Podcast Episode #20: The Genesis of Awesome

To celebrate the 20th episode of Doomed to be awesome, we decided to break format and spend a little time talking about the genesis and back-story of the four of us and how D2BA got started.  In an effort to give a little insight into our worlds, we've come up w/ a few questions to ask each other throughout as well as taking some fan questions from Facebook and twitter.  So if you'd like to know what episode waffle monkey was coined, whether Matt has ever lost his s**t, what Gary's first job was, Obi's favorite song, Dom's best on-set moment and many more...than this episode is for you.  All that plus Obi responds to the news about a possible POINT BREAK remake with a super-duper explosive rant! 

Hosted by Dom Fera, Brendan O'Brien, Matt Casale and Gary Irwin.

Podcast Episode #19: Super Heroes & Super Powers

Inspired by the Illustrious Omnibus of Super Powers, we return to a topic that was the subject matter of an early episode of D2BA that will never air because it was 5hrs long (when we were still trying to figure out the format of the show.) We discuss our favorite super hero movies, TV shows and super powers. And we ask one another what super powers we would want to have if we were super heroes?

Hosted by Gary E. Irwin, Matt Casale, Brendon O'Brien & Dom Fera

Can you name them all? (without cheating!)

From Robert Ball who brought us “Fifty Baddies“ comes this sneak peek at his new series “Fifty Goodies”:

Ripley, Ripley, Ripley. Beautiful big jawed scourge of the alien horde. Triumphantly challenging big screen sexism by taking on the alien beastie single handedly, then undoing all that good work in the last five minutes by stripping off to your tiny pair of pants and going back to save the cat.

Halfway there… 25 to go…

We're all glad Matt didn't go this route for his Hellraiser costume.
