HERCULES ON THE RADIO!!
Learn Perhaps What Ain’t It Cool’s TV Critic Thought Of THE MASTER And ABC’s THE LAST RESORT And THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS PART 1!! Listen And Call In LIVE 10pm PT / 1am ET!!
Tonight I hope to discuss with the KERN Krew “The Master,” the latest from the writer-director behind “Hard Eight,” “Boogie Nights,” “Magnolia,” “Punch Drunk Love” and “There Will Be Blood.”
We may addtionally talk a bit about “The Last Resort,” ABC’s new nuclear submareine drama from Shawn Ryan, creator of “The Shield,” “Terriers” and “The Chicago Code.”
I've seen "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1," so that could come up.
Also? The weakest summer movie ticket sales in 20 years, the best zombie movies, comic book valuation, series finales, Halloween and movies that trigger anti-American violence.
“Ask Mr. KERN” continues to nest in its later timeslot.
The radio show airs its next five episodes on Saturdays 10:05 p.m. to Midnight Pacific Time.
No matter where you are you can listen to the show LIVE by hitting the “Listen Live” button at kernradio.com.
Best of all, you, constant reader, can join this very nerdy conversation.
The toll-free call-in line is:
1-800-640-5376
Call in drunk, as I always do, but watch your language. This is not a podcast. This monster goes out over the air on all 50,000 watts of Southern California’s KERN-AM.
Have something better to do tonight? Want to listen to older shows? Head over to the “Ask Mr. KERN” archives!

...since I have no producer. Sparky needed the night off and Mr. A is couching a football game. I'll be running the board, screening calls, and hosting with Mike and Stef. be prepared for a few... gaffes. :)

The holo-cover of the copy I bought was just one big spoiler for the film. A little weird, yes?

Dark Knight Returns was crap. Mutant Leader was a terrible antagonist, and I still find Batman allowing 13 yr old kids to fight along side him psychotic and creepy...

...that's why the character never works. Not even in the comics, where they've tried probably half-a-dozen Robins. Just the concept alone is ridiculous. Chris Nolan was wise enough to know this and both he and Bale kept their "No Robin" promise. I can only hope that whoever handles the Bat-franchise next is at least that smart. Adding the Robin character to a cinematic Batman is always a sure-fire failure Keep him in the comics where he belongs.

Time for a cigarette...

Then I'll be back. See you guys then.

Very exciting!

I love the Amazing Spider-man tote bag! The WB keychain! The 2012 button! The Weyland Corp. badge! The Fountain lapel pin! Mr.K.E.R.N.'s stapler! A lock of Stefani's hair "for cloning purposes in the future" - ....ok, tbh that was pretty creepy, man... The sockball from Herc with "ERIC KRIPKE CAN SUCK IT!" written on it! ... The Mahogany video! The Godfather video! The Paul Simon album! The bottle of scotch! And the written apology with pictures of your trip to Winnipeg! All that plus there were two stinkbugs in the the box as an added bonus!
-
Arguably the hottest chick ever on SNL.
-
Cecilia Strong's Puerto Rican girl got me pretty boned up last week.
-
I'm glad you liked the pin from The Fountain. I agree that it was the last movie I thought would ever have promotional swag like that!
-
Fell asleep watching SNL.
-
I'm a modest girl.
-
She is pretty hot on the show.
-
Your breath is deadly...
-
I'm also impressed with the Watchman prequel Minutemen.
-
Or does He?
-
Minutemen and Silk Spectre are the best of the bunch and both written by the amazing Darwyn Cooke. His Parker adaptations for IDW have been great over the last few years.
-
based on oil by upton sinclair
-
George Mason crashing the plane in the Mojave?
-
It sorrows me to say South Park offered FAR more insight into Scientology than did The Master.
-
I forgot about that one. To be fair, him flying the nuke into the quarry kinda downplayed the destruction that could've happened. The one that happened after the Curtis/Dr Bashir standoff was much more horrific, especially with its proximity to Bakersfield.
-
Crap!
-
I had no interest in see what happened next after the Charlie's Angels pilot.
-
THEY MUST BRING HER BACK!!!

THEY BLEW UP THE FUCKING TOWN!

-
Because it should have been a SEASON finale.
-

-
Thanks as always to everybody who listened, posted and/or called in questions about boobs.
-
as dark knight rises uses dkr as a template, do you know how stupid you sound? nolan didnt come up with one thing that is original in his entire trilogy do yourself a favor, go pickup tdkr and read it then make stupid comments so i can smack you down

AND I admitted I haven't read the comic, just seen the animated feature, AND I asked if the comic was better than the animation. Don't throw a hissy fit, Jesus Christ

And I'm no Rises apologist, it's by far the weakest of the trilogy. Though Hardy's Bane nearly makes up for it's flaws.

And complaining that Nolan's movies are not original, and using the comics as a template is MORONIC! It's an adaptation, it's supposed to use the comics as a template

Hope it was great. I'll catch it in the archive. Miss you all.
