Fists of fury! Flying objects of razor-edged lethality! Special guest (bump) stars! That's right. It's the first new GUT SHOTS of 2010.
In this episode Matt runs down his yearly hit list, including the old white tribal leaders commonly known as CEO's and smart phones, a.k.a. anti-life accessories. Matt also rededicates himself to warning humanity of its future internment in the Google death camps, and tries to reconcile popular usage with simple addition.
Also, shifting gears from his usual verbal and cut-away graphics assault, Matt delivers a gentle tribute to the enduring talent and wisdom of a fallen author, and makes a not-so-gentle plea for your continued attention and remembrance for a lot of other unfortunate souls who can still benefit from both.
And don't forget the GUT SHOTS CALL-IN LINE is currently open. Hit us up at (830) 488-7468 to leave your own rant, and if it's got enough verve you could see it on the next episode.

It's your first salvo of December GUT SHOTS here on KILL (the) FEED. In the spirit of seasonal reflection Matt touches on everything from nostalgia to entropy to hope in this week's installment. Topics covered include the skewed allocation of our news media resources, the continuing breakdown of network television programming, and a plea to the World Intellectual Property Organization to make the written works of people like Matt (and those with vastly more talent, of course) more accessible to the blind and disabled. Because Stevie Wonder has been hounding Matt relentlessly for a Braille copy of THE NEXT FIX for months, and the boss is sick of having to tiptoe everywhere in hospital slippers.
We are also debuting a new feature here on KILL (the) FEED. For the first time ever Matt is not only interested in your feedback, he's providing an open forum for it. That's right. It's the GUT SHOTS CALL-IN LINE. It's your turn to rant and rave just like our resident malcontent. Dial (830) GUT-SHOT to leave a comment, ask a question, or, more importantly, go off on any topic you feel needs a good verbal blasting, Matt-style. If your auditory offering makes the cut, you could find it receiving the trademark GUT SHOTS graphic treatment when it is featured on a future episode.
That number again is (830) 488-7468. Make it loud, make it rude, make it offensive, make it a GUT SHOT.
Show Notes:
Writers Open Letter in Support of WIPO treaty for People who are Blind or have other Disabilities

It's been a time of chaos here at Matt-Wallace.com these past few weeks. Swine flu (yes, the genuine article) razed the walls of our digital fortress and felled our leader, your humble narrator himself. It has had a profound affect on Matt's output and your podcatchers, and for that we apologize. Rest assured KILL (the) FEED is back on-line and operating at full battle readiness. Matt has vowed to get his shit together and set a definitive weekly schedule for all of this largely pointless but shiny content, starting now.
In the long-awaited second edition of GUT SHOTS, Matt performs a verbal drive-by on several topical neighborhoods, including Motorola's newly-released Droid smartphone (and the self-fulfilling prophecy of the machine uprising to come) and the potential fall from grace of ALIEN/S alums Ridley Scott and James Cameron. Matt also shamelessly plugs the new issue of UK-based fiction and comics magazine MURKY DEPTHS, featuring his newest column, "Pussy Control" (it's an intense intellectual study of female typecasting. Seriously).
The issue is on stands now.

It's the debut of GUT SHOTS here at Matt-Wallace.com and on KILL (the) FEED. Featuring short, controlled bursts aimed at enemies of everything from arts and entertainment to every conceivable form of media. Fans of the regular GUT CHECK segment on Matt's Weekly Video Address will recognize the same verve/venom as he blitzes multiple topics in a totally new weekly podcast. Because there's just too much bullshit to choose a single topic from each week. And because Matt's just too damn busy to lay down more than five minutes of essayist video in any seven day cycle.
In the series premiere of GUT SHOTS: Matt riffs on the demographics of social networking in what has apparently become Jim Crow's internet, explains why Google should play the Tetsuo Mass in the American remake of AKIRA, and runs down how Hollywood studios are getting it wrong while video game marketing firms are getting it right for all the wrong reasons. Finally, Matt covers earthquake kit essentials with a gold shuriken recommendation for J.C. Hutchins' forthcoming novel 7th SON: DESCENT, dropping nationwide October 27th (and yes, the vintage "Little Americans" poster is diabolically subliminal).
Also, check out Matt's blog each week for an expanded essay on one of the above rants. Your comments will be used to judge your worth and ethereal future in the afterlife.

In his sixteenth Weekly Video Address, Matt hits the road with New York Times best-selling author and TITLE FIGHT collaborator Scott Sigler for several stops on Scott's twenty-city ROOKIE TAILGATE TOUR. The two literary madmen met fans in Nashville, Tennessee and Indianapolis, Indiana for the drinking of beer, the signing of books, the answering of questions, and the [CENSORED] of [CENSORED] by [CENSORED] with [CENSORED] raspberry strudel. Along the way the pair also recorded a joint GUT CHECK concerning the fleeting nature of time and the timeless nature of the road (or something similarly profound).
Warning: Quantum Leap reference lurking within.

In his fifteenth Weekly Video Address Matt breaks us off a production update on MATT WALLACE'S WITCH/HUNTER, the phantasmagorically genre-busting multi-media webseries coming to KILL (the) FEED this December.

Also, Matt picks up where he left off in his last GUT CHECK by throwing Microsoft back into the current world-wide web domination mix with his own special brand of dissection of Bing.com, Microsoft's newest and shiniest engine in the open source race.

In his fourteenth Weekly Video Address, Matt is officially CHANGING THE GAME as he relaunches both the completely re-vamped and re-armored Matt-Wallace.com as well as the re-structured and re-infused-with-the-jizz-of-awesome KILL (the) FEED. You'll get a complete rundown of every new "channel" featured on the podcast, and details on their medium-crossing, genre-bending, multi-media content, including the epic webseries event that is MATT WALLACE'S WITCH/HUNTER, coming in December.
But first up, on GUT CHECK, Matt gets equally epic in his most topical and relevant rant to date. You are an unwitting cog in Facebook's world(wideweb) domination machine, Google will do anything to stop it, and Matt is the only one asking the right questions as he breaks down the players and pathology in the coldest war there is; the one for control of the User.
The future, as it usually does, is coming, and you're a more powerful weapon than a ray gun will ever be.
