Not as disturbing as “Blinky” but pretty close. Why the fuck are we pushing towards the singularity??? Anyhow, this is interesting tale of a robot who never heard the phrase “you can attract more bees with honey…” called ABE, written and directed by Rob McLellan. Check it out below. Now I need to smash my mac into a million pieces before it decides I don’t love it any more. Later!
Via Geek Tyrant; I very – really – just rolled out of bed, and it is still very tough to think, but I wanted to finish this post I had started last night about this niffty little, independently made, short film. Written and directed by (how come we never say “directed and written by…”?) Patrick Kalyn, Hybrids is the story of a mom getting revenge on alien scum. Just the sort of story we all want to see! Here’s the synopsis:
In the wake of an alien infestation, an ex-special forces soldier loses her daughter in alien attack. Seeking revenge, she leads a team on a mission deep into alien territory. Soon, she makes a discovery which makes her question her allegiance.
The short film is about eight minutes long and stars Daniella Evangelista. to me it kind of had a Terminator meets Total Recall meets Fire in the Sky like vibe. Pretty cool for 6:30 am!

Good morning El Moochadores! While looking for something creative and geeky to post about today I came across some really cool art work by Deviant artist; Weebasaurus! According to his blog Wee Lim (Weebasaurus) is also a junior animation artist. He has an inspiring set of original conceptions and fan art work on Deviant art, check out a small sample of his work below.
Here it is El Moochadores! Another highly anticipated episode of the Atomic Moocast! Okay, maybe none of that is true, but hey, it’s also very free and we all know there’s not a lot of that going around these days. This time around we’re visited by our fellow Brethern Moo: Sir Brandon Noel! Brandon is kicking off a new comic company and a series of Pulp stories and he wandered his way back onto our show to brag about it. Just before that though, Chudd and I wax on about The State of the Moo and various geeky news topics. So, lets all lean back, get comfy, and prepare for the best damn podcast to ever exist since Eli Whitney first invented the podcast in 1831! Okay, so none of that is true either. But what is true is this podcast is a hell of lot of fun and worth sharing with friends, relatives, and victims. So, here we go folks! Go grab that fizzy cold soda and flop down onto that oh-so comfy chair! Then all that’s left to do is cram your head phones into the side of your head and listen to the best damn podcast your friends don’t know about!
Enjoy!

Thank you very much to the guys over at Big Shiny Robot for posting about this! This is a small piece of mine and Chudd’s childhood that I had nearly forgotten about, but is now back thanks to the wonder of Youtube and some really awesome people wanting to put it up online!
Back in the 1980′s Star Wars was on everything, even cassette tapes. Oh… wait, for people born after 1995, Cassette tapes were small squares of plastic with spindles of magnetic tape inside of them that we would use to record sound on. They often sounded bad, got twirled up in the machine trying to play them, and were a great way of getting bootleg music off the radio! Even if when you played it back, the music recorded often sounded like a captured alien transmission from a galaxy far, far away… speaking of which! For kids in the 1980′s, story books were often sold with accompanying audio recordings of voice actors and narrators who would act out the story as the kid flipped the pages. Some of these stories were based on the Star Wars Comics put out by Marvel Comics at the time. Below are two of the stories. Remember, these stories are for very young children (often ignored by their parents and left for hours alone with dogeared old books and audio cassettes that nearly never worked… wait, where am I?) so don’t expect any great insights into the Star Wars universe. They are what they were, and Chudd and I loved them very much when we were kids!
It’s my day off!!! Which means I get to all the great Atomic Moo stuff I love to do like… Tell you about this amazing Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison trailer from Dark Horse comics! I didn’t know they did animated trailers for graphic novels, but after having watched this, and especially after having collected all Five issues of Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison, I’m glad to be sharing it with you! For me, Dark Horse Comics version of the expanded universe, is by far the best bit of Star Wars since The Empire Strikes Back and Ghost Prison is no exception. Brilliantly written by Haden Blackman and wonderfully illustrated by Agustin Alessio, Ghost Prison takes us back to a time before A New Hope when Palpatine’s Empire is still being established. Here’s the synopsis:
A traitorous uprising against the fledgling Galactic Empire leaves Emperor Palpatine close to death. Saving the Emperor—and the Empire—appears to be a lost cause . . . unless Vader can uncover the secrets of the Jedi Council and locate the mysterious “Ghost Prison.”
I love that all five issues of Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison are now going to be in a hardcover graphic novel. Now, if only we could get Dark Horse to expand on this promo and make a feature length animation in this style. Why not!? We can start the petition for it in the comments section of this post and I’ll be the tenacious (pissy?) nerd that keeps waving it in Dark Horses face until they get it made! We can do it! Who’s with me!?!
Via Geeks are Sexy; Ender’s Game is going to hit theaters next November and here to help fuel some excitement for the long (TOO LONG Mr. Card!) overdue sci-fi epic are four of the logos representing some of the armies at the orbital battle school!
We just love podcasting! So, we’re back with another episode of the grand (free), thought provoking (free), hilarious (free, free, free) Atomic Moocast! Recorded, for your listen holes on this Moocast, is our interview with model, cosplayer, actress, writer, and all around great geek girl: Margie Cox!!!
Just before the interview, Chudd and I discuss Russian pelting meteors, the State of the Moo, and poor, poor, Arzt. So brace your selves for another exciting audio adventure into the slick minds of Atomic Moo by: finding a frosty cool beverage, cushioning your selves on your favorite comfy chair, then hit play and let the best damn podcast your friends don’t know about roll into head!!!

Good afternoon El Moochadores! There’s a lot of cool stuff people have made out of LEGOS. Bat caves, Planet Hoth, but I didn’t see this one coming. LEGO artist, Matt De Lonoy had made the Fhloston Paradise fight scene from the 1997 hit sci-fi film Fifth Element. I don’t know why he made this, but he did and it looks pretty damn cool! Check out the pics below for the complete view!
Good evening El Moochadores! It’s been a few weeks but we’re back with a little less money, a few new bruises, and another episode of the Atomic Moocast! On this edition of the Atomic Moocast we talked with independent comic book creator, Kara Barrett! Kara has just finished a successful Kickstarter campaign for her new graphic novel; The Bargain! Check this out:
Twenty years ago Jackson signed his soul away to pay his mother’s gambling debt. Now his bill is coming due on New Year’s Eve. Peddling potions and mojos as a traveling salesman most of his life, Jackson understands a thing or two about magic. But salvation always eludes him. Louisiana is his last hope. Jackson’s hunt for a way to break the devil’s pact leads him to a haunted plantation in search of a crazy hoodoo slave ghost and then to the wild streets of 1955 New Orleans. With the assistance of an alluring creole healer named Lissette, can Jackson find a way to save himself before the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve?
Follow the link above back to Kara’s Kickstarter project and check out the niffty benefits you get for donating to her project!
Also on this episode; One of our past Brethren Moo returns! Buttery Wholesomeness is back and joins us for a State of the Moo before this shows interview! Buttery helps us discuss the finer points of 1912, Tarzan, and Kevin Smith!
So this is it El Moochadores! Now is the time to scour your fridge for snacks and cool fizzy sodas, then flop your extra large McButt into a comfy chair, and hit that button that will start the best damn podcast your friends don’t know about!
Enjoy!
