Trifecta! (Part 1 of 3)

Hey Geeks, Scott here.

Just wanted to let you know that I once again had the opportunity to co-host on the latest episode of Couch Surfing with John Pavlich on his site Sofa Dogs. You can check out the episode HERE!

Sofa Dogs Podcast #181 – Couch Surfing Ep. 36a: Trifecta! (Part 1 of 3)

Scott Carelli stops by to partake in a chat about Possession, Mystery Team and My Bloody Valentine 3D. This episode is so massive, it had to be broken up into three sections!

00:02:57 – Now that John has left Milk Carton TV, he and Scott briefly discuss a new podcast they’re involved in, “Movie Night with Geekshow“. This leads to talk of really bad films and the possible value in trying to review them as such.
00:08:42 – John gives his thoughts on the supernatural drama Possession, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Lee Pace. The film’s rocky distribution history is also discussed, as well as comparisons between the theatrical poster and the DVD box art.
00:21:17 – We go absolutely silly over Mystery Team, the first feature film from Derrick Comedy.
00:42:20 – Unfortunately, John also watched the remake of My Bloody Valentine. The greatness of Tom Atkins and Jensen Ackles aside, most of what gets discussed here is the film’s distracting, TV-like picture quality. Scott also brings up the merits of 3D with genre films like this.
00:48:25 – The works of Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier are discussed, closing out the episode as John argues in favor of the original Halloween III: Season Of The Witch.

The following artists can be heard in this episode:

The Mystery Team, Childish Bambino (Donald Glover), Michael Jackson, Andreas Alfredsson & Christian Sandquist & The Stiff Twins, Stars, Dario Marianelli, Jamin Winans, The Ting Tings, Kasabian, Kate Nash, Angels & Airwaves, A Perfect Circle, John Carpenter & Alan Howarth and Donovan.

    Don’t feel bad Scott. I saw Blade Runner for the first time just this year (loved it), along with Alien and Aliens (loved them, Alien a little better).

    I wouldn’t mind you guys talking about Empire Records, but is it really a good movie (at least the quality you seem to be looking for)?

    I loved Mystery Team, and felt the same way (about “I can do it”), really one of the few times I’ve felt this way, at least since Clerks.

    I hated My Bloody Valentine. I guess those of us who can’t see 3D were screwed. :(

    I think John did an Empire commentary for Sofadogs though.

    I do really like the move btw.
