Not Not Drinking, just not drinking

Ryan Attard:

Great thoughts on social sobriety

Originally posted on rockstar dinosaur pirate princess:

We’re now in May, so it’s now been 16 (and a half) months since I gave up drinking for, er, three months. While the initial 12 months of Not Drinking were trickier, the last 4 (and a half) months of just not drinking hasn’t actually been difficult at all – there’s definitely a huge difference…

Episode 64: Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Welcome to what is possible the most unapologetic and unashamed show in the history of mankind. Today’s movie choice is Sabrina the Teenage Witch, the 1996 movie which served as a precursor to the popular tv show.

There are absolutely no apologies for this show. Apart from talking about one of my favourite tv shows ever, a show that aired during my childhood and inspired possibly my most…

Episode 63: Seventh Son

We finally watched it folks. I’ve been talking about this movie forever and finally I managed to tear myself away from my work long enough to enjoy a somewhat disappointing movie that was also entertaining.

Now, let me just put this out there – I like the Spook Series, and this movie does a very mediocre job of portraying the writing style and the “flavour” of the story.

The movie fluctuates…

Episode 62: Ron Burgundy

This week’s show is as weird as they come, and this coming from the guy who week after week keeps delivering his vocal ramblings in a timely fashion as if someone is paying him for it.

The topic for today’s show is Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, and this flick definitely takes a spot in my top 5 WTF movies I’ve ever watched. Naturally the tone of the show reflects the madness that Will…

Episode 61: Divergent + Insurgent

Today’s episode is a double whammy, people. A few episodes ago I played Ellie Goulding’s “Beating Heart” and talked briefly about the movie adaptation of Veronica Roth’s Divergent series.

I like these movies, I really do.

I haven’t read the books, honestly, because I tend to stay away from dystopian stories, especially when there’s a heavy romance element. And just to prove how Bourgeois I can…

Episode 60: Iron Monkey

It happened, people. It finally happened. Today we finally talk about Kung Fu movies. Today we delve into that ancient niche of movies with a shitload of Wire-Fu, people jumping around, yelling subtitled inconsistencies and painfully archetypical characters that will make even the hardest of stoics break into a giggle.

But Iron Monkey, in my well-versed opinion, has the one thing that redeemed…

Episode 59: Spooks

Hello boys and girls, and welcome to another episode of the Lurking Voice podcast. I am still recovering from my maladies but that is no excuse not to put aside a few minutes for some ranting and book discussion.

Today’s topics vary hard and wide. We start the show on a political/moral note, with an article about the Boy Scouts and their homophobia. Now, this is not a political podcast, but as…

Consent: Not actually that complicated

Ryan Attard:

One of the best articles I’ve read in a long, long time

A short one today as my life is currently very complicated and conspiring against my preference to spend all of my days working out what to blog. But do you know what isn’t complicated?

Consent.

It’s been much discussed recently; what with college campuses bringing in…

Episode 58: News, Pot and Japanese Cats

We jump the shark this week, boys and girls. Turns out that when I have no topic to discuss and nothing to say, I have A LOT more.

There is no script this week and no plan. I slept a total of 12 hours since Monday because the former people I had work on Evil Plan Inc., screwed me over and I was stuck cleaning up their mess. I haven’t had time to watch a movie or finish a book or anything – and I…

Episode 57: TMNT 2014

Welcome to another Lurking Voice podcast and this one is the mother of all rabbit holes.

Let’s start with what the podcast was supposed to be about: TMNT 2014, the movie.

To be honest, I kinda liked it. Yeah some lines were terrible, and there were instances where it felt like Michael Bay was molesting us with a rusty pipe, but all in all, it was good mindless fun – which is what any Michael Bay…
