Join Rock, Paper and Scissors as they weave their way through a discussion of bad movies, what makes them bad, and, sometimes, why they love them anyway. Tangents include, but are not limited to Steven Seagal, first sex scenes seen, mercy killings, movie flubs/ easter eggs, Segways and Wesley Snipes testing video games.
Game time- Word Mix
How many 'j' and 'm' word combinations can Rock, Paper and Scissors come up with? Who will be victorious?
Dumpster dives-
Rock, Paper and Scissors reach into the dumpster to serve up something they think you should check out. Scissors pulls out a comic book, Daytripper, Paper talks about the Ken Burns Civil War documentary and Rock reaches back for an older gaming console, Dreamcast.
Hey, this is the brother of Scissors here.
ReplyDeleteFirst, CONDORMAN!
Our school had laser discs, the only one I really remember was Ted Koppel talking about Desert Shield/Storm in a series called something like "In the Holy Land". Huge discs.
Dean Kamen's "Ginger" project was rumored to be a hoverboard:

There is some awesome possibility with superconducting levitation:

Scissors totally said "jocular" first.
The Civil War book was "The Killer Angels" by Michael Shaara - historical fiction, in that there are embellishments on top of historical facts to fill in character development. There are other books he wrote about the same time period, "Gods and Generals" I started but didn't complete, "The Last Full Measure", ...
saw the superconducting levitation bit- quite mind blowing, though i don't want to be that cold just to levitate.
ReplyDeletehadn't heard of the ginger project. . . will look into it.
hope you enjoyed listening!
