This week, a lack of a coherent topic combined with our pooled insanity results in a movie commentary for Dead or Alive, the 2006 movie directed by Corey Yuen and produced by Paul W.S. Anderson ( Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil). As such, the Naked Cartoon Podcast Crew would highly recommend finding a totally legal means of watching the movie--just wink and nod, we know you're not going to buy it--and coordinating the podcast audio and film; the directions are in the show notes and the podcast itself. As always, comment, subscribe and leave constructive feedback!  
 

Show Notes 

 

00:00-00:17

Does a poo-slinging truck more than make up for character and story depth? 
 

00:18-01:25

Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2/Paradise OST - Main Theme (Instrumental)

Dead or Alive: Paradise OST - Violet Eyed Beauty 


05:11-05:58

Movie commentary preparations. PLEASE READ! 


***IF YOU ARE USING A TOTALLY LEGAL DVD/DOWNLOAD*** 
Chances are that if you're using the above method, the movie will start with a Universal logo and whatnot. Skip past all that beginning logo crap and head right to when you see "DOA: Dead or Alive" on the screen. There should be purple flags and some temple shit in the background. It's approximately between 00:01:07-00:01:08 in. 
 
***IF YOU ARE USING A TOTALLY LEGAL STREAMING SITE***
Chances are that if you're using the above method, the movie will NOT start with a Universal logo and whatnot. Instead, you should be seeing the camera just beginning to go over a stone wall as the "DOA: Dead or Alive" text pops up. In this case, halt the movie at approximately 00:04-00:05. If you're watching it in parts (which you shouldn't be, since that would be totally illegal *wink*) make sure you have the another sections queued up or are prepared to pause the audio to make the switch.

 
^^^THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE PAUSED AT!^^^   
 
I would also highly recommend watching it at a diminished volume; some parts were hard to hear. Apologies in advance!
 

05:59-01:21:22

The movie commentary! Enjoy

Post-movie thoughts and sign-off. He reloaded his arms, just sayin'. 

Select Podcast Cuts w/ bonbolapti

We attempted a podcast recording on Monday that unfortunately fell through. I say unfortunate because our last-minute replacement, bonbolapti, was one hell of a guy to converse with. Instead of letting certain bits go to waste, I've compiled three of them for your listening pleasure. Sorry for wasting a chunk of your evening, bon!

You've maxed out Podbean's free account bandwidth cap! While I would normally be upset this is now costing me money, this is a testament to the fact that people are actually listening to this thing! Thanks for your support!

Housekeeping and Miscellaneous

I was informed of a list compiled by VinceNotVance consisting of people interested in guest appearances for future episodes. Since Vince has not had time to disclose the contents of that list, we will be holding off guests until he gets back from his pseudo-hiatus. If you listened to this week's podcast, you may have noticed an abundance of long, silent areas. Maybe you'd love to do a movie commentary with us when the time is right?
 
We'll be on iTunes in two more episodes since Podbean is full of asswipes and won't let it happen until five episodes are uploaded. Episode I didn't count because it is under VinceNotVince's personal PodBean account. Please be patient, I know you all love your Apple-based music-playing software.
