Three grown-ass men examining the spirit of the times they grew up in— the Hyper '90s. A show about films, cartoons, C-Span, and destroying your childhood. It's not just about the '90s; it's about the aftermath, and the '80s that laid the groundwork.

20/15

The immovable force meets the store-bought object, as Jim Sterling and Digital Homicide face off. The studio, having finally had enough of my antics, demanded an interview and yelled at me about my cowardice. My audience demanded I rise to the occasion, and rise I did. 

Listen as Digital Homicide talks over me, attempts to use mad scientist tropes to prove I'm a bad person, tries to invent a conspiracy theory about me, and claims there's no difference between The Jimquisition and The Slaughtering Grounds.

Well... it's something to listen to, I suppose.

everybody seen that ice shine all over your body
draggin’ yo tail along
people be gettin’ excited whenever you show them
keep ‘em up all night long a-long

all night long, draggin’ along
everybody loves when they see you above
but don’t go thinkin’ you’re home, you don’t belong
everybody runs when you comin’ too close

everybody loves that ice shine all over your body
sparklin’ tail a-grown
but baby don’t be comin’ too close, you might hurt somebody
when you bringin’ on your new dawn

all night long, draggin’ along
everybody loves when they see you above
your new dawn, bring it along
but everybody runs when you comin’ too close, and now your tail is gone

but don’t you take it bad, we love you know
everybody smiles when they see you along
it’s just your new dawn, keep it for your own
ain’t nobody happy seein’ your tail gone

we gon’ love you, as long as you stay out my atmosphere
we gon’ love you, as long as you stay up there, nice and clear
no one above you, just love to admire you from afar
we gon’ love you, so baby won’t you stay right where you are

you be cool as ice up there
but if you get too close there’s fire everywhere
so stay cool, and just let us love you

You Keep Me Hanging On

In the very firstest beta episode of Hyper 90's Zeitgeist Breakdown, our heroes explain what they name, what they sign, who they be with, and what they interests are. Then they descend into discussion about the horrors of the world that plague humanity, as filtered through the lens of Fox's seminal '90s cartoon show. But most importantly, they ponder the greatest question of all: "Does a mall babe eat chili fries?"

Hyper 90's Zeitgeist Breakdown Episode 00: X-men

Welcome to the very first episode of Hyper '90s Zeitgeist Breakdown, with your three fabulous Kombatants: Mortal Michael Pangelina, Lusty Lionel "Jumper Cables" Myles III, and Jumpin' Joseph Burchett!

In this episode, we dive deep into the mystery and mythology of Paul W.S. Anderson's fantastic 1995 film Mortal Kombat, based on the hit video game series from Midway. We end the show with a short discussion about the transformation of the modern day action hero. Be sure to stick around after the credits for a surprise debunking of an ancient schoolyard rumor!

Hyper '90s Zeitgeist Breakdown Episode 01: Mortal Kombat

This month on Hyper '90s Zeitgeist Breakdown...

Mike tries to set up cultural context for the film by talking about the history of the internet, but just ends up babbling through some (actually quite profound) articles by Denise Caruso. Then we move on to this month's topic: Ian Softley's tremendous cyber-punk film Hackers, from 1995! Social engineering, '90s AOL chat names, the genius of Matthew Lillard, and flare gun cop attacks abound!

Hyper '90s Zeitgeist Breakdown Episode 02: Hackers

This month’s episode of Hyper ‘90s Zeitgeist Breakdown  ended up becoming a loving tribute to Timothy Dalton, Isabella Scorupco, and Dame Judi Dench. We hope you enjoy!

This isn’t just study of Goldeneye— but of Bond’s actual place in the modern era. We start the show with a brief examination of Timothy Dalton’s (for the most part) very chivalrous Bond in 1987’s The Living Daylights, before moving on to our main topic: Martin Cambpell’s wonderfully subversive Goldeneye, from 1995. We spend the last half of the show discussing what 2012’s Skyfall owes back to Goldeneye, and it’s conclusion to Bond’s complex, 17-year-long relationship with Judi Dench’s M.

Hyper '90s Zeitgeist Breakdown Episode 03: Goldeneye

This month is a very special episode of Hyper '90s Zeitgeist Breakdown!

Joe blew up our first recording... so Mike's mom, Rachele, stepped up to the plate to help us cover some of the awful news stories of the '90s! She also sheds some light on 5-year old Mike's attempted arson, and provides first-hand insights into the little-known '90s epidemic of Mexicans falling off of rooftops and ladders!

And be sure to stick around after the show's closing to hear her thoughts on Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and MIke's lifelong obsession with Batman in general!

Hyper '90s Zeitgeist Breakdown Episode 04: Bad News, With Mike's Mom!

This was probably a troll request, but I did it anyway.

I suppose we can call this an experiment in podcasting.   It was actually the final part of a class project.   Damn shame I missed the deadline cause I'm sure I'd have gotten a good grade on it.
