We Love To Watch

In our first entry of CARPING ABOUT CARPENTER month, John Carpenter channels the popularity of Stephen King, the themes of Lovecraft, and the "very good at playing crazy" of Sam Neill. We spend a lot of time on this one, folks, so settle in. This week, we're joined by Ryan Boland, a close friend of the show and previous guest on the Southland Tales episode! Thank you for listening! You can find us on iTunes, Stitcher, Tunein, and prehistoric stone tablets that will drive you mad.

Just before 1990, three "under the sea" thrillers came out, all around the same time, and are frequently confused for one another. DeepStar Six, about an undersea crew setting up a Navy missile launch center, Leviathan about an undersea mining crew working for a corporation, and James Cameron's The Abyss, about Ed Harris looking pissed off to be wet. We'll take on the first two movies today, and put them head to head to see which one of these is more worthy. There are plenty of other fish movies under the sea, but today, we must choose one. You can find us on Stitcher, iTunes, TuneIn, and at the bottom of the Marianas trench.

"Get your ass to Mars." - John F Kennedy From the earliest days of our species, we looked up at the sky and saw a red marble staring back at us. We waited to go. Waited until our best were ready. Finally, they were: Tom Sizemore and Gary Sinise. What was their conveyance? The second week of DOUBLE TROUBLE month! Peter and Aaron get a double dose of double trouble when Douglas Laman AND Michael Guarnieri help them cover RED PLANET and MISSION TO MARS. You can find Douglas's excellent film writing at www.landofthenerds.blogspot.com Both Michael and Doug write for www.the-solute.com You can find Michael's essay in the book The Oliver Stone Experience by Matt Zoller-Seitz. You can find us on ITunes, Souncloud, buried under glacial ice, flashing the peace sign to the Mars Rover, Stitcher, traveling to another plane of existence, being farted out of bugs, and TuneIn.

It's great day here in the heart of podcast country. The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky; what a day for a PODCAST EPISODE! Double Trouble month takes the mound with the one-two pitch of Rookie of the Year and Little Big League! But big slugger Anthony Pizzo is up at bat, and ready to to knock this one out of the park. Other clever baseball references. You can find Anthony's photography and art on Instagram at @atpizzo and @pizzo_cartoons. And you can find We Love To Watch on iTunes, Soundcloud, TuneIn, most hotdog vendors, deep in the heart of America, the cheap seats, and Stitcher.

So, we promised you a break from more episodes this week. SURPRISE, we actually went back and did another episode on Futuresport, to meet listener demand (citation needed). Pete called up Aaron on vacation, and... well, let's see how this goes. And always remember. Dead men get nada. We Love to Watch is available on iTunes, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Aaron and Pete finish up MUSICAL MAY with Xanadu, a film with Olivia Newton-John and ELO and Gene Kelly in it. That's... all I can say.

We made a deal with the devil, and found ourselves joined, once again, by Adam and Dustin Koski, or "The Broskis" for short. We're hitting the high note of Musical May with Brian DePalma's Phantom of the Paradise. Will Peter finally like a goddamn musical? Will the sweet Paul Williams snuggle Peter's angry heart down with his sweet melodies? Maybe stop reading a podcast description and find out for yourself. We're available on ITunes, Stitcher, on top of rafters, TuneIn, on a video tape you have to play to yourself every night, and Soundcloud.

OH! HEY! Youse watchers want to order a newspaper? Tough luck, flathead! Because the Newsies are on strike! In their place is Aaron, Peter, and guest Rachel Graff, casting on the streets. In the gudder. Da trash. You could say, it's a hard knock life. But you shouldn't, because that's a different musical, peabrain. Use ya head. We're available on ITunes, Stitcher, Yankee Stadium, certain hot dog stands, and Soundcloud.

Musical May marches on with special guest, Liz Lundberg! We're talking about the much loved* musical* TEEN WITCH! We also get into the bizarre depths of why Peter doesn't like musicals. Hold on to your tap shoes; it's going to be a crazy ride. *citation needed

For our first entry in MUSICAL THEATER MAY, Aaron & Pete sing the praises of and lament the failures of CABARET, the 1972 Bob Fosse musical documentary and winner of 8 Oscars. This one's a duet, with just Aaron & Pete, and the unhinged stupidity that comes out when it's just us two is in full force today. Check us out at www.wltwpodcast.com, on stitcher, tunein, or your podcatcher of choice

This week, Aaron & Pete take a BITE out the dog-revenge classic WHITE GOD as our final entry in Aww-paw-calypse Month! So you're used to movies like John Wick, where a person gets revenge for his dog? Hagen doesn't need no Keanu Reeves for that (though that sounds like a Good Movie too), as he takes to the streets and unites his bepawed brothers against their oppressors. You can find us on Soundcloud, iTunes, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts from.

Awwwwww-paw-calypse Month gallops on with our first ever double feature: 1996's THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU and 2014's LOST SOUL: THE DOOMED JOURNEY OF RICHARD STANLEY'S ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU. We have so much to cover that I don't even have time to continue writing th (But if you haven't done it, why don't you like us on Facebook at Facebook.com/wltwpodcast ?)

This week, Aaron & Pete get into some monkey business (uh, er, ape business?) with CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, for Aww-paw-calypse month. The animals keep rising up, and we'll keep eating it up. We're joined by Zach Grooten, our sometimes artist and all-times friend. You can find us on Soundcloud, Stitcher, tunein, Itunes, or wherever you may find your podcasts.

There ain't nothing in the rulebook that says Bridgett Taylor can't guest with Aaron and Pete to talk about the cinematic masterpiece, Air Bud. There's nothing else worth saying when a dog is playing basketball. (Expect that you should check out royaltonradio.com).

Aaron & Pete are joined by Sam Scott, author at The-Solute.com, to wrap up SILENT HORROR MONTH! We talk about via title cards only. Check us out on iTunes, Stitcher, Tunein, Soundcloud, and your podcatcher of choice.

Silent Horror Month marches on! But you can't hear it, because it's...you get the idea. Rick Kelley joins Aaron and Peter again to jibber jabber about monsters, demons, and misogyny. You can find Rick whenever you have a song in your heart and at www.ludditerobot.com.

This week Aaron & Pete suck all the fun out of the storied classic, NOSFERATU! Rick Kelley joins us, and brings us a fun game about Murnau's grave desecration. You can find us on Soundcloud, Stitcher, iTunes, Tunein and your podcatcher of choice.

Dean Cain. Vanessa Williams. Wesley Snipes. Aaron Armstrong? Peter Moran? That's right, watch lovers. We did the most future sport movie to ever future sport, Futuresport.

Peter and Aaron wrap up Future Sport month with our first Schwarzenegger movie, The Running Man! Now, let's talk a little bit about self-control. Self-control is something critical to the survival of our species. We're living in a society! Just because you want to do something, because it will bring *you* joy, doesn't mean you should do it if it will cause harm to others. Friends, I wish I could tell you that Aaron and Peter exhibited this self-control, and stopped themselves from doing terrible Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions. I wish I could tell you they fought the good fight. I really, truly do. Anyway, maybe don't go to listen to this episode. It's rather a silly one.

Aaron & Pete try to please our corporate overlords with another FUTURESPORTS! entry, ROLLERBALL. James Caan stars as Jonathan E. What does that E stand for? Tune in if you want no more information on that topic! We're joined by returning Watchboy/friend of the show, Joseph Finn. He hosts a podcast called Try It, You'll Like It that we think if you try it you'll like it. You can find us on Soundcloud, iTunes, and your podcatcher of choice.
