Episode 116: Mac and David discuss the Texas Relays and opening bands. A round of “Late to the Party” devolves into Wire talk. There was also a huge chunk in the middle featuring a fun discussion of community college mascot names, but it is gone. Why? Because, for some reason, the middle section (and only the middle section) was plagued by weird clipping. Don’t believe me? Why you sonufaboitch. Where do you get off calling me a liar? Listen to this. Kinda fun, but not something you’d want to listen to for 20 minutes.

Opener: “Boyfriend” by Screaming Females, off the album What if Someone is watching Their T.V.?
“Rich Girl” by The Bird and the Bee, off the album Interpreting the Masters, Vol. 1 (A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates)

The Sport of Blood: Mascot Wedding and Master Pancake Mock Bloodsport April 7th!

Photobucket

You know what there aren’t enough of? Tournament movies. These days, movies only have one dude against another dude; or worse, one dude against his self-confidence, and instead of ripping self-confidence’s throat out and winning a kickass trophy, he just sorta tries his best at the piano recital and gets a hug from his mom. Noooo! I want tournaments. The ones with a giant bracket and a professional emcee and those early-round generic competitors, like the psychotic and possibly flamboyantly gay guy, the morbidly obese guy who has no business being in any sort of tournament that doesn’t involve pie, and the one guy who kills another guy just to let the hero know that this shit just got real. Dammit, now I want this movie to exist.

OH WAIT, BUT IT DOES. It’s called Bloodsport, and it stars Jean-Claude Van Damme and it is amazing! In fact, the only thing that would make it more amazing is if some dudes used their voices to make the movie funny. OH SHIT, SON! THAT EXISTS, TOO!

Mac and David of Mascot Wedding are joining with Master Pancake Wednesday, April 7th, for a ONE NIGHT ONLY mocking of Bloodsport. We’ve only done this show one other time, so this doesn’t come around very often. Buy your tickets now and come enjoy a special screening of the movie where there are no rules… except for three rules. And they’re not very good ones, either, because “don’t kill” isn’t one of the rules. It wouldn’t be such a big deal either if there wasn’t that one dickhead who took advantage of the loophole.

I thought it was a pretty inappropriate time for the cop to dance a little jig and say "watch it now!"

Mascot Wedding and Master Pancake Disassemble Transformers Starting January 29th!

You know how you love going to the movies? And remember how you used to love playing with toys? Well, imagine if something out there could somehow manage to ruin both experiences for you. Surely science and simple human good would never allow such a thing to exist. Or, even if it did exist, surely it would be buried where no one would ever see it, like the 5 dollar bin at Wal-Mart or the darkest recesses of your soul.

But it exists. And it made Michael Bay bulletproof. And Shia LeBeouf a star. And Megan Fox relevant. And it made more money than you can count in three lifetimes. Christ, I’m sad just typing that.

Wipe your tears, lovers of all that is good, and get ready for the ultimate payback! Starting January 29th, Mascot Wedding will be joining forces with Master Pancake Theater to annihilate the loudest and dumbest movie of all time: Transformers. Now is your chance to actually sit back and enjoy this stupid thing while the best mockers in the business point all the plotholes and cringeworthy moments that made you physically angry the first time. Get your tickets while you can, because once these shows are over we’re dropping our DVD copies in the deepest part of the ocean.

You see, this is one of those shows that really would have benefited from a timely podcast posting. I thought it was a good show at the time, but now it just seems like all old news. I gotta catch up on these things.
