As we have mentioned on our podcast, we recently had the pleasure of recording a Rifftrax for the movie TRON along with Jonathan Coulton. Well, the track is now available, and everyone should go and get it. RIGHT. NOW.
(”What is Rifftrax?” you ask? Well, it’s where some folks—us in this case, but usually “Mystery Science Theater 3000” alums Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett—record snarky comments about a movie as an alternate audio track, which you then sync up while watching the movie; and hilarity ensues)
The forty-firstnd episode of our podcast, Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average), is now online.
This week’s episode: personal improvement, regarding sitting up listening; breaking through our passive aggression; our Tron Rifftrax is released; we get serious regarding minion submissions; dunce caps; Storm’s wife is fabulous; and ruminations on childhood experiences (esp. TV and movies) that get sullied upon revisitation. (Is that even a word?) Also: be careful.
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION ALERT: Please share your own experiences with things that have disappointed you when you revisit them in adulthood; and let us know how people in your area bid each other farewell. Also, make sure, if/when you submit your minion photo, that you include a label of some sort declaring your minionhood.

Available in the original suave 70’s green-on-green, as well as a variety of other far-out color schemes. Visit our CafePress store to see all of the options (including thongs).
Shirt Origins (for those who haven’t listened to the podcast): When Storm’s older sister got braces, their parents got her a “Tin Gins are In” t-shirt to cushion the blow. Not wanting to leave young Storm empty-handed, they thoughtfully devised the garment you see here, as he had recently joined the ranks of the four-eyed. (To find out how it all worked out, you’ll just have to suck it up and listen to the podcast.)
We’re often asked “where do you get your ideas from?” Sometimes it’s inspired by a movie we saw, a conversation we had, or any number of other sources. The following song and video, however, can only be explained by “we have no idea.”
Yet here it is. We hope you enjoy “Here Come the Dinosaurs“, and if you can explain to the class what it means, feel free to share! Credits appear below the break.

We’re sorry it took us so long to make it back to the Great White North, mostly because of all the Awesome we’ve been missing out on:
- Great crowds. Not that we don’t love all our crowds equally (of course we do!), but it’s so nice to know that there’s a whole other nation stocked with twisted minds.
- POUTINE! Several heaping helpings were enjoyed at Smokes in Toronto. If someone asks if you’d like the double pork, you say YES. And if they ever open in our home towns, we will go ahead and make reservations at our local cardiac wards.
- Felted Paul and Storm. Not inherently or iconically Canadian per se, but produced there by fan/merchtrix Zoe. Epic detailing!
- Robot Pirate and Nun by Robot a Day. Felted Paul and Storm came nested inside of these ingenious little vinyl critters.
