Oscar? I Don't Even Know 'Er!

In this week's podcast, Keith and Joe go into some depth about just why this year's Oscar ceremony seems to have been scrapped from Satan's duodenum. Seriously, folks, the numbers appear to be up for this year's broadcast, but I'm of the opinion that everyone involved in the ceremony should be loaded onto a boat and then sunk. Baz Luhrmann should never be allowed to make another movie after the craptacular dance-straveganza he choreographed. This was twelve hours of my life I'll never get back.

We also touch on movie sequels that sucked ass, TV show-based video games that suck ass and ex-girlfriends that make us so very glad we married who we married.

So go give it a listen and then come back here and tell us your choices for the absolute worst movie follow-ups of all time. Or don't. We won't think less of you either way.

My Breakfast Reunion with Oscar Was Stimulating

For our landmark 15th episode, we decided to string together a bunch of unrelated topics and just blather on about them for awhile. It's really special.

The first topic is truly near and dear to my heart. In fact, I'd be delighted to hear what any of our listeners (we're going to go ahead and pretend that some exist) have to say on the subject of breakfast food. Favorites? Savory vs sweet? Egg style?

So give a listen and please feel free to share your thoughts with us. Hell, we might even mention you in our next podcast, as long as you also send a naked picture.

Zzzzzzz...Huh? Where Am I?

Hey! We're not dead!

Nine months since we last spoke, we're back with an all-new episode of The Conversation. Since all of our original listeners have long since died off, we're hoping to corrupt an entirely new generation of iTune customers.

So, whether you click on this link or go to the Recent Episode list to the right or just get it off of your iTunes feed, please enjoy the return of Mssrs. Baloneypants and Felcher, as we discuss fatherhood and Facebook and Farrack Fofama.

Is This Thing On?

Hey folks. Bob here. Just wanted to tell anyone who might have stumbled across this site (at this point, I doubt anyone is actively seeking us out) what's going on and why we haven't been heard from in so very, very long.

Well, things have been a mite hectic for Karl and myself.

Karl's dog has been ill. So he's spent a good deal of time looking after the poor critter. On top of that, he's been training--as was mentioned in a previous podcast--for a late-night marathon in Tromso, Norway. In fact, he's in Norway as I write this.

And as for me, I'm not that busy, I'm just lame.

Because of all this, the hectic schedules and the lameness, The Conversation has kind of taken a back-seat to the rest of our lives.

Rest assured, though, we are simply on a hiatus. In fact, our long-awaited Salute to Shitty Cinema as been recorded and is simply awaiting some final edits from the busy, busy Karl. I promise you, we'll be back on our feet and spouting pointless nonsense that nobody wants to listen to before you know it.

Meanwhile, here's hoping that you're enjoying your summer and spending as much time as possible not vomiting.

We're Back!

Hey folks, just when you were starting to give up hope; just when you were tying your rope in a noose to hang yourself; just when everything was looking at its bleakest, The Conversation is back to give your life new meaning!

After a nearly six week hiatus during which Mr. Karl Baloneypants underwent the necessary surgery to transform him into Ms. Karen Baloneypants, The Conversation has returned.

So click here or, if you're a click-o-phobe, find us at Podomatic.com or start up your iTunes and wait for us to drip like delicious filtered coffee onto your computer. Then, get ready to rock!

(Actually, there's nothing particularly "rockin'" about this episode. It's more like smooth jazz or contemporary R&B.)

Joan...Rivers?

Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's my imagination. But Joan Jett doesn't look the same to me. And not in a "getting older" kind of way. In a "I just had someone use a scalpel on my face" kind of way. I don't know. You all can judge for yourselves.

Maybe the incredible similarities between Michael J. Fox and Carmen Electra are just throwing me. I don't know.

Happier Than a Pig In Shit(ty Movies)

As mentioned in the now-available-for-download Episode 10, The Conversation is getting ready for our upcoming Salute to Shitty Movies!

Now, we're giving you the opportunity to join in the fun with our Conversation Home Game! Simply watch all four Shitty Movie selections (They Live, Cliffhanger, Road House & Silverado) and send us your feedback.

Which movie makes the best use of shitty dialogue? Which features the hammiest acting? Which makes you want to shout to the tree-tops that you're enamored of reveling in utter shit and which makes you want to call up God and demand two hours of your life back?

So get cracking, Convers-o-philes! Watch some utter crap and share your opinions. Because, at The Conversation, we really care what you think.

Sorry, strike that. That should have read, We "really" care what you think.
