What's New? A Podcast of: A Contest, iPhone Talk, and Hints for Beggars.

The Dude on the Right ended up flying solo for this podcast, but even if The WGN isn't there to help him through a Thursday, The Dude just looks to set up a contest about farts, wishes America had more talents about whistling, and thinks he can sing S.O.S. better than Pierce Brosnan. The Dude, sadly, is more fixated on people begging for money.

What's New? Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Baseball, A Carnival, and Dogs.

This might just be a first, but for their "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast neither The Dude on the Right nor Stu Gotz saw a movie, and as such, can't give you a movie review of anything (although both of them will probably see "Swing Vote" next weekend).  They did, though, both see a Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cub's baseball game during the week, where The Dude's BFF wasn't mortified at meeting any of The Dude's friends (even at the Cub's game where some of them were slightly over-served), and Stu has found out that one of his sons might be a future roller coaster enthusiast.  The boys also talk about dogs and fish, and as Stu gives his scientific theory on boobies, well, he might as well apply for a grant for further study because if someone can get a grant to study the correlation between pedestrian accidents while texting, why not give one to study the correlation of growth hormones and boobies?

What's New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Nakedness, Lottery, Movies, and a Noid.

The Dude on the Right couldn't believe that he actually got naked on a Saturday, well, sort of, and for this episode of Stu & The Dude's "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast, he explains his nakedness.  Both The Dude and Stu Gotz do their normal weekend wrap-up about the movies they have seen, including "Mamma Mia!," "The Dark Knight," and "Space Chimps," The Dude tells Stu about what he and his BFF have been up to, and The Dude also tries to influence the attitude of Stu as to why he still has a figurine of "The Noid."

Netlix rentals are topics of discussions, as is Stu getting a Mac, as is winning the lottery, and as is, well, a wedding.

Sometimes the days of Stu and The Dude are very complicated.

What's New? A Movie Review of "Mamma Mia!"

Writer’s block, a brain cramp, or maybe it’s just that the sweet words of greatness just don’t want to flow from The Dude on the Right’s brain to his fingertips to relate how, in a different way from his love of "Iron Man," "The Dark Knight" will be only the second movie, so far, of 2008, that he will give a 5 star rating. But, somehow, and maybe it is the music of ABBA stuck in his head, well, The Dude finds a way to say that he didn’t like the movie version of "Mamma Mia!" during his review and wondered why Pierce Brosnan was cast, even if it did make him laugh.

The thing is, do you really care what The Dude on the Right thought about the Batman flick, "The Dark Knight?" From the box office numbers it looks like most of you already have seen it. Now you will know if you should go and see "Mamma Mia!"

What's New? A Podcast of: Technology Sucks, No WGN, iPhone Schematic Requests, and a Cowbell.

The Dude on the Right has internet issues so he told The WGN to be patient and wait until next week to do a podcast.  But internet issues won't keep a good Dude down, so he recorded a quick podcast about "Batman: The Dark Knight," with Heath Ledger, his need for some iPhone schematics, and how having a cowbell on his iPhone just makes him smile.  Do you have a "cowbell" on your cell phone?  Good luck with that!

What's New? Movie Previews Galore, or at Least a Few.

By: The Dude on the Right
So as I'm looking to get back into the swing of posting, and not feeling totally creative, I realized I had a batch of Movie Previews already written.  So, this evening, well, it was all about getting previews of movies like "Swing Vote," "Bangkok Dangerous," "Pineapple Express," "Henry Poole is Here," "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," "The House Bunny," and "My Best Friend's Girl," among others, up and integrated into the website for your perusal, or at least to help you to find their official sites.

Happy perusalling!

That's it for this one!  I'm The Dude on the Right!!  L8R!!!

What's New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! The BFF Meets the Family, Lots of TV Talk, and an iPhone Update.

The Dude on the Right took his BFF to visit some of his family in the old country, while Stu Gotz missed a Cubs' game, and those are just some of the topics they both cover in this podcast of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!"

Sure, they also talk about miniature golf, give a shout for The Dude's mom to "Get well soon," the uber-coolness of the iPhone update, and The Dude is psyched to see "The Dark Knight," but let's not forget Stu's love of "Burn Notice," SCUBA, and the younger Gotz's love of "Mr. Men."  Now if only The Dude would have talked about his and his BFF's lottery winnings, well, this podcast might be complete, but that might just have to wait for The Dude chatting with The WGN, and explaining to said The WGN why opening car doors for girls could be fixed by more-advanced, door-unlocker key fobs.

The Old Country With my BFF, Back to Normal Programming, Spock Philosophy, and an iPhone Update.

By: The Dude on the Right
As you may have noticed there haven’t been any new posting since nearly a week ago, and I have to admit that part of it was some laziness, part of it was being a busybody, and part of it was caused by a quick trip to the old country, where my BFF got to meet some of the members of my family. Yup, you can guess it, they all like her more than they like me! Oh well. I’ll talk more about that trip when I talk to Stu Gotz for our "Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast tomorrow, and hopefully I’ll have my nephew along for this Thursday’s podcast so I can explain to him why car doors do not need to be opened for dudettes anymore.

For some quick notes about the trip home, though, some of it was tad melancholy as my mom isn’t feeling too well, and I would have preferred my BFF’s first visit being under a different light, but on the other hand, mom’s meeting my BFF seemed to lift mom's spirits, especially when she could give my BFF her two word, blunt, synopsis, of the old country. The trip was also a great time for family members to pummel me about my lack of chivalrousness, when I was just trying to do some recon to assess the threat assessment of our group and make sure the coast was clear on the treacherous path from the safety of the craft store to the safety of the dude-mobile. I risk my life for the safety of the group, just like Spock philosophied in "The Wrath of Kahn," that "The needs of the many outweigh," responded by Kirk "The needs of the few," with Spock coming back, "Or the one.," and what happens, I get chastised for it! Some people are so ungrateful, but I’m sorry, I digress.

The trip home also had the tech nerd in me in total withdrawal because, while I was gone, Apple came out with their giant update for the iPhone, and although I’m waiting for a 3g version of the phone that will hold all of my music before I buy a new one (and from the news reports of the activation meltdowns that occurred last Friday I’m kinda glad for that), I kept looking at my iPhone, with its old, crappy, obsolete version of firmware, knowing it would be days before I could have a lightsaber duel with another iPhone user, be able to "scratch my records" like a DJ, or have a better way to organize my grocery store list. As I’m typing this blog, though, my iPhone is doing all of its updating, and hopefully, as opposed to those poor schlubs who had problems on Friday, maybe my utmost patience (it is a virtue, don’t ya know?) in not pulling out my laptop while I was at the old country, on Friday, to spend the time to upgrade it the minute I could and ignore my BFF, will pay off. See, who says chivalry is dead?

Well, my iPhone is almost done upgrading, it’s time to get back to work, so normal programming of Entertainment Ave! is ready to be back on track tomorrow, with a fantastic, phenomenal, enlightening, and exciting new podcast of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast. I hope.

That's it for this one!  I'm The Dude on the Right!!  L8R!!!

What's New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! "Hancock," Fireworks, Cars, Church, and More!

The Dude on the Right and Stu Gotz survived the 4th of July weekend with all of their appendages attached, but more surprising was the fact that The Dude didn't get struck down by lightning as he entered a church with his BFF, especially since The Dude, at times, wondered more about what the sensors were at the top of the ceiling and why parents let their kids wear street clothes to mass, as opposed to focusing on what was really a nice homily, about an "e-mail" from God. This podcast, though, of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!" isn't all about fire and brimstone, or at least fireworks and religion, the boys also talk about cars, "Hancock," "Nancy Drew," Pringles, and some upcoming nuptials. The Dude also sends "Get Well Soon" wishes to his Mom.

What's New? A Movie Review of: "Hancock."

As The Dude on the Right is a tad worried what Stu Gotz will say when he reveals something that happened over The Dude's 4th of July weekend during their next podcast, and The Dude is also a little more worried about some happenings in the Old Country, he figured out a way to review the movie "Hancock," even though, if you have an 8-year old and you took him to see the movie, The Dude's review might be a little too late because now, your 8-year old, probably, totally, loves the word "Asshole."

Happy movie-going!

What's New? A Podcast of: Apologies to The WGN&N, Bro-i-l, Sis, and Night Ranger. That Said, Happy 4th of July!

The Dude on the Right is in the doghouse for many too many reasons, so for this podcast he tries to apologize to The WGN&N, his Bro-i-l, and his Sis (but maybe not that much to his Sis), for previous comments done wrong, and he's also doing some apologizing to Night Ranger because The Dude always wanted to be a weather forecaster, but sucks at it, thus causing him to miss their concert.

The Dude also hopes people play things safe this 4th of July holiday weekend.  Hopefully he won't try the firecracker experiment mentioned in the movie "Armageddon," and you shouldn't try that science experiment, either.  You should, however, super-supervise any kids in your sight playing with sparklers, because, as an adult, that's your job.  1800 degrees F is a sparkler temperature (that's the bright, glowing part on the rod of a sparkler), and also close to the burning temperature of cremation.  Do your best to not let your kids, or the neighbor kids, know what it might feel like if they get cremated.

What's New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! RV-ing, Penn & Teller, Movie Talk, Toilet Paper, and More!

Some travel issues delayed Stu Gotz getting back in town so the podcast of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up!" was a day late, and even with some extra time, well, The Dude on the Right screwed up the opening.  But that's okay because they have lots to talk about, including some movie talk about "Wanted," "Wall-E," "Presto," and "Letters from Iwo Jima."  The Dude relates to Stu that he really should get Showtime so he could see "Penn & Teller: Bullshit," and Stu should also get Sirius Satellite Radio so he could hear ABBA, 24/7, for a couple of weeks.  Stu, on the other hand, relates his woes of toilet paper at airports.  They both talk about a fight at the Cubs/White Sox Crosstown Classic, they talk about tattoos, and with the 4th of July weekend coming up, they talk about how it looks like The Dude's BFF still won't get to meet any of The Dude's friends, even with the lure of REO Speedwagon.
