Rikki-Tikki-Deadly - February 20, 2017February 20, 2017

Good morning/afternoon! It's Monday and it's time for DFO Radio, so let's get this show on the...hey, where the hell's the road? DAMNIT, BROCK! It's another rainy day here in Los Angeles, which apparently means God is crying yet again. I guess he heard about what happened in Sweden. I hope everybody

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY A pair of radio professionals are standing outside the recording booth sipping coffee. CONNOR, THE INTERN: …but seriously, if there's anything here you actually care about, get it out of sight. PRODUCER: [picks up a gold-plated miniature Peabody Award replica and opens a desk drawer] CONNOR: …mmm, probably better if you

Happy Valentine's Day! My wife insists that this holiday is a ploy by BIG LOVE to make unattached people feel shitty. I disagree, I think it's a naked cash grab (jots down note for a movie script about a bank robber who pulls his jobs in the nude). Either way,

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – EVENING Open on an empty studio. The door opens and GARY KUBIAK and a PRODUCER step through, chatting happily. GARY KUBIAK takes a seat at the booth. PRODUCER: ...and I'll be in here with you for the interview segment, and then I'll head out to the other side of

This week's special edition of Request Line was intended to deliver some much-needed catharsis to those of us who witnessed the most inexplicable choke job in the history of the Super Bowl, and for myself I'm happy to say that it really did help. I haven't felt much of an

There's a British horror film called "My Little Eye" that I saw a bit of a ways back. It's not a particularly memorable film except that it used a lot of night vision effects and was one of Bradley Cooper's first film roles. The premise is that five people inhabit

INT. DFO PRODUCTION OFFICE - DAY. A pair of sleazy Hollywood producers emerge from an office. The camera follows them in a classic Sorkinesque walk-and-talk. RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: And so after the trailer bombed, Sony tried to push the narrative that everyone who said anything negative about the film was a misogynist... DARKEST TIMELINE ZACH MORRIS: A misogynist? RTD: A

This is it. The NFL season is upon us, with all its attendant joy, frustration, panic, and misery. And this is the final edition of Request Line until next year. Sure, if something truly special happens like Roger Goodell getting fired (out of a cannon, into the sun) we might slip

Just one more week before the regular season starts. I can't believe it's so close...I can practically taste it. Wait, no, that's last week's Request Line, when we took a double dip into the well of Eli, taking on the topic of "fruits". My own weekend was relatively fruit-free, since I

INT. GIANTS PRACTICE FACILITY - DAY We follow from over the shoulder of a tall, strong, confident young man as he strides through a hallway in the Giants practice facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey. He pauses in front of the door, then hammers both his palms into it, causing the
