Mars Needs Podcasts #338- Enjoy It…Or Don’t

JJ — Sun, 07 Aug 2016 21:56:03 +0000

JJ and his amazing friend Jason know that comedy is subjective. The duo even start this episode by agreeing to disagree on certain horror films as well as The Three Stooges. They have also each seen a film that is divisive to a part of the geek fanbase. Did they survive? Was their childhood ruined? Listen and enjoy…or don’t.

JJ — Thu, 28 Jul 2016 01:10:34 +0000

JJ and his amazing friend Jason saw the best film about a dead body. We rap lightly rhapsodic about this wonderful foul flick as well as other wonderful things that have wandered into their paths. Special note, this was recorded before the episode with Matt Lees, so there are parts of the episode that are a little out of date. Thanks!

Mars Needs Podcasts #288- The Podcast Awakens

JJ — Sat, 15 Nov 2014 03:05:10 +0000

JJ and his amazing friend Jason are talking about what the internet is talking about. A new Star Wars title. This leads down quite the rabbit hole of Star Wars related memories. How about you? Does this bring back memories for you, or is this just more Attack of the Clones crap? Also, JJ has the worst analogy ever. Seriously, it may kill doughnuts for you forever. Ah well, this is why we can’t have nice things.

Well, as the title suggests, a certain co-host has a proclivity that was unknown until this very week. Sleep well Jason, sleep well…

No Milk Day: Magic Steve

Aaron — Fri, 04 Apr 2014 13:43:55 +0000

That’s right, we’re back! It’s 2014 so that makes it Season 2 of DOOM’s own sketch show No Milk Day and for the first sketch of the year we’re introduced to yet another street magician. Man, those guys are everywhere these days!

Preview: Flaw Fest

Aaron — Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:52:23 +0000

I think I need to start this piece by explaining a few things. First of all, this is not a review, it’s a preview. I’m telling you about something cool that is about to come out but I’m talking from a slightly biased stand-point. I know Joseph Scrimshaw, the comedian who is about to release his very funny comedy album entitled Flaw Fest. We have worked together before, performing rather silly comedy at Atlanta’s Dragon Con. I also contributed to the Kickstarter which funded this hilarious comedy album and accompanying music written by some incredibly talented musicians (some of whom I also know) inspired by Joseph’s side-splittingly funny show. In fact, in the last track of Flaw Fest, where Joseph lists off the names of those contributors, I am the first name listed. It would be underhanded of me to claim that I’m going to critique Flaw Fest from a point of neutrality. But I will tell you how awesome it is because you should listen to it because it’s great. OK?

Also, Joseph’s album Comedy of Doom is in no way connected to us here at The Website of DOOM. It’s just a weird coincidence.

The idea of the show is simple. Joseph Scrimshaw lists off all the flaws about himself in front of a live audience. It’s an unusual theme but within it he manages to connect a lot of very different stories. Particular highlights are the tale of how a real live bear ate Gummy Bears from his mouth, a rather bizarre advertisement for eggs, and a song written by him in his teenaged years called Mr Suckface. It’s that song that steers Flaw Fest into the unusual.

Joseph commissioned 10 songs from 10 different musicians. Their only guidance was to write a song based on his stories from the show. It’s heartening to see the wide range of genres and subjects that the musicians came back with. Paul & Storm, Molly Lewis, Bill Corbett, The Sevateem, John Roderick, John Munson, The Doubleclicks, Kevin Murphy, Mike Phirman, and The Dregs all provide great material as diverse as the anecdotes themselves. From Paul & Storm’s 1920s style jingle to Mike Phirman’s dance-rock song about Kaiju it goes to show just how much is going on in Flaw Fest.

Flaw Fest is available now for pre-order on Bandcamp and will “drop” on Tuesday, November 5th. For $10 I don’t think you can really go wrong for what is essentially a comedy/music double album full of the internet’s finest. For a preview check out the introduction and song from John Munson below.

The Drive-In of DOOM! – Red

JJ — Thu, 24 Oct 2013 03:28:29 +0000

Hello and welcome back to DOOM!’s exploration of the Comic Book film genre hosted by Aaron Fever and JJ Hawkins.

This month we We take a look at DC/Wildstorm comics Red. This one was requested to us by listener Jason Ritter, and we thank him very much. As we state many times in this one, it is easily the “Best. Episode. Ever.” Where else will you get such insight as which member of the “Brat Pack” is best suited to replace John Malkovich?

Dig the crazy blue threads, Mr Freeman! It actually makes the bag look sane.

I AM THE LAW! No, seriously, we call him Dredd through the whole thing, so get used to it now.

I get it, Hellen Mirren looks bad ass with a gun, but I swear, this movie could put a kid through college with the budget on bullets.
