They Came From The North

Gabe is off celebrating Canada Day in Montreal, eating delicious pastries, listening to The Tragically Hip, and having a campfire - In his place, Steve has enlisted special guest Kevin Woolridge, Esquire. They're tasked with a valiant quest against an insurmountable, unstoppable, evil; talk about fantasy films for an hour and change, or die trying. Join us as we tell tales of HIGH ADVENTURE! And Steve still manages to mention Blade Runner at least once. 

Join Steve, Gabe, and special guest Matt Avrach as they battle corruption, vile warlords, rival martial arts schools, and copious amounts of henchmen in a tournament of the martial arts! Deep dive into the holy trinity of martial arts movie masters; Lee, Chan, and Li, and touch on other martial arts masterpieces, and not-so masterpieces along the way. No Brad Pitts were harmed by Bruce Lee's in the making of this podcast, and absolutely nobody was kung-fu fightin'. 

Gabe was a chess protege from Poughkeepsie, his parents were rotational working fish breeders who never understood his passion for the great game. Steve was an inventory management specialist for a Fortune 500 before forced retirement turned him to a life of crime as an antique furniture thief. Now they’re both scouring Adelaide, Texas for Coney(Owen Wilson), a lost five pound Jack Russell terrier, old Mr Bartholomew’s (Bill Murray)  sole heir and only reminder of his late mother. The reward money is all that Gabe needs to pay his way to the intercontinental Chess Masters tournament in Spokane, and all Steve needs to pay off an angry bookie after a gator racing bet went south. If all this sounds like it could be the plot to a Wes Anderson movie? Hey! That’s great! Because we’re talking about him for the next hour or so. 

Join Steve and Gabe as they fire up the DeLorean and take you back in time to 1982 - considered by many to be the best geek year in cinema.  No ET's were harmed in the making of this episode.

  Know, O People, that between the years when Rebels struck out from a hidden base and destroyed the DEATH STAR,  and the years of the rise of Tarantino, there was an Age undreamed of, when silver screens shared worlds of epic fantasy across the land. Hither came Conan the Barbarian, sword in hand; a thief, a warrior, a gladiator, a king! Destined to dominate the box office, make a superstar out of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and introduce a generation of kids to the wider world of fantasy, swords, and sorcery. Join Steve, Jon, and Jon, as they celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of the most misunderstood, underrated, and just plain greatest films of all time. Let us tell you of the days of HIGH ADVENTURE! 

On this week's episode - Gabe and Steve bring you on a musical journey through movies that rock! Not musicals per se, but movies about Rock n Roll. Join us as we stomp or feet and bang our heads to classics and not-so- classics. If enough people listen, we could be almost famous.
