AWOC: To Fold or To Stand Pat: That is the Question.

10/30/2023
We’re back and, to be honest, we’re stuck. Stuck in the same shows. Stuck in the same series. Stuck even though they might not be as good as they once were. Stuck even though we’ve been disrespected in the past. Stuck even though…it’s the same show. Whatever the case, we’re stuck and in this podcast, we ask ourselves if that’s a good thing or not. Join us on this little soul search of ours and stay for the recommendations. We appreciate you listening! Follow us at @AWOCPodcast on Twitter, like us on Facebook and leave us a review.

AWOC: Skinamarink and general boobery

3/19/2023
Skinamarinkee dinkee deese, it’s the Atomic Weight of Cheese. This episode it’s a bit of round table madness as Mike and Chad have strong feelings about horror film de jour, Skinamarink that leads to a larger conversations about fear in general. We take a quick look at the new zombie/Pedro Pascal show de jour, The Last of Us. The we round it out with some good, old fashioned complaining about streaming services, because why not?

AWOC: Pardon us. Would you have any Grey Poupon?

10/8/2022
Hmm, yes, this episode of the Atomic Weight of Cheese is quite sophisticated, I must say. Very top shelf as we discuss the topic of pretension. [removes pipe from mouth] You see, we’ve come across some media recently that seems to feel as though it is more important, you see, than the text would indicate and as such has…dare I say it…raised our hackles a bit. Hmm. That Chad fellow even raises his voice, if memory serves. It brought about quite the robust conversation that we hope you will continue on our [squints through monocle] social media. Oh yes, quite strange indeed. Follow us at @AWOCPodcast on Twitter, like us on Facebook and leave us a review.

AWOC: Art is a Commitment

8/9/2022
Art is a commitment of time, energy, attention. And we’ve been noticing some art, lately, that has been abusing the privilege. In this episode, we talk what we’ve seen recently that we wanted more of, what we’ve seen recently that could have used some cutting and what we’ve seen recently. You know, like we tend to do.

AWOC: TCB Baby!

5/10/2022
No non-religious figure has had more written about him than Elvis Presley and no filmmaker tries to pack more movie into his movies than Baz Luhrman. So, when the trailer for “Elvis” was released a few weeks ago (starring Tom Hanks in a fat suit as Col. Tom Parker) we had some things to say. And we will be first in line to get a peek at this bonkers looking movie…in a good way. Follow us on the socials and tell us what you think of Tom Hank’s accent below. Thanks for listening.

AWOC: The Power of the Rube

3/20/2022
Men can be complicated, am I right, ladies? One minute, they’re telling you exactly what in your purse, the next minute they’re addicted to opium and biting the heads off of chickens. Or one minute they’re driving you to alcoholism and the next minute they’re pissing off Sam Elliott. Either way, this week we take a look at two highly regarded films currently streaming - Nightmare Alley and The Power of the Dog both of which are remarkable films in their own ways.

AWOC: We couldn't remember the three rules either

1/20/2022
Look, we’ve all got that movie. The one we didn’t get around to for…personal reasons. Or, you just never got around to it, even though you love the filmmaker, the concept and everyone involved. Which is a long way of saying Chad and Steph have never seen Gremlins 2. In this episode we tear Joe Dante’s Gremlins 2: The New Batch, marvel at it’s loony glory and go on way too many tangents. Kind of like the flick! Plus we dive into some recommendations. We’d love to hear what you think about this particularly wacky piece of career suicide.

AWOC: A Reheated Turkish Delight

11/29/2021
As we are all stuffed with turkey, we’ve got one more massive bite for ya. In the age before the Internet there were rumors of a “Turkish Star Wars”, a film so odd and with a history so tangled that it was instantly legendary before it was widely seen. A few months ago a copy appeared online and…yeah. We watched it. Strap in and get ready for “The Man Who Saved The World” aka Turkish Star Wars. We appreciate you listening.

AWOC: There's always room for Giall-O

10/20/2021
A few weeks ago all three of us converged from across the country to attend “GialloFest” at the Riverside Drive-In in Vandergrift, Pennsylvania. In this pod we discuss the 8(!) lurid, murderous and artistically minded Italian slasher flicks, as well as some stories about the trip and the fun had along the way. It’s a super sized podcast along with some recommendations that will cover more than you ever wanted to know about the horror phenomenon that is “Giallo”. Thanks for listening!

AWOC: Murder Ballads and Teenage Tragedy: Vol. 1

8/6/2021
Every now and then, art can break through the noise and clutter and punch you in the face, which is what happened this week. In the rare music episode we discuss murder, ballads, teenage tragedy, love songs involving sharks and songs that beg the question "wait, what?" It's an all storytelling episode and the tales of woe are INTENSE! Plus recommendations. We would love to hear your favorite murder ballads on the socials at Atomic Weight of Cheese. We would also love for you to leave an extremely depressing 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts or the podcatcher of your choice. Thanks for listening.

AWOC: Miss Minutes wants you to be sure and listen, mmkay?

7/11/2021
We are the Atomic Weight of cheese and we are burdened with glorious purpose. In this episode, we take a look at the first few episodes of the Douglas Adams meets Terry Gilliam meets Stan Lee abomination that is Loki, and take some time to touch on the other Marvel shows on Disney Plus as well. There’s some good stuff in there and, like usual, we get more nerdy than you require. But so do these shows. Follow us at @AWOCPodcast on Twitter, like us on Facebook and leave us a review.

With Steph and Shannon launching a new podcast about Dungeons and Dragons, this week we’re talking about the wildest genre out there.

AWOC: Superturds

5/17/2021
A long time ago in a culture far, far away, some of our favorite comedians did a thing. This thing, which was not a good thing, is from an era of the past, when the word “nerd” meant something different than it does today. Join us as we take a look at the little scene pilot to “Supernerds” which leads to a conversation about what the hell that was, what it was trying to be and what it means for culture at large today. It’s a good conversation about a bad idea and we hope you enjoy it. Follow us at @AWOCPodcast on Twitter, like us on Facebook and leave us a review.

4/11/2021
Here at the Atomic Weight of Cheese we love the little things - a comfortable chair, a great conversation and character actors who continue to amaze us. In this episode we talk about one such actor, Cloris Leachman, who recently passed. From her well-known comedy to her lesser known movies of the week, we give a great character actor a proper send off.

To cheese or not to cheese, that is...a question. I suppose.

3/2/2021
Steph has a new passion of restoring pieces of furniture and to celebrate, we are dwelling on the word “restoration”. What pieces of cinema speak “restoration” to us? Is it movies about art? TV shoes about passion? Restoring relationships or faith in humanity? If you’ve listened for a while you know we’re not that high minded, but we appreciate you anyway.
