This post is going out on the First of May. . . so, check out The P-Cast All-Stars performing Jonathan Coulton’s “First of May”, “We Are the World”/karaoke style.

“First of May” performed by the P-Cast Allstars for the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund.

Kudos to Paul Fischer for putting this together, props to Phil Rossi for a topnotch mix, and big ups to all of the performers.

OK, so I picked 4 of 8 first round series correctly. I was also off in all but one of my games-played predictions.

Let’s see how I do in the 2nd round:

Buffalo Sabres vs. New York Rangers (Sabres in 6)
New Jersey Devils vs. Ottawa Senators (Senators in 6) Go Devils! Prove me wrong!
Anaheim Ducks vs. Vancouver Canucks (Ducks in 7)
Detroit Red Wings vs. San Jose Sharks (Sharks in 7)

. . . will be ready in the A.M. Sorry.

The NHL Playoffs start tonight!

Joe Murphy Tribute show.

The guys and girls recorded a show to honor and pay tribute to Joe Murphy. I wish I’d been there. This show has gone out through a *LOT* of Far Point Media feeds, so I think I’m just going to post a link here. Please, PLEASE let me know if you want this to go out to your Deadpan podcatcher subscription too.

There will still be a Deadpan #53 release on Wednesday, April 4.
However.
I’m pushing “Zardozapalooza” and all other listener-contributed content back to episode #54. And the Greasy Jelly Bean game is canceled for this week.

Zardoz.

What the hell is a Zardoz? After directing the film, “Deliverance”, auteur John Boorman had apparently not had enough of men in their undies. . . . And so, his next project was “Zardoz”, which I’m told is a trippy, bizarre, early 70s, pre-Star Wars Sci-Fi movie about post-Bond Sean Connery in a red diaper. . . and um, there’s something with a giant stone head, like in Space Harrier? I’ve never seen it. This is all I know of the film, and this is all I want to know – – until I have the full-on DVD experience. You see, I’ve been hearing about this movie for months now, from a wide array of sources. I’ve finally given in to fate’s hand-held glowcones and placed it at #1 in my Netflix queue. Scheduled to arrive Wednesday, March 7th.

A number of Deadpanites have also pledged to take the “Zardoz” plunge. After we’ve all watched, we may discuss it onpod. We may discuss it on the Deadpan comments page. Or we may be too stunned and traumatized to discuss it at all. I don’t know yet.
So — are you in? Call your local Blockbuster. Update your Netflix queue. Join us.

It is my goal to one-day use “Zardoz” legally in a game of Scrabble.

(WARNING: from all accounts, this movie may elicit groans from your movie-watching partner).
