Episode 104 - All Good Things

Staff — Mon, 28 May 2012 05:00:16 +0000

Que the music from the ending of the Incredible Hulk TV series. That's right folks, this is the final episode of Group Therapy... or is it? After 2 years of doing shows, we are going into hiatus. When will we return? Will we return at all? Who shot J.R.? How will Batman & Robin escape this time? All of those answers (well some of them) and more on this week's show.

Episode 103 - You're F'n Batman

Staff — Mon, 07 May 2012 05:00:00 +0000

On episode 101, we deconstructed some of our favorite cartoons and discussed how modern cartoons, well, suck. This week, we right the wrongs of our childhood and talk about how we could fix the old cartoons and improve the cartoons of today. We also discuss our picks for the Summer Movie Game, Optimusgene's love for The Avengers and Jay has a new job... he's Batman!

Episode 102 - Take That Passy

Staff — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 05:00:31 +0000

The 2012 Summer Movie Game is up and running. It's time to submit your ballot and enter (last day May 3rd!) What, you need help making your list? We're here for you. The guys discuss all of the big movies coming out and whether or not you should put them on your top 10, put them down as a dark horse or Blah!, forget them all together. Need even more help? Diego and Alex stop by and give their opinions as well.

Episode 101 - Knowing Is Half the Battle

Staff — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 05:00:33 +0000

Yo Joe! By the power of Grayskull! Transform and roll out! Face it, cartoons kick ass, or at least they used to. But for every awesomeexperience they brought us on Saturday morning and after school there was at least one weird cartoon that just never made sense. And what about cartoons today? Ae they better or worst then the classics we grew up with? Put on a pair of footie pajamas and grab your bowl of sugary cereal!

Episode 100 - Aussies are Convicts

Staff — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 05:00:51 +0000

It's our 100th episode and we look back over the past 2 years at some of our favorite things. We love zombies and fast food, hate hackers and Sony and had a blast going to events like Diggnation, Comicon and Geekfest. Not to mention the games we've played, the new devices we've welcomed and of course the new crew members. Oh yeah and Jay tells us why Australia is a poor man's Britain.

2 Year Anniversary

Staff — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 05:00:39 +0000

It's our sophomore effort and hopefully better than our first. We are one week shy of two years and thought we should look back at the previous year. So once again we have compiled two, 1 minute segments from the past 50 episodes. Make sure to check the show notes to find out which clip is from which episode. And make sure to join us for episode 100! Here's to 100 more (or until we find something better to do with our time).

Episode 99 - The Best Toy Ever

Staff — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 05:00:20 +0000

Heads up gang, there are some big changes coming to show. First and foremost, we are moving to a bi-weekly format for the foreseeable future. We’re also cutting down the show length to an hour so we can record and edit easier; not to mention make it easier to listen to! Optimusgene will explain everything during the show. We also discuss the Steam Box, Topher Grace’s version of a Star Wars prequel movie and the best toys ever (or at least our favorites).

Episode 98 - I Hate the Alamo

Staff — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 06:00:51 +0000

Some big news about the show! First, Optimusgene & MiAmoreNYC had their babies; Nick and Alex! And second, because everyone is so busy right now the show is going to move to a bi-weekly format until things settle down a little bit. So enjoy this extra long episode, as it will have to last you for two weeks instead of one. This week we discuss piracy and movie ticket sales, the PS Vita and the future of handheld gaming, the people who vote in the Academy Awards and a ton of funny stories dealing with travel. We remember the Alamo all too well.

Episode 97 - Lies! Camera! Action!

Staff — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:00:31 +0000

There is no question we here at OneManAsylum.com love movies! In fact we love movies so much some of us have even made them! Along with Cy's indie movie Dawn of Twilight, Optimusgene made several home movies with his childhood friends. Find out why it takes more than just a camera and a microphone to make a movie; it takes dedication, time effort and a whole lot of misdirection. Plus Whitney Houston died and broke the Internet!

Episode 96 - Marijuaner Parhaps?

Staff — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:00:32 +0000

Another day, another dollar. And depending on where you have worked, that dollar was a lot harder to come by! This week the guys discuss ACTA, Redbox telling Warner Bros. how things are going to be and our worst jobs. Bad bosses, crappy working conditions and a ton of bad truck drivers. Oh and a special announcement from the Warrior!

Episode 95 - O.G. (Original Gamers)

Staff — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:00:19 +0000

We're back! After taking a week off we're back in full force with news about the defeat of SOPA, George Lucas' retirement and rumors about the future of video game consoles. We also put flash back to the good old days when video games were 8 bit (and we were happy to have it) and talk about some of our favorite gaming memories. So grab some Pop Rocks and blow the dust off that cartridge; it's game time!

Episode 94 - 2012 Better Not Suck

Staff — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 06:00:34 +0000

Yeah, the video seems to be fixed! Boo, the audio had an issue (but was salvaged). Looks like 2012 isn't going to be that much different than 2011. Xbox Live is getting hacked (sort of), Warner Bros. is fighting with Netflix and Sony may not make a PS4. On the upside we discuss our most anticipated movies and games of 2012. The Hobbit, The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers... 2012 looks like it's going to rock! (Hopefully)

Episode 93 - Cy Book Suks

Staff — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 06:00:33 +0000

What's the best way to start the new year? Obviously not by looking back at the past one. The entire panel gets together to share the five best things that happened to them in 2011. But in true OMA fashion, that is harder than it seems. Between technical difficulties and lack of preparedness, the show didn't go off without a hitch; 10 or 12 of them to be honest. But we still manage to have fun and laugh.

Due to technical difficulties, there is no video version of the show this week.

Episode 92 - And One Time at Bandcamp...

Staff — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 06:00:23 +0000

Happy New Year! While the media makers may still be on holiday, we soldier on into the next year. This week we discuss Anonymous going after Sony (again), Ocean Marketing pisses off the Internet, Red Letter Media does another unoriginal review and we share our most embarrassing moments. WARNING: this episode contains descriptions of public nudity, drunken behavior, speeches gone horribly wrong and urinating one's pants. And that's not even the half of it!

Episode 91 - A Boujee Christmas

Staff — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 06:00:35 +0000

It's Christmas time at OneManAsylum. Time for lights on the tree. Time for egg nog in our mugs. And time to share a little of ourselves with you. So in addition to discussing awesome movie trailers, lack-luster sales of the PS Vita and the departure of Amy & Rory from Doctor Who, we also share some of our favorite, secret pleasures. So of course that means the guys made fun of each other and will use this as ammo for years to come. Happy Holidays!

Episode 90 - Build-A-Nega Cyrus

Staff — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 06:00:25 +0000

Unfortunately Cy wasn't able to make this week's show. But fortunately for us he sent his cyber alter-ego, Nega Cy, in his place. But something is different about him. He didn't like the awesome action movie trailers (MIB 3, G.I.Joe: Retaliation & The Expendables 2), he was really quiet about SOPA and the no-texting bill conversation and he seemed really interested in the Golden Globe nominations; particularly about the movie with the male nudity. Jay Red & Optimusgene hold down the fort and try to figure out what went wrong (or right) with their friend.

Episode 89 - Helicopter

Staff — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 06:00:53 +0000

MAYDAY, MAYDAY! We're going down! The show didn't completely crash and burn but it wasn't pretty either. Technical difficulties forced Duckie to eject early and the guys just couldn't keep the momentum up. Still we share our thoughts on the new Xbox dashboard, the Three Stooges trailer and a few things we are currently into (even though it was like pulling teeth to get anything out of Cy & Jay).

Episode 88 - Tossing Rocks at Cars

Staff — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 06:00:43 +0000

Sometimes you need to vent. Sometimes you need to rant. And sometimes you just need to bitch. We did all three on the show! Sure we talked about Carrier IQ, Facebook getting smacked by the FTC and GamePro shutting down but we also covered our pet peeves. You know, like idiots on the road. And in the stores. And pretty much everywhere. Grab something to drink (perhaps alcoholic) and get ready to let the hatred flow.

Episode 87 - Hatesgiving

Staff — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 06:00:15 +0000

Thanksgiving is usually a time when we gather together with our friends and loved ones to share traditions, delicious meals and give thanks for everything we have. But when you're surrounded by jerks like these the best you can hope for is coming out at the end of your show with a little bit of your pride intact and not cursing like a sailor. The guys discuss movies, TV, Thanksgiving and the stupidity that is Black Friday. Sorry we didn't save you any Hatesgiving turkey; we were too busy dishing it out on each other.

Episode 86 - Taste the Emotional Rainbow

Staff — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 06:01:00 +0000

Before every episode, we chat for 30 to 45 minutes just to catch up on the previous week and get loose for the show. This week was a little different. Right before we started the show we started talking about fast food and ended up discussing it for over an hour. Then out of nowhere Optimusgene hit the gas and the guys ran through the show in record time. So make sure to listen to the audio version after the credits for the entire conversation on the foods we love, the foods we hate and the foods we love to hate.

Episode 85 - He Pulled a Sandusky

Staff — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 06:00:38 +0000

Wow, we didn't get off track, we never even started on the road in the first place! We discuss animated movies, hunting deer, a Where's Waldo movie, Sandusky, Murphy quitting the Oscars, MW3, Steam, hacking and Ricky Perry. Yep, it's one of those shows.

Episode 84 - Loyalty = Free Sandwich

Staff — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 06:00:17 +0000

Leave it to the guys to take a perfectly innocent podcast about movies, TV video games and the web and make it deep and dark. It's a surprise Duckie still shows up! This week the crew starts out talking about the Carmen Sandiego movie, Fox bringing back In Living Color and Gearbox honoring a fan but end up discussing corporate politics with concerns to religious portrayal and the effects of TV of children. At least Cy has figured out how to keep Optimusgene's loyalty... sort of.

Episode 83 - The Worst Sound Ever

Staff — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 05:00:37 +0000

It's our Halloween episode... technically. So Optimusgene is the only one who dressed up and there wasn't a spooky theme to the show, so what? We still have plenty of horrifying tales to get you in the mood. Netflix is bleeding customers, thePS Vita is going to suck your wallet dry, Nintendo lost almost $1 billion and what is the worst sound ever? Click and listen... if you dare.

Episode 82 - Honey Cyrus

Staff — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 05:00:45 +0000

What do you get when you take a guy who is tired and hungry (Optimusgene), a guy who is hurting and on pain meds from surgery (Jay Red), two guys not happy with the Rangers game (Cy & Techxmex) and have them do a live show? A semi-entertaining podcast full of snide remarks and back-handed comments. Plus a lot of fun! This week the guys rip into each other as well as Michael Bay not doing Transformers 4 & 5, Zombieland 2 on the small screen, The Walking Dead, Two & a Half Men, the PS Vita and tech in the future. Hold on to your butts because Honey Cyrus don't give a f*ck!

Episode 81 - Siri-ously

Staff — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:00:57 +0000

Optimusgene got the new iPhone 4S but Siri didn't want to act right and Jay Red's meds after his surgery were making him nauseous and he had to "cut out" early. So Optimusgene & Cy had to forge ahead through the death & destruction that was the Internet this week. Netflix killed Qwikster, Universal killed Tower Heist VOD, Seth MacFarlane wants to kill Family Guy and George Lucas kills our childhood a little bit more. Grab a shotgun and a shovel, it's time to put this show down.

Episode 80 - Field Dressing a Hobo

Staff — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:27:00 +0000

You know how things can be going so well then suddenly veer off course, off the side of a mountain and burst into flames? We now have a name for that; it's called the "Jay" factor. Watch as we go from having a perfectly decent discussion about how Steve Jobs changed the world, the end of Diggnation and the Simpsons and Disney bringing classic animated movies back in 3D to literally field dressing a hobo. It's a hell of ride!

Episode 79 - The Cheesecake Factory

Staff — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 19:17:48 +0000

The guys take a bizarre journey into the world of cheese, cheesecake, meat and Matthew McConaughey? Just go with it. They also manage to discuss Netflix splitting apart, Sony charging for 3D glasses, scary movies and Mountain Dew giving you Double XP. It's one of "those" shows.

Episode 78 - Two to Lou

Staff — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 05:01:02 +0000

Phase 1 of the Fall / Winter Movie Draft is complete. The point values have been set, now all you have to do is pick your team and get in the game! Will you go for fewer movies but higher returns or pick up as many smaller movies as you can? Find out what the guys did.

Episode 77 - An Awesome Train Wreck

Staff — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 05:00:08 +0000

Yeah, the video didn't screw up on us! Yeah, the audio sounded good! Yeah, Optimusgene & MiAmoreNYC are having twins! Yeah for everyone! Well almost everyone; PSN is taking away your rights, Bucky Larson could be one of the worst movies ever, the Wii U may be having development issues and Hollywood keeps giving Tyler Perry more money. Boo to them but yeah to everything else!

Episode 76 - I Didn't Put Much Thought Into It

Staff — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 05:00:10 +0000

Oh live Internet streaming, why do you hate us so? Once again, for no reason, the video has failed us. But we manage to put together a show regardless. No news this week; we're looking back at the best, the worst and everything in between from this past summer movie season. Maybe Optimusgene will be able to use his own research and win next time around.

Episode 75 - Video Sucks

Staff — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 05:00:46 +0000

The video has failed Optimusgene for the last time. Well, probably not. In any case we still have a show for you. We catch up with what little happened over the past two weeks as Cy, Jay and Duckie discuss Steve Jobs retiring from Apple, George Lucas changing Star Wars (again) and GameStop has a pissing contest with Square Enix. In the end, we all lose.

Episode 74 - LIVE from Geekfest

Staff — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 05:00:13 +0000

Geekfest was this past Friday and Saturday at Central Texas College in Killeen, TX and we were there. Not only did we spread the podcasting gospel to the masses, we also recorded a live show from the event. For the first time ever Optimusgene and Cyrus were in the same room at the same time for a show and it was awesome. Completely the trifecta of epicness, Jay Red joins the guys as they discuss werewolves in the Lone Ranger movie, Paramount destroying World War Z and the likelyhood the PS Vita will be a car wreck. Thanks to MiAmoreNYC, Library Voodoo, the Warrior and everyone from Geekfest who came out and watched the show.

Episode 73 - I Didn't Post That Story

Staff — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 05:00:46 +0000

So after last week when Optimusgene told the other guys to do the show notes so they did, and this is what we got. Techxmex posted something about an 18 year old movie that sucked and about Gamefly streaming games... then didn't show up. Jay Red posted about the 3rd Riddick movie, the 5th Resident Evil movie, World War Z, Frankenstein TV and Frank Darabont getting fired... then didn't read all the stories. And Cy posted about they only thing he knew about... himself.

Episode 72 - Seth MacFarlane Broke My Megatron

Staff — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 05:00:19 +0000

Well they did it. It took 72 episodes but they finally broke Optimusgene. Cy, Jay Red and Techxmex completely derail the show and all Duckie can do is watch the flames. Make no mistake, even though we still talked about the new Spider-Man, Seth MarFarlane redoing Cosmos & the possible Clue movie, things went up in flames. That's why next week, the rest of the guys will do the show prep. May God have mercy on our souls.

Episode 71 - Dog Days of Summer

Staff — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 16:10:54 +0000

No video show this week. Instead the guys hit up Skype and discuss trailers, Wal-Mart steps up their streaming service, Fox is taking it out on Hulu viewers Nintendo is dropping the price on the 3DS.

Episode 70 - Back to Basics

Staff — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 05:00:41 +0000

After last weeks shenanigans and full house on the panel we're getting back to our roots; talking about stories with no one listening :) This week we discus Robert Rodriguez has a full plate, The Amazing Spider-Man and Walking Dead Season 2 trailers and Borders going under.

Episode 69 - The Junior High Episode

Staff — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 05:00:31 +0000

We couldn't help ourselves! It's episode 69 and we had a hard time keeping our minds out of the gutter. When we were not making juvenile sex jokes we tried to discuss Netflix raising their rates, the Emmy nominations and playing Xbox 360 games on Windows 8. OK, we actually did very little of that. Not our most professional episode, but maybe one of our funniest.

Episode 68 - Pissed Off

Staff — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 05:00:03 +0000

Between Optimusgene's computer screwing up the video feed, people of Facebook not using their brains and Sony continuously screwing people, the guys are pretty pissed off. But even the bubbling rage can't keep them from laughing and having a good time. Hopefully the video will return next week.

Episode 67 - FIGHT!

Staff — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 05:00:29 +0000

Wow, everyone gets a little feisty and starts picking each other apart. But it's all in good fun, kind of. This week Cyrus has a few too many and rips on Shia LaBeouf being an idiot, free online games and MySpace being sold for $35 million. Put your dukes up and prepare to laugh your ass off.

Episode 66 - Muppets to Muscle Cars

Staff — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 05:00:52 +0000

With Optimusgene visiting Techxmex and Cy going into work, we went old-school this week and had to skip the live broadcast. But we still managed to Skype in and discuss movie remakes, reboots, sequels and Muppets.

Episode 65 - I'm Not Angrily

Staff — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 05:00:04 +0000

Critics and the Internet suck! Everyone has an opinion but there are those who claim to be the end-all, be-all decision makers on the worth of a movie. This week the group lets the hatred flow as they discuss critical opinions, sequels and reboots and future of comic book movies.

Episode 64 - Mr. Positive

Staff — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 05:00:44 +0000

It's a super-sized episode this week as we delve into all of the announcements from E3. Microsoft is bringing Kinect functionality to "serious" games, Sony officially introduces it's new hand-held the PS Vita and Nintendo shows off the next evolution of consoling gaming, the Wii U. We also manage to cram in the Summer Movie Game update, new releases and a little Apple news to boot. WARNING: Doctors recommend not taking the entire episode at once; break into smaller pieces for easier digestion.

Episode 63 - Bromance

Staff — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 17:12:01 +0000

Optimusgene is back in the driver's seat but he still can't keep the show from going off the tracks. And the wheels coming off. And the whole thing running off a cliff. Oh well, it was a hell of a ride! The guys manage to talk about games, movies and Windows 8 in between talking about beer, sex & Dan's dreamy voice.

Special Guest @danvoyles of BigKevsView.

NOTE: We had a technical issue and the end of the video was cut off. To get the rest of the show please listen to the audio version.

Episode 62 - I'm Running This Bitch

Staff — Mon, 30 May 2011 05:00:48 +0000

The inmates are running the asylum this week as Optimusgene is on the road (and on the phone) with MiAmoreNYC. So Cyrus takes over hosting duties. So this week we have music, we have sports and some other stuff on the show notes no one cares about. Have mercy on our souls.

Episode 61 - The End of the World As We Know It

Staff — Mon, 23 May 2011 05:00:21 +0000

...And we feel fine. If you are watching / listening to this weeks episode then either A. the rapture didn't happen or B. you got left behind. In either case have a laugh as we discuss other world ending events like the Sony continuing to shake people's faith, Michael Bay calls down the thunder on the non-believers in Transformers 3 and Fox sacrifices the Flintstones on the alter before Seth MacFarlane.

Episode 60 - Closed-minded, Sexist Douchebags

Staff — Mon, 16 May 2011 05:01:00 +0000

Wow, we haven't had a show with this many hosts in forever. Or as many vile words! They guys rip apart stories (and each other) about everything from PSN still down to what shows they would like to see resurrected by Netflix to what the best video game controller is of all time. Aside from a slight audio issue, it's a giant show, and it's waiting in the school yard to kick your ass and take your lunch money.

Episode 59 - Optimusjoint

Staff — Mon, 09 May 2011 05:00:28 +0000

Yo, yo, yo homeboys. Optimusjoint here has the hook up. Check it; Sony keeps getting hit by this hacker thing, the networks are trying to pimp some bogus new shows with fairytales and the like and we gets to discuss the Summer Movie Game with a Canadian. Yeah boy!

Episode 58 - The Curious Case of Optimusgene

Staff — Mon, 02 May 2011 23:35:13 +0000

The Summer Movie Game is almost at hand so the guys decide to do a little recruiting by texting and calling people live during the show. In between voice mails, they also talk about the Playstation Network hacking issue, the fact Nintendo has confirmed a new console in 2012 and Optimusgene completely de-evolves during the show. Words are hard.

Episode 57 - Initiate Passionate Voice

Staff — Mon, 02 May 2011 23:32:10 +0000

What do you get when you take 20 stories about movies, games, TV & the Web, add four goofy bastards, an awesome chat room and let them talk for 2 hours? The epic episode number 57 of course. The guys go a little long as they discuss all the news from the past two week but have a great time in the process.

Episode 56 - Blah!

Staff — Mon, 02 May 2011 23:28:28 +0000

The 2011 Summer Movie Game is officially underway and we have all of the info you need to make sure to kick some ass (or at least beat The Warrior). The guys break down every movie and give you the inside track on which movies should make your top 10 list.
