Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Lots of Movies, Mama Gotz’s Issues, A New Ringtone, and Peeing on a Stick.

By:

The Dude on the Right

After my being away for a week
for some sadness, Stu Gotz and I are back
together for some happiness, and what better way to be happy than with a

"Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast
. My return to normalcy has been all about movies
so I tell Stu about

"Cloverfield,"


"27 Dresses,"


"Jimmy and Judy,"
and my attempt to keep my niece innocent and wholesome by
taking her to see

"The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything."
But while I was attempting to promote
wholesomeness it seems Stu got a provocative photo from Mama Gotz, and he also
describes a commercial he saw about a pregnancy test.

We also talk some
football during the podcast, what with the upcoming Super Bowl and all, and I
also let Stu know what I’ve changed my ringtone to for him (it’s also the new
ringtone for my nephew and sister). And, oh yea, Stu wants you to watch
"psych"
on the USA Network, and I still don’t know why.

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

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Movies & TV, Britney & Lindsay, Weather & Delilah.

By:

The Dude on the Right

Man, those holidays on a Tuesday really screwed with our

“Stu & The Dude Weekend Wrap-Up!” podcasts
, but thankfully tomorrow is just
January 8th so Stu and I got together to reflect on weeks gone by, or at least
to talk about last weekend. Movies were a big topic of conversation as I told
him about

“One Missed Call,”
while Stu’s Netflix cue was working overtime. And as much
as movies are important, Stu and I have different views on Dr. Phil’s intrusion
into the latest BUI episode (that would be Britney Under the Influence for those
of you who don’t read our sister site,
mostlyentertainment.com), and
why not talk about Lindsay Lohan if you’re talking about Britney?

Stu’s looking forward to a lot of TV shows returning on cable, I school him
on "American Gladiators," and I still like

my concept for The Golden Globe Awards
, but the weather in Chicagoland is
still a warm topic, and as much as

I hate Delilah
I’m also starting to hate Stu’s obsessing about
my hating
Delilah
.

Happy New Year!

By:

The Dude on the Right


It’s one last podcast for 2007
so mostly I just want to say "Thank you!" and
I hope you have a great 2008.  If my actress stalking is any indication, my
2008 looks to be very complicated.  I do give you some of my New Year’s
goals for the website, and one personal one as well, and I’m also sad because
2008 starts with my not having a football team to cheer on anymore. 
Oh well!

Thanks for listening, thanks for you support, and Happy New Year!

A Chubbier Nephew, Lorain, and A Christmas Tradition.

By:

The Dude on the Right

So I’m home from home for the holidays and

what better way to celebrate than with a podcast
. As Christmas is always an
interesting trip to the old country of Lorain, OH, it occurred to me again that
whoever let a railroad be run along the lake front failed to see the future
value of said lake front in Lorain, especially with the loss of the Ford plant
and the reduction of the steel mill. But that wasn’t really the shock, what was
the shock was the weight gain of my nephew. I know he looks up to me, Uncle
Dude, but he shouldn’t try to look like me!  My niece gave me some bling
for a present, my mom was in the hospital (which sucks on one hand but had her
missing a blow-out on the other), and my Christmas tradition of taking my under
17 year old niece to an R-rated movie continued for the last time (next year
she’ll be 17) with a trip to see "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet
Street."

And in a story probably missed by many, even me, there was a death in
2007 of one of the most important people to affect the life of college students
everywhere – Momofuku Ando. If you want to know why, you’ll just have to listen.

I hope to do one more podcast for 2007 reflecting on this upcoming weekend
where I hope to see four movies, will probably watch the Chicago Bears win but
still suck, and maybe hint at my resolutions for 2008.  Then again, I might
just clean my fish tank.  We’ll see.

Thanks for listening and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas, A Nasally Cold, A Parenting Book, Ringtones, and Shooting at Santa!

By:

The Dude on the Right

I still have a head cold, but at least

for this podcast
I don’t have a shirt sleeve full of dry snot!  I do
want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, or whatever you are celebrating this
time of year, because unless I get really ambitious or one of my relatives wants
to participate in a podcast next Monday (though I doubt they have the guts), our
next podcast won’t be until next Thursday, after the celebrated day that most
music award winners need in their lives in order to win their awards.

I do
promise that, for this podcast, I don’t speak the name "Jamie Lynn Spears," and
after AT&T released their top ten ringtones of 2007, I realize I am so behind
the music curve because who knew Shop Boyz, with their hit song "Party Like a
Rockstar," was so popular, and after listening to it, I liked it and might add
it to my exercise playlist, and with the New Year upon us, the New Year’s
version of the ringtone might be a festive add to my iPhone.

On an ending
Christmas note, I do spotlight why Chicago is the better choice over Rio De
Janeiro for the upcoming 2016 Olympics, especially in the terms of our (I mean
Chicago’s) treating of Santa Claus.

Thanks for listening and Merry Christmas!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! They Both See Movies, The Dude has a Cold, and Stu’s Getting Old.

By:

The Dude on the Right

Even though I’m sporting a head cold, and Stu Gotz just got over one (go ahead,
make your own conclusions), we stuck it out and got together for another

episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast.
  Both us saw

"I Am Legend"
and

"Alvin and the Chipmunks,"
so of course we dissect them. We also talk a bit
about the death of Dan Fogelberg, and I was correct, he died from prostate
cancer and not skin cancer which is what Stu thought. I also hip Stu to the
latest doings of Mr. Chocolate Rain,
Tay Zonday, while Stu
wonders what movies are coming out over the Christmas holiday (I
tell him, of course
).

There are a few more tidbits during our podcast, so
I don’t want to spoil them here, but let’s just say I’m not buying the fact that
Stu injured his right hand and arm doing real work, but rather doing something right-handed dudes are likely to do with their hand and arm.

Thanks for listening!

Hannah Montana, Baseball & Steroids, The Golden Globe Nominations, and Here Comes Santa!

By:

The Dude on the Right

As Christmas is less than two weeks away I realized I need to kick into gear my
holiday shopping and would have had the perfect gift for my niece, but sadly
Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus isn’t playing near my niece with the newly released
tour dates.  Now I have to come up with something lame for her.  I
still might try to get tickets for Hannah’s next show in Chicago, though,
because as much as the curiosity in seeing her might be overwhelming, not seeing
Hannah might be even more exciting if I’m able to get a thousand bucks a ticket.


But this podcast
isn’t really about Hannah Montana, nope, I’m rallying some
sports’ figures to join together and sue a bunch of news outlets who said they
did steroids before the Mitchell Report was actually released. I also wonder
about the sense of humor of the members of the
Hollywood Foreign Press
Association
because they failed to nominate

"Knocked Up"
nor

"Superbad"
for a Golden Globe Award in the "Best Motion Picture – Comedy or
Musical" category.  I guess there were too many musicals this year for them
to be giddy about rather than a reason to laugh.  At least they did
nominate John C. Reilly for his role in

"Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story,"
but since that movie hasn’t been released
yet, I can’t tell you if he was better than Christopher Mintz-Plasse, but I
doubt it because how can you top McLovin in "Superbad"?

"Survivor:
China"
is almost done and I’m putting my money on the skinny dudette, the TV
season is almost over, and it’s time to start thinking about your New Year’s
Resolutions.  Even though, during the podcast, I say that losing weight
will probably be on that list, now that I think about it I should have something
more realistic in mind, so I’m thinking that at the top of my resolution list
will be to win the Lottery.  One has to start on their life goals at some
time, don’t they?

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! “The Golden Compass” Analysis, Weather Woes, and More Movie Talk.

By:

The Dude on the Right

Stu Gotz and I brave the ice and snow to get together, but it will take a lot
more than Stu falling on his ass to stop us from doing our

"Weekend Wrap-Up!" podcast.
  Both of our weekends were filled with
seeing

"The Golden Compass"
with both of us not really liking it.  Our
analysis is one for the Hollywood books!  And as we discuss a current film,
we also talk a bit about the upcoming "I Am Legend" movie, which I couldn’t
remember is based on a book from the 1950’s and a couple of films, namely

"The Last Man on Earth"
and
"The Omega
Man,"
and as much as Stu might want to add those movies to his Netflix
queue, it seems Mama Gotz has taken over the Gotz Netfilx selections, unless,
well, Stu has a thing for Marie Antoinette.

Sure, we talk a lot about movies,
but we also discuss some football, including the streaks of the New England
Patriots and Miami Dolphins, some TV with Mama Gotz’s solution to the writer’s
strike, and how Stu has no taste in music anymore, possibly costing me some
concert clearance.

Thanks for listening!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend (and Thanksgiving) Wrap-Up! The Dude Calls 911 Twice, Stu Sees Movies and a Parade.

By:

The Dude on the Right

No one should have to get good at it, but my Thanksgiving weekend honed my
skills at dialing 911, which I briefly explain why to Stu Gotz during our

"Weekend (and Thanksgiving) Wrap-Up!"
  I did get to see "March of the
Penguins" complete with 40 minutes worth of commercials, but Mom laughed at some
of my jokes during the movie so it was okay.

Stu, though, had a hugely busy
Turkey Day weekend filling me on his seeing "Enchanted" and "August Rush" on the
big screen, seeing

"The Guardian
" on the small screen, and taking the Gotz family to see the
Chicago Thanksgiving Day Parade from the comfort of a hotel room.  Stu can
be very ingenious at times.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Tig old Bitties, Mots of Lovies, and Gama Motz!

By:

The Dude on the Right

It’s a Monday, it’s another

podcast of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!"
, and we’ve got a special
guest, namely Mama Gotz, and this time she is more talkative, as opposed to the
last time she was a special guest.  Maybe it’s because this time we have so
much to talk about.

First we talk about "Tig old Bitties," which seemed to be
a way the TV show "30 Rock" found to get around the FCC censors, and Stu gets
into a huge rant about the TV writer’s strike and its affecting his favorite
shows.  I try to calm Stu down so eventually all of us discuss our movie
going weekends, including "Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium,"

"No Country for Old Men,"
and

"Beowulf."
  Stu wanted to make fun of me for missing Garth Brooks at
the movies while I tell him it’s probably a good thing

I lost my ticket
, but I do hip Stu to my seeing

"Shaw/Blades,"
even with my valet disaster.

Thanksgiving is also upon us
all, so from all of us to all of you, Happy Turkey-Day!

Thanks for listening!
