Hungry Cliff Podcast

Bank fraud, music fraud, and relationship fraud.   This week the Hungry Cliff team talks about an addition to the Hungry Cliff family and attempts to figure out who Pedro really is. We also loudly disagree on the specific definition of musical theft. Learn the identities of the first Hungry Cliff contest winners and find out why we call something "the apple of our eye". We speak with special guest and ex-con Joe Knight to learn how to pull off the ultimate Valentine's Day... alone. And also many more cheerful things.   Websites: Film Tracks   Music: Maria Schneider John Williams Peter Maxwell Davies Elliott Carter Hans Zimmer Samuragochi Mamoru Niigaki Takashi Alan Silvestri   Board games: The Resistance   Don't forget you can support Hungry Cliff by going to our Shop at the top of our page or by using our Amazon and iTunes Search Boxes at the top-right of our blog.

We're BOLDER! We like to rock! How are we supposed to know?! 20 years of Hungry Cliff history in 20 mins! Plus, 'Would of, Could of, Should of... those songs that could've been hits... and aren't deep cuts'. Obviously, the Hungry Cliff team has been professionally trained in the art of broadcasting in various foreign countries. BUT, we're finally revealing EXACTLY where they've been. How did Andrew and Tony start working together... and why? PLUS, Andrew looks at why record labels only release certain songs as 'singles' and reveals a few songs that should've been/could've been hits with our very first 'Would of, Could of, Should of... those songs that could've been hits... and aren't deep cuts' segment.

Tom Cruise is finally tall enough, Michelle Branch loves Kid Rock and David breaks into the construction biz (all thanks to his knowledge of Jazz)! You've spent the last 3 weeks pulling your hair out over exams, you now officially have $80,000 in student loans AND you live at home with your parents (*cough* Andrew). So, what are you actually planning on doing with that college degree? David explains how he's been using his Bachelor's Degree in 'Music and Jazz Studies' to further his haunted house construction career! Tony demands us to look at Tom Cruise ONLY if he's on real 70mm film. Plus, Andrew talks about shooting 78 bands in 48 hours and reads a few emails from our Hungry Cliff fans (Hungry Cliff'tonauts? Hungry Cliff'ians? Hungry Cliff'toids'?)!

John Malkovich gives us the joy of unbridled laughter, 20 years for a follow-up album is just about the right amount of time and Andrew's legal problems are finally over. Yes, your eyes didn't deceive you. This is not a "Special" episode. I can understand your disappointment coming off not one, but two "Specials" in a row but if every one of them is special than none of them are special. That said, we might have scaled back the length and impressive unseen visual gags but we definitely didn't scale back the witty banter. We are joined by David and Jessica Houston to discuss numerous unimportant and unrelated topics including Parks and Recreation, Nelson's new album 'Lightning Strikes Twice', and, for all the neigh-sayers out there that tell us we don't cover enough animal films, the Diane Lane, John Malkovich horse racing movie 'Secretariat'. Oh, and there's yet another surprise announcement. Why not? So don't rein in the fun because it's time to horse around with yet another Hungry Cliff Podcast. (SPOILER WA

Spotify becomes an American citizen, Matthew has a surprise (it's important but don't forget to pick up milk on the way home) while Andrew peels the onion. It's our 2nd podcast special in a row... that's right, the 10th (episode) Anniversary Special!!! Celebrate with us as we preview the new Spotify Beta, an unlimited streaming music service, hear from Matthew about a surprise commitment and finally reach deep into our souls and reveal a little more about what makes us tick. It's a rare event to have all three main hosts, Tony, Andrew and Matthew, in the studio at the same time so we didn't want to waste the opportunity. Why is Matthew working with Hungry Cliff, does he even care (and if he does, does it really matter), where does Andrew's ego sleep at night and can Tony settle for second best and can Tony settle for second best and can Tony settle for second best? All these questions and more may be answered in this week's heart-wrenching episode of the Hungry Cliff Podcast. (SPOILER WARNING for those who do

Michael Bay paints an apology, Pixar looks tired and wet balloons could save your life. Have we got a show for you... Michael Bay, cheesecake, Cars 2, NBC's The Voice, Shia LaBeouf, surprise party, sleeping bags, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, ex-girlfriends, IMAX, LieMAX, secret notes, emu farming... wait, that last one is for everyday so it doesn't count.

Apple makes editors cry, Kevin Bacon makes superheroes die but a little ice cream always makes it better. What a week it's been. Apple released the new Final Cut Pro X and the pros aren't happy. We discuss our first week using it and see if it really is cursing the ground editors once stood. We also throw in a bit of comic relief with reviews of 'The Green Lantern' and 'X-Men: First Class' since there's only so much drama one can take. So grab some Rocky Road and get ready for this week's podcast. (SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't seen the films.)

You can't work with children, you can't work with animals but you should work with Stanley Tucci. Another week, another round of entertaining gibberish. From Jim Carrey in 'Mr. Popper's Penguins' to Stanley Tucci's dognapping days, this week's podcast has it all (and if by all you mean the 13 diverse topics we discuss, than yes, it has it all). We even take a virtual trip to France to drop in on Woody Allen's new flick 'Midnight in Paris'. Plus, Andrew finally has some to time tell us where Chris Sligh has been hiding since his American Idol appearance. Oh, and we even got a little help from our first official guests! So pull out your vacuum, dust off your duster and get ready to clean your house because another Hungry Cliff Podcast is about to commence... (SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't seen the films.)

Is J.J. Abrams too young, is Steven Spielberg too old and is Andrew just too wrong? With two of our favorite filmmakers collaborating on a passion project, we couldn't help but dive head first into the new movie 'Super 8'. And since this topic is too big for just Andrew and me we had to bring in a pro, our uncle Vince Silanskas of Altair 6 Films, to join in the discussion of what some say is a new classic for our generation. But did it live up to the hype and bring back that missing magic of the movies? Plus, we still managed to squeeze in a little Apple since they've had a very exciting week introducing iOS 5, Mac OS X Lion and the new iCloud. So jump into your DeLorean, accelerate to 88 MPH and click play on your Walkman as we travel back to '80s NostalgiaVille for this week's podcast!

Is 3D dying, are movie theatres dead and is Google immortal? Our minds have been filled with many thoughts this week (for a change) and, lucky for you, a few of those thoughts escaped into this podcast. How many times have you had a bad experience at a movie theater recently? Well, if you're like us it's probably more than you care to admit and frankly we're fed up with it. And thanks to 3D it's been getting worse! Ty Burr of the Boston Globe is trying to get the word out so we thought we'd help him and add a little ourselves. Plus, Google tries to one-up Facebook with its new Plus 1 button and Michael J. Fox finally tells me 'The Secret of My Success'. Thanks Mike. All this and more is just a click of the play button away.

The ground breaks for Apple and Intel, the sky turns to Grey and the Thunderbolt rolls. This week we discuss the surprisingly unknown artist Skylar Grey and how she has been a shaking up the music industry.

Plus, we’re finally allowed to put on our geek hats and dig into new Apple products including iMacs, Thunderbolt and Final Cut Pro X. There are updates, too, on the Rock for S.E.A.T.H. cause and how you can continue to help make a difference. Oh, and let us know if our barksmanship has improved. We tried.

J.J. Abrams finds a new island, Zooey Deschanel grows smaller and Steven Spielberg battles himself. That's right, the network TV upfronts were this past week and we've saved you the agony and went through the piles of junk from NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX to find this fall's barely watchable… I mean… best new shows including: NBC 'Up All Night', 'Grimm', 'Awake', 'Smash' ABC 'Apartment 23', 'Last Man Standing', 'The River' CBS 'A Gifted Man', 'Person of Interest' FOX 'New Girl', 'Terra Nova', 'Alcatraz' Hosts: Tony Silanskas, Andrew Silanskas and Matthew Biggers; Intro and outro music: Pedro Mendoza

This week we discuss Duncan Jones' new flick 'Source Code' starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga and the man who doesn't do enough children's films, Jeffrey Wright. We also uncover the origins of a new country gem, The Band Perry, and learn why Harrison Ford can never work with Darren Aronofsky. Spoiler alert for those who haven't seen the film. Hosts: Tony Silanskas and Andrew Silanskas; Intro and outro music: Pedro Mendoza

This week we review the new Vin Diesel and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson action flick "Fast Five" and discover why you should always get your dessert first. We also take a moment to introduce ourselves, since it'd be inconsiderate of us not to seeing that it is our first podcast. Spoiler alert for those who haven't seen the film.
