Few films dare to delve as deep into the baboon psyche as this week's Bootleg Commentaries movie, SHAKMA! When a group of med students decide to play an overnight session of *(strikethrough)Dungeons & Dragons* a generic fantasy game, little do they know that one of their lab experiments, a baboon named Shakma, has been injected with liquid rage and escaped!

With Christopher Atkins as the useless hero, Amanda Wyss as the med student with a heart of gold, and Roddy McDowell as the "Gay Master" (their words, not ours), Shakma is a genuinely tense film that probably succeeds mostly because of the very real mental distress of the titular primate.

As we surgically scrutinize this 1990 psycho animal thriller, we're joined by animal trainer and stuntman extraordinaire, Monty Cox, a 45 year veteran of the film industry. Monty has owned, trained and worked with hundreds of animals including tigers, rhinos, lions and more. One of Monty's animal's was Typhoon, the hamadryas baboon who stars as Shakma.

Tomorrow is the debut episode of my new podcast #BootlegCommentary and I’m stoked because it’s with the craziest old man I’ve ever had the misfortune to know.

He’s an animal trainer who has had more animals than Amish families have branches on the family tree. Everything from Lions to Tigers, to one pissed off Baboon named Typhoon.

I feel like this is the focus group who said Kindergarten Cop 2 was good to go. 

Just watched #TheBurning last night and it was pretty incredible. Nothing like I thought it was going to be like, every time I was thinking to myself... “ok, here we go.. I know where this is going...” The film proved me wrong.

After three weeks off, Aaron is back from Japan and we’re dead-set on talking television. A LOT OF TELEVISION! Seriously, so much TV. Mind you, it’s been three weeks. Get ready for a THREE HOUR episode.

Bu…

Thank you ALL for the 2+ years of dedicated listening - downloads - comments - and even nudie pics... Stephen, I'm talking to you. 

This will be my last update for the Now Streaming Podcast, but it's mainly because I need to move on to bigger and more career driven projects. So to say goodbye I invited everyone who has ever been a guest on the show to come over and be part of the event!

We play games we've talked about over the time, people break down and tell me what they didn't like about the show, and I find out that the game we've never played, Get Hans Drunk and Have Him Explain Movies, is probably the game I should have been playing since day one... I'm sure his liver thanks me for not doing that.

Unfortunately, Buz's segment where I played LEARN AFTER READING was lost due to a computer error, but let it be know, I was able to get a point with one comment! So BOOM! I know how to do it.

  Please keep your eyes on @andrewfurtaco for updates because there will be more podcasts coming in the future, but as far as Now Streaming is concerned, the fat lady has sung.

We’re coming to a close soon and I made sure to make this 2nd to last episode of Now Streaming count… by doing what I SHOULD have been doing since episode 2.

We're coming to a close soon and I made sure to make this 2nd to last episode of Now Streaming count... by doing what I SHOULD have been doing since episode 2.

I learned about more movies on this podcast than almost 90 episodes combined. Thanks for my guests Bart Kimball, Greg Ephram, and Brandon Gilbrech who went with me on a new format. Instead of reviewing a specific movie I had my guests write their top 10 favorite titles on Netflix and then created games inspired by their titles.

We cover all the titles from my hidden favorites like Shakma all the way to foreign hits like Boys from Brazil. We then played games like AirBud/Pulp Fiction and Peaky Blinders... You'll have to SEE it to believe it!

I would say this episode rejuvenated my love for the show and inspired me to keep going, but then that means I'd be going back on my word and slowing down on my career, so F-DAT.

Next week will be my final episode of the show and I've invited everyone who has been a guest to come by and hang out. We'll be live streaming it via FB, so please feel free to join in and be part of "history".

It’s our final episode until Aaron returns from Japan. Get ready, we talk about television for a while … pull up a chair, get a drink … get comfortable and all that!

HOW DID A #NationalGeographic Doc Make Bermuda Triangle More Mysterious??

The Bermuda Triangle has become known over the years as one of Earth’s most mysterious locations. Officially defined as the portion of the Atlantic Ocean in between Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico (if you form a triangle between the three), it appears to be a pretty normal area, and in fact one that would be traversed fairly frequently. However, a history of strange occurrences there, most…

Apparently I am the only person to do a FULL COMMENTARY of the Gasper Noe film Love... so Today please allow us to be here to make history! Actor Graham Skipper and special effects GURU Stephen Imhoff join me and make the film just as entertaining as you'd ever hope.

Please enjoy this EXTRA long episode about an EXTRA long member... I'm talking about a big penis.
