Waxing the Porpoise

Ep. 58 - Spectre (2015)

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)

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.
Let's wax this hand-to-hand porpoise.

Ep. 56 - King of New York (1990)

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

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.

Ep. 54 - Skyfall (2012)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back special guest Staring Jon, whose piercing gaze has been known to make grown men weep and porpoises wax themselves in fear. This unholy trifecta has united once again for our continuation of the Daniel Craig era Bond retrospective, this time examining the third entry Skyfall from 2012, a film that's akin to a finely crafted martini: it's sleek, it's sophisticated, and it packs one hell of a punch.
Join us as we discuss how this Bond's psychological depth and emotional complexity sets it apart from the rest, take a quick Prometheus / Noomi "We Were So Wrong" Rapace detour and finish off with a bad review that almost ejecto seato cuz's G-Baby out of his seat.
Tip up your cup, throw your hands up and get ready to wax poetic - who knows, maybe Staring Jon will even grace us with a glance... if we're lucky.
Let's wax this clandestine porpoise.

Ep. 53 - Steve’s Dad vol. 1

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome a very special guest and friend of the show, dad of the show, AKA the Usual Suspect senior Steve's Dad, or simply Tom, for what is sure to be a two-parter.
Join us as we discuss the Tomfather's time as a medic and firefighter before ultimately joining the police academy and then hitting the streets. 
Along the way he'll share some fun and insane stories which really illustrate how crazy of a job being a cop truly is.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to subdue someone high on PCP? 
Be sure to stay tuned for volume two where we'll discuss his later career including his time in the secret service.

Ep. 52 - Basic Instinct (1992)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve take on the leg crossing, ice pick gouging, pre-baked alibi making, Single White Female having, Michael Douglas crime thriller vehicle and infamous Sharon Stone smacker, Basic Instinct from 1992.
Join us as we take a dive almost as deep as Michael Douglas' V-neck, make a hail mary connection to Lethal Weapon 2, and meditate on the puritanical panic espoused by the release of 1995's Showgirls.
If you have an ice pick, burn it and leave it to beaver.

Ep. 51 - Murdaugh Post-Mortem

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome special guest, friend of the show and Zaxby's enthusiast the Natening aka Thon from the Ghoulish University podcast to discuss the verdict and aftermath of the Alex Murdaugh murder trial.
Join us as we attempt to separate belief from certainty as guided by the evidence, unlike the jury, take a look at the evidence that was (and wasn't) presented to the jury to decide - did the state meet their burden, and learn the difference between voir dire and bauhaus. 
Strap in and get your Tums ready for a discussion that might ruffle some feathers because one of the hosts may end up on the Rushmore of unpopular opinions.

Ep. 50 - Santa Sangre (1989)

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome a very special guest, the astutely articulate and affable arbiter of authenticity, Ran-Diesel from the Straight Chilling podcast to discuss a midnight fever dream Psycho meets LSD tableau, Santa Sangre from 1989.
Join us as we ask the question is it a good idea to give the residents of an asylum cocaine and prostitutes? Or is it a GREAT idea?
From visuals so psychedelic you might think you've dropped acid to mommy issues that would make even Freud uncomfortable, this gringo circus runs the gamut.
