    300 (2007)

    If I’ve learned one thing doing 300 episodes of this show, it’s that you do NOT want to piss off a demented and super jacked Warlord when they come by requesting a special episode of the podcast. Thankfully, said Warlord’s special request of Zack Snyder’s 300 just so happens to perfectly line up with Apocalypse Video’s 300th episode. I don’t know if that’s divine planning or just super obvious programming on our part, but hey, I’m not going to argue with the Warlord who forced me to record this episode. Anyway, let’s oil up and talk about some good old ancient bloodlust and violence. AROO!! AROO!!!I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we prepare for glory are fellow cinephiles and rejected Spartan warriors Ryan, Kara, and Janna, with special guest and Supreme Warlord of the Wasteland: Fridgius. Topics of discussion in this episode include the messed up childcare system in ancient Sparta; Janna professes her love for “the sexiest sex scene in all of Cinema”; and finally, we talk about the dawn of digital filmmaking, and whether this was the beginning of a bold, new era or the first of many to abandon sets and locations for a lifeless greenscreen alternative.

    Duck Soup (1933)

    Hello, and welcome to another month of Apocalypse Video’s look at the wondrous world of Nature. For the month of March, we leave behind the ocean waters and take to the skies to observe the many species that inhabit the world above our heads. This…is March of the Penguins (...And Other Bird Related Films).On the final installment of March of the Penguins (And Other Bird Related Films), we discuss the Marx Bird. A pioneer in the world of comedy; the Marx Bird uses fast speech and word play to confuse its prey while it moves in for the punchline. Its techniques are so effective, that they are still being used by its comedy progenitors nearly a hundred years later. And there is no finer example of the Marx Bird in its prime…than Duck Soup. I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we go off to War are fellow cinephiles and bird lovers Mike and Ryan. Topics of discussion in this episode include the hornieness of pre-code movies; Ryan explains the importance of watching a Marx Brothers film with a crowd; and finally, we try to solve the mystery that has puzzled mankind for a hundred years: what the hell is Zeppo Marx’s deal?

We’ll see you then!
