Episode 40 - TV Spinoffs

The TV spinoff. For every “Maude” or “Frasier” there are dozens more like “Joey” or “After M*A*S*H.” Are spinoffs just a creatively-bankrupt way to extend a familiar brand? Or, do they actually improve upon the best qualities of their original to create something unique? We may not always get the spinoff we want, but sometimes we get the spinoff we deserve. 0:00 Intros 3:12 Supertrain 6:55 Mute 8:55 Black Panther 19:43 Creed 23:40 Game Night 25:25 Blockers (trailer) 28:00 Spinoff Introductions 29:18 The first spinoff character 31:46 The Honeymooners 32:43 Swearing 33:40 How do you define a spinoff? 36:51 Sidequels, NCIS, Law & Order, etc 38:33 Shows talking about other shows (The Talking Dead) 39:17 Beloved character spinoffs 41:28 Back door pilots 48:30 Unintentional pilots 50:40 Variety shows that spawn series 51:40 Spinoffs of spinoffs 55:40 Different Strokes 58:30 Spinoffs that are better than the original show 1:01:27 Spinoffs of soap operas 1:04:25 Would you consider these to be spinoffs? 1:08:00 This podcast is itself a spinoff 1:08:50 Spinoffs we want to see made Clips Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl Blur - Coffee & TV Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat Bob Cobert - Supertrain theme Twelve Titans Music - Pilgrimage" from "Mute" Official Trailer Kendrick Lamar, SZA - All The Stars (from “Black Panther”) Ludwig Göransson - Killmonger (from “Black Panther”) Ludwig Göransson - Wakanda (from “Black Panther”) Future - Last Breath (from “Creed”) Clip from The Princess Bride Blockers Trailer John Cena - Where Is My Mind Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh God I Hate Shakespeare - Something Rotten (Original Broadway Cast Recording) Clip from Fibber McGee and Molly Clip from The Honeymooners Theme to Mayberry R.F.D.

Episode 38 - Desert Island Discs

Suppose you were put in an arbitrary and unrealistically restrictive situation and were forced to whittle your music collection down to 10 albums. Suppose you still think of music as coming packaged as “albums”. Suppose you still consider albums to be things that come on "discs". Suppose that you had a way to play those discs on a desert island. Okay, it’s a stupid hypothetical, but this week the MagHuge crew is talking about the music we just couldn’t live without, so come along for the ride! We’ve made playlists of the songs in this episode. You can find them here.

Gophers, golfers and the uneven comedy juggernaut known as “Caddyshack”! It’s Volume 3 of our ongoing series about the movie soundtracks of Mr. Kenny Loggins.

Episode 35 - Summer Of 86

Where were you in 1986? If you’re like most of our listeners, you weren’t even born yet. Goddamn Millennials. But for the rest of us who were there for it, most would all agree that 1986 was most definitely a year. This week, we’re taking a look back at another watershed moment in pop culture - 1986: When Mav first turned and burned, when Eddie Murphy was the #1 everything, and real nerds listened to They Might Be Giants. (Years before the cool kids would hijack the term “nerd” and make it their own, taking our last shred of dignity. Jerks.) So sit back and listen to three guys talk about neat stuff.

Episode 32 – Reboots Are Reediculous

A reboot is just another name for a remake. But not all remakes are reboots. And some reboots are actually sequels. Unless they reimagine a previous remake. Confused? You won’t be after this episode of Magnificently Huge. Well, okay, you probably will be confused like us, because we have no idea what the hell the difference is between a reboot and a remake. All we know for certain is that reboots are ridiculous. 0:00 Intros 5:09 Ash vs Evil Dead 7:50 Travel Man 9:54 Bright 13:04 Black Mirror series 4 14:40 Train to Busan 16:00 Ellen’s Game of Games 16:19 Doctor Who - Twice Upon a Time 17:00 Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi 17:45 The Greatest Showman 21:57 The Shape of Water 24:17 Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle 26:35 Reboot vs Remake vs Sequel vs Modernization (featuring Batman, James Bond, and Spider-Man) 31:50 Can you reboot a single previous movie?

Episode 20 - The Best Movies of 1984: Or, well…something.

Few years in history capture the imagination quite like the year 1984. George Orwell predicted it would be a literal Big Brother State, an awful dystopian world full of paranoia, fear and desperation. Instead we got Reagan, Cold War histrionics, and the summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Oh, and some of the best damn movies ever made. Period. If ignorance is strength, then the MagHuge team has you covered in spades this week with The Best Movies of 1984! Or, well…something.

Episode 18 - Repo Man: White Dopes On Punk

What’s in the trunk? Director Alex Cox’s only good movie – Repo Man. It’s the classic comedy/sci-fi/punk/noir/conspiracy mashup that made a generation of suburban punks want to go get sushi and not pay. We’ve got Quincy punks…Plates of shrimp…The scruffy genius of Harry Dean Stanton (R.I.P)… And how the greatest soundtrack EVER MADE dragged Repo Man from the brink of total obscurity and shoved it into our cosmic unconsciousness.

Our ongoing dissection of the film music of Kenny Loggins. When Chris suggested this, I assumed we'd dive into the KL Trilogy: Caddyshack, Footloose, Top Gun. But NAY!
