Ep. 64 - The Last Detail (1973)
Thursday Jun 29, 2023
Thursday Jun 29, 2023
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
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
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)
Thursday Jun 15, 2023
Thursday Jun 15, 2023
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!
Let's wax this timeless porpoise.

Ep. 61 - Clay Pigeons (1998)
Thursday Jun 08, 2023
Thursday Jun 08, 2023
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)
Thursday Jun 01, 2023
Thursday Jun 01, 2023
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)

Thursday May 25, 2023
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.

Ep. 58 - Spectre (2015)
Thursday May 18, 2023
Thursday May 18, 2023
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back special guest Staring Jon, a man whose gaze could freeze an inferno and is rivaled only by The Penance Stare. Together we'll unravel the web that is Spectre, the penultimate entry of Daniel Craig's Bond from 2015.
Join us as we examine the convoluted plot that will leave you more than a little "banjaxed", christen the return of Monica Bellucci with an oath of fealty to her dumper, and opine about a brighter future that includes a sequel to Blue Streak.
Be warned, as we dance with shadows and sip from the chalice of treachery, there's no telling who will emerge unshaken or stirred - or if our dear porpoises will ever be the same again.
Let's wax this phantasmagorical porpoise.

Ep. 57 - The Raid 2 (2014)
Thursday May 11, 2023
Thursday May 11, 2023
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve are pleased to welcome Logan, Naterade and Thon from the Ghoulish University podcast to discuss what some believe to be one of the best action films of all time, Gareth Evans' The Raid 2 from 2014.
Join us as we discuss this surprisingly layered film that is no doubt punctuated by some intensely choreographed action set pieces, add to Logan's well of gay fan fiction, patricide, and debate on the better assassin gimmick - dual wielding hammers, baseball bat, or raptor claws?
You know I always thought bucket hats were kinda Streisand but Bunawar's really rockin' it in this one.

Ep. 56 - King of New York (1990)

Thursday May 04, 2023
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again welcome back returning champion and fellow "unctuous philistine" Chris from Channel 83. This time we find ourselves in Gotham to discuss Abel Ferrara's seminal vesicle, King of New York from 1990 starring Chris Walken, a scene-stealing performance by Laurence "Don't Call Me Larry" Fishburne, David Caruso and minor roles for Wesley Snipes, Giancarlo Esposito and Steve Buscemi.
Join us as we sip on a few adult beverages and discuss why Jade is the better David Caruso vehicle, get treated to a Freddie "Rock Me Tonight (for Old Time's Sake)" Jackson appearance that G-Baby was particularly fond of and discuss the importance of fusion cuisine through the lens of the burrito in an ever-evolving world.
A nickel bag gets sold in the park, we want in.

Ep. 55 - Steve’s Dad vol. 2

Thursday Apr 27, 2023
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve are pleased to welcome back once again very special guest and friend of the show, dad of the show, Steve's dad The Tomfather.
Join us as we discuss the Tomfather's time as a secret service agent throughout the 1980's where he was tasked with the protection of Jesse Jackson during his one of his two presidential campaigns, the commander-in-chief himself at the time Ronald Reagan, and other various high level officials and foreign dignitaries.
We'll hear about the reality of being a secret service member from the perks to the day to day grind to the sacrifices that come with the territory - and hear more than a few interesting stories along the way.
Pop quiz, hotshot - if the President offered you half a cookie, would you accept it?
Let's wax this shadowy porpoise.

Only the choice nugs
Unsatisfied with dedicating an entire podcast to a singular topic, hosts G-Baby and Steve embark on a journey of discovery decided by chance - each episode one of three possible topics will be examined. We’ll either review a hidden (or not-so-hidden) cinematic gem previously unseen by the resident film neophyte Steve; discuss any number of strange, mysterious, or otherwise unexplained events; or finally a random wild-card topic of our choosing. We’re here for the deep cuts; only the choice nugs as it were. Guided by G-Baby, the sage shaman of useless information himself, we’ll see what Steve’s been missing out on in cinema and learn about some weird stuff along the way. Tip up your cup and throw your hands up - let’s wax this porpoise.
