Writer Gwendolyn Jensen-Woodard, of Buffy Between the Lines, introduces our motley crew this week. We welcome Andy, Ashlee, Adam and Todd back into our studio!
Glenn gives us his review of “Hitman” and “The Golden Compass”, and the gang talks about the media controversy of the latter. We compare whether or not we should read books before we see their big screen counterparts, or vice versa. Which do you do? Andy has been enjoying “Tin Man” on Sci-Fi, and Ashlee’s seen Beowulf in 3-D while mourning her 360. Ashlee has indoctrinated her grandmother in the ‘verse of Firefly and Serenity, and reveals her big news that she got accepted to the Vancouver Film School.
Brad and Christina have been watching “Genesis of the Daleks,” “Buckroo Bonzai”, and “Primeval”. Glenn is finally caught up with Heroes, while looking forward to Lost Season 3 on dvd. Andy is trying without success to get his wife to watch Battlestar Galactica. The group talks about having massive amounts of television on what the young whippersnappers of today would call “antiquated” media, like VHS and laser disc.
Brad gets an extra round of applause for watching “Talladega Nights”, despite his dislike (and that’s gentle) for Will Ferrell.
Geek Cuisine this week is Cadbury Christmas Ornament Eggs.
Our 2 year anniversary Guilty Pleasure may only be outdone by “Robo Vampire”. A movie called “Stargrove” aka “Never Too Young To Die” comes a very, very close second to last year’s guilt-fest.
Thanks so much, as always, to Beatnik Turtle for their song, “Goin’ Through The Motions This Christmas”, and The Great Luke Ski for his festive “Christmas at Hogwarts”.
Promos this week come kindly from The Scapecast, and BigDamnSequel.com.
