"One Last Trick?"

BRETT, AUDRA & GORDIE are finished with the podcast, but have become friends even though the whole thing was just a joke!

This episode has it all. Impressions, singing, fencing, backwards aura control, THREE'S COMPANY, THE OMEGA MAN, FRIENDS, blooper reels, good deaths, rhyming, RICK BAKER, EXCALIBUR (..duh), sequels and the episode finishes with the origin of COUNT FINK!

Thanks to all for listening and spread the ZARDOZ word everywhere you go!

AUDRA, BRETT and GORDIE are trapped in a crystal, yet seem to be able to stay inside ZED's aura. Audra wonders if BRETT is okay while welcoming back ARTHUR/ZARDOZ/ NIALL BUGGY as he chews up the theater and does magic tricks. Lots of JAMES BOND talk, tabernacle acting, Isadora Duncan, Comic book ads, philosophical babble, Crystal radios and cardboard submarines, as we head toward the final episode next week.

GORDIE, AUDRA and BRETT are just trying to figure out their own complexities, while ZARDOZ in' around.

We start off with lots of TOPPS trading card talk (...who saw that comin?) notice that things are getting weird, discuss what droplets of macho are, practical effects, BOND opening credits, real sci-fi and stained glass from the seventies. ENJOY the show!

GORDIE, AUDRA and BRETT are learning to read, just like ZED!

GORDIE is really tired after working a long day, but BRETT and AUDRA  are here to pick up the slack. Gordie knows art, Audra tosses out more gnostic concepts and Brett doesn't have a joke prepared, but comes through with the hilarity eventually.

GORDIE, AUDRA and BRETT are deep in the middle of ZED time! 

We start out being nostalgic of 70s Italian restaurants, mad scientists, RENEGADES, SECOND LEVEL MEDITATION, gratitude that we're not covering this MINUTE BY MINUTE, mid-western PROG, more VORTEX TRAVELOGUE, ZED PANTOMIME, FRIEND's sentence and the cliff-hanger ending of this 12 minutes.

GORDIE, BRETT and AUDRA are back this week, but will not meditate at level 2.  MONSTER learns about the VORTEX penal system, meets THE RENEGADES and THE APATHETICS, who get tossed around in The VORTEX PUB, more trials and guess what? we talk about EXCALIBUR.  BRETT begins the VORTEX TOUR TRAVELOGUE and GORDIE continues to drop in the best song clips ever and we get deep, deep into the philosophy that surrounds ZARDOZ.

Thanks again for joining us!

GORDIE, BRETT and AUDRA are spending time in the TABERNACLE and wandering around THE VORTEX for Episode 3!

ZED/MONSTER/IT is treated like livestock, we get to know FRIEND, while everyone else gestures and votes, have some lunch and literally break bread, attend trials via SIRI, jump into mirror pyramids and so much more. Enjoy all that the Vortex has to offer.

GORDIE, BRETT and AUDRA are back in The Vortex for Episode 2 and the next 12 minutes of ZARDOZ!

We check out Arthur Freynd's bohemian apartment, the invention of SIRI, start seeing what The Vortex is all about, Immortals, casual nudity, the English Countryside, EXCALIBUR, Freckles, mind-probe exposition and oh so much more!

Thanks for listening!

GORDIE ADAMS hosts his own take on the MOVIES BY MINUTE movement, but instead of breaking down JOHN BOORMAN'S ZARDOZ, one minute at a time, he and his co-hosts BRETT STILLO and AUDRA WOLFMAN break it down a dozen minutes at a time, while getting to know each other through the beauty of podcasting.

If you already know ZARDOZ, you're ready and willing. If not, watch it, join us and judge for yourself how awesome, absurd and iconic this great film from 1974 is still worth watching.

THEA GILIEN is back to the Gordcast for a re-vamped and fun filled conversation during the pandemic. Gordie gets the scoop and how and what made THE POLICE her band of choice as a teenager, pizza, and her own podcast THE PODCAST REVIEW SHOW, along with tons more!

GORDIE finally chats with MATT BURDEN from London-esque England!  After being nerd friends since 2011, we get to know each other and figure out why we are who we are. This is a good loooooong one.

LOTS of comic book talk for the first hour and then we move on to Film, hockey, the G-word, wrestling, meeting comic book heroes, wearing baseball caps, touring the seaside, BRUCE DICKINSON, IRON MAIDEN, PITTSBURGH PENGUINS, BOSTON BRUINS, ELEVEN O'CLOCK COMICS, AROUND COMICS, JUDGE DREDD, Watchmen Guy, ALAN WAGNER, BRIAN BOLLAND, DOCTOR WHO and sooooo much more.

TOM BELAND returns to the GORDCAST for a tribute and entertaining stories of STAN LEE, his legacy, what he means to all of us and how we're all connected.

LOTS of comic book talk, lots of tangents and lots of segues.

Alright you KISS geeks, you. In this episode we do a song-by-song review of the KISS Unmasked LP!  

We here at Gordcast Corporate Studios have been working behind the scenes to bring you some brand new content. Recently we started a YouTube channel where we will be posting video episodes but fear not you audio fans, we will be posting those episodes here as well so you can listen without having to deal with all that pesky video nonsense.

Lost a newish friend, so I got together with another friend to talk of his life and his passing.

We  head down many streets both literally and figuratively, as Gordie returns from Chicago and C2E2.

Gordie has a great time, considering. Paul does indeed meet THE SHAGGS and his new album is out.

RADIOHEAD, DICK CLARK, MR. McFEELEY, VINCE B, MIKE NORTON, SKOTTIE YOUNG, JOE KUBERT AND HELL-RIDER all show up.

This episode, Paul is reading Please Kill Me by NY punk, LEGS MCNEIL and Gordie gets ready for C2E2.

Gordie and Paul finally get around to hundreds of topics, including: The new VAN HALEN and their recent show at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN and the bulk of the episode is about our dear, departed mentor - Harlan Briedenbach. Harlan was the owner of LOONEY TUNES records, the legendary used record store in NAPA, who brought counter-culture and musical awareness in the seventies. Paul goes to RANDEMONIUM and the MUSEUM OF MOVING IMAGE in NY and Gordie recommends BEING ELMO and reveals his new favorite LP ever.

Paul and Gordie celebrate Boxing Day the old fashioned way, with fifths of scotch and Christmas stories aplenty.

Paul receives many unexpected packages and Gordie gets a great package from the EOC Holiday Exchange, filled with the smell of old comics and autographs. Gordie has found a new vocabulary hiccup and talks PROG.

JETHRO TULL, ELTON JOHN, ROB ZOMBIE, JOHN LENNON and DIMEBAG DARRELL all show up too. Gordie checks out the temporary ice rink in downtown Napa and gives a postal update. The real gem of the night is talking about THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL from 1978, after being reminded of it from the EOC SKYPE N' DRAW night. (Featuring an excerpt from that conversation)

We close out with feelings of this time of year and unfortunately, black Friday madness.

NATHAN ALFARO joins Paul and Gordie for a three coast meet up. We begin with the weather, a GORDCAST opening songs re-cap and head onto music matters. REM, PRINCE, BWANA DEVILS and the never before told story of an unreported MONKEES reunion at PAUL WILLIAMS house. Nathan goes sailing and we mull over the VAN HALEN reunion, BLACK SABBATH O.G. style and how cool PETER BUCK is. We cap it off with some movie talk and pledge to do more Gordcasts.

An impromptu Gordcast rises from a sound check run through. Paul works with Photoshop and Gordie likes Curves, leading to learning riffs with KISS, from the Destroyer sessions. Gordie sends cryptic texts to Paul, which leads to not watching a documentary and much talk of Record Stores and how Comic Shops also leave you feeling pleasant. ABSOLUTELY SANE JOHNS, LOONEY TOONS, THE SMALL FACES, BEATLES COMIC BOOKS, TRAGEDY, LEO SLAYER, XANADUDES AND R.E.M. are all covered. Gordie explains the howthe POST OFFICE works around the holidays and Paul plans Thanksgiving.

Gordie is on meds from having a tooth pulled and Paul meets ACE FREHLEY and gives a Halloween update. Gordie listens to Rap music at WALKER RYANS PRO PARTY and gives glaring omissions from the DEBUT ALBUM episode. Naked people, MARILLION, ENGLEBERT HUMPERDINK, TOM JONES, JEFF BECK, BECK, OASIS, ROCKPILE, DAVE EDMUNDS, NICK LOWE, BRIAN WILSON, SPOTIFY and BIG COUNTRY come up.

Gordie and Paul talk about the occupy Wall Street revolution and HALLOWEEN! PHIL COSTELLO punches a guy, Paul gets claustrophobic in the crowd and defends JOHN COUGAR MELLEN-BLARP. We discuss ROGER DALTREY touring TOMMY live, take a few detours and settle in on HALLOWEEN memories and some of our costumes over the years. Gordie likes WONDERFUL WEBLOG (http://wonderfulwonderblog.blogspot.com) and gets his candy stolen. They both saw VAN HALEN when BTO opened for them, Paul has a job and Gordie sings a little.
