Happy Birthday, PodCulture! Happy Holidays!
The quartet has gotten silly on soda, and Christina is quoting Gilbert and Sullivan as we start this episode!
Andy opens our tv and dvd segment with one of Christina’s favorite shows ever, Father Ted. He and his wife are going through Buffy before they pick up Babylon 5. He and his son are watching Fascape when he isn’t watching (proper) football. Brad shows off his shiny new entire collection of Farscape. We all marvel at the genius of Lani Tupu. Glenn is all caught up on Fringe, and going through hiatus withdrawal for his group of shows. He is still enjoying Conspiracy Theory. He and Carly are making their way though Charmed, and he has picked up the newest Harry Potter. Adam is almost caught up with Supernatural, and Better Off Ted, and the gang takes a moment to talk about Dollhouse. This leads to talk of the slew of Firefly and Serenity content and merchandise coming soon. Adam has also been watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 on Hulu.com, so he has begun watching season one again. Brad and Christina are loving Fringe, Castle, and Big Bang Theory. Christina compares the latest episode of Big Bang Theory to how she outsourced her Green Lantern crash course to Scott. Christina is loving the Alice miniseries on Syfy, and is loving Andrew Lee Potts as a tough guy. They have also watched Doctor Who Dreamland, the animated Doctor special also starring the lovely voice of Georgia Moffett. Christina loved the season finale of Glee, and is still adoring Lie To Me.

The Birthday Bacchanalian Celebration continues!
The gang reminisces about four years of podcasting, toys, and geektacular fun. Christina poses the task of adding up all the episodes of the multitudes of television shows the quartet has watched in as many years.
Christina and Brad regale his family’s tradition of Candy Day, and he shares the recipe (and the dorky variations) for his awesome candy. If you’d like the recipe, e-mail either of us. To counter the sweet with sour, Adam tells us about Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets from ThinkGeek.com.
Speaking of things that make your face (and other parts of you) pucker, Glenn inflicts…er…shares the film Far Cry with us. We’ve all watched this piece of Uwe Boll’s repertoire. Andy tells us about the former Guilty Pleasures that he’s found on Netflix.
The Jones Sodas of Christmas continue with strangely yummy Orange Cola, Pear Tree and Red Apple flavors!

We welcome Andy back in to the studio for our 4th Anniversary Special!
Adam is waiting with all the patience of a kid on Christmas Eve for his new tv. He tells us about caving with his sister, which is neither for the thin of character or stout of body. Christina is happy with the winner of this season’s So You Think You Can Dance finale, and has begun watching The Tudors on Netflix Streaming. Andy does the Winter Break Happy Dance! He and his wife have been watching Doctor Who and Buffy, while he introduces his son to Farscape! Glenn has been playing so much Modern Warfare 2, he has decided to go back on his word to himself and go Prestige. Brad is working hard, during his most busy season on the job, and he and Christina share their hive mind moment with Fringe comic books.
What would a PodCulture Birthday Extravaganza be without Jones Soda?! We begin with three Jones Zero Calorie Zilch sugar free sodas. Pomegranate, Vanilla Bean and Black Cherry begin the stomach testing fun!
What is a birthday party without games? Andy begins our gaming segment with Modern Warfare 2, and Left 4 Dead, and lets slip that Assassins Creed may be coming from Santa. He is still playing City of Heroes/City of Villains, but has given up the ring on Lord of The Rings Online. Christina takes a moment to thank Kevin from Candywriter.com. She talks about the glitch in her favorite Imagine Poker game for the iPhone, and after writing to customer service, she has nothing but the best to say about the gang at Candywriter. For the great service Christina had, Brad had a bad turn with a Razor Lycosa keyboard he bought. Brad is still saving his last Left 4 Dead campaign for a really bad day, but all the guys are looking forward to The Passing, the union of the two sets of game zombie-killing posses. Andy asks for your casting suggestions for the dream-world “Left 4 Dead” movie. Brad is playing Phantasy Star Zero on the DS. Glenn tells us more about his exploring further in Modern Warfare. Christina pales in comparison to her gamer geekboys, but is ever in search of her next Virtual Villagers-type game.
Our promo comes courtesy of The Dollhouse Podcast, and we thank Rycehat for the song “Santa Had A Heart Attack”.

Bold Fruit Smoothie Jolly Rancher Candy Canes make up another festive Geek Cuisine!
Glenn returns in time to talk about movies and television. He starts out with Terminator Salvation, talking about the video game and movie combo. He and Carly have started watching Fringe, which excites Christina to no end. She wants him to watch the new Prisoner so he can explain things to her. Brad is finally getting into True Blood, and is catching up to where Christina and Adam have left off. Christina is in her bunk at the suggestion of a fight between Spike and Eric. (Ladies, take a moment to think about that one.) She and Brad are watching Law and Order: UK with Freema Agyeman and Jamie Bamber. Glenn is watching Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura. Brad is lamenting the cancellation of Dollhouse, but looking forward to the two hour blocks each Friday. Christina got weepy during the second-to-last episode of Glee. Adam is watching the usual Castle and Big Bang Theory, as well as Lock and Load. He is finally into the current season of Supernatural. He has watched Inglorious Bastards, and the gang discusses what we normally expect from Quentin Tarantino versus what the movie brings. Brad happily brought home Star Trek on blu ray.
In closing, Brad tries to convince Adam to buy a Nintendo DS. Christina suggests enjoying the outdoors before it gets seriously cold, and Adam hopes his job doesn’t deport him to Green Bay for training. The gang talks about their gamer tags on the 360, and the guys invite everyone to play Left 4 Dead 2. Brad gives you a sneak peek at the new PodCulture site at http://www.podculture.net and picks on Glenn one more time before we close.

Brad, Adam and Christina open this episode of PodCulture, but Glenn will join them later! They’re giddy and gobbling, and geeking!
What is the Christmas season without cookies and milk? We’re Geek Cuisining with Candy Cane Creme Oreo cookies!
Don’t fall asleep! Our promo this week comes courtesy of The Dollhouse Podcast.
Glenn is back in time to game geek with the gang. While he is missing playing World of Warcraft, he is still deep in the trenches of Modern Warfare 2. He tells us about the trailer of what’s to come in Aion, and can’t wait! Adam explains, and confuses Christina, about the timey-wimey new update of World of Warcraft.
The boys still debate which platforms to play which games on, while Adam is still carrying out the zombie massacre in Left 4 Dead 2. He tips the scale of debate with the temptation of moding different levels of the game on the PC. Brad and Adam loved the easter eggs in the game, including Jonathan Coulton’s “Re: Your Brains” and “Still Alive”. Brad shares his favorite Ellis story, and Christina tips her hat to Andy’s observation. They all discuss their favorite zombie weapons. Christina shares her recipe for Zombie Arms, after which, she considers becoming vegetarian. If you’d like the recipe, e-mail her!
Brad has picked up Super Mario Brothers for the Wii, and rocks it old school. Christina shares how she and Brad win Christmas, and what they got for Brad’s sister and family. Adam bites the bullet and buys a ginormous 60″ television so he’ll have it when he buys his house.
Brad has found one other game related gem in the R4 card for the Nindendo DS. He was able to put all the games he has onto one memory card, so he can carry his entire collection around at once. Given the pandora’s box of games to try, surely he’ll have lots of new games to review for future episodes! For his first go around, he shares what he thinks about the Doctor Who Top Trumps game. Christina and Brad try to tempt Adam and Glenn to join the madness!

Welcome to PodCulture, my geeklings!
Glenn is been playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and unlocking challenges and weapon upgrades. Speaking of weapons, he has also picked up Left 4 Dead 2 as Adam has. Adam has also been up to lots of work, and planning for his Mammoth Cave caving trip with his sister. His work on the Bellflower is amping up again, and he has been inventing some digital nature. Christina and Brad have been keeping up with their usual suspects of television, and Christina is on the second to last Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse novel. Brad had been killing him some zombies in Left 4 Dead 2, too. Adam questions whether he likes the first game’s cast better than his one, or if Ellis takes the cake. Which do you prefer? Who would you cast as the Left 4 Dead crews? Brad used his birthday gift card to get the new Super Mario Bros game for the Wii. Christina is still going to the pool, albeit begrudgingly, for exercise, and Brad blames the slow-poke runners on Thanksgiving Day.
If you don’t wish to be spoiled by Dollhouse goodness, you may want to skip from about the 13 minute point. Find out what die hard fan Brad has to say about the mid-season premiere. What impresses Christina, who is a less than stellar fan, about the show in general? What admission does Christina makes about her own character flaw? Adam treads the middle waters between the two of them, enjoying some and being disappointed in other things.
Thank you to Darryl for his voicemail! He has been watching MI5 and Jekyll on his Netflix streaming, and loving it! He agrees with Christina’s point about Dollhouse and Echo, and agrees with Adam on the point of slow storytelling. For Glenn, he feels the Call of Duty love!

We enjoy being couch potatoes in this episode!
Glenn has picked up Star Trek on blu-ray, and Adam’s got the shiny edition with the replica pins from Quantum Mechanix. Glenn also got the Watchmen Ultimate Collection on blu-ray, and the boys discuss the massive amount of extras, and the motion comic.
Brad and Christina are watching the usual suspects of television, and sucked into Netflix. She is loving Glee and Lie To Me, and the pair are knee deep in adoration for Fringe. Brad has got her watching The Avengers, and they’re enjoying Peter Davison Doctor Who stories. They are delving into The Prisoner remake and both are vastly confused, but liking it. The actor Christina can’t think of the name of is Lennie James, and they discuss the swapping of accents in actors. Brad is looking forward to Rex Is Not Your Lawyer with David Tennant. Christina made Brad watch Waiting for God and Red Dwarf. Glenn is caught up on Heroes, and Adam is finally in to season five of Supernatural. Adam and Christina both enjoyed the most recent episode of Stargate Universe, but Brad found it lacking. Christina hears the listeners sharpen their pitchforks when she admits just how weak her geek-fu is. She hasn’t seen New Moon yet, and the guys aren’t looking forward to Underworld 4. Glenn keeps trying to get Christina to watch The Vampire Diaries.
Just because she loves Tom Smith, Christina forgives him for this song we’re sharing, “New Moon”.
Andy leaves a voicemail for us about The Who playing the halftime show at the Superbowl, Sherlock Holmes’ awesome action, Left 4 Dead 2 and how Ellis reminded him of Brad.
In closing, Christina wishes everyone happy Thanksgivinginess, and Adam still wants night vision goggles. Glenn is dreading the hiatus for the shows he loves, and looking forward to Lost coming back on February 2nd. Everyone is happy that Chuck is coming back early, but Brad is mourning the canceling of Dollhouse. What was your favorite canceled show? Let us know!

Christina opens being thankful for her wonderful boys she podcasts with, as well as geeky family and friends. Glenn is looking forward to the new Sherlock Holmes movie, but they worry about the homage. Speaking of homage, Christina brings up the geek reference to Serenity in this week’s episode of V.
All’s fair in love and video games. Glenn is passionate about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. So much so, he has got the Prestige Edition, including the actual (and freaking hella awesome) night vision goggles. He discusses many aspects of the game, his favorite features, and the extra spiffiness of his edition. Adam hasn’t been playing much, but he is busy watching movies and creating gorgeous 3D art. Christina, too, has had her schedule filled with watching things, instead of playing. She is ridiculously happy with Netflix, including enjoying cartoons like Kipper. Brad makes up for both of them, playing his thumbs off with Left 4 Dead 2! Christina finds that Ellis reminds her of Jason Stackhouse from True Blood, but she is still creeped out watching it. The boys talk about the awesomeness of the new weapons, and the detailed gross ways to rekill the undead. Brad and Adam debate the differences between playing a first person shooter on a console versus on a computer. Glenn shares the good news that he has won a copy of Operation Flashpoint!
Glenn facetiously gives us this week’s Geek Cuisine! Smarties flavored candy canes!
We thank our friends at The Zombie Channel for their promo and the great Luke Ski for his post-Thanksgiving shopping themed song Black Friday!
