Demonic Vegans Shooting Acid

The Buddies sit down with artisinal Moscow Mules for a rousing play-through of their new favorite game, Superfight! A not-invisible Dr. Horrible squares off against his own insidious creation(s), and a unicorn with catlike reflexes gets a fancy upgrade.

Mike then relays his experiences drinking in downtown Austin, TX, and the local slogan “Keep Austin Weird” is 100% confirmed. S’mike counters with his experience hanging out with the late improv legend Del Close during his last visit to Austin, and the made-up-just-now slogan “Del Close was fricking insane” is also 100% confirmed.

A 2-year-old’s birthday party also gets a play-by-play break-down, complete with round-robin bounce-housing, cookie cake meltdowns and Disney merchandising.

Also: the socio-political state of modern-day Russia! Improv mills! And no Star Wars spoilers!

BIS Episode XXIX: The Spoiler Awakens

Leave a reply

And thus, the spoilers begin. The curmudgeonly Buddies spare Star Wars Episode VII no quarter, and many a spoiler and plot weakness are discussed.

And mocked.

There’s some praise, too.

Did we mention spoilers?

Also, a REALLY good drink is created! More stories from the TV pilot filming! And seriously, S-P-O-I-L-E-R-S.

You’ve been warrrrrrned.

Myths and the Dark Side (of Geekdom)

“And lo, did Buddies In Space return to form.”

No guests. No gimmicks. Just sheer, unmitigated, mildly antagonistic geek humor, baby! The Star Wars ticket pre-sale madness gets it’s due while hipster-Jamaican drinks are thrown together and consumed. Computer names and builds are discussed and then, inevitably, argued over.

Warning: there’s some nerd smack-talk up in this podcast…

Mike expounds on Joseph Campbell, his beliefs on mythology and how social media is utterly destroying the communal elements of humanity. You know, nothing deep or anything. Also the “Star Wars Is Anti-White” BS movement gets dissected, as does the darker side of the geek community.

S’Mike then shows off his fancy smartwatch. Shiny!

Also: DC’s unintentionally racist Vathlo Island. 3D movies. Edith Bunker or Hamilton or whatever.

Bam. Every element of geekdom served.

May the Fourth Be With Your Wallet

Leave a reply

The Buddies relive their Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica toy days from childhood, complete with REAL toy sounds (thanks, Youtube!) Also, Mike forces S’mike to begrudgingly talk about Star Wars on Star Wars day. Over and over and over again. The Star Wars Holiday Special might even get critiqued. Guess you’ll hafta listen to find out, huh?

Actors’ names forgotten in this podcast, in the order they are forgotten:

-Melissa McCarthy
-Naomi Watts
-Art Carney
-Scott Schwartz

Yup. Memory is a fleeting thing.

Also, S’Mike develops blower envy.
