Rokk Talk Ep. 04: Can’t Buy A Thrill

Buying music. It used to be the only way of aquiring music, and now it’s something you’d have to pay most people to do against their will.  On this episode, Colin and John take a look back at their earliest music-buying memories, as well as their takes on the way music consumption has changed as we make our way through the era of streaming.  It’s an episode that very easily could’ve been called “An Ode To Silver Platters”.

Good Movie/Bad Movie: To Good Eyesight and a Head Full of Hair

Fifty years of trekking across the stars and we’ve received five televisions shows, thirteen movies, and still more to come. What a long strange trip it’s been. This week, Capt. Sean Lemme, Mr. John and Dr. Nancy review Star Trek: Beyond and search for life in the black hole that is 1984’s Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Will they complete their mission? Listen and find out.

Stream Police Ep. 23: Monkeybone

Looks like Michael and John have come down with a severe case of “Brendanmania” in this week’s review of the 2001 Fantasy/Action/Adventure masterpiece Monkeybone. Listen to a couple of bonafide Fraserphiles express their admiration for Brendan Fraser’s most personal project. It’s time to get boned.

Rokk Talk Ep. 03: So You Want to Be a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star

We all have a song in our hearts. The question is: do we all have a song worth hearing? Some of the celebs on this list seem to think so. This week, Colin and John talk about ill-fated heroes of Tinseltown who have attempted a transition from the silver screen to the bargain bin at the last Sam Goody in existence. From Shatner to Willis we have it locked down. It’s a party all the time at Rokk Talk!

P.S. R.I.P Alan Vega – frontman of Suicide – who is mentioned in this podcast. We miss ya already brother!

T3 100: A Farewell to Lists

The original idea for Top Ten Thursdays was a simple solution to two problems: one, writing T3 posts on the blog was a contentious, time-consuming affair and two, Da Podcasket was a meandering, directionless mess. So doing a podcast where we made lists seemed to be the perfect solution – it would be easier to jot down nominees and talk about them as a group than to try to do the whole thing solo written, and our podcast would have an actual hook to get people interested. But as our professional lives became more busy and we invented other types of shows that better complimented our strengths, Top Ten Thursdays became something of a black sheep – or perhaps even an albatross keeping us from podcasting.

So we decided it was time to retire the old girl. But we couldn’t do that without a proper send-off, which is what you have here as episode 100 (give or take a few). Join us as we reminisce over some of our favorite moments while trying to track the history of the show over its four and a half year run. You know we did this one right: little to no research, one long take, plenty of jokes we’ll regret later. It’s the end of T3, Judgement Day is finally here! The machines will rise!

Top Stuff of 2016 So Far

Hey buddy! Just wanted you to know that even though we are on the cusp of a post-T3 world, that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop doing the big, easy best of the year lists (for at least as long as we keep doing these irregular podcasts). That includes the top stuff of the year so far podcast as well, one of the shows that least well fit the T3 format in which we discuss an arbitrary number of video games, albums, TV shows, and movies that have been abnormally good during the first half of the year. Which ends today! It’s June 30! July starts tomorrow! We’re halfway there, living on a prayer!

Rokk Talk Ep. 02: DontGetIt

Some people say, “I like all kinds of music.” Those people are either liars or pod people. Probably both. The truth is we all have different musical tastes. Nobody has the time to listen to and like everything. Meaning this week, John and Colin discuss some of the artists they have never gotten into. Maybe it’s a lack of interest or time or patience or whatever. I mean, who has the time for Krautrock? Everybody has their reasons, and on Rokk Talk… The Reason is you.

P.S. Don’t forget to stick around for John and Colin’s album recommendations. Click more on this page if you just can’t wait!
