Mythbusters Crosses a Line Only I Care About

I’ve had my issues with Mythbusters in the past. Mostly little things, here and there – the unwillingess to ‘confirm’ things, the inclusion of ‘myths’ that fall under the category of ‘common knowledge’ (what’s that? A tongue will stick to frozen metal? Shocker!), but the thing that’s bothered me most about the show is the brutalization of pig carcasses.

Yeah, I know I’m squeamish. Which is odd, since I can watch the goriest movies imaginable without flinching, but still true. Show me a pig getting hit with a cannonball, and my stomach starts to flip.

Which is why the most recent episode of Mythbusters might have been the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen on non-surgery-related television.

Although there was some surgery.

Avod Friday! The Disturbing List!

This week on the Avod the Divemistress and myself address the pressing issues of the day, like whether Christine was a good movie, and just how badly IGN botched their list of the 15 most disturbing movies ever made.

If you'd like to find out what those films are, you can always listen to the avod by heading over to its blog, right-clicking and downloading here, or just going to IGN and finding the list for yourself.

Actually, on second thought, don't do that last one, please.

Show Notes!

Harper's Island starts on April 9th on CBS at 10PM, Eastern Standard Time . If you're wondering where it plays in your area, please check your local listings - and then get ready to join in with the Avod and the great 'figure out who the killer is-a-thon!'

The Avod: Blood and Sex Nightmare!

Tonight on the Avod, the Divemistress and myself review the film whose box art is pictured above. So yeah, this one might not be for all audiences.

Just to keep things lively though, we also discuss our ongoing attempts to become fans of Fringe (here's a spoiler - it's not going that well), but then things get gruesome again, as we move on to discussing Rue Morgue's list of the 50 goriest films of all time.

You may enjoy the Avod by right-clicking here and choosing to save the downlad, then listening to it at your own convenience. Perhaps when jogging!
