40 Going On 14

Can you believe it? We did it! 400 episodes and counting. That’s a difficult task that has been well worth completing. It’s hard to believe, but here we are. To commemorate this momentous occasion, we’re changing things up and getting loose! We’ve tasked you, the listener, to provide us with questions. Things that wouldn’t make a whole episode or questions that you didn’t get answers too previously or just random stuff that you want to know! We’re spending an entire show dedicated to what YOU want and having a dang good time doing it. If you’ve been with us since day one or are a brand new listener or anything else in between, thank you! We love all of you and appreciate your continued support as we blaze a trail towards our next 400 shows. Excelsior! Join our Discord channel HERE!

3, 2, 1.... Let's jam. How could we not start the new year, without talking about this show? An anime that ranks up there as one of the greatest of all time and now it's a live action remake on Netflix. It's our perfect formula for this show. Spike, Faye and Jet are cruising the galaxy in search of the biggest bounty. Joined by Ein and Ed, what could go wrong? If you haven't figured it out by now, we're discussing 'Cowboy Bebop'! The child of Hajime Yatate, this anime is now being brought to life by John Cho, Daniella Pineda and Mustafa Shakir.  We're going to take a trip on the Bebop and find out if this bounty pays off big or if it's just a big bust. Saddle up with Punch and Judy and let's head for the skies! See you space cowboy....   Join our Discord channel HERE!

We’re back, baby and we’re letting the spice flow like wine. After much time in the desert of hiatus, Mike, Pat, Joel and Josh have returned and they’re ready to take on Frank Herbert’s ‘Dune’! In 1984, David Lynch attempted to slay this monster of a sci-fi story. He brought along his friends Kyle MacLachlan, Sting and a whole lot of sandworms. In 2021, Denis Villeneuve is attempting the same thing, but with 99.9% less MacLachlan. If you’re into watching Patrick Stewart stabbing at things, Sting in a codpiece, Jason Momoa being awesome or Zendaya squinting, then ‘Dune’ may be your holy grail of films. Pull out your spice rack and prepare for war, as ’40 Going On 14’ is heading to Arrakis for our ‘Dune’ show! Join our Discord channel HERE!

This is one of the "Lost Shows" from our first year that disappeared during a server switch, but are now getting reposted! Welcome to the #Christmas #Crime show! This episode we watch the classic #DieHard and put it up against the 2005 Kiss, Kiss (Bang, Bang). Which comes out on top? Will it be Bruce Willis and his adventures in Nakatomi Plaza or the LA Noire styling of Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr.?  Join our Discord channel HERE!

This show originally posted in 2013, and was lost during a server switch. Well now it's found just in time for Christmas! Ho Ho Ho! It's the most wonderful time of the year. The time we find out who's naughty or nice and which film about Santa gets a lump of coal.  We're gathered round the fireplace with our copies of 'The Santa Clause' and 'Santa Claus: The Movie', full of Christmas cheer and possible some alcohol. If you listen to only one Christmas themed podcast this year, then make it this one! Mike, Pat, Joel and Josh are hung by the chimney with care, in the hopes that Saint Nicholas soon will be there. Also, hoping that somebody left out some cookies and milk for us too. We get hungry too, you know! Merry Christmas!   Join our Discord channel HERE!

Be ready for 3 more lost holiday shows this month! You're a mean one...MR. GRINCH. Everyone knows this song, and everyone knows Thurl Ravenscroft's baritone voice singing it (but not everyone knows his totally METAL name.) This week we go back to the 1966 #DrSeuss TV special "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" up against Jim Carrey's drug fueled fever-dream movie "The Grinch" from 2000! Which Grinch will come out on top?

Tis’ the season to be gobbly. It’s also that time of year where your belt loops get a little stretched and you may or may not fall asleep on the couch during the big game. This year, why not spend #Thanksgiving with us? That’s right, Mike, Pat, Joel and Josh have warmed up some leftovers for you to enjoy while slowly digesting away that last piece of pie. This is a classic episode from our past (episode 13!) ; all about the biggest meal we all eat every year and a certain yearly tradition involving a turkey, some twine and a backyard. If you don’t already know about it, then you are in for a treat.                                          Wake up, put on your big sweatpants and fix another place of cranberry sauce. It’s our Thanksgiving episode! Gobble, gobble mother cluckers! (This is a show that was "lost" for a while, but has resurfaced, hope you enjoy this year one episode! -Mike) Join our Discord channel HERE! You can donate to the show at our Ko-Fi Page!  

For the final week in OctoBoo, we're discussing one of the longest film titles in history, 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'. Written by Kevin Williamson, hot off of his success with '#Scream', he introduced the world to Ben Willis, the killer fisherman. As of this last week, Amazon Prime has decided to reboot this franchise as a series! We're putting on our rain slickers and are going to talk about it! Is the fisherman back to wreak more havoc or has the script flipped? Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar and the boys from '40 Going On 14' are ready to cover up the murder of a potential reboot. Will you be a victim or just another Freddie Prinze Jr? Only the Gordon's fisherman knows for sure. Also, we'll be taking a break for a little while, but we will return the first week of January with a great list of shows! We've got the new Matrix movie, The Dune series and of course our 400th listener questions episode, be sure to add any questions you have with the link below! Be back soon and thanks for being such great fans! If you'd like to add a question for our 400th show click HERE to go to the form! Loading… Join our Discord channel HERE!

OctoBoo week 2 is here! For this episode, do you dare to say his name 5 times in the mirror? #Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman.... That's right, we're spending an evening with the vocal stylings of Mr. Tony Todd, as well as Yahya Abdul-Mateen, Philip Glass and Jordan Peele. How are these people all connected? By a Clive Barker story that spans the ages.... and bees. Join the four of us as we curl up under our blankets, pop some popcorn and talk about the legend of Daniel Robitaille aka the Candyman. Wait, that was five times? Oh crap. If you'd like to add a question for our 400th show click HERE to go to the form! Loading… Join our Discord channel HERE!
