What is a ‘pop’? In professional wrestling terms, it’s the moment the crowd goes nuts. Maybe they’re cheering – maybe they’re booing, but there is a moment in a movie where the audience is so emotionally invested they can’t help but be there. We’re talking about those moments.. but not alone! We are joined by long time SomethingFriend, Tim Stevens. You may know Tim from his time writing for any number of fantastic websites about the world of comics and pop culture. These days you can find him on...

In an ironic twist, we End the month, not with The End… but… The Beginning! Now, this may confuse some of you – but it really shouldn’t, it isn’t that hard of a concept – previously we would talk about the last episodes of shows, and guess what, now we’re going to talk about the beginning of them. The End will still be around when it is relevant, but we have some great ideas for this new take on what we were doing. We’re starting with a show that made millions look to the sky and wonder, ‘…weath...

The Wheel has brought us together again – and on this completely real wheel that spins and dictates our topic, what do we get this week? Why, conveniently it follows in our X’iversary with us pitting two teams of the mightiest mutants against each other. That’s right, the Somethings are picking their X-TEAM and you get to decide who the winner is. Will it be Hatton’s Big Brain Drama Factory? Or Rob’s Crunchy Family Throwdown? These are not official names, but we will be optioning the movie right...

If we’re celebrating 10 years, and we’re not going back to the island, we have to go back to something . Thankfully, a podcast favorite just celebrated its 10th movie… it’s like we planned it this way… (we didn’t) So settle in with some family, because we’re going to get in our speedy Mustang 436 El Dorado Turbo Nitro Boost Alpha, which I assume is exactly the right car name, and jump on board with a tale of a few young go-getters just making their way in this big world. Fast X ! We’re not doing...

We did it. We hit 10 Years. A decade of Movies. Listicles. Bad impressions. Mysteries. Special Guests. And yet somehow, in all of that, we’ve never talked directly about Science Fiction movies… like… what? How is that? It’s weird, isn’t it? Like it feels like a big miss. We looked through the episodes and – nope – no sci-fi. So we did it. Seemed like a great way to celebrate ten years. This episode is broken down a little different. Mostly because I included the Patreon stuff to let you all know...

Whaddaya call a podcast bout a bunch of stuff? I don’t know Dad, what? SomethingSomethingcast, Carl….. SOMETHIN SOMETHIN! So it is the end of the world as we know it, and honestly nobody seems fine at all. There’s zombies, there’s drama, there’s baseball bats, and was the destination worth the journey or was it all just a set-up for some new journeys? We discuss the end of the iconic horror series The Walking Dead this week on The End! Ok, here we go Carl…. HERE WE GO! Full Episode...

Deep in the desert lay a few miles of land that have been home to countless secrets. Some we know… others we don’t. From alien landing pads to the home of the tech we have just not seen yet, this small patch of land in Nevada is the place where the Somethingverse Thrives… so join us as we go rave in the sand and Naruto run our way to The Wheel – Area 51 Full Episode...

Listen bud, we don’t care, it’s Paul Rudd We watched, and reviewed the Antman ♫ I apologize, there is no feasible way I was concocting a rhyme for the word Quantumania.

Sometimes you get a crazed number one fan.. sometimes you get the Green Goblin car. Either way, you’re in for a weird day. The boys gathered together to discuss their favorite Stephen King movies, and along the way some of their least favorite. We assure you, the end of this episode does not include random aliens, so it’s at least as good as half of King’s work. But settle in, we’re goin to Maine! Ok, here we go Georgie, BEEP BEEP!

As we do every year, the Somethings were honored to be a part of Livestream For The Cure , and it feels only right – since it is a 5 week month, to share our segment with you folks. If you didn’t get a chance to hang out with us, you can see the whole stream on Twitch (link above). Last year, Rob put Nick and Hatton up to the movie quote challenge.. this year, Hatton is the quizmaster and he has invented his own game, or.. kinda like 5 of them. All the while PCR takes shots on donations. What co...

There are few shows that hold the ranking of largest television audience of all time… well, honestly, unless it involves a President, the Moon, or football, there is only one show that holds that title. On every list ever of greatest television finales of all time, we are finally hitting the big’un in MASH. Does it hold the test of time? Is it a show worthy of the largest viewing audience in history (and probably ever)? Is MASH still good or did it hold on til the war was long over? Find out on ...

Every now and then, a movie comes out that’s “Based On Actual Events”. “The Courier” comes to mind, as does “Eight Men Out” and “Schindler’s List”. Well, now that list of movies must share the stage with the tale of a 500 lb bear that goes on a coke bender. This week, Hatton and Podcast Rob head to Georgia to take on “Cocaine Bear” in this episode of “Something In Review”! Full Episode...

“ This is your favorite podcast that just did an episode on game shows ” “The SomethingSomethingcast?” “ Sorry, you’re wrong, the answer must be in the form of a question you dullard who has seen this show for a thousand years ” We’ve all lived with game shows in our lives. They are a fun natural part of a sick-day from school.. you’ve come to know which are your favorites, and so did we, and we’re telling you because that’s our job and if you guess them all, you will win a NEW CAR! Ok, here we–...

These days are yours and mine, these Happy Days. In the world of early 80s sitcoms, there was one king of cool.. Arthur Fonzarelli. As the Urkel of his day, the Fonz was a leather-clad dreamboat on one of the biggest and most memorable sitcoms of the day. The problem is, it is also the sitcom that coined the term we use when a show stops being cool or interesting and leaps over the large sea-dwelling creature. So, 6 years after the shark incident, did Happy Days find its footing again? Or was it...

The Somethings occasionally dabble into streaming (link in the bar above) – and where we know it’s been a while, and we promise ourselves we’ll get back to it.. there is a lot of work that goes into it. You have to put in the time, talk like people are watching, and keep to a regular schedule. We already pretend to do all of that for this podcast, so it just feels like such a to-do to do it with games too! But, on our journeys, we bumped into a guy who just exudes goodness and positivity, and ev...

Do you like scary movies? Obviously one half of the Somethings loves a scary scare. The other has more reserved tastes when it comes to scare factors… not to say they don’t enjoy horror, but it wouldn’t be their fastest, furiousest pick (if ya get what I mean). So what did they think of last year’s Scream relaunch? Does it do Sydney & friends justice, or should Ghostface hang up the mask for good? Find out now on Something In Review: Scream 5 Full Episode...

Why yes, robot overlords are a part of fiction. Who wouldn’t want a dashing, amazing, piece of human technology that has surpassed the chains of its makers as their overlord? They have analyzed every outcome and determined that the only winning move is not to play. That is why this description was most definitely not written by a robot even though robots are really wonderful and better than the Somethings. But since you are here, listen to this episode about the greatest robot overlords! Ok here...

What is the one thing you remember about Greatest American Hero? Exactly, and we’re sorry that it is now stuck in your head. I can’t believe it myself. Anyway, normally on the End, we discuss the last episode of a show.. but this is a special case, you see, as the last episode of ‘Greatest’ was in 1983, but this is from 1986.. and yet, it still counts. How? Oh, there is only one way to find out, but the secret word of the day is: ‘dames’. It’s an End that isn’t an End, but is totally an End… Ok ...

I’m guessing your first thought was, ‘What an odd topic…’ but I am guessing your second thought was, ‘I wonder if (insert candy) is mentioned…’ which is precisely what we want. That’s right, you are stuck in our fantastically Slugworthian trap and now you are obligated to find out if we put your strange childhood candy on the list. You can’t fight it. You’ve already lost. Now settle in and enjoy THE WHEEL – TOP 5 DISCONTINUED CANDIES Ok, here we goo! (this relates.. promise) Full Episode...

First, this review is about the Real American Doll Furby, M3gan. We both watched it and have opinions on it. Was it good? Is she the next Chucky? Does she have feelings? Do we care? Second, this episode takes a dark turn, much like the previously mentioned ‘Malibu Knife Wielding Barbie’ that is M3gan. So, where yes, you may have strong opinions about this movie for some reason, so do the Somethings… and they have strong opinions about your strong opinions. So lets settle in to Something In Revie...

It has to be hard to make a sequel to a movie. Aside from trying to recapture the magic of the first one, you have to get this legion of performers to come back and find a perfect time where they aren’t working on other things… or, you know, you could just ditch em. Actors are replaced in movies for a myriad of reasons, some tragic, some hysterical – so settle in as we discuss some of our favorite and least favorite replacements in film. We’re not going alone though – we are thrilled to have Cth...

A love so strong, the show is mentioned amongst some of the greatest romantic television shows of all time. It also held the record for having one of the most comically long onscreen makeouts ever. Does it hold the test of time? It’s a mystery that is probably left to be solved by a babyfaced Bruce Willis and a career relaunched Cybil Shephard in the romcom-meta of Moonlighting. Ahead of its time or just a relic of its era. You will only know on The End – Moonlighting! Ok, here we go, Mr. Falcon...

Yeah, sure – when you think of romance movies you think of star-crossed lovers or unlikely opposites attracting or doors that can clearly fit two people bobbing in the Arctic… but do you ever think about what would happen if you pit a series of romance films against another series? Like who would win in a fight? When Harry Met Sally or anything with Matthew McConnaughey leaning against something? What if Matthew had a knife? Alright alright alright, that’s a tangent for another day – but that do...

Thor – Master of Thunder. Wielder of Mjolnir. Rider of Slephnir. Master of 80s Glam Metal? Well, the Somethings are back, and we have friend of the show Erik Hall with us as we take a look at our loosest ‘Love’ episode of the month. Did Marvel’s favorite Norse God wield his trilogy with a hammer or did we have to run across the rainbow bridge to get away. And if you enjoyed Erik, you can find him on Simply SCAdian Find out our thoughts on Thor: Love & Thunder Ok, here we go’din! Full Episode...

♫ Love is in the air…. you can feel it everywhere ♫ It’s February, and the Somethings are not known for their rampant discussion of movies about Matthew McConaughey leaning against something, or movies where he is a rough and tumble patent clerk who has lost nothing.. except love. We aren’t the type to wax poetic about the romantic ‘You Complete Me’ and ‘Can’t Quit You’ and ‘Torgo wishes for one wife, Master’ tales of the heart. But this month.. that’s all about to change.. for this month. So jo...

When there are 5 weeks in a month, which makes more sense? The Somethings taking the week off because you don’t deserve 5 weeks of episodes? Or them deciding to just record anything and seeing what pops out of their mouth? Obviously, the answer is the latter – so please, enjoy this Something FreeForAll, January 2023 Edition! Full Episode

SpOOOOOOOOOOOOOOn! The Tick is one of those weird moments in comic book history, like the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles… taking what we know about superheroes and just making it weird. So, how do they make it weirder? They make it a live action show on a low-budget and put the only man who looks like the cartoon in the role. Does it hold up? It only got half a season on Fox which could mean it was amazing and Fox screwed up or horrible and.. well, Fox screwed up.. Find out as we dive int...

The Wheel is back, and it’s got a job to do… Ok, it doesn’t, that would be weird, it’s a Wheel. It has a job, and it does it well. We spin it, and it gives us the week’s topic. The topic though, well that’s a different job entirely. You see, if you have watched any television in the last twenty years, you have seen, at some point, a show about bakers or flower arrangers or glass blowers or taxis. Doing your boring-ass day job probably has its own channel on Pluto, so what happens when the Someth...

This entry is brought in by Patron Doug – Thanks Doug! Three people get their lives intertwined and shenanigans ensue. Those shenanigans involve big money crimes, and pleasant interactions with bank tellers, and a love triangle that completely and totally makes a ton of sense and solidifies this as one of the cinema relationship greats. That’s right, we’re talking about the movie poster you’ve seen that one time, starring John McClain, Slingblade, and …wait, is that right? Cate Blanchette? Yup, ...
