The PodCulture crew is taking the week off this week.
Don’t fret yet! The crew will be back next week with a fresh piping-hot batch of geeky goodness that they cooked up just for you!
Brad and Christina take a week off from PodCulture, and dust off the Stargate Louisville podcast and join friends and fans in remembering a dear part of the sci-fi community, actor Don S. Davis.
Whether you knew him as Scully’s dad on The X-Files, Major Garland Briggs on Twin Peaks or as General George S. Hammond on Stargate: SG1, fans were treated with a brilliant and heartfelt performance in everything Don did.
We had the distinct privilege of meeting Don at Dragon*Con two ago, and the genuine kindness of his man became a favorite memory of the trip. He was so happy to sit and chat with us, sign autographs and answer questions. A brilliant storyteller, consummate actor, and immeasurable footprint has been swept from us. May he be just on the other side of The Event Horizon, just waiting with smiles and jokes to share.
Please join us as we share clips from past convention panels, and some of our memories. We would also like to thank the listeners who have shared their stories with us (and you) as well.
Should you wish to, please make a donation to the American Heart Association in Don’s memory.
Brad and Christina introduce this week’s episode, and break the news about the passing of actor Don S. Davis. If you’ve got a favorite moment or line from any of Don’s characters, (General Hammond from Stargate: SG1, Captain Scully from X-Files, etc) send them in to us or call the voicemail line 206-338-3POD (3763) and leave a message. We’ll put it in his tribute show, to air on Tuesday, the 8th.
Geek Cuisine goes green! Flat Earth’s Wild Berry Patch crisps make all of us ridiculously happy.
The Shoppening continues! In this week’s Geek and Tell Brad gets the final installment in his free HD dvds, including Smokin’ Aces, Lethal Weapon, Troy, Four Brothers, U2: Rattle and Hum. We do an 80’s flashback, and pick up Space Camp and War Games (in a dual pack), and Galactica 1980. Christina’s dementia is catchy, and Brad can’t recall if he talked about his Alien Nation dvds. He’s added MST 3K: The Movie, and Stargate The Movie on blu-ray. Glenn’s picked up Omega Man on HD, The Eye, The Secrets of Isis, National Treasure 1 and 2, Alexander Revisited, and the Dirty Harry Ultimate Collector’s Set on blu-ray. Adam has begun to watch Stargate: SG-1.
Christina makes the confession that she’s watched an episode of “So You Think You Can Dance”.
Geek Cuisine 2.0 finds the foursome testing “Private Selection” sodas including blood orange, blueberry lemon, and cranberry lemon.
Glenn’s finishing up The 4400, and We wrap up entreating our listeners to see the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to seeing movies, listening to music, and playing games.
Thank you so much to Brian for his promo of What The Cast, and “Old Dun Cow” by Beatnik Turtle from their cd, Sham Rock. We hope you enjoy the promos for the newest books: Philippa Ballantine’s “Digital Magic” and “Billibub Baggins and the Pitcher’s Pendant” by Tee Morris.
