What happens when two young men let their love of movies, comic books, and all things “geek” take over their lives? They run away from their families, bringing only the most essential DVDs and comics to their secret, highly fortified underground bunker in sunny Southern California, where they start recording podcasts that will change the world.
Are they heroes?
No.
Are they geniuses?
Far from it.
Are they the future of this planet?
I sure hope not.
Simply put… Matt Cohen and Jesse Rivers are “Bagged and Boarded”.
BAGGED & BOARDED #1: Race Relations – In which Matt and Jesse introduce themselves to the world, discuss the sensitive subject of race (very sensitively), and chat about Ghostbusters 3, the Academy Awards, childhood fears, and Native Americans. Oh, it’s about to get real…

Awesome first podcast guys. Look forward to hearing more. I too have a high affinity for Ghostbusters and the Ninja Turtles, but as far as the Judd Apatow crew coming on board for the third one, I think that would take fans of the originals out of the movie a little bit. Rogen could be one of the new ones, sure, but he’d have to play a character and not himself for it to work for me. And it might be too much too soon for Rogen, but I think if he changes it up a bit it could work. The Office writers who were hired to write the next Ghostbusters (Lee Isenberg and Gene Stupnitsky) might go a different way than the Apatow crew, but lets see what happens, the movie’s a long ways away. Good stuff guys. See you next podcast.

Good Podcast.
I agree with Jesse: No country for Old men was better than There will be blood. The Joker was great, but was also entertaining in a twisted sense. The thing that bugged me was the PG rating. No blood anywhere when people have pencils shoved into their eyes, throats cut, and shot in the gut and supposedly bleeding out on the floor of a bank. Not to mention that the Mob bosses didn’t cuss and sounded like pussies. Should have been PG-13 at least, with blood to fit the dark nature of the film.
Good stuff! I will be back for the next one.

Oh man. First ep, I feel like I’ve become part of something huge…

Fun stuff. As a pseudo-comic book fan, with very limited knowledge, it’s fun to hear to geeks gab, who know their shit.
I am, however, suspicious of the self-implemented “film buff” tag. First of all, Citizen Kane fuckin’ rocks. But that doesn’t make it the “greatest film of all time” There were a lot of amazing movies that get no recognition outside of the inner-film-community. For instance, Welles’ Lady from Shanghai is arguably a better movie than Kane. There’s just this AFI-propaganda, and people assume there were, like, 5 movies from back in the day. Also, Check out two french movies: The Rules of the Game, and Children of Paradise. Both amazing. Arguably better than Kane. One minor note though: No guns or dinosaurs!
Anyway, great show, looking forward to next week.

To richard…
I enjoy “Lady from Shanghai” very much. The last scene is amazing. “Rules of the Game” is also a great film, but we were talking more of general consensus. Have yet to see “Children of Paradise.”
Stay tuneddeveryone. This is just the beginning.

I checked “Lady from Shanghai” on IMDB.
NOWHERE in the cast does it say:
Uzi Wielding Velociraptor # 1
Whole thing sounds questionable if you ask me.

Hulk fought the rain in the comics once as well.
Rocketeer is the greatest comic book movie ever.

Matt, you won’t be punking me when we’re forty, man.

Yet again Quick Stop Entertainment cranks out another good podcast. I know I will listen always
September 15th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Dear Sirs,
The fact that you know anything of the jars I leave out as decorum when I have house guests is NONE of your concern! Much less is it to inform all potential friends and nemesis there in of the fact that if there are NO JARS when they visit, then our friendship is probably either a sham or purely of convenience. Thanks guys, thanks a lot…
Forced to seek an alternative “jar”, Patrick

I have to say sirs, take what you will from this. I really fuckin’ dig the fact that Jesse is Native. My Fiance (Native American) is quite psyched to hear me listen to a hilarious podcast from the fine folks at Quickstop with…a…wait…NATIVE AMERICAN! In full head dress, no less. The fact that you would not only entertain the idea of doing a podcast knowing this nations past relations regarding the first Americans and podcasts but with a Jew…with a bag of money as a necklace!? Progressive podcast. You should change the name to progcast. Yes, now. My stipend sirs. Seriously though, wonderful first show, dedicated new listener!

That was cool.
I don’t have any friends that share my not so secret inner geek, so it was cool hearing some other guys talk about stuff I’m into.
Ninja Turtles, loved the original graphic novels by Eastman and Laird, and the first movie was awesome, but I have little love for the sequels.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:35 am
Good job guys. I think a little was contrived, but I’m sure that as you get into the podcasting thing more it’ll come more naturally. I also have to chime in with the other comments mentioning that, as a less than interested comic book person, your chatter still interested me and was a fun listen.
Keep it up!
September 17th, 2008 at 3:41 am
awesome podcast…altho the whole racist stuff was getting old.
good work guys!!
September 17th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
i’m fuckin ready for the new ghostbusters movie! i sware to god hollywood better not fuck this one up and write another piece of shit.
September 30th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
I loved this podcast all the way up to the moment he insulted “A Scanner Darkly” then I lost what little respect I had begun to have for these guys. I just don’t understand how you could like Waking Life but not A Scanner Darkly. WTF
March 7th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
Wow… somebody told me about this. Keep up the hard work JJ!!! It was just like break time at Educators listening to you talk… LOL

Always saw this pop up but I started listening after hearing Matt in Mewscast. Now I’m addicted, damn this back catalogue!
Nice one, peace
