PodCulture 140: Geeking and Telling

Posted on Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Geek light special in aisle three!

Christina opens this week with what she would have once called sacrilege. She’s watching America’s Best Dance Crew! It spurns a discussion about classic 70’s/80’s tv shows. Adam’s been working on some CG animations, and Christina mentions the Whedon alumni on House.

Share the remote! Glenn’s determined to keep up with Lost, and is trying to enjoy Heroes with Mark Verheiden at the pen. We talk about theories for Sylar, Peter and HRG. Adam’s been watching The Big Bang Theory, and gives our friend Justin a shoutout for his podcast The Scene Stealer, talking about Summer Glau’s role on the CBS comedy. Glenn’s watched Babylon AD and Death Race. Brad and Christina have Chuck on blu-ray and Birds of Prey. The gaggle talk about music rights when shows come to dvd. The pair has finally watched Hellboy 2,  and found both Repo: The Genetic Opera and Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog on dvd (as well as the cd soundtrack).

Christina and Brad make a trip to Build A Bear, and Brad’s got the Mal maquette and Serenity Scenes Poster Prints from Quantum Mechanix. He’s also got a Skrull Mighty Mugg and a Crisis On Infinite Earths “Harbinger” figure.

Glenn’s playing Call of Duty 5, and now he’s got a new piece of historic shiny! Adam is still playing Left 4 Dead, and talks about the new downloadable content. Christina’s found a Ms. Bitters action figure from Invader Zim.

Thanks so much to Brian Richardson from What The Cast, The Obscure 80’s Podcast and Dragon Page: Cover To Cover for their promos!

PodCulture 139: Welcome to the Geekhouse

Posted on Monday, February 16th, 2009

Come pledge to the Geek House, ladies and gents!

Glenn’s been keeping up with Lost and Heroes, while making sure his WoW-verse doesn’t get neglected. In his day job, Glenn recalls the movie Runaway, while watching a robot investigate a “suspicious package”. Adam’s a lumberjack, and he’s okay, as he takes down remnants of the ice storm in his backyard. He’s finally got power, and has been enjoying season two of Doctor Who, including the gorgeous CGI work in “Satan Pit”. Adam also fills us in on the fanglorious True Blood. We discuss how sci-fi has found its way into “mainstream” television, and the fact that it’s chic to be geek. Christina’s got new brainy specs, and has managed to fit in more House while she packs for her vacation in Cleveland. Brad’s got new eyeballs, too, and has been fighting off the “adjustment migraine” from hell.

The gang geeks in depth about Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse, on the Fox Network. We discuss what impressed or disappointed us, how we compare it to Jekyll and My Own Worst Enemy, and Christina psychoanalyzes the Tina and Ike relationship Joss has with the Evil One. What’s your view? Do you have a guess for the dead pool? What are your theories about Amy Acker’s role? Email us!

Geek Cuisine is the rainbowfied Skittles Crazy Cores candies, and Brad shares his recipe for Skittles-infused vodka. Christina puts out the request to the listeners for a recipe for a “Sonic Screwdriver”. The pack talks about dinner at Red Robin.

In closing, Christina gives Brad part of his Valentine’s Day prezzie, which is a license plate holder from the lovely folk from Quantum Mechanix, that reads, “A Leaf On The Wind-Wash Is My Copilot”.

Our promo comes courtesy of The Weird Show!
