PodCulture 177: The Zombie Waters of Geek – Part A

Posted on Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Christina opens this week, talking about the loveliness of Netflix streaming, she’s in nerd heaven. She is taking her exercise classes, and wonders about the conductivity of electricity of a little geek girl. Adam is drowning in the extras on the Star Trek blu-ray, and spent his day at home 3-D modeling a gorgeous light-filled room. Glenn has been dipping his toe in the deep pool of Fringe, and is spending every other waking moment playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Christina has finally watched The Ghost Hunters “Waverly Sanatorium” episode during her waking moments in the middle of the night. Brad has become his own kind of zombie playing Left 4 Dead 2 into the wee hours.

Tell me, Doctor, where are we going this time? Brad, Adam and Christina discuss the latest Doctor Who special, The Waters of Mars. We’re spoiling you left and right, so if you wish to remain uninfected, skip between the 14 minute mark to the 30 minute mark. We give you a plot synopsis, our opinions about his “companion” for this story, and our hypotheses for the next special, The End of Time. What scares Christina? What intrigues Adam? Who do the boys find hot?

Geek Cuisine is decking the halls, as the gang enjoys new Now and Later flavored candy canes.

Thank you to The 9th: A Heroes Podcast for their promo.

Our music this week is Christina’s favorite song by Chameleon Circuit, “Exterminate, Regenerate”

PodCulture 176: Invasion of the Space Lizards – Part B

Posted on Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Welcome back, Geeklings! Christina opens with the things we’re looking forward to!

We’re counting the days until Waters of Mars comes out, and we’re torn between being excited to see it and dreading the end of David
Tennant’s run as The Doctor. Brad and Christina talk about his appearance on The Sarah Jane Adventures. They’re enjoying the banter
between Mr. Smith and K-9, and Christina warns you of the heart-breakitude of the episode.

We’re geeking and cuisining! It’s Cotton Candy Pop Rocks!

What are geeks if not gamers? Adam talks about Borderlands and Dragon Age: Origins. Christina talks about an article she read about playing video games being “couples therapy”. Do you play with your significant other? Does it serve as “bonding time” with your family? Tell us! Christina is experimenting with easter eggs on Scribblenauts, and she shares some of the amusing finds. The boys talk about the Left 4 Dead 2 demo, and Adam gives us his in-depth review. Glenn gives it a pass for Wolfenstein, Flashpoint and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Brad is giving his Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 a break to experiment with his new OS Ubuntu 9.10.

In closing, the gang anticipates the beginning of the holiday season. Will you be going out for Black Friday or will you shop in front of
the computer in your jammies? Glenn thanks the fan that gave him a copy of Night of the Creeps, and shows off his dvd from Amazon.
Christina is happy to have found Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Pumpkin Who Couldn’t Smile online. Glenn beseeches the audience to find him a copy of Gozilla versus Megalon. Brad and Christina have signed up for Netflix, so suggest away, dear listeners!

Thanks so much for our promos from Geek Survival Guide and Marc Gunn’s Irish and Celtic Music Podcast.

PodCulture 175: Invasion of the Space Lizards – Part A

Posted on Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Welcome to the 175th episode of PodCulture!

Christina is behind on Glee and Lie to Me, but is just starting Definitely Dead by Charlaine Harris. Not content to be a couch potato any longer, she has signed up to for aquatic exercise classes! Adam has been working on some animations for the Bellflower and himself. He tells the story of his disobedient wig for his Tenth Doctor costume! Glenn is running rampant in Aion, and trying to decide between
characters. He is all caught up with Big Bang Theory! Brad is working his butt off and up to his eyelashes in dental work. The summit of his efforts approaches, however, as he’s getting used to his temporary bridge! They gush about the deliciousness of The Old Spaghetti Factory. If you’ve got one in your area, check it out!

Glenn Guilts us up with Fantastic Argoman! This 60’s Italian super-anti-hero, likened by Glenn to Diabolique, is also available on Netflix!

We are of peace. We are of geek. The foursome talks about the reboot
of V.Glenn gives us a brief Previously on V summary, and as Browncoats, they appreciate Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk. Brad and Glenn compare it to the original, as Adam and Christina mark the obvious political references. During the V comparison to Battlestar Galactica, Christina poses the choice; Anna or Six? Should we give it a season to find its feet, like Stargate Universe? Will the BSG-ness of Stargate Universe be its undoing?

Christina and Brad have plowed through all of the existing episodes of Fringe. The lady is in love and squeeing! Christina’s conscience is struggling not to admit she enjoys it more than she did X-Files, but is losing the battle! She discusses her favorite character, Walter Bishop, and his notes on Fox’s website. Brad is enjoying Leonard Nimoy’s cameo, and they’re loving the J.J. Abrams easter eggs. Adam is almost caught up with Supernatural and the gang absolutely loved the
Halloween episode of Castle. He is enjoying Big Bang Theory, and speaking of big bangs, is watching MythBusters. Find out what Brad tells Christina to make her drop the f-bomb (it must be bad!) about Lie To Me. Yes, she knows she will probably get hate mail for this one, but she can’t tell a lie!

Promos come from Brad’s own The GeekSpin and The Dollhouse Podcast.
