It’s officially summertime, and that means it’s time for everyone to escape their demons by going on vacation! Octavarius has gone on many vacations, very likely to more exciting places than the average Human has been to. Hear us discuss our favorite vacation spots, and consequently hear us make fun of each other’s favorite vacation spots. Also, a discussion on Mario Kart for some reason!
While we’re at it, let’s all wish Marc “The Sharc” Muszynski a belated happy birthday. Hopefully he’ll hear us from all the way in Canada (where he is currently on vacation), and hopefully he can’t sense that we all farted on his pillows in his absence.
We have an early Christmas gift for you, America. We made an audio commentary just for you! And all you need is a Hannah Montana DVD, so pretty much everyone is already covered, right? To partake in this experience, you’ll need to do the following:
1) Download the mp3 found below and load it up on your favorite computer or portable media device. 2) Rent or buy the Hannah Montana DVD as described in the audio file. If you have a Netflix account, the episode you need can be found in the Instant Play section, and if you have an Xbox 360 you can watch it directly on your TV! 3) Start playing the audio and follow the convenient, easy instructions. 4) Get ready to laff!
I had long been intrigued by the “Dark Side of the Rainbow” phenomenon, in which one can sync up Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” with “The Wizard of Oz” and achieve some very interesting results. The decades-old debate, of course, is whether or not Pink floyd had actually made a conscious effort to match up their album with the classic film. My personal view is that, though I would like to believe that the sync-up was intentional, the technology was far too primitive in 1973 to pull off that kind of feat, and that ultimately what you are watching is an elaborate string of coincidences. It would appear at first glance that there could never be a movie/album combination that could match up nearly as well, coincidental or not. You might even throw all of your CDs and DVDs in the garbage in desperation.
But fear not, America. For I am a genius. Here was my thought process.
“Pink Floyd have recorded other complex concept albums since Dark Side. The Wall was one of those albums. There are movies in existence with a name similar to The Wall. Like WALL-E. I own The Wall! I own WALL-E! I will force my roommates to watch this in its entirety to verify my hypothesis.”
And guess what? The match is nearly perfect. Almost to the point that you’d have to seriously wonder if the folks at Pixar had this combo in their noggins all along, just waiting to be discovered. By Tinz. Don’t believe me? I’ll show you how to sync up Another Brick In the WALL-E for yourselves. And as a bonus, I’ll show you the first few minutes to get you salivatin’ for more!
What’s that? The sound and picture quality are lousy? Then try it for yourselves.

It’s supposed to be fun. You don’t hate fun, do you?
Ever wonder what happens to the happy couples in the Disney movies after the credits roll? Saturday Night Live shows us Aladdin and Jasmine ten years down marriage road. This video perhaps ruins my devoted and elevated view on Disney movies, but it sure is funny to watch. Enjoy!
Keith, I’m so glad you took the challenge! Is it weird that I still want to try the grilled cheeseburger melt?… P.S. the “ahhh ha fools” picture = best picture of Keith ever.
