In brightest day, year after year, no podcast shall escape your ears…Welcome to The Green Lantern: First Flight review episode of PodCulture!
Glenn opens and tells us how he’s sunk his teeth into Moonlight, and looking forward to the possible movie. Adam’s working hard and playing hard, enjoying his Palm Pre. Stay tuned for his review in a future episode! Christina’s watching So You Think You Can Dance and enjoying her iPhone games. Brad had some asswonkiness with his iPhone, and his contact list got sucked into the void of the ether.
Kevin (from Tuning Into Sci Fi TV, The Scapecast, The Signal podcasts) calls our voicemail line to talk about Torchwood: Children of Earth. Thanks, Kevin!
The quartet of geeks reviews a preview copy of Green Lantern: First Flight. It’s the animated movie, starring the voice talents of Christopher Meloni, Victor Garber and Tricia Helfer. As one of, if not THE biggest fandom of Brad’s, he offers insight into the adaptation. He and Glenn discuss variations and accuracy compared to the history of the comic. Adam and Christina are Lantern virgins, and offer a newbie perspective. Is Brad impressed, or scarred for life? Will Adam and Christina be buying comics now?
Glenn’s looking forward to the live action Green Lantern movie, starring Ryan Reynolds, and he lets us know about the World of Warcraft movie. Adam is drooling over the Quantum Mechanix Serenity replica. Christina’s watched the pilot of Glee, and enjoyed it, so tell us about the random new shows you’re watching! The gang discusses and worries about the potential reboot of Futurama. Christina and Brad ponder the tv cultural exchange between U.S. and U.K. television.
Brad’s final thought is announcing that The Geek Spin is nominated for a Parsec Award for The Best Speculative Fiction Music Podcast! Congratulations, Brad!!
Christina, Adam, and a drugged-out post-oral surgery Brad, get together and bring you PodCulture’s Torchwood: Children of Earth special. If you have NOT watched Torchwood: Children of Earth, you will want to save this episode for later listening as spoilers WILL abound!
First off the gang is joined by the rest of the crew for a discussion on spoilers, good? bad? ugly? What is the proper spoiler etiquette? What exactly IS a spoiler? How soon is “too soon” to post a spoiler? Should spoiler posters be tarred and feathered?
Tim from The Babylon Podcast calls in with his views on spoilers and his response to the Brad Rants minisode.
SPOILER ALERT – SPOILER ALERT – SPOILER ALERT

After an intro by none other than “eye candy” Gareth David-Lloyd, Adam, Christina, and the still fuzzy-headed Brad get into the main event. A complete no-holds-barred review and discussion of Torchwood: Children of Earth. Who liked what? Who disliked what? Who is gunning for RTD now? What is the gang looking forward to after the events of the mini-series? Tune in and find out a somewhat different opinion from the normal reaction to Torchwood: Children of Earth.
Stay tuned till the end for a lighter take on Torchwood with a song by Ridikulus called You Don’t Know Jack Harkness (a parody of You Don’t Know Jack by the great Luke Ski)

Ashlee is loving the Canadian cartoons on Cartoon Network, including Clone High and Bromwell High. The gang discusses the mock-reality show factors of Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action.

Howdy gang….breaking into the feed again (this time it is a little more light hearted) for another special announcement. Boy oh boy do I have a rant. Ran smack into a major spoiler regarding one of my favorite shows on twitter today. I mean this thing was a “Wash dies” level spoiler! The person posting this should have known better than to post something like that too. I mean this happened just SECONDS after the episode in question aired! I couldn’t wait for the next recording session for PodCulture to get this off my chest, so here ya go….Brad Rants 001! Let me know what ya think! Drop me an email: Brad@PodCulture.net or leave a comment at the PodCulture forums located www.FarpointForums.com, or call the voicemail line 206-338-3POD (3763)
Hey guys and gals,
We just wanted to let you guys know that due to a family emergency this week’s episode of PodCulture will be delayed until next week. Thank you for being so understanding, and we look forward to getting back into the geeking next week!
Peace,
Brad, Glenn, Christina, and Adam
