Sounds, Visions and Insights by Brian Skutle

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Date of Track: December 2009 Style of Track: Geeks divided. After taking in the “Star Wars Holiday Special” for the first time, our intrepid Yahoos didn’t feel they had enough punishment, so they put their varying opinions on record for Michael Bay’s giant robot sequel. Can they take the idiotic […]

Speed Racer (part 1 of 3) Speed Racer (part 2 of 3) Speed Racer (part 3 of 3) Date of Track: March 2009 Style of Track: A tad unusual. Our good friend Mike joined us for this track, which we chose to record at the last minute before our good friend Dave moved away. The […]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Part 1 of 3) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Part 2 of 3) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Part 3 of 3) Date of Track: December 2008 Style of Track: Nostalgic but fair. The Yahoos look at the […]

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (Part 1 of 3) Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (Part 2 of 3) Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (Part 3 of 3) Date of Track: March 2004 Style of Track: We like it, we love it. Largely considered the best of the “Star Trek” […]

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Part 1 of 4) The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Part 2 of 4) The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Part 3 of 4) The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Part 4 of […]

Planet of the Apes (Part 1 of 3) Planet of the Apes (Part 2 of 3) Planet of the Apes (Part 3 of 3) Date of Track: Summer 2004 Style of Track: Affectionate and analytical. Going through their first film of personal favorite Tim Burton, the Yahoos also happen to choose arguably the most divisive. […]

Independence Day (Part 1 of 3) Independence Day (Part 2 of 3) Independence Day (Part 3 of 3) Date of Track: Summer 2003 Style of Track: Nerd anyone? Before he made crap-fests like “Godzilla” and “10,000 B.C.” (with “The Day After Tomorrow” not far behind), Roland Emmerich hit fanboy worship critical mass with this phenomenon […]

Serenity (Part 1 of 3) Serenity (Part 2 of 3) Serenity (Part 3 of 3) Date of Track: December 2005 Style of Track: Argumentative. The Yahoos clearly love Joss Whedon’s TV show “Firefly,” and their passion lead them to an advance screening of the show’s big screen incarnation. But as Whedon wrote in his “Buffy” […]

Toy Story (Part 1 of 2) Toy Story (Part 2 of 2) Date of Track: December 2004 Style of Track: Overly lauditory. Shortly after “The Incredibles” and on the doorstep of 10 years since the film’s release, the Yahoos finally comment on the wonderful world of Pixar. The results? What do you think? Read Brian’s […]

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (part 1 of 3) A.I. Artificial Intelligence (part 2 of 3) A.I. Artificial Intelligence (part 3 of 3) Date of Track: July 2003 Style of Track: Reflective and analytical. On this track for Spielberg’s flawed and fascinating science-fiction epic (Brian’s favorite film from the director), the Yahoos are once again joined by […]
