Episode 30: Lord of the Feebles

Peter Jackson!

This week we return you to your regularly scheduled programming as Faults in the Vaults heads deep into Middle Earth in order to cast The Lord of Rings trilogy back into the fires of Mt. Doom in order to bring awareness to the sheer madness of Meet the Feebles (1989).

Josh details a brief history of ABC's underappreciated sketch comedy show, Fridays in This Week in Torrents. Diggin' Up the Docs presents West of Memphis (2012) - the acclaimed Amy Berg directed/Peter Jackson produced chronicle of the West Memphis Three's wrongful incarceration and eventful release from prison.

Mitch goes Slipping Through the Tracks to bring attention to Miles Davis' innovative jazz score for Louis Malle's 1958 French film noir, Elevator to the Gallows. Also in this episode, more Raleigh Soapery gospel, talk of Son of Monsterpalooza and the promise of free merch as well as the continuation of the Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Brooding statue giveaway contest!

Episode 9: Running Crank

We welcome Mr. John Noble (Fringe, LotR, Elementary), a true class act and one of the best damn character actors around, wherein he talks the differences between stage and screen, getting a late start in Hollywood, and working with the late Paul Walker on the set of Running Scared.

Faults in the Vaults takes a hard look at two adrenaline-fueled, race-against-time, crime action-ers, both coincidentally from the year 2006. If you haven't guessed, we're deeming the Jason Statham vehicle, Crank to be D.O.A. and then going on the hunt to sniff out what's got Paul Walker Running Scared.

The Mailbag is opened once again, this time to field a listener question about favorite 3D animated feature films and we argue on the state of cosplay in The Soapbox Rant.

In This Week in Torrents, Josh extols the virtues and green lessons taught by the old Toxic Crusaders cartoon, which is sadly no longer available for direct purchase. Slipping Through the Tracks has Mitch highlighting a memorable soundtrack from a less than memorable movie, Judgment Night (1993), which showcased an oddball fusion of Rap & Rock acts from the time (such as Slayer/Ice T and Dinosaur Jr./Del The Funky Homosapien) that somehow managed to become a must own album from the decade.

Plus, a Raleigh Soapery GIVEAWAY is announced!!!
