Episode Two Hundred One: "We are now three months into the year of our Lord, 2023. At this moment of our civilization, we can create cybernetic individuals, who in just a few short years will be completely indistinguishable from us. Which leads to an obvious conclusion: WE are the gods now." This episode was going to be a (spoiler filled) bonus episode, but it got a little longer than expected and with Chris getting sick, it was best to release the Prometheus discussion as it's own episode. Everything, including Reverend Scott will be back to normal next week. All the talk about Prometheus is based off of my one viewing and will of course take into consideration my take on the events, however they may clash with what the filmmaker may say they intended. We all take something different into movies and we can all get something different out of it. Please, feel free to disagree! Music is from: The Art of War - "Intro" and "outro" themes.

We talk for a while about what we like best about the show and (maybe) joke around about what we hate. We end the show with 100 greatest movie quotes in 200 seconds, not the talk about Prometheus - that will be a separate bonus show.

We cover some other topics, but discussing immigration and a lot of things associated with reform and illegal aliens take up a large portion of the show.

Episode One Hundred Ninety: "Did you get to the part yet where they say that science hasn't proven anything?" To celebrate Chris' birthday we have decided to watch one of the most disturbing documentaries ever filmed; "Jesus Camp." Some trivia that you might find interesting:In November 2006, a male prostitute alleged that pastor Ted Haggard (president of the National Association of Evangelicals) had paid him for sex for three years and had also purchased and used crystal methamphetamine. Haggard acknowledged some of the allegations and was removed from all of his leadership positions in religious organizations, including the church he founded. Since the making of the film, Becky Fischer, children's pastor for Kids on Fire, announced that due to negative reactions to the camp after the film, including telephone calls and vandalism, the camp, which was held once a year for three weeks, has been discontinued indefinitely and will be replaced by other events.

Episode One Hundred Sixty Four: "Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The ones who see things differently. While some may see crazy, we see genius." This episode, remembering Steve Jobs. We also talk about some other stuff. Would you pay $59.99 to watch "Tower Heist" at home. Me either. An Italian man rips his own eyes out during Mass. Your choice, prison or a year of attending Church. Your choice in Alabama. That sounds constitutional. Erin Burnett purposely misleads CNN viewers about the Occupy Wall Street Protests. Here's one Wall Street Protester that will never show up on Fox News.

Episode One Hundred Sixty Three: "Simple, Penfold. I'll just dial 163 for a talking confession." This week, we talk about some of the new shows that premiered this week, then we get into news stories that we've been sitting on since we started the Star Wars commentaries. We talk about the Occupy Wall Street protests, what has happened to the GOP and the people that attend the debates. We have a little audio from Rush Limbaugh, remember him? Some religious stories and a story about President Obama's drunk driving Uncle, and a whole lot more. It should be interesting.

Episode One Hundred Sixty Two: "OK, we're even. 3 years of this. I don't think I have many lines left." Welcome to our three year anniversary (birthday) episode. We talk a little about how the show came to be, but the bulk of the episode is spent talking about one of our favorite thing. Coincidentally, some of those favorite things cause us to argue, a lot. We revisit a couple of the early episodes and discuss how one million moms can ruin everybody's fun. I will update the show notes tomorrow, because I want to give credit, but suffice to say for now, thank you. It was very humbling and greatly appreciated.

Episode One Hundred Sixty One: "Lord Vader, this is an unexpected pleasure. We are honored by your presence.." This week, we finish out the original Star Wars trilogy with episode IV, Return of the Jedi. A small glitch forced us to abandon the special edition version after the climactic duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. We pick up right where we left off with the unaltered original version. Keep listening for feedback and a very special episode of "Scenes the way they should have happened" written by and starring Reverend Scott. Music is from "The Art of War." Call us at 206-338-3094 or write [email protected] Next week is our 3 year anniversary. You don't have to do anything special, or call or write in... just sayin'. Three years without missing a week. That's a long time. Kind of a big deal.

Episode One Hundred Sixty: "That's it, the rebels are there." This week, we take another week off from news and crazy stories to give you another profanity filled Star Wars commentary. This time, we tackle Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Next week, we'll tackle Return of the Jedi. Send feedback to [email protected] or call 206-338-3094

Episode One Hundred Fifty Nine: "I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion." This week Chris and Frank forgo the usual news, politics, religion and stupidity and offer up a change: running commentary for Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Why? Well, to be honest, why not? The commentary has some good parts, but there is a lot of name calling and crude words. So, pretty much par for the course, I guess. We hope you enjoy it. Next week, we will be tackling The Empire Strikes Back and the week after will be Return of the Jedi. Then the episode after, will feature a detailed review of the blu-ray releases.

Episode One Hundred Fifty Eight: "Oh they will know about it, Burke. From me. Just like they'll know that you were responsible for the deaths if 158 colonists here." Question: Should everyone involved in the 9/11 attacks be labeled as heroes? There were heroes to be sure, but there were victims as well. Does calling everyone a hero lessen the impact of the word? Des is lessen the acts of those that ran in the buildings when others were running out? Does it elevate the victims to a level that maybe they shouldn't be at? Frank raises the question and it's not as easy an answer as you might think. Also, we start this episode with some real movie reviews, with grades and everything! Father of the year locks his daughters in a room for 41 years. 9/11 documentary glorifies Bush, not concerned with facts. 10 myths about television that people believe.
