Certifiable Total Recall: Episode 26: YIR 2011 - P3

2 hours of The Dark Knight Rises after a short What's Happening and all following a moment of silence for Aurora, Colorado. Jason and Andy cover it all, in depth, and be warned, this is jammed with spoilers. Do not listen until you see the film - again, you were warned. Thanks to Buffalo Rodeo for "All the Same" and to Hans Zimmer for being a master.

Jason and Andy talk Person of Interest, Pixar, Abe Lincoln, baseball, and Must See TV in the 90s before the main topic - the guys use their innovative draft format to pick dueling Saturday Night Live casts and talk about which stars and what skits have allowed the show to survive for 38 seasons. Both are upset at people they left off and Jason is still pissed about Bill Hader - enjoy!

Jason and Andy go for just under two hours talking first a wide variety of stuff (Dark Knight, Lantern, Poker, MIB, Kristen Stewart's acting talent, and tons more)...then its about an hour on the recent crop of TV finales, covering at least briefly almost 20 different programs...and the opinions are brutal when necessary. Enjoy it - perfect for your weekend!

Oh how we love Joss Whedon. Oh how we love all of you. Oh how we've missed Joss on a big stage and oh how we've missed doing this show. We're back with TWO SOLID HOURS to let you know CTR is alive and well and we...are...here...to...stay. Hope you enjoy the show, just as random and crazy as ever. A few audio issues that were out of our control but we tried to fix it where possible. Thanks as always to Buffalo Rodeo for "All the Same," which they generously let us use as our theme.

Plenty to get to this week as we tackle some news in television and talk films and "the next Lost" before getting to the main course, FX's Justified, which returned three weeks ago. We talk about the characters, Elmore Leonard, the on screen chemistry and tone of the show, plus the hopes of the show runner. Justified convo spins into other TV at times but the guys do their best to keep it on track. As always, Buffalo Rodeo provides the theme song - "All the Same" - which can be found at buffalorodeo.bandcamp.com. The band is almost set to release a new album and we love em!

In what will go down as a famous (or infamous) moment for CTR, Andy and Jason put you in the studio with them as they randomly conversed while the tapes were rolling. The main topic shifts from Ving Rhames to Melanie Griffith, from the worst film titles ever to horrible family portraits online and so much more. It wasn't the plan, but it provided so much random entertainment we decided to release it to show you just how INSANE these two gentlemen are. A standard What's Happening segment kicks it off. Thanks to Buffalo Rodeo for "All the Same" as they are in the process of recording their new album - new clips, crazy talk, wild pop culture randomness. This is hopefully going to be an enjoyable ninety-five minutes of pure WTF. Please try to follow along with us on IMDB - as that's where a lot of it came from... we think.

The biggest awards are still left to be handed out and Andy and Jason have a few messages for all you early adopters to the force that is CTR. In the finale of the Year in Review: - Best Acting Performance (Male) - TV and Film - Best Television Show - Best Film - Best Book - Biggest Prospect for 2012 in Pop Culture - Heartfelt thank you's to all who listen and continue to spread the word "All the Same" courtesy of Buffalo Rodeo at bandcamp.buffalorodeo.com. Special thank you's to Nate Davis for permission and assistance.

The CTR 2011 retrospective continues as Andy and Jason spend all of P2 (41 mins) continuing with the first ever Awards ceremony. Today: - Best Actress (FYI - Jason watched all of Homeland on Wednesday and now wishes he could amend his answer - expect to hear him obsess about that program REAL soon), The New "It" Thing, Biggest Missed Opportunity - Too Early To Tell Award, Most Memorable News Story of the Year - Best Sports Moment, Biggest Pop Culture Surprise, Renewed Faith Award It all finishes off with P3 on New Year's Eve, where the guys hit Best Actor, Best Film, TV, Book, Music Release, Video Game, and send off the year in grand style. Again, all of us as CTR thank you for all the continued support and the reaction to the project. Special thanks as always to Buffalo Rodeo for lending us "All the Same" for the CTR theme. Find them at bandcamp.buffalorodeo.com to hear plenty more from the rising indie rock stars.

We're BACK! Hectic holidays and vicarious vacations have kept us away for a few weeks, but CTR is back on its weekly schedule. This is the FINAL episode of 2011, split into three parts for easier consumption. In P1 the guys - - Early random banter, talk about respective Christmas' - Reminisce on Jason's trip to SC two weeks ago, including the theft - Talk Ghost Protocol, Warrior, and Stieg Larsson - Begin the Awards with the "Biggest Shame Award" - Pull a cliffhanger as we set the stage for Award 2 and pull the rug out, you'll have to wait until Friday's Part 2! Theme song generously provided by Buffalo Rodeo. "All the Same" from their Wanderers EP - head to buffalorodeo.bandcamp.com to get the whole album.

Jason and Andy welcome special guest Adam Jordan to the show as the trio discuss their favorite (and least-favorite) holiday films and then talk about gift-giving dos and don'ts for the pop culture obsessive in your life. Note: Do not buy us a sweater...unless it's a cool sweater. Some interesting stuff at the end about thinking about where your money goes and tons of fun stuff in the famous "What's Happenin" segment early in the program. Two hours of CTR, could there be anything better? Theme song courtesy of Buffalo Rodeo - "All the Same" - found on the Wanderers EP. Check it out at buffalorodeo.bandcamp.com.
