Cavebabble Episode 40: Movie Monster Smackdown- The Strong

Tonight, we bring fifteen movie creatures to the ring for five rounds of monster mayhem. Three monsters enter. One monster leaves. Welcome to Monsterdome. This episode is brought to you by Scales 'n Tales.

Mascot Smackdown: Toucan Sam

This colorful combatant always knows where to find a good fight, and brings a rainbow of pain with him. It's Toucan Sam!

Weapons: Beak, Talons, hands

Special Power: Super Sniff- Using his incredible sense of smell, Sam is able to sense his opponent's next move, and be ready with a swift counter attack.

Back, but not At It

We have returned! Our second whirlwind trip to South Carolina has ended, and we survived. Barely. By the skin of our teeth. Which is saying something, because normally I don't have any skin on my teeth. Unless I've bitten someone. The Cavebabble cast will return next week for Episode 40, during which I promise to say "actually" 1.5 million times.

Mascot Smackdown: Energizer Bunny

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1989, this pink pugilist fights to the beat of his own drum. His conditioning is legendary. He never gives up. He always keeps going! It's the Energizer Bunny!

Weapons: Huge feet, drum mallets

Special Power: Lepus Leap- When trapped in a corner, the Energizer Bunny taps the power of a secondary battery source, temporarily giving him enough power to leap over the heads of opponents, and out of harm's way.

Cavebabble Episode 39: Road Tripping

Alone at the wheel of our podcast car this week, I share recordings from our whirlwind drive to South Carolina, as well as three favorite road trip films. You're welcome to hop in, but remember- no back seat driving. This episode is brought to you by Skunk & Numbutt.

The Whirlwind

The Cavebabblers have a whirlwind road trip to South Carolina this weekend, so this week's podcast is up in the air. I may have energy to post something on Monday. I'm taking along a recorder for the road. Could be interesting...

Cavebabble Episode 38: Time Warp 1999

Set the dial to 1999, and travel back a decade in our time machine. It was a great year for film, and each of us has chosen two favorites to champion. Back in our own time, we also preview a handful of upcoming releases. Join us! This week's episode is brought to you by Feeling Old.

Mascot Smackdown: Klondike Polar Bear

From the frozen lands of the North comes a flash of fur, claws and teeth. Attacking without mercy, it's the Klondike Polar Bear!

Weapons: Claws, teeth, muffler

Special Power: Mufflation- Distracted by huge claws and teeth, opponents are completely taken by surprise by the bear's muffler, which is thrown around their necks, and tightened until they gag for mercy.

Mascot Smackdown: Buzz

This tiny pugilist began mastering the sweet science in 1979. He may be small, but he still has plenty of sting. It's Buzz, the Honey Nut Bee!

Weapons: Stinger

Special Power: Pseudo-Streaker- Although bees don't wear clothing, Buzz dons a shirt in order to appear naked from the waist down. Opponents avert their gazes, leaving them momentarily vulnerable to a quick sting.*

*Effective only on prudish opponents.

Cavebabble Episode 37: Predators

Predators are on the hunt, and we just may lose our skulls! Tonight, we discuss the Predator films, including the two with acid-blooded enemies. Remember, they won't kill you if you aren't armed. Right? This episode is brought to you by Glowing Blood.
