Does This Come In Chromium?: Halloween #1 with Bobby Trippett

(PJ Soles voice) “Hear anything you like?” Well, you will when you listen to @bobbytrippett.bsky.social and I discuss my love of the HALLOWEEN film franchise… …and also some comic that was published in the year 2000 by Chaos Comics called HALLOWEEN #1. sites.libsyn.com/601360/site/...

Last night during the recording of a very special episode of Does This Come in Chromium I asked the profound question, “Isn’t every movie ever made just DARK CITY?” Think about it.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! And you are very correct, @bobbytrippett.bsky.social is a great guest who is also incredibly patient with me and my long rambles.

If you don’t read this full episode description then HE will come home…to your house. Then you’ll have Michael Myers as a houseguest. And you know it’ll only be a matter of time before Loomis shows up and insists upon crashing on your couch.

Cover of HALLOWEEN #1 alongside the full episode description:

On this episode Matt and the man responsible for teaching Michael Myers to drive, Bobby Trippett (co-host of the GRINDBIN PODCAST) hide in some bushes and yell at that little jerk Lonnie to get his ass away from the show so they can discuss 2000's HALLOWEEN #1.

This is a comic based on Matt's all-time favorite movie, which means Bobby is as good as confined to Smith's Grove Sanitarium, forced to listen to near endless rantings of a lunatic, "Bobby, I watched the movie SIX TIMES (today)!"

Bobby displays the patience of a man who is staring at a wall, not seeing the wall, looking past the wall to a time when Matt has finished attempting to create a verbal visual aid to help listeners better understand the different Halloween timelines. It goes about as well as one would expect from Matt.

Also, both Matt and Bobby dip their toes into the world of fan fiction as they repeatedly speculate on the private life of Dr. Sam Loomis. The man worked (not at all) hard and he played (probably golf) hard.

This is exactly why I’m so happy to have convinced Glitch to join BlueSky.

Admit it Glitch, in some way you’re a lot like me. You’re just a prisoner and you’re trying to break free.

Worth noting: the reason I’m listening to this song so much is because I just watched the GENERATION X tv movie from 1996. You might think these two things are totally unrelated, but like life, my brain finds a way.

I don’t think I possess the level of self-confidence that would be necessary for me to honestly disclose how many times I’ve listened to, “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” by John Parr so far today (and it’s not even noon).

The longer I stare at the center the more it looks like an advertisement for JASON X. Look, I can’t explain why my brain works like this. It just does.

I really want to know what the fuck is going on behind closed doors at Lakeside Bank.

This modern 30 second Lakeside Bank commercial that has been inserted into episodes of The Adventures of the Falcon old time radio show is somehow even more off putting and sexist than the show from 1951. And in this episode our hero threatens to punch a woman.

Batman won’t rest until Lou Bega has been brought to justice.

Every boardroom filled with evil old white dudes sitting at a table (sometimes with Dr. Claw at the head) wishes they had come up with “Autowarcom”.

Deciding to call it “Super Intelligence” instead of “Artificial Intelligence” feels like the move the unhinged scientist makes in 1950’s sci-fi movies, declaring that, against all evidence, we can learn from the invaders. Only to then be brutally attacked and discarded by them.

Finally watched BACKROOMS. It was interesting. Although I can’t shake the feeling that it was just the “Boogieman Cometh” episode of THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS, but the Ghostbusters were too busy on another case to help Clark.

Matt: You're going to be hearing this episode soon...I mean literally if you're listening to this episode you're just hearing it now.... Bobby: UNBELIEVABLY soon. Matt: I think I just created a weird time paradox that I'm going to struggle with understanding.

Does This Come In Chromium?: Generation X #1 with Bobby Trippett

Oh snap! The totally righteous and fresh new episode of Does This Come in Chromium is out now! Puh-lease listen as @bobbytrippett.bsky.social and I turn our chairs backwards and gab about 1994’s GENERATION X #1! It’s hella gnarly and not at all wack! sites.libsyn.com/601360/site/...

I was imagining an alternate version of HALLOWEEN where Cary Grant is playing Dr. Loomis and now I kind of want that movie to exist.

Bobby: Depending on how the responses go, I may or may not beat Matt Anderson with a crowbar. Matt: Well, I kinda figured that was going to happen eventually... Bobby: I already bought the crowbar. Matt: ...but I needed to find the podcast equivalent of sweeps week...I'm not above a gimmick.

I posit on the episode that every X-Men fan has a couple of lower-tier mutants that they absolutely ride for. Who are yours?

Generation X #1 is the first issue that comes to mind when I think "chromium cover".

Bobby 1000% showed up to high school on at least one day looking EXACTLY like this.

I don’t know if Havok counts as “lower-tier” but he’s definitely my answer. I’m curious to see what other names are going to come up in Bobby’s replies 👇
