The Gobeski/Wallace Report Podcast

We squeezed in another Sci-Fi Shuffle episode before Halloween to watch the stop-motion film "Mad God" and can report it is not scary AT ALL. Nope, no nightmares afterward! Still totally able to be optimistic and live normal lives! And more "2000 from the 2000's"!

The moment you've been waiting for - our review of David Lynch's sci-fi film "Dune" for our Sci Fi Shuffle! Did any of us enjoy this incomprehensible space opera? Hmm, maybe enjoy is the wrong word. Did any of us NOT have the urge to turn off the movie at some point? And what did the people sitting next to us on the plane think?

Get ready for Doug's review of the WORST thing he's ever tasted on the podcast! Charlie supports the NFL only slightly more than usual. We dig deeper into the 2000 from the 2000's playlist. And we finally get a Sing-a-Song that breaks Charlie's brain.

Remember when the Internet was The Net? How about The Web? Cyber Space? The Information Super Highway?? Those were great times! Some of those websites still exist, and we've got the world's premiere journalist as our (Netscape) navigator to Internet of Yore. We also add more to our 2000 from the 2000s playlist (we're more than 1% done)!

We add another addendum to the Merry Marvel Movie March with a review of 1992's Marvel-adjacent film "Doctor Mordrid". We all agree there could have been more stop-motion animation and (we can't believe we're saying this) more close-up magic. But it does have a wizard duel, so it's got that going for it! Kevin appreciates a custom carrying case.

Can you believe we're here? 300 episodes down, at least 2 more to go! We relisten to some cringey and not-so-cringey episodes from the past. Special guests Frankie Muniz and Tim Daly team up, finally.

Charlie ruins everything again by picking the thinky movie "Seconds" for our Sci-Fi Shuffle. Kevin is disturbed by the number of holes this movie displays in the human head. Adam drops a truth bomb at old folks trivia night.

Lack of listener feedback suggest you want, nay you DEMAND more gift recounting. Then this, by all rights, should be your favorite episode! Tony and Adam also regale us with stories of Shenanicompactza. Kevin is ambivalent about an influx of memes.

Dan Hess has suggested the 1984 movie "Trancers" for the next edition of our Sci-Fi Shuffle. It's a new addition to the Christmas Canon! Dan has a bone to pick about the one baseball card in the film. We all seem to enjoy ourselves and no, Paul is NOT bitter.

Dust off your old cans of soup, it's time for another Campbellushi Day! Of course there's a sketch and voting for 2025's Campbellushian, but you also get to hear about which of Adam's organs was, at long last, rejected by the rest of his body. Paul needs to think about his contribution to the "2000 from the 2000's" list, so Doug and Charlie stall with some taste tests.

Paul picked "The Core" for this installment of the Sci-Fi Shuffle because he expected it would be the perfect film. And it certainly is a film! I mean, it's got everything: cool teachers, mean scientists, evil super weapons and DJ Qualls! We also talk about birds and whales.

We do even more taste tests than usual, including Troll Churros. We run down what we're playing (which includes math). We review a publicly available high school English project.

Skype is deceased, but we don't let that get us down! We've got plenty of taste tests to drown our sorrows. Doug and Charlie recount an instance where they saw each other in REAL SPACE. We kick off our "2000 from the 2000's" playlist.

Paul and Tony went on a cruise and are still recovering from the excessive food, karaoke and impromptu prank war. How are two boys at sea supposed to manage when their hangovers don't line up? Paul is almost lost to Honduras. Tony buys a magnet.

We regret to inform the listener that we are no longer a "SeaQuest DSV" podcast; we are now a retro gaming podcast. We also regret that only some of us are playing retro games at the moment. Adam regrets not going into debt to obtain an old gaming console. Charlie is warned about the heavy metal content of some chips but eats them anyway.

We have an unexpected guest who isn't pulling any punches. Charlie eats some Easter candy and then ruins it for everyone's amusement. Doug puts tax cheats on notice. Plus, what's in store for James Bond?

The 17th installment of our Sci-Fi Shuffle has us discussing the 2023 animated film "Nimona". We try to imagine what this movie would have been like if it had stayed in the cowardly hands of Disney. Why doesn't anyone fully utilize their flying cars, and how does eveyone know what a whale is? Also, some less pedantic discussion about LGBTQ themes and representation. Paul wishes the Jumbo-tron had just a mouth on it.

Special guests appear and are EXTREMELY ENTHUSIASTIC about being on the show. In fact, both have new lines of fight sticks to promote, with multiple face plate designs and button configurations! Taste tests are interspersed. We all are hired by SNL by default.

Amber Elby and Dan Hess are back on the 16th edition of our Sci-Fi Shuffle to talk about the 2008 film "V for Vendetta", along with the usual cast of characters. Of course, we have to start the discussion arguing whether this even QUALIFIES as sci-fi. The movie makes us all feel bad, despite the sweet-ass kills. But don't let that stop you from watching it - just temporarily deny the existence of all events outside the story itself and you'll be fine!

Charlie laments his lack of knot knowledge. We taste test a puzzling new Doritos flavor. We round out the episode out by recounting our pandemic cabin fever purchases and mourning Charlie's nemesis (David Lynch).
