Happy Labor Day, everybody! We’re celebrating this long weekend by doing what we do any other weekend, but taking longer to do it. The more time we have, the more time we waste. Life is ours to squander, and every time you give us a listen, you let us squander a little of your precious time on this planet too. Thanks for that.
Dogs feature fairly heavily in the news this week, either saving someone or being saved. So dogs are either an asset or a liability, depending. Or they’re sidekicks for supervillians. Also, people are turning in lost wallets in cases where honesty turns out to be either an asset or a liability, depending. We’ve stories of people sticking things in their pants which they shouldn’t, naturally, and things that should be in people’s pants getting scattered all over the road for no apparent reason. And we’re very happy to give you the follow-up on Yvonne the Cow, because we know you’ve been on tenderhooks about that story. (Oops! Did I say too much?)
Our usual reviews were hijacked this week by an unexpected Netflix treasure called Alien Vs. Ninja (2010). A bad movie with many anime-like traits, we got to laughing so hard at this goofy thing that we needed to share it with you. Whether you watch it as an Intentionally Bad Good Movie or a Four Star live-action anime, it’s a lot of fun if you like dopey-looking alien costumes, martial arts in the woods, or a hot chick in really tight body armor.
The die is cast twice for a double-dose of Random Encounters, and Luka does the patriotic thing by filling you in on the historic significance of Labor Day. Always educational, that’s us.
If you like to listen to us when you’re at work, you’re a day late, buddy. No holiday for us, though. We put our podcast out there on time! We’re no slackers. Just two people with little better to do than be disembodied voices in your ears. Why would we ever want to take a day off from that?
Yvonne has stopped her wandering and turned herself in. Lonely no longer, here she is, safe and sound, with her friend Friesi.
Pullling into a gas station, the last thing you want to see is a flaming car. Here’s the aftermath:
Alien Vs. Ninja (2010) Truth in advertising – it’s got aliens, it’s got ninjas, and as an added bonus, a hot chick in tight pants!
Are you a social outcast? Have you been specifically not invited to parties? Perhaps it is due to your poor hygiene and rudeness. If only you had a Fairy Godmother to help you! Please enjoy this week’s educational short; Cindy Goes To a Party (1955)!
Great Show! I was going to give Alien vs Ninja a pass based on the member reviews, but now that it is recomended by the team at WCGW it is going to the top of the que. I liked the variation on the opening WCGW setups. Hudson Hawk! Ha! Gasoline folly is fun when it happens to others. Liked Lukas all true Labor Day facts. A dozen episodes already, Wow! I barely have the energy and follow thru nessisary for my ritual self abuse. Please keep the funny coming!
Honestly, AvN is the kind of movie I could imagine the two of us watching at a midnight showing at the old Bijou on free popcorn night, laughing our asses off and shaking our heads in wonder.
We’re going to have to come up with more variations on the opening in the weeks to come, because here we are at twelve episodes and we’re flat out of ideas. We shot our load too early, and now we got nuttin’. Story of my life, really.
