..we’re here.  When we talked about putting the chairs up and turning off the lights, we had a dozen or so episodes to go and now we are down the last month.  We hope you don’t mind if we get a little bit self-indulgent. Over the last 11 years we have laughed a lot, talked to amazing guests, and had experiences that could only exist in the Somethingverse, so please join us as we go back and talk about some of our favorite episodes and moments. Also, you may learn some stories we’ve never told, but now, why the hell not.. we’re not going to get cancelled or anything. So settle in with the Somethings as we look back at the Somethings and talk about which Somethings were Something to talk about. Okay here we go! Full Episode

Are the kids getting into tapes because of Taylor Swift? What is “second screen” content? Will Killers of the Flower Moon ever get a physical release? Is there a need for movie takedown posts? Not critical reviews but social media that just shits on other peoples work. What did you call your video tape player back in the day? VHS player? VCR? Tape Machine? Russ and Zach delve into these questions and of course, much much more in this special extended episode of the Emerald City Video Podcast.

The year was 1995 – the world of videogame nerds was overtaken by the cinema masterpiece that was Mortal Kombat.  ..ok, fine, it wasn’t a masterpiece, but it was kinda badass. The year was 1997 – the world of videogame nerds realized something had gone horribly wrong and the movie studio was trying to cash-in on the IP and gave us Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. So now, what happens when the Somethings go back in time, choose their Kombatent and rise through the ranks to fight against the villanous Shao Khan.. who is apparently not the Emporer of the Outworld trying to take over the Overworld… he is, apparently, a whiny Italian man whose father really pulls the strings. Maybe. We don’t know. Test your might – and your stomach this week on 1-Star Movie: Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Okay here we g–MORTAL KOMBAT, duhn duhn duhn du duhn! Full Episode

If you listen to us semi-regularly, you know that we were once again a part of the amazing Livestream For The Cure event this past month. With friend of the show and the Jerry Lewis of podcasting charity events, Nick Haskins at the helm, we once again go into the elevator and ask a man with a giant check if we could use it… for what? Well, this week we are taking a video game franchise and turning it into a movie, or vice versa. That’s not all you get in this episode, as afterwards we hang out with the Livestream crew and talk movies, Furiosa, a bit about the show ending, and just generally merrymake with our ‘For the Cure’ family.  We want to thank everyone involved and everyone that stuck around and donated during our time. That said, the event is over, but there is never a bad time to donate and help to live in a world without cancer. With that said, enjoy the show!  Ok, here we go… Full Episode  

In this episode Russ Burlingame and Zach Roberts chat about the drawbacks of streaming media, the fact that directors are getting angry about how their films look on streaming apps, award-winning director of The Godfather not being able to find a home for his new film and so much more.

Surprise, we're back! And no better way to re-integrate than having our own Kevin Israel plop back into the Gutter's chair. His selection of Iron Man will shock and amaze everyone as he's the quintessential Marvel fan. Host Kevin Gootee and special guest co-host Bill Schulz (Formerly of Compound Media, currently suffering White Sox Fan) are dying to hear why KI thinks the Robert Downey Jr MCU catalyst is overrated and where it falls short. The boys also take a walk down nostalgia avenue by reminiscing about the days of Maxim magazine and how it lost its way. And of course, the boys are obliged to give their top 10 Marvel films as well as discuss their top 3 Marvel villains. Does Kevin Israel convince you why Iron Man has flamed out like Gwyenth Paltrow's vaginal candles?

Somethings! If you’ve been listening for a long enough time, you are well aware that we have issues. Tons of them. Long boxes full of them. And when we get together and start talking, sometimes the best thing to do is just leave your issues on the table and talk them out. So join us as we each pick some of our favorite issues of comics. Some because they are shining moments of our favorite characters, others because of the art, and even othersbecause they are the embodiment of the stories we like. So grab a stack of funnybooks and play along by listening to Our Favorite Comic Issues. Ok, here we go! (Prismatic Foil Edition) Full Episode
