Like Will Smith and Barry Sonnenfeld themselves, Justin and Mr. Andy Napier (SoWeWereTold.com) are collaborating to tell the story of the MIB. A knight of Columbus, Andy’s “case study” from his live attendance of Money in the Bank is mostly a pretense for the two to investigate s04e01 of Total Divas at great length. Also: Nationwide planning Big Show’s retirement, NXT season fivers cash in their redemption points, and we pick out a nice card to send to John Cena. From autumn to Summer, a show so check it out.

JUSTIN SHAPIRSHOW Episode 15 – Jumping Bomb Angles

On this episode of the thing, Alan Counihan (F4W, DKP) and Todd Martin (PWT, TBD) convene with J. Shapiro to cast a pod no different than and completely the same as any other they’ve done previously. In light of Samoa Joe’s appearance on NXT and only that, they discuss their favorite promotional jumps PART ONE, covering an assortment of Rics, Ricks, and Rickys from 1988 to 1995 as they depart, defect, debut, and delight from hither to thither, Crockett to Vince, Atlanta to Stamford, and vices versa. Then, as a bonus, Todd closes the book on the pages and the text with Wrestling Observor: The Lost Levols, the missing/final(?) edition of this popular feature recapping the Observer newsletter through the lense of the fall of the Berlin Wall. If you want to be a star in this business, you have to go to New York and you have to download and listen to this mp3. A show so check it out.

Note: Comprehensible version of the episode begins in earnest at 14:55.

May the 19th be with you! That’s right, our annual May 19th Shapir supershow is happening again. Senior correspondent Albert Ching (ComicBookResources.com) guests to discuss not just the history but the deeper significance of this date. Included under that thematic umbrella are: the twisted & disturbed life of Kane, Kane now being a demon from hell in relation to the Sartre quote “hell is other people,” dead crowds in contrast to Al’s live Wrestlemania week experience, some attempted devil’s advocacy for a few of WWE’s demonized divas, and a discussion of a couple of this year’s summer blockbusters released on or around May 19th and what they portend for Daredevil’s prospective team-up with Batista.

JUSTIN SHAPIRSHOW EPISODE 5: The Biggest Parody of the Summer

“California…” – John McClane, Die Hard

In his record-breaking 4th appearance on the Sha’show, “Mr. PPV” Matt Feuerstein has truly done it again, attending SummerSlam 2013 with Los Angeles angel of Anaheim Albert Ching (the prodigal son of thecubsfan.com returns!). Intrepid host Justin Shapiro tries to get them to admit they’re lying about the whole thing through a series of rigorous questions. From ring of fire to Ring of Honor, stuff that occurred at SummerSlam is talked about. They assess the company’s astonishing new landscape, and Albert identifies the overlooked WWE bigwig most single-handedly responsible for their changes in philosophy. Plus, and this is the God’s honest truth, the debut of Matt’s brand new comedy single. A show so check it out.

Let’s Just Chat 1: Arrested Development

[powerpress]

Spinoff of a spinoff! For some reason, Matt Feuerstein now has a podcast. For some reason, it’s called “Let’s Just Chat.” For very good reasons, he got popular Skype user Justin Shapiro, and Newsarama.com Staff Writer (as well as all-around internet champion) Albert Ching to join him for an in-depth discussion of Arrested Development. From the GENESIS of the show to the NEO GEO of the show, they peel back the layers to reveal its completely inedible core. Sometimes they even mix their fruit and vegetable metaphors. The gang asks the critics of the 4th season, “how would you like it if we came down on you, hard?” There are probably some fairly minor technical glitches (it’s a first-time recording, people!) They’re not too bad. Sorry about that. A much-too-long show, so check it out!
