Carlos and James take a ride to Miami Vice.

Episode 208 - The Alamo vs. Kingdom of the Spiders

What's better than watching an old 70's low budget horror movie at home? Watching an old scratchy discolored 35mm print at the Alamo Drafthouse, where the audience can laugh along the unintentional funny moments of that same film.  But what elevated this experience to a higher tier of cult classic film status is it's star.....wait for it....wait for it....The Shat.  Yes, William "James Tiberius Kirk" Shatner himself is the star of that "other" 1977 film blockbuster, Kingdom of the Spiders.  Join us today at GeekFest Rants, as Carlos, Kyle, and the two Mikes attempt to escape the web of horror unleashed on our unsuspecting listeners.
