Good Monday to you all!

Who wants to start the week off with some Scorsese, some Dropkick Murphys and a lot of swearing?!

Oh The Departed, the movie I never thought I would enjoy. I can’t remember where I saw this the first time but I’m sure it was only so I could watch it for my yearly Oscar pool. I’m SO glad that I did though! This is a basic cops and robbers with a twist and has some of the best acting I’ve seen in a long time from some of my favorite actors.

Some show notes:

• The podcast now has a name! I Love That Movie! I tend to say that about just about everything (I love that picture! I love that blanket! I love that lamp!) so I thought it would just be an appropriately fun name!
• This movie really REALLY earns it’s R rating so be forewarned!
• Won Best Director and Best Picture of the Year 2007
• Scorsese now has just as many Oscars as Three 6 Mafia
• Mark Wahlberg = Hilarious!
• Microprocessors? Really?!
• This movie says the F word 237 times!
• Total guy flick but I love this movie!
• I watched this with some of my favorite guys so it was fun to hear what they thought about the movie while I watched it with them!
• My Leonardo DiCaprio confession. Don’t judge me! hehe
• Worst sign off so far but I promise to work on the rambling and sign offs for the future! hehe

I’m going to have to give this movie 3 out of 4 expletives because this movie is a wonderful use of the F Bomb!

Have a movie suggestion for me? I have a crap ton, so odds are I’ll have your movie! If I don’t own it I’ll find it, watch it and if I love it you could see it here!

Here is an awesome music video I found of the movie with a great little ditty by an awesome band, Dropkick Murphys. WARNING: There are a fair amount of F bombs dropped so maybe wait until the little ones are out to the room to watch! hehe

Surprise! So I know you were expecting a blog post but after I wrote out the post I decided it was far too long for what I wanted from this series. SO I am completely jumping out of my comfort zone and starting this off as a podcast! I know it’s a lot to get excited about all at once so take your time…

Just to warn you, this is my very first attempt at audio recording but I must say I’m pretty proud of myself! I think it came out great. Sure there’s a few spots that I wish I could have sounded a little less scatter brained but I think it’s fun that way. This is something completely new just for you so let me know what you think!

Some show notes:

• This week we are talking about Masters of the Universe!
• It’s a pretty shaky plot with some weird side stories but all in all not horrible. It’s not like “Bullet Proof Monk” or “9th Gate” horrible or anything.
• Pop Tarts + my sister’s  She-Ra action figure = Hilarity!
• Skeletor gave me nightmares as a child and still continues to creep me out
• Back in the day Gwildor was super funny but now he’s kind of like the Jar Jar Binks of the He-Man world.
• Perhaps not the cheesiest of cheesy movies but there is definitely a level of Gouda to it…
• I mention at the beginning that I don’t talk a lot in public. That doesn’t mean I’m a hermit or am afraid of the Sun or something along those lines. It means that I’m not a great public speaker so this is a great way for me to break out of my shell. Just wanted to clear that up…hehe
• I noticed after listening to this podcast a few times that I tend to say “um” “basically” and a lot of things tend to be funny to me… I will work on toning those down in the future…
• I mention Wil Wheaton’s two podcasts so here are the links to Radio Free Burrito and Memories of the Futurecast
• The file is 19.3 mb so it’s not small but not huge. I’m still learning this podcast thing so maybe in the future we can make it a bit smaller so it’s easier to download but you should be able to listen in the browser if those 19 mg are just too much for your computer…

Over all I give it two out of four cheese wheels on the cheese scale.

Thanks for listening and

Good Journey to you all!
