0 Episode 15 – “The Night of Judging”
Merry Christmas from the future, listeners!
Rather than try to sneak away from family activities on Christmas Eve, I’ve opted to just give you all three Christmas presents now … as long as you ignore the fact that I’ve already posted the Mic Checks, and that the episode usually drops on Friday anyway.
That’s right! You get the post episode bonus track early, so you’ll have plenty to listen to between activities at home with the family. That’s near two hours worth of filler as you wait for dinner, or whatever your family does on Christmas night.
So go check out both the Mic Check and Post Episode Conversation in the Bonus Tracks Archive, and check out this week’s episode, either in the Episode Archive, or on iTunes!
Happy Holidays, and we’ll see you in the new year!
0 Episode 15 – ‘Tis the season to listen to bonus tracks
Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve!
We’re so close to Christmas that I can even smell it! Or perhaps the proximity is reasonable enough that I am aptly excited for the gift-exchanging madness (not the returning of gifts, but the trade on Christmas morn.
To cut a long story short [“Too late”], we had a fantastic taping last night (yes, yes, another Wednesday show) with Angie Gauer, in from NYC, and Matt Walstead, out of Pawn America. Definitely make sure to check out Saturday’s bonus track, as it involves “The Night of Judging”. Great story.
Until then, check out this week’s Mic Check in the Bonus Tracks Archive!
0 What do you mean you taped on a Wednesday?
I know, right?
I do need to apologize for taking so long to get all of Episode 14’s content up this week. I’ve set it up where I do not work Mondays and Fridays, and all of this extra sleeping is making me sleepy. Viscious cycle, but that’s not the point.
The point is we have a lot of new content for you this week! First, as per usual, we have a great mic check, where I regailed the guests with stories of my days as a mascot. I may post pictures tied to that … if you’re good. Mayhaps a Christmas gift for all you good kiddos. And I just saw “Arthur Christmas”, so I am chock full of Christmas cheer. Funny, imaginative Christmas film I know I’ll be watching near-yearly, along with “Muppet Christmas Carol”, “Muppet Family Christmas”, “Santabear’s High Flying Adventure”, and “Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol”. Good times.
I think we’re taping on Wednesday again this week, but we’ll know for sure Tuesday night. Until then, check out the Bonus Tracks Archive and Episode Archive for all of the new Episode 14 content!
0 Episode 13 – Why do I keep calling it ‘Episode 12’?
Happy Thursday, December 8th, all!
First, I will admit now that I forgot to snap a photo of our guests for this week. My fault. Duly noted.
Moving past that, we have opted for our official game for “Buffering …”! We will be using Adam’s “Movie Bluff” game moving forward, and if you have any ideas on improving it in the future, please let us know on here, or on Twitter. We want to create a game that you can play with your friends will little prep or upkeep, so let us know how we can improve the product we have created for YOU!
This week’s episode was really fun to tape this week, with two BRAND SPANKIN’ NEW GUESTS, never before recorded by our microphones, so make sure and check that out tomorrow, but, as usual, we have a Mic Check bonus track for you to check out to gear you up for tomorrow.
It’s already stashed in the Bonus Track Archives, so go check it out!
Oh, and we’re working to include Flash players for each Bonus Track now so you can listen without an MP3 encoder on your computer. We already have it set up in the Episode Archive, but we’ll also have it soon for the Bonus Tracks. Technology, woo!
0 Episode 12 – Month Number 12, Episode 12
Happy December, everyone! We are having a blast and a half in the studio this month, now that we’re finally working on our new games.
You didn’t know? Oh, right. We’ve been working off of the “Leonard Maltin Game”, made famous by Doug Benson of the “Doug Loves Movies” podcast, among other things, but our goal was to have our own thing. We lucked out! We got two! We play both on this week’s episode, which’ll drop tomorrow, but today’s bonus track is Dan, Adam, and guests Katie Best and Peter Jurgensen, giving Adam’s game a dry run to ensure its success for the episode itself.
But … but … there’s more! There are TWO bonus tracks available today! We hit the record button early, to allow Peter and Katie to get comfortable with their microphones, and had a great 20 minutes of chatting, pizza-ing, and Dan standing in the kitchen, enunciating aggressively in the hopes that his audio would get picked up from afar.
Right. Well, tomorrow, the new episode will be up, but until then, check out the new bonus tracks in the Bonus Tracks Archive.
0 Happy Turkey Day, Kaiser Soze!
A happy day before Black Friday to everyone!
This week we messed with the format, and the main episode will be comprised of loads of Bonus Track type material (Leonard Maltin Game, Build a Title, etc.) but we knew we couldn’t stop ourselves from also doing a Mic Check to start the night off. You can find that in the Bonus Track Archive! Check it out! We went for way too timely on this one, and listed that which we were thankful for for Thanksgiving, but we had a lot of fun with it.
On top of that, I also screened the intro to “Dan VS”, a show I recently discovered via iTunes, and have immediately absorbed. I recommend you check it out for yourself and enjoy!
Finally, thank you to everyone who submitted a sentence to Adam’s bio. It has been updated on the About: The Hosts page on the site. We also read it to Adam, and let him try to figure out who submitted what. It was pretty fun, and you can find that audio on the The Hosts page as well. Your new assignment is to go on to Facebook, if you’re friends with Adam, and find the photo you want to accompany his biography. Let’s try to get another week or so turnaround on this.
0 Happy Thanksgiving Week, ya’ll!
Hey, hey, hey.
How’s everyone’s snowy Sunday going (assuming you are in the Twin Cities as you read this)? As a result, decorations are going up in the Frank Oz Memorial Studio for a holiday I am not allowed to mention until Friday, November 25th at 12:00 a.m.
Here’s the whole shebang for you:
First, I’ve posted the bonus Build-a-Title game in the Bonus Tracks Archive. Yes, it seems as if our games completely rip off “Doug Loves Movies“, but our game is almost done. I’m hoping to have the rules tacked down before the New Year. Probably something along the lines of “Scene It”, mixing in music trivia. We’ll take your ideas too.
Second, we SHOULD have an episode for Black Friday, but guests are not yet tacked down, so I can only advertise that we’ll have something for you to listen to as you stand outside at Midnight on Friday morning, waiting for IKEA to open so you can get that free Swedish Meatball with the purchase of a Billy bookcase (or whatever deals they’re offering these days).
Third, THANK YOU for listening to us for 10 episodes so far. We love everything we do each week to bring you +2 hours of content each week, and we know we’ll keep having that fun until we sell out.
0 Episode 10 – Mic Checks
Hi-diddly-ho there, listenerinos!
(On a Flanders kick after receiving a sermon from a Target cashier at lunch today.)
We’ve finally hit double digit episodes with “Buffering …”! Ten weeks ago we taped our first episode, and have launched at least 20 hours of episodes and bonus tracks since! Go team!
This week, we had Kristin Johnson on the show, who worked with Adam at the radio station at Luther College, and made for an excellent guest. To kick off this week, I’ve posted the new Mic Check to the Bonus Track Archive, as well as the RiffTrax from last week that I promised. If you check out the RiffTrax, I have posted the audio track as the link for the Show Name, and a link to the Netflix Instant Streaming video on the Episode Name. We try to give you a good heads up to sync the audio and video.
Until then, check out the new Mic Checks at the Bonus Track Archive!
0 Episode 9 – Captain Mic Check, AWAY!
Hola, my compatriots.
Hope that you are having an excellent week so far. I know I am. This week’s episode was fun, as always, to tape. It’s always great to have Matt Walstead on for an episode, and I’m glad we got Dave Wheeler in once more before he moves back down south until 2012.
This week, we will not have a bonus Leonard Maltin game for you, as we started a lot later than we like to on a weeknight, but we did tape two RiffTrax that you will be able to listen to along side an active Netflix account.
Until then, check out this week’s Mic Checks!
0 Episode 8 – A new month, a new bonus track
We have completed so much, you guys!
The web site looks so much better! We’re available on iTunes!!! And I’ve maintained my sanity throughout the entire process! It’s Win-Win-Win … Win.
We had another of our “quiet” episodes this week, where our guest, Robbie Kjelland, was our only guest. You can look at it as the other half of Episode 6. But Robbie was an excellent guest. Oh yes. We had a lot of fun with her, and we know we’ll have her back on.
For our Bonus Track Mic Check this week, we opted to pay tribute to Tom Keith of MPR and “Prairie Home Companion” fame, by discussing our favorite sound effects, and which movie we’d foley, if given the opportunity (and a time machine).
You’ll notice on the Bonus Track page (once you reach it) that there will not be a bonus Leonard Maltin Game this week, but fear not. This week’s episode is long enough to cater to a standard episode and bonus track rolled into one. We’ll try to get something going to give you an extra bonus track down the line (if we ever get that RiffTrax coordinated).
Until then, check out this week’s Mic Check on the Bonus Track page!
