AWoC: Episode 25! - So you say you don't like... Westerns

Saddle up, Atomic Buckaroos, we're back with another of our patented "So you don't think you like..." episodes, where we dive into a genre that might not be your cup of rotgut and tell you why you should give it another go. It's been a long, dusty trail for the American western, but it's not all saddle spurs and gunshot wounds. There is some real heart in them thar hills and the AWOC will talk about older gems, westerns that have aged like fine wine, great modern fare and maybe a few westerns that aren't really...or are. Don't worry, we sort it out. And Chad wants to apologize profusely for forgetting The Valley of Gwangi. The poster is on the wall of his house, for God's sake.

AWoC: Episode 24 - Unpopular Opinions: For Those that Whiffed

Ladies and gentleman, please gird your loins for the first ever BAD OPINION THUNDERDOME! Each of our hosts present not one but two TERRIBLE opinions and then try to defend them against an onslaught of reason and popular opinion. Will they make it out with their reputations intact? Most likely not, but it’s fun to listen to.

AWoC: Episode 23 - Because Renny Harlin

Happy Birthday to us! We've been doing this podcast for a year and in this extra super special episode we reveal the secret origins behind why we call our podcast The Atomic Weight of Cheese . It has to do, strangely enough, with the 2004 Renny Harlin slasher flick, "Mindhunters" (one word), being punchy on a road trip and making fun of something using a terrible German accent. I'd like to tell you it will all make sense but after a year, you know what's coming at you. Sincerely, we want to thank you for going on this journey with us. It's been challenging, but a blast from top to bottom and we hope you'll hang out with us as we enter year 2!

AWoC: Episode 22 - Was that pudding???

On this episode of the Atomic Weight of Cheese we put the "random asides and long winded explanations" into "Rapid Fire" as we tackle the October No Horror Challenge . For each day in October we are asked a (mostly cult) film-related question and it turned out surprisingly well and diverse. Mike only mentioned "Starship Troopers" once! Mike and Chad also review the latest remake of Halloween and Mike should be beaten for his take on the theme music. We'd love to hear your takes on any and all of these topics, and there are plenty to choose from!

AWoC: Episode 21 - It's up to you, New York

How do you like your New York? Dark and grimy with terrible things happening down every alley? Bright and sunny, where love can blossom and everyone's your friend?

AWoC: Episode 20 - Alternative Reality Power Hour

What if JFK had survived Oswald’s bullet? What if Hitler had gotten accepted to art school? What if Tom Selleck had played Indiana Jones? It’s that last question that most interests us here at the Atomic Weight of Cheese and it’s a great jumping off point for some cult cinema alternative realities. We come up with those casting choices that would have strangled a franchise, those moments that would have changed careers and, of course, how Jackie Chan and Elvis could have ended up performing a duet on the set of Cannonball Run.
