Friday Mar 11, 2022
Friday Mar 11, 2022
Matt Reeves' The Batman was positioned to return the character to the center of pop culture attention in a way that hasn't been seen since 1989. The marketing, merchandising, and general hype for this new film are at massive levels.
Did The Batman deliver? Do we need to buy all of the toys and watches and posters? Is Robert Pattinson the best of the Bats? Can we all keep our pants on while discussing Zoe Kravitz?
Join Dave, Head of Research Ryan Schweck, the Cadavers, and Arian Gulick as they discuss the blockbuster event of the year!

Needless Things Podcast 336: Continuity in Film Franchises
Friday Sep 25, 2020
Friday Sep 25, 2020
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has given us what we always wanted – a connected universe of characters with stakes and stories that extend beyond individual movies. A series with a singular guiding vision that we can invest in and trust.
But surely other film series – or franchises as they’re now known – have had some dedication to continuity?
On this episode of the Needless Things Podcast Dave discusses consistency within film franchises with the award-winning Bobby Nash and the EDO Network’s Mike Gordon!

Needless Things Podcast 314 – Billy Madison Needless Commentary
Friday Apr 24, 2020
Friday Apr 24, 2020
Part of an ongoing series – the Needless Things Irregulars gather in the Phantom Zone to provide their own unique commentary on classic genre films!
In their efforts to bring you fresh, new episodes every single Friday the Needless Commentary Team utilized unfamiliar and potentially unstable technology in order to produce an all-new Needless Commentary!
Billy Madison is one of the best-known, most often quoted comedy films of all time. It’s ridiculous and absurd and like no life anyone has ever lived. As such it seemed like the perfect escape from the current state of the world.
Listen in as Dave, Arian, and the Cadavers finally settle the debate between shampoo and conditioner on the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!

Needless Things Podcast 312 – James Bond with Mike Gordon
Friday Apr 10, 2020
Friday Apr 10, 2020
Mike Gordon returns to the Needless Things Podcast to discuss the world’s most famous secret agent! Which seems… counterproductive.
This conversation hits on various facets of the superspy franchise – the movies, the toys, the books, and more. Bond has spawned a multitude of different merchandising pursuits, but perhaps not as many as you'd expect!
Listen is as Mike and Dave determine which Bond movie title is the greatest:
The Man with the Gordon Gun
Tomorrow Never Gordons
The Gordon Who Loved Me
GordonEye
A View to A Gordon
Gordonfinger
Gordons Are Forever
Gordon of Solace
Gordonpussy
Or even the renegade production
Never Say Gordon Again!
