Do you remember the last costume you wore, or the last time you went out for Trick or Treat?

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 111 – Movie Trailer Trash

    Episode 111 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast starts with a conversation about landmark events in history, ignited by a bad joke. Suddenly, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay find themselves talking about how important coffee is in society, culture, and social gatherings. That naturally (?) progresses into the topic of how the public at large views surprises in pop culture today. We rail at movie studios for giving away too much of a movie’s plot in a trailer – but will we ever go see the film if they don’t do that? All of this and a lot MORE in Episode 111 of The Trampled Underfoot Podcast! We record LIVE every…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 110 – Ipswich Clams

    Episode 110 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast starts out as a mish-mash. First, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay revisit the theme of cartoons from the 60s predicting the future. Then Mark cleans up the mess he made last week when bringing up the SS Warrimoo – the ship that existed in two different centuries at the same time. Finally, Eloy puts Mark on the spot with 6 fairly easy questions, that took way, way too long to answer, and required entirely too much thought on Mark’s part. We had a few other side trips as well, and you can be sure there’s a lot of fun and humor along the…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – Episode 51 – Neighbors are Nosy and People are Oblivious

    In this day and age, YouTube celebrity stature can be thrust upon someone and it’s possibly more powerful than say, Hollywood famous. There are TV stars that wish they were internet famous like many of these people we know. We’re putting ourselves out there for public consumption… but are we well known? Mark Lindsay and Eloy Escagedo get into this topic, and share a few encounters with B movie actors that we know are famous by looking at them, but can’t really name them. We talk about these social media sites and question if they are manipulating us. Is everything a racket these days? We then get into a great…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 034 – Virtual Reality Meets Mae West

    “Who directed that virtual reality movie, Mark? Was it Steven Spielberg or George Lucas?” In this episode, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay discuss a 3D immersed movie called Ready Player One. Would you buy futuristic 3D goggles and suit to immerse yourself in a virtual 3D world? Would virtual reality be better than the real world? What if a universe was created with so much detail you could visit all the cultural sites around the world like castles or even space? What do you think? We talk about population growth and how do you feed so many people? Is it easier to support a handful of people as opposed Billions?…
