The Dumb Cool Weird Podcast

Wes and Nick start a their own legendary journey watching the Hercules Tv Show Movies with the first one being about amazon women who hate men and want to sleep with them at the same time. Travel back in time with us to the era of demigods and myths, as we unveil the quirky origins of "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and its foundational TV movie, "Hercules and the Amazon Women." Experience a fresh take on Kevin Sorbo's earlier, more Herculean build and the impact his political opinions have had, akin to those of fellow actors Clint Eastwood and Bruce Willis. Our discussion doesn't shy away from the contentious, diving into Chris Pratt's religious controversy, but we always circle back to the classic tale of a muscle-bound hero in a world where Zeus might just be the most irresponsible father in mythology.Prepare for a hearty chuckle as we dissect the gender-bending hijinks and straight-to-the-point romance in the midst of a womanless village's conundrum. We spotlight an early appearance by Lucy Lawless and ponder the deus ex machina ending that somehow still leaves us charmed by the practical effects of '90s TV magic. So, arm yourself with snacks and nostalgia – our Movie Monday is an invitation to relive the adventures that paved the way for Xena and set the stage for Hercules' epic journey. Plot:Hercules returns home to visit his mother Alcmene and to the wedding of his best friend Iolaus. Out of the blue, the villager Pithus arrives asking for help to Hercules to defeat monsters that are attacking his distant village. Hercules travels with Iolaus to fight the monsters and soon they learn that they are indeed Amazons controlled by the evil Hera.Support the show:🎤 Go to listen to the audio podcast on your favorite platform: https://dumbcoolweirdpodcast.buzzsprout.com/share🌐 To see more stuff, buy some merch, or support us go to https://www.retroradfilms.com/dumbcoolweirdpodcast😀 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/retroradfilms/📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/retroradfilms/🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/retroradfilms🌴 Links: https://linktr.ee/retroradfilms

Wes and Nick tackle a song that everyone remembers and tries to forget. Well surprise here it is again. Background:Friday co-writer Patrice Wilson, a co-founder of ARK Music Factory, explained that he "wrote the lyrics on a Thursday night going into a Friday. I was writing different songs all night and was like, 'Wow, I've been up a long time and it's Friday.' And I was like, wow, it is Friday!"[14][15]An ARK Music Factory client told Black's mother about the company's production services in late 2010; Black was 13 at the time, and living in the Anaheim Hills planned community in Anaheim, California.[16][17] Black's mother, Georgina Kelly, paid ARK Music $4,000 for a song and accompanying video that included a choice of two pre-written songs "Super Woman" and "Friday". According to Kelly, the payment covered one half or less of the production costs of the music video, and Black's family could have paid nothing in exchange for giving up all rights to the song.[16][18] Black chose "Friday", as "Super Woman" "was about adult love–I haven't experienced that yet". "I felt like it was my personality in that song".[19][20] ARK Music extensively used the pitch-correcting software Auto-Tune.[21] Although Kelly had some doubts over the quality of the lyrics, Black assured her that "she sang it as they wrote it."[17]Support the show:🎤 Go to listen to the audio podcast on your favorite platform: https://dumbcoolweirdpodcast.buzzsprout.com/share🌐 To see more stuff, buy some merch, or support us go to https://www.retroradfilms.com/dumbcoolweirdpodcast😀 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/retroradfilms/📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/retroradfilms/🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/retroradfilms🌴 Links: https://linktr.ee/retroradfilms

He gets a chance to test his theories when he meets Ollie and Martha Higgins, who own and operate a second-run movie theater. Martha is deaf and mute and if she is unable to scream, extreme fear should make the creature, which Chapin has called the Tingler, come to life and grow. Using LSD to induce nightmares, he begins his experiment.Support the show:🎤 Go to listen to the audio podcast on your favorite platform: https://dumbcoolweirdpodcast.buzzsprout.com/share🌐 To see more stuff, buy some merch, or support us go to https://www.retroradfilms.com/dumbcoolweirdpodcast😀 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/retroradfilms/📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/retroradfilms/🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/retroradfilms🌴 Links: https://linktr.ee/retroradfilms

Wes and Nick recount there time listening to this awesome track as a kid and laughing. Background:On the first day of recording, Eminem and Dr. Dre finished "My Name Is" in an hour.[5]The song contains a sample of Labi Siffre's track "I Got The...". Siffre, who is openly gay, said in a 2012 interview that he refused to clear the sample until sexist and homophobic lyrics were removed from the song: "Dissing the victims of bigotry – women as bitches, homosexuals as faggots – is lazy writing. Diss the bigots not their victims."[6] The original uncensored version of the song with the aforementioned offending lyrics is mistakenly included on the compilation The Source Hip Hop Music Awards 1999. The bass and guitar riff used in the sample was performed by Siffre's session musicians Chas Hodges and Dave Peacock, who later became the duo Chas & Dave.[7] "My Name Is" is written in the key of F major.[8] Famous names referenced in the song include Nine Inch Nails, the Spice Girls, and Pamela Anderson (Pamela Lee).[9]Support the show:🎤 Go to listen to the audio podcast on your favorite platform: https://dumbcoolweirdpodcast.buzzsprout.com/share🌐 To see more stuff, buy some merch, or support us go to https://www.retroradfilms.com/dumbcoolweirdpodcast😀 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/retroradfilms/📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/retroradfilms/🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/retroradfilms🌴 Links: https://linktr.ee/retroradfilms
