TNE Speakeasy: Bonus #16 (A Bar-side chat with Jason and Caleb)

After a near return to full chronological status on the Speakeasy Bonus feed, Jason has shown up to throw another monkey wrench in the works! Or was it a banana peel?

Finally seeing the light of day, we reach the bonus chat Jason and Caleb had before they hopped on the train to Pilotsville to cover the 2014 pilot for The Flash. Isaac is absent for this one due to a run in with a swarm of angry MCU fans, so the two make due by discussing some more DC related topics, as well as a sorted array of other subjects. 'What are these mysterious other topics' you may ask? Well only one to find out! (Clue: it's hitting the play button)

TNE Speakeasy: Bonus #4 (Better Late Than Never!)

Reaching to the absolute bottom of the unreleased TNE archive, Bonus Episode 4 finally has seen it's chance in the sun! Dealing with a myriad of delays cascading upon the release of this episode, fair warning that this one is gonna feel a little quaint with how out of date it's become. But at last the non-chronological period of our Speakeasy shows is nearing it's end. So grab a drink or two, sit back and relax, and return with us to the humbler days of November 25th, 2020.

TNE Speakeasy: Bonus #13 (Chatting Some of Our Favorite Filmmakers ft. Eric)

Reaching back into the TNE archives, we flash back to some of the bonus material left over from our Wicker Man podcast. We discuss various filmmakers, including Stanley Kubrick, Ingmar Bergman, David Lynch and more, as well as branch back into some MCU talk, and a bit on surrealist film.

TNE Speakeasy: Bonus #11 (Kicking It Old School With Your Boys From The NE)

Isaac and Caleb head back to the bar to pick up on some old topics they hadn't discussed in awhile, such as the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy. But they also turn their eyes to some of their usual topics, including a now out of date discussion on the (then) upcoming release of Godzilla vs. Kong. Either way, it's just another fun day at the bar. So grab a drink or two, or some relaxing Jasmine tea, and catch up with your buds on the latest edition of! The Novice Elitists Speakeasy: Better Late Than Never.

TNE Speakeasy: Bonus #10 (The Book Club ft. Johnny)

The TNE boys return to the bar, and frequent guest Johnny has come along with them to change the focus of conversation for this week's episode. Moving the discussion away from our usual film/comic book talk, we changed gears and took a look at some of our favorite books. We cover a wide array of books/authors, and discuss the potential of a new series here at The Novice Elitists' headquarters. 

 

This episode was recorded on Jan. 31st, 2021.

TNE Speakeasy: Bonus #9 (Chatting DC & Marvel ft. Jason)

Continuing to pull some recordings from the TNE archives, we come to some of the pre-recorded material from our very first recording session with friend of the show Jason. In order to loosen up for our dive into Superman: In Brightest Day, the boys took a walk down the road to the TNE speakeasy, and tossed back a couple of drinks as they had a rousing discussion centered on the film and television iterations of The Big Two. It's a laid back kind of show, so come pop it on and settle in with your boys from the NE. 

P.S. You might notice a distinct absence of Mr. Caleb for most of the episode--Those pesky covid inspectors showed up again to make sure we were keeping to covid regulations. And he had to bribe them with booze to keep'em quie--uh, I mean, give them the grand tour to confirm that everything was done illegally--fuck! I meant legally! Jeez, better quit while I'm ahead.

TNE Speakeasy: Bonus #5 (A Trip Down Memory Lane via Lego Mags and Galidor)

Things are getting funky on the TNE feed timeline. Due to some mixed up release schedules, two of our past Speakeasy shows got lost in the shuffle and never saw the light of day--Until now! This episode was a jumble of two extended stingers that ended up being too long for their episodes, and have been collected here for your listening pleasure. The latter half of the show includes an impromptu commentary on the first episode of the series Galidor: Defenders of the Outer Dimension. (One you should definitely watch along with your hosts, as a lot of it is just watching the episode). Bonus episode 4 should be out next week, but until then, enjoy the show, and write in if you remember any of the shows we mention on our nostalgia jag.

 

This episode was recorded on two separate occasions--Dec. 13/Dec 16, 2020.

TNE Speakeasy: Bonus #8 (And Now For Something Completely Different ft. Aaron and Zach)

The boys from the NE return to the bar yet again, and once more they've brought some guests along with them! Our first ever guest Aaron marks his return to the show, and this time his brother Zach has come along as well. (Although due to unforeseen road fissures opening up along his commute, he doesn't show up until about 25 minutes into the show)

But unlike the normal Novice Elitists episodes, this time we waded away from our usual film/comic/video game talk, and instead turned our conversation more towards the philosophical. We discuss a bit about our thoughts on the afterlife, religion, and even some global politics. So if that kind of stuff is not to your fancy, stay tuned for our upcoming commentary on Godzilla (1998). But if you enjoy our usual content, why not come along for the ride and share a few drinks.

 

This conversation was recorded on Jan 8th, 2021.

TNE Speakeasy: Bonus #6 (The Star Wars TNE Special ft. Eric)

The Novice Elitists return with yet another non-chronological visit to the TNE Speakeasy. We're getting all out of wack over here, messing around with our Nolan-Brand podcasting device. But just because we're once again out of order, this doesn't mean you can't still have some fun with us, as the NE boys (and friend of the show Eric) sit down and chat about the things we usually like to chat about. Namely, Star Wars, various films across the board, as well as some behind the scenes peaks at your three hosts' history with podcasting. So hit that play button, settle in somewhere cozy, and enjoy the conversation with us.

 

This episode was filmed in front of a live bar-side audience on Dec. 18, 2020.

TNE Speakeasy: Bonus #7 (A Somber New Years Special with The Novice Elitists)

Hello ladies and gentlemen and all those in between, and welcome to the 7th episode of the TNE Speakeasy. You read that right folks, that's no typo. There are still 4 other speakeasy shows that have yet to find their way onto the feed. But because now is a special occasion, Bonus episode 7 could no longer wait for it's time in the sun, and has burst onto the scene early to fill you with some somber musings to end off a rather somber year. We chat a bit about Silent film--although mainly centered on The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, as well as take a look 100 years into the past, at the state of the world in 1920. It's a bit of a jumble, but if you have an hour to spare, why don't you come down to the bar, and we'll all raise a glass when the clock strikes 12, and head into the new year together.

So long 2020, good riddance, and please let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. 

 

This episode was recorded on Dec 23rd, 2020.
