8/10/07 - Shaolin Rain, Party Like an Armo, Survivorman, and Mr. Moviefone's Movie Beat
Listen to all today's segments at the K&B Archive, here.
Ralph was out 'sick' (meaning, in Vegas, Bean thinks) today.
Darrell Hammond will be performing at the Irvine Improv tonight and tomorrow.
8:10 - Les Stroud is Survivorman
In the Discovery Channel show Surivorman, Les Stroud is dropped in a new harsh, remote environment every week, and shows how he survives all by himself. Sound familiar? Yup, Bear Grylls was on the show talking about his nearly-identical program, Man vs. Wild just a few weeks ago. Only some press stories came out accusing him of sleeping in hotels, and staging some scenarios. So does Les think Bear is a big pussy? Les said he has never met Bear, nor talked to him: "Your words, not mine!"
8:43 - Mr. Moviefone's Movie Beat
Russ Leatherman, aka Mr. Moviefone, filled in for Ralph. Someone who has actually seen the movies he's reviewing - whaaaaaaat?!
Rush Hour 3 - Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are back, in case anyone cared. A clip of Christ and Jackie doing a 'Who's on First?' bit. Kevin couldn't imagine anyone THAT old bit in this day and age (Beeeean?). "Lame, tired, and yet, Chris Tucker is getting $20 million for this! He should give $19 million back."
Stardust - Admittedly feeling a little gay, Russ absolutely loved this fantasy movie, calling dubbing it the most original movie of the summer, and enjoyable by your kids and grandparents alike. "I was riveted the entire way."
Daddy Day Camp - A movie so bad even Eddie Murphy wouldn't reprise his role (Daddy Day Care). So Cuba Gooding Jr. takes over. "While taking money back from Chris Tucker, let's take back Cuba's Oscar! A big old giant turd of a film, the worst movie of the weekend."
Descent - The good news: Rosario Dawson is in an NC-17 rated movie. The bad news: she's raped and deals with revenge and rebuilding her life. Not exactly good times.
9:12 - Chocolate Rain Parodies: Shaolin Rain
The Internet has surpassed the greatness of TV for Bean. He recommended Jimmy Kimmel's spoof on the Bourne Ultimatum, starring his security guard Guillermo:
Or Tay Zonday's 'Chocolate Rain'. The dude sings the worst song in the world, looks like a skinny 17 year old boy with big oversized glasses, and while he sings, constantly moves away from microphone whenever he breathes in, yet has an unexpectedly deep booming voice.
The video has spawned over 4,000 remixes, spoofs, and answer songs ("Vanilla Snow"), including a nun playing an acoustic guitar, a guy in a Darth Vader suit, a McGruff the Crime Dog puppet, and even one by Tre Cool, the drummer for Green Day.
And now comes Kevin and Bean's version, starring Intern Shaolin Robot! Finally, we get to see what the wacky intern looks like!
9:30 - Psycho Mike's Latest Armenian Song, "Party Like an Armo"
In the epic battle of the race songs, risking another Arab-Israeli-sized conflict, Psycho Mike has come back with an answer song to SAM'S answer song. It's called "Party Like an Armo". It's on!
Monday: details on a revamped Inland Invasion, now called "KROQ-LA Invasion"
Have a great weekend, and don't bogart that joint, my friends!
So this all happened during Friday's show: I happened to be available for
"What it do Nephew" (I'm usually at work by then!), so I called in to see
what they might have to say. I got through and spoke with The King of
Mexico, telling him the situation. So he put me on hold, and while I'm on
hold, the show is playing, they are taking calls, and after they finish
with a caller, I hear Bean say, "Uhh, by the way, to whoever's answering
the phones, you can disconnect line 4, we'll NEVER speak with that person
on the air..."
The previous comment was in regards to my attempt to call-in to "What It
Do, Nephew?" on Friday, to let them know the plan my friend had to take me
to TJ on Saturday after Rock the Bells to get over the first hump
(figuratively and literally!).
