Ep. 73 - The Borderlands (2013)
Waxing the Porpoise
09/07/23 • 101 min
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve return to horror in order to properly herald the coming of the Halloween season as we give a butcher's to the little known found footage delight called The Borderlands (aka Final Prayer in the US and Canada) from 2013 which has been called the UK's most disturbing found footage film ever, okurrr.
Join us as we journey across the pond to brush up on found footage 101, talk about some of the generational tactics employed by religious institutions to bring about pagan assimilation, bumping the Pristiq jingle part deux and our own plan to convert the masses, Steve's fear of confined spaces, and we remember simpler times where we had to lug around a caselogic binder full of CD's in order to get our musical fix.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, bathed in unholy water and cast asunder, seek redemption and reconsecration in the eyes of the almighty god.
What's your favorite Young Jeezy song and can you finish the lyric "Cook ya faster than a T-Bone at ____"?

Ep. 66 - OceanGate Titan x Titanic Conspiracies
Waxing the Porpoise
07/13/23 • 102 min
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again get nautical as we examine the wreckage of two ill-fated marine excursions - the recent OceanGate Titan submersible implosion and it's wildly speculative and conspiratorial connections to the RMS Titanic left in it's wake.
Join us as we wax on water about some of the dubious distinctions and red flags held by OceanGate Expeditions and then briefly review the sinking of the Titanic and it's connections to people and institutions such as J.P. Morgan, the Federal Reserve, and BIG OCEAN - question mark.
We'll also hear G-Baby espouse the probably made up "Law of the Sea" and finally we'll bring it home with reason number 525,600 that Bill "Hips" Paxton is "The Extreme".
So remember, dear listeners, the ocean is a mistress of secrets, and those who dare to uncover them must navigate the treacherous waters with caution.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers armed with their trademark wit and deep diving capabilities, dare to plunge into the abyss of conspiracy that surrounds these fateful vessels.
You can't explain it, you can't predict it.
Let's wax this unsinkable porpoise.

Ep. 39 - Coors Light Chronicles vol. 3
Waxing the Porpoise
01/05/23 • 103 min
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back special guest and friend, Richard aka Dick Dawg, for a third time to discuss the sentencing of his mother's killer, the loss of his beloved sister Melissa, and how through all that he's been able to remain the uniquely resilient and charismatic friend we wish we all had.
Palate cleansers include Richard getting a shot at Valid-Victorian redemption, a quick Huell Howser nostalgia trip and the show ending on a more hopeful note as we set the table for a fourth and final volume of the Coors Light Chronicles.
Have you ever beat a dead horse while it was alive and with your car?

Ep. 83 - The Ghost Writer (2010)
Waxing the Porpoise
01/11/24 • 97 min
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve cover 2010's The Ghost Writer, a book adaptation directed by the controversial figure Roman Polanski and stars Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan and Olivia Williams. Between all the political intrigue, deception, manipulation, war crimes and paranoia - this underseen gem will keep you busy.
Join us as we discuss equilibrium shifting vortices, New York mayor Eric Adams and why he should do less interviews, address the obligatory confusion between this flick and the Nic Cage Ghost Rider as well as the early 90's PBS kids show Ghost Writer and because we recorded this a little in advance, we'll finish off with a few favorite classic and a couple deep cut holiday flick recommendations as we skate right on by the season and into the new year.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, guided this time by Obi-Wan himself are once again beckoned to follow a mystery wrapped in an enigma all while we try not to get in over our blowholes - may the phocoena be with us.
He's a ghost, and he writes to us. Ghostwriter.

Ep. 64 - The Last Detail (1973)
Waxing the Porpoise
06/29/23 • 103 min
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve drop anchor to review the classic film The Last Detail from 1973 about a couple of Navy chasers on a prisoner escort featuring a very young Randy Quaid and pre-Chinatown era Jack Nicholson. Acting as our compass rose we welcome special guest Matt from the Swords in Stereo podcast - space vampire evangelist, modern day renaissance man and a former sailor himself - to guide us through the siren song of the sea.
Join us as Matt and the porpoises join forces to journey through uncharted waters and discuss Matt's time in the Navy and how it compares to it's depiction on film, the pursuit of mischief in the name of making memories that would force Poseidon himself to blush, and answer the age old question, just what is a shellback?
Would you eat a cherry out of a fat man's bellybutton? Call for a good maritime.

Ep. 97 - Longlegs (2024)
Waxing the Porpoise
08/02/24 • 89 min
Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained.
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back special guest and friend of the show, Chris of the Mount Molehill podcast to raise the flag and rap about the new Oz Perkins joint setting the world on fire, Longlegs from 2024.
Join us as we discuss the Hollywood hype machine and new age marketing tactics employed by the film, did it need more or less Nic Cage, the Port Chester Whooping Crane, and ponder the question is Longlegs a continuation within the Phantasm cinematic universe?
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dance between the world of the real and the supernatural whilst we resist the pull of a hermeneutic spin cycle. And where in the heck is Reggie Bannister when you need him?
Let's wax this phantasmagorical porpoise.

Ep. 67 - eXistenZ (1999)
Waxing the Porpoise
07/20/23 • 95 min
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again call upon the auspiciously enigmatic and cinematic maven Miles to help us parse through 1999's intriguingly abstruse techno-mystical game within a game within a reality within a matrix, David Cronenberg's eXistenZ.
Grab your VR headsets and get ready for a direct upload of existential dilemmas, hog expansion and warped perceptions in what some might call a precursor to Inception.
On this episode we'll talk about the perhaps collective Cronenberg family trauma manifesting as grotesque body horror art, the fatwa issued against Salman Rushdie, the cyclical nature of our world, and gelatinous reptile/amphibian cuisine.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to gleam the cube once more where in eXistenZ, the truth is as elusive as a hall of smoke and mirrors and reality bends like Beckham.
Maybe the real treasure was the eXtenZe we found along the way.
Let's wax this transcendental porpoise.

Ep. 75 - The Thing (1982)
Waxing the Porpoise
09/22/23 • 108 min
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again welcome Miles to the show, a man whose insights cut sharper than a surgeon's scalpel to help us pass the blood test and review the once reviled and now widely celebrated, John Carpenter's The Thing from 1982.
Join us as we learn what four and a baby means by way of one of the many porpoise patron saints Young Jeezy, stand in awe of Rob Bottin's absolute unit of a hair piece, and discuss more of the background of The Thing including why it was so poorly received initially and now is one of the most highly revered horror films of all time.
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to overcome cabin fever and widespread paranoia in this journey through the frozen wastelands where shape-shifters lurk, trust is a rare commodity, and the only thing colder than the ice is G-Baby's ex's heart.
Could you spot a guava in a lineup full of exotic fruits?

Ep. 15 - Chinatown (1974)
Waxing the Porpoise
07/21/22 • 76 min
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve take the grapevine to 1930's Los Angeles as we discuss one of the all time greats, Chinatown (1974). Water rights, corruption, murder, incest - strap in friends, this ain't no trip to Disneyland. "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."

Ep. 62 - No Time to Die (2021)
Waxing the Porpoise
06/15/23 • 143 min
This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back a man whose gaze could pierce through the thickest fog - Staring Jon, the enigmatic oracle of intrigue - to wrap up our Daniel Craig Bond era retrospective with the fifth and final entry in the series, a dark symphony of espionage and treachery, where secrets are currency and the twin dragons of love and loyalty clash with ruthless cunning, No Time to Die from 2021.
Join us as we recap G-Baby's dance with the devilish elixir known as Malort from the last episode, who may have overindulged and gifted us with an impromptu performance of the technicolor yawn, explore the depths of Bond's character and the seemingly impenetrable legacy Daniel Craig has left us with and wrap up with some fun Amazon reviews, namely the wild west hellscape of Haribo's line of sugar free gummy bears.
Remember, dear listeners, in this realm of high stakes and even higher body counts, one must always keep their wits sharp and their Malort intake in check.
And in the case of 5 year old Mathilde, James YOU ARE THE FATHER!
Let's wax this timeless porpoise.
