Summer Special ‘08: Independence Day
Listen as our hosts Zach and Brian give their take on the 1996 action blockbuster that single-handily marked July 4th Weekend as Big Willie Weekend. Did Bill Paxton’s — er, Pullman’s — epic speech move you as it did us? Is Randy Quaid that good at playing someone who’s batshit crazy? Also, computer viruses can apparently take down super-intelligent aliens? All this and more on the summer special of the KICK ASS movie podcast.
As always, we are taking suggestions for movies to cover, so send them our way. The KAMPC will return for its third season this September.
Season 2 Finale: Summer Movie Blowout ‘08!
I don’t know about you, but we here at the KAMPC are super excited for this summer’s blockbusters. Battling superheroes, gut-busting comedies and other cool films fill the calendar. Join our intrepid hosts Brian and Zach as they give their two cents on the films of the summer - recorded LIVE.
Thanks to all for a phenomenal second season. We have achieved a lot of great success and I personally cannot wait for season three. We will also be posting a July 4th summer special later on. See you next season!
KAMPC on TV: Sliders
We aren’t just monogamous with movies. We love other forms of media as well, especially TV. This week we talk about one of the best sci-fi shows of the 90’s: Sliders. Starring Jerry O’Connell and John Rhys Davies, the show followed the adventures of Quinn Mallory and his friends as they slide to parallel worlds with different histories, hoping one day to somehow return to their original Earth.
Brian and Zach give their favorite highlights and episodes, talk about the most agreed-upon jump the shark moment in TV history, and give a double dose of Shame.
Episode 35: The Incredibles
This week, the KAMPC ventures into new territory: animated films. And when thinking about animated ACTION films, nothing comes close to Pixar’s “The Incredibles”. A family of superheroes-in-hiding must escape the clutches of an evil supervillian named Syndrome. Not to mention there’s a ton of insane CGI animated action sequences and awesome music to boot. The movie proves that director Brad Bird (”The Iron Giant”) is a god.
Brian and Zach discuss the film, the great sequences, and announce some great news!
Episode 34: Point Break
Whoa! So Patrick Swayze isn’t going to die anytime soon. Phew. What can I say: we’re crazy for Swayze. In honor of the bad then good news, we at the KAMPC have decided to cover the 1991 surfing-meets-bank-robbery action thriller “Point Break”. Swayze plays a spiritual brah named Bodhi who has hanging ten and stealing cash on his mind. That is until Keanu Reeves, as FBI agent Johnny Utah, goes undercover to bust Bodhi and his gang of robbin’ surfers with a somewhat sane Gary Busey in tow.
Brian and Zach recap the film, reveal the Zen of Swayze and reveal their picks of the week.
