Ep 23: Mountain Dew Jello, Zombeavers, and The Lego Movie

Summary: We start out this weeks episode with a special bonus segment. If you listened last week, you may recall a little idea we had about Mountain Dew Jello. Well, that is no longer just an idea, we made it happen, and it was good! We think there still needs to be some tweaking, but we'll be publishing the recipe soon! Also on this weeks episode we discuss some movies we watched (Lego Movie, Monuments Men), we watch the new trailer for Zombeavers, and Josh shares some pooping stories. On this weeks episode of the Intermission Podcast: Mountain Dew Jello! First up, we try our Mountain Dew Jello. I think we all came to an agreement that the plain, straight Mountain Dew and gelatin was the best, but next time we want to try it with Mountain Dew concentrate. So, whoever wants to send us some.... Zombeavers Right out of the gate, Josh throws down this awesome new trailer for Zombeavers! I don't want to start sounding like Corey, but it looks really awesome! No matter how awesome Zombeavers looks though, we are still expecting a straight to DVD/TV release, possibly SyFy. The Expendabelles The Expendabells, a reboot of the Expendables that will feature a mostly female cast. Does the Expendables really need a reboot already? I can completely understand wanting to include a more female cast, but just throw some badass chicks in with the Expendables. There is really no need for there own film. Independence Day 2 / MIB 4 Rumors It's hard to follow something like Zombeavers, but Corey announces that Big Willie himself (Will Smith) will not be participating in an Independence Day Sequel. It's speculated that it is all about money, but who knows. While we are talking about Independence Day 2 and MIB 4, Guy get's really patriotic. Not trying to make light of his patriotism, but it was hilarious! The Olympics For the most part we aren't huge sports fans at the Intermission Podcast, but where would we be if we didn't at least mention the Olympics? Or as Josh calls it, figure skating. We speculate that the women's hockey players wear face cages to help keep them pretty. Jurassic World being shot in large format? Did you know that Jurassic World is being shot in film? Well, not only is it being shot in film, but parts are being shot in large format (65mm) film! It can only be assumed that Jurassic World may be getting an IMAX release, which would be completely cool in our book. Guy raises the question of, will the original cast be involved? This was a stumper for the MovieGuys, we'll get back with you on that. The Lego Movie After Josh scheduled a group outing for us to go and watch the Lego Movie, only 3/4 of us showed up. Guess who missed out, Josh! Yeah, we're pretty steamed too! Our viewing was only a 2-D show, and we don't normally say this, but we think it was probably worthy of a 3D ticket. Some voices to listen for in the Lego Movie: Bad Cop / Good Cop - Liam Neeson Superman - Channing Tatum Green Lantern - Jonah Hill Abe Lincoln - Will Forte Metal Beard - Nick Offerman Shaquille O'Neil - Himself Monuments Men Craig and Josh went and watched Monuments Men without Guy and Corey. They weren't very happy because they really wanted to see it. They both really liked the film, but Craig really liked the fact that John Goodman didn't ruin it. The film was also based on a true story, which makes us wonder, exactly how much of it was really true? Toilet Stories Unfortunately for our listeners we do tell some toilet stories this week. Yeah, we know, it's pretty gross. But hey, it's pretty funny and was bound to happen eventually.
