The Comedy Button — Street Fighter Commentary (2011-12-30)
CHINA! INDIA! JAPAN! BRAZIL! Raul Julia’s swansong takes place in none of these countries, and it’s actually nothing like the video game at all. In fact, we’re not really sure why this movie is called “Street Fighter” at all. Whatever the case, kick back and listen to us make fun of one of the worst video-game-to-movie adaptations of all time. YOU WIN! PERFECT! Starring Scott Bromley, Brian Altano, Anthony Gallegos, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville.

The Geekbox: Episode 150

To close out 2011, we’ve got a special dual-Fitch episode, with Adam Fitch and returning guest host (and founding Geekbox host!) Andrew Fitch. May you find the proceedings half as crazy as I did. Don’t forget to check out the Kickstarter page for Karen Chu’s in-progress trivia/quiz show podcast project, Good Job, Brain! — she’s doing well so far, but please help to get her project funded if it sounds interesting to you! And if you’re planning to play Star Wars: The Old Republic, roll Empire on Dark Reaper, and look for the Phantom Geekbox guild!

The Comedy Button: Home Alone 2 Commentary

If you haven’t snagged your Home Alone 2 DVD from our Amazon store yet, now’s the time! Share it with all your friends, because this might be the funniest thing we’ve ever recorded, in my not-so-humble opinion. Also, if you’re an iPhone or Android user, you might want to consider picking up our Comedy Button app via the iOS Podcast Box or Android Marketplace for the low price of $1.99 — it’s an easy way to support us, as we get 50% of the revenue. Anyway… enjoy the commentary, happy holidays, and keep an eye out for our Street Fighter commentary next week!

The Comedy Button — Home Alone 2 Commentary (2011-12-23)
Just in time for Christmas, it’s our first official movie commentary — and it’s for that fun-filled 1992 torture porn classic, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Marvel at young (and sociopathic) Kevin McCallister’s extreme aptitude for mercilessly assaulting hapless thieves within inches of their lives, and ring in those happy holidays with joyous cheers of “that guy should have permanent brain damage right now.” It’s fun for the whole family! So queue up your DVDs, grab a drink, and get ready for our expert analysis on what could quite possibly be the prequel to Saw. Starring Scott Bromley, Brian Altano, Anthony Gallegos, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville.

The Geekbox: Episode 149

Two fun things this week: First, Max Scoville — of Destructoid and Comedy Button fame — joins us, filling the home-for-the-holidays Justin Haywald’s empty seat. Second, Karen Chu’s starting her own podcast, a trivia/quiz show called Good Job, Brain! She’s set up a Kickstarter project to secure funding for recording equipment, and she’s got some pretty cool incentive prizes for her backers. So check it out, read her pitch, and consider tossing her some cash if it sounds interesting to you. If anyone knows trivia, it’s certainly Karen!
