SuaveStar Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Akira and Die Hard both turn 25 next year. I say a Christmas weeklong event, with the best films set around Christmas, but not actually about Christmas. Like Die Hard, Gremlins etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Like we said last year, Hannah and I are doing our favorite Christmas movies for the December Hey Gurlfriend so if we do a Christmas Week or something, I'd have no problem with our segment getting plugged into that. I'm also up to doing a TV 101 on Christmas Episodes if we do do one. As for Austen's Idea, Love Actually can be added to that list. Technically, since a major plot point is a Christmas Song, About a Boy can fit in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 For a Christmas week can I suggest at least a limit of 2 on the Richard Curtis films allowed? That goes for Tim Burton too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMFP1 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 How about a Marvel TV Movies week. The Incredible Hulk Returns The Trial of the Incredible Hulk The Death of the Incredible Hulk Captain America (1990) Generation-X Power Pack (TV Pilot) Youtube.or Dailymotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 You're forgetting Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD and the two 70s Captain America films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Anyone bad-mouthing Hasselhoff: Agent of SHIELD on my watch gets a knuckle sammich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I really, really dig this idea!I would probably skip the Hulk movies, because those continued on from the show. However, I would cover:Dr. StrangeCaptain AmericaCaptain America II: Death Too SoonPower PackGeneration XNick Fury: Agent of SHIELD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Des, I remember loving the SHIELD movie when it first aired. That said, I loved everything FOX did back then and haven't seen it since. So take that with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Great idea for a week of shows. I didn't even know there were Generation X or Power Pack movies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yeah, the Generation X movie has Matt Frewer, so that automatically gives it an extra star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I remember watching the Gen X movie with my mom when they showed it since we were both X-Men fans at the time. It's not a terrible movie though it smells to high heaven of it's status of being a failed pilot. For the record, there was also a made-for tv Doctor Strange movie in the 70s. Like most of these, it was also a failed pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 A made for TV Dr. Strange movie starring Lucille Fucking Bluth, you mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Obviously, I would be on board for something like this, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mockery Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I don't think I've seen any of these with the exception of the 90s Captain America film. I am intrigued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 The 70s Captain America movies starred Reb Brown, better known as Blast Hardcheese... err... David Ryder in Space Mutiny, as Captain America. The second one had Christopher Lee as the villain. Ian reviewed both for the show a few months back.

dc20willsave Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 It's been about a year since the last Event week so... Terminator Week: 26 October - 01 November 2012 That will be the 30th anniversary of the original Terminator movie, so I'll look at all of the movies, a few episodes of the TV show, and a special treat. With a new movie recently entering development, this could probably be used around when it comes out. Monty Python Week: October 5th-11th, 2014 (would begin 45th anniversary of first episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus) ? Still a ways away but never too early to start thinking. September of 2013 is the anniversary of the first appearance of the X-Men. I'm sure there's enough there for a week's worth of material. Another suggestion might be to use the end of October each year as a Halloween week. Maybe just general talk or an in depth discussion about a specific film franchise. The Halloween more than the other one. Might be worth it if you think doing the Advent Calender again this year might kill you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Also, this November is the 25th anniversary of the first MST3K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Will and I alone could do a whole month on MST3K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 The thing about doing a week on MST3k is how do you start? Do you go for an episode on the best episodes? Do you review actual episodes? How would one accurately review The Movie? A spirited debate over the virtues of Mike vs Joel or even Dr. Forester vs Pearl? Like Dubs said, it would be possible to do an entire month with episodes such as a discussion on the deeper ramifications of beings such as Coilie the Spring Sprite depriving the world of springs or whether Valley Lodge is a real place or a state of mind?

You Know Who Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Monty Python Week: October 5th-11th, 2014 (would begin 45th anniversary of first episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus) ? Still a ways away but never too early to start thinking. I'm admittedly an amateur (if that) at podcasting and probably shouldn't be allowed to edit them (even on my improved computer). However, I would love to do an episode or more with another Python fan going over the franchise's evolution, favorite episodes or sketches, the movies, the group members' post-Python work, etc. I own and have seen every episode of the Flying Circus at least four times (along with the movies) and have read The Pythons autobiography.

Dan Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 What about more generalized theme weeks? Animation Week, Golden/Silver/Bronze Age Comics Week, Black & White Movies Week, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I would be up for taking part in a more general week. If we do an animation week, may a propose making it either obscure, sci-fi/fantasy, or grown-up? Really, any of Dan's ideas there would be awesome to do.
