Waxing the Porpoise

Ep. 68 - Mount Shasta - High Elevation Strangeness

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve examine all manner of high elevation strangeness involving a murderers' row of different phenomena and paranormal happenings that have been said to be associated with and/or have occurred at Northern California's Mount Shasta.
Join us as we wax mountainside on speculation station about some of the lore associated with Mount Shasta including but not limited to magnetic anomalies, the Count of Saint Germain, the Lost Continent of Mu and it's connections to Atlantis, UFO sightings, the "I Am" movement, stargates and much more.
If you thought we couldn't help but devolve at some point, fear not - we'll also touch on projectile vomiting and the most effective method of smuggling The Club brand cocktail in a can - both in a movie theater aka "the show" environment.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to embrace the dance of the mind and summit this peak where both the veil and air thins and robot grandma beckons you to defecate on flypaper.
Let's wax this elevated porpoise.

Ep. 67 - eXistenZ (1999)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again call upon the auspiciously enigmatic and cinematic maven Miles to help us parse through 1999's intriguingly abstruse techno-mystical game within a game within a reality within a matrix, David Cronenberg's eXistenZ.
Grab your VR headsets and get ready for a direct upload of existential dilemmas, hog expansion and warped perceptions in what some might call a precursor to Inception.
On this episode we'll talk about the perhaps collective Cronenberg family trauma manifesting as grotesque body horror art, the fatwa issued against Salman Rushdie, the cyclical nature of our world, and gelatinous reptile/amphibian cuisine.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to gleam the cube once more where in eXistenZ, the truth is as elusive as a hall of smoke and mirrors and reality bends like Beckham.
Maybe the real treasure was the eXtenZe we found along the way.
Let's wax this transcendental porpoise.

Ep. 66 - OceanGate Titan x Titanic Conspiracies

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again get nautical as we examine the wreckage of two ill-fated marine excursions - the recent OceanGate Titan submersible implosion and it's wildly speculative and conspiratorial connections to the RMS Titanic left in it's wake.
Join us as we wax on water about some of the dubious distinctions and red flags held by OceanGate Expeditions and then briefly review the sinking of the Titanic and it's connections to people and institutions such as J.P. Morgan, the Federal Reserve, and BIG OCEAN - question mark.
We'll also hear G-Baby espouse the probably made up "Law of the Sea" and finally we'll bring it home with reason number 525,600 that Bill "Hips" Paxton is "The Extreme".
So remember, dear listeners, the ocean is a mistress of secrets, and those who dare to uncover them must navigate the treacherous waters with caution.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers armed with their trademark wit and deep diving capabilities, dare to plunge into the abyss of conspiracy that surrounds these fateful vessels.
You can't explain it, you can't predict it.
Let's wax this unsinkable porpoise.

Ep. 65 - Summer of 84 (2018)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve go full Bananrama as we ride along the moonlit avenues of an 8-bit 80's synth nostalgia, diet horror mystery trip where curiosity dances with danger to break down RKSS' 2018 jug, Summer of 84.
Join us as we got to install microwave ovens, chastise our lead Davey on his uninspired PB&J game, and take the Nestea Plunge into a time when walkie-talkies were the ultimate spy gadget and friendship was forged in the fires of adventure and ripping on on another mercilessly.
Where Cruel Summer, kids on bikes, and all things analog reign supreme, the undercurrent of danger and the unknown belie this carefree suburban milieu, glistening with the veneer of innocence.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers at the vanguard of the nostalgic labyrinth guide us, their sleek forms cutting through the darkness like shadows in motion.
BIKES.
Let's wax this on bikes porpoise.

Ep. 64 - The Last Detail (1973)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve drop anchor to review the classic film The Last Detail from 1973 about a couple of Navy chasers on a prisoner escort featuring a very young Randy Quaid and pre-Chinatown era Jack Nicholson.  Acting as our compass rose we welcome special guest Matt from the Swords in Stereo podcast - space vampire evangelist, modern day renaissance man and a former sailor himself - to guide us through the siren song of the sea. 
Join us as Matt and the porpoises join forces to journey through uncharted waters and discuss Matt's time in the Navy and how it compares to it's depiction on film, the pursuit of mischief in the name of making memories that would force Poseidon himself to blush, and answer the age old question, just what is a shellback?
Would you eat a cherry out of a fat man's bellybutton?  Call for a good maritime.
Let's wax this salty porpoise.

Ep. 63 - The Curious Case of Karen Read

Welcome back to Waxing the Porpoise - a place where secrets lie like forgotten whispers and porpoises bear witness to the most perplexing of tales. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve turn their gaze back to the unsolved as we breakdown an ongoing story that has sent shockwaves through the heart of Boston, The Curious Case of Karen Read.
This episode will focus on the untimely death of John O'Keefe - a respected 16 year veteran of the Boston PD - and his long time girlfriend Karen Read who awaits trial after being charged with his murder. In doing so we'll analyze the alleged cover-up that she and her defense team have put forth which posits that there is a conspiracy orchestrated by high-ranking officials in the Boston and Canton police department's circles of power to frame her for John's murder.
Will Karen Read's claims hold water or are they merely the musings of a woman on the edge of desperation? Join us as we attempt to untangle the web that threatens to ensnare a presumably innocent woman. It's a journey that will test your beliefs and challenge your perception of justice.
Remember as we embark on this chilling odyssey, the truth can be a slippery creature, hiding in the shadows, waiting to be unearthed. The porpoises, silent witnesses to the unseen currents of this tale, will guide us with their wisdom and intuition.
Let's wax this wicked porpoise.

Ep. 62 - No Time to Die (2021)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back a man whose gaze could pierce through the thickest fog - Staring Jon, the enigmatic oracle of intrigue - to wrap up our Daniel Craig Bond era retrospective with the fifth and final entry in the series, a dark symphony of espionage and treachery, where secrets are currency and the twin dragons of love and loyalty clash with ruthless cunning, No Time to Die from 2021.
Join us as we recap G-Baby's dance with the devilish elixir known as Malort from the last episode, who may have overindulged and gifted us with an impromptu performance of the technicolor yawn, explore the depths of Bond's character and the seemingly impenetrable legacy Daniel Craig has left us with and wrap up with some fun Amazon reviews, namely the wild west hellscape of Haribo's line of sugar free gummy bears.
Remember, dear listeners, in this realm of high stakes and even higher body counts, one must always keep their wits sharp and their Malort intake in check.
And in the case of 5 year old Mathilde, James YOU ARE THE FATHER!

Ep. 61 - Clay Pigeons (1998)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again welcome Bob from the Straight Chilling podcast this time to embark upon a twisted journey where death dances hand in hand with dark humor and porpoises dare not swim to breakdown the comedic desert noir banger from 1998, Clay Pigeons. 
Join us as we draw a line in the sand to champion late 90's gems such as The Cable Guy and Romy & Michele's High School Reunion, make a case for the return of coin operated vibrating beds in motels, and blur the line between right and wrong - almost as much as G-Baby's vision after a few too many rounds of Malort.  Brace yourselves for a devilishly delightful discussion that will leave you questioning your own moral compass.
And remember, as we venture into this odyssey through the high desert's darkest secrets, beware the allure of Robaire's Rubbers... for once you've felt their touch, there's no going back.
Let's wax this macabre porpoise.

Ep. 60 - Navy Seals (1990)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back returning champion and fellow "Martini Rancher" Chris from Channel 83 to hopefully break out of his slump with our review of Navy SEALs from 1990 starring Charlie Sheen, Michael Biehn, Joanne Whalley, Dennis Haysbert and last but not least, our man Bill "Hips" Paxton is on the menu.  Welcome to America where our main export in this geopolitical action smacker is PAIN and 75% of the budget went to securing Peruvian fish scale for Charlie Sheen.
Join us as we dive into an impromptu retrospective of Charlie Sheen's filmography, highlight enough trash one liners to fully satiate G-Baby's echolalia input demands for an entire year, and touch on a couple horrific reviews that serve as an indictment of the American people rather than the movie.  Listen in to find out which actor said that working on this film was "probably the worst experience of my life".
If Ted Nugent, John Wayne, and George Washington had a baby it would be Navy SEALs - any questions?
Well you know for me, the action is the juice.
Let's wax this Sea, Air and Land porpoise.

Ep. 59 - L.A. Confidential (1997)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve answer Cher's timeless question if I could turn back time and head to 1950's Los Angeles to rap about the star studded 1997 neo-noir banger, L.A. Confidential.
Join us as we interrogate IMDb and their proprietary "without mercy" rating system, endure quite possibly the best bad review of all time, and ask the question have ye a valediction boyo?  Kevin Spacey does such a great job in this movie you'll be thinking "me too?" - more like "me three."
Two scoops?  Make it three, I'm not driving.
Let's wax this porpoise cut to look like a movie star.
