Glenn talks about the movie Whiteout, and the difficulties he has has finding it on dvd.

When Christina returns, Glenn begins our tv show segment with Vampire Diaries. As much as Christina loves all things Vamp, she still needs convincing. He’s sill keeping up with Supernatural and Fringe, and finally picked up True Blood on dvd. Which team are you on? Christina is firmly planted in Ericland. He has also picked up the game Gamer, Final Destination 3-D and Pandora. During Pandora, he sees a trailer for Law Abiding Citizen. Christina has finished The Tudors and eagerly awaits the next season. She shares the greatness of Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Sarah Bolger. Her find of the week is BBC’s Casanova, starting David Tennant. She totally squees over this Whoapalooza of characters, and appreciates the modernly artistic views on costumes. Speaking of Who, Brad and Christina are watching Law & Order: UK, and love spotting the Whovian actors. They’re also keeping up with Castle, and enjoying the new seasons of Being Human and Survivors. The latter is the series based on the story by Terry Nation, and the pair marvel at the amount of storytelling done in each and every episode. The pair discuss Sanctuary, and Christina still thinks that Robin Dunne looks like he could play Spike’s little brother. Christina finds an article about undiscovered gems of tv, and is looking forward to finding The Inbetweeners. Brad and Adam discuss Dollhouse, and anticipate how it will end. Christina enjoys Topher and Enver Gjokaj’s portrayal of him all the more. Glenn, Brad and Christina take a moment to talk about Heroes, and the story lines that have died and been altered over the seasons. Brad went to the comic shop on Wednesday, and has picked up The Supernatural and Jericho comics.

They’re loving Chuck, Supernatural, and Christina is hopelessly in love with Walter on Fringe. The boys eagerly await Lord of the Rings on blu-ray, and Christina is enjoying the Fringe bloopers. Glenn isn’t ready Prestige again in Modern Warfare 2. Christina has had her fill of the long days at work, and had a most bogus experience at the hospital. Glenn hasn’t been able to fly because of the fog, which leads Adam and Christina to geek about the gorgeously English weather.

Brad and Adam (and Christina, a little bit) have been playing the ghe’tor out of the Star Trek Online beta. Glenn and Adam try to convince Christina to watch all the movies, and she concedes for the love of Stewart and Nimoy. Both Adam and Brad have pre-ordered it through Steam, and discuss the extra goodies it will include. Being a total MMO noob, Brad is learning the ropes via the Star Trek ranks. Adam finds out the multiplication properties of Tribbles, and Christina still thinks they should be used as currency. Adam has played the beta for Star Wars Galaxies and the Lord of the Rings MMO, as well as having dabbled mildly in World of Warcraft. In his geek-honored opinion, he worries about interface issues, but looks forward to how the game will grow. They talk about some of the funnier glitches, and some of the nods to cannon characters. Despite being a World of Warcraft genius, Glenn has not signed up for the Starfleet. He and Adam talk game mechanics, and he sways toward picking it up. Christina knows nowt of Star Trek beyond the appreciation of Julian Bashir hotness and Troi hair envy. Still, she enjoys the gorgeous graphics, and enjoyed dipping her toe into the pool of character creation. Brad talks about his character’s visit to Deep Space 9, and they all look forward to future updates. Brad talks about the various subscription packs and options. What do you think? Would you take the chance on a lifetime subscription to a MMO? Give Christina suggestions for a hobby now that Brad will be warping to sector Trek now!

In closing, the quartet is coming down from sugar highs, and Christina is ready to hit the sack. Her final thought asks for good things to watch, asks for book suggestions to listen to on her daily commutes. Glenn talks about WoW and Jeeves, and the gang tries talk him into signing up for Star Trek Online. Adam entreats us to watch Chuck, and Christina geeks a bit about the Chuck app for the iPhone.

Glenn is weathering the winter hiatus by watching Conspiracy Theory. What’s the most pirated tv show out there? Yep, it’s Heroes. Which actor on it tickles Christina’s fancy.

Adam opens the gaming segment with some demos he’s been playing. He shares the great design of Dante’s Inferno, comparing the gameplay to God of War. The rating of the games spawns a discussion on ratings and lenient, or unaware, parents. Adam also plays the demo of Bayonetta, and discusses the hottness of a hair costume. Glenn is lost in Modern Warfare, but has made time for Left 4 Dead 2. He has Prestiged in Modern Warfare and considers repeating it.

Christina is working her butt off at work, and watching The Tudors. Brad’s patience is worn training noobs at work, and trying not to break any body parts on the ice.

Spoilers, they are a’flyin’! If you have not seen the last half of The End Of Time, please keep this episode on your hard drive until you have!

Christina does her best to recap the episode, and the boys fill in the gaps when she’s at a loss. She has nearly decapitated her Spike puppet during the tense show, and everyone in the room needs an adult beverage. They talk about special effects, character metamorphoses, and just rewards. Adam calls a character a dumbass, Brad appreciates hotness, and Christina will be picking up shards of broken hearts in the office for weeks. Is it a just ending to five years? Do they feel cheated? Vindicated? Find out. What endeared Matt Smith to the trio? What would they have changed? How does it remind them of Serenity? They adore Bernard Cribbins, and talk about the most moving bits of the episode. The gang discusses The Master and The Time Lords, and the lesser of two evils. They theorize about Torchwood and discuss two of the actors who were on Being Human. Each takes a turn listing their hopes for not only Matt Smith as an actor, but the show as a whole.

Time Lords, Companions and Tin Dogs, we welcome you to a special episode of PodCulture.

Brad, Adam and Christina open this special episode with chat of their holidays! Adam spent the festivities weekend with his family, while Brad and Christina enjoyed a quiet Christmas. Adam and Christina agree that giving presents is so much more fun than receiving. The geekiest thing he got was the Doctor Who Visual Dictionary from one the siblings he got hooked on Who, and he gave them Whovian presents in return. Brad has a hard time picking his geekiest present, but it must include his Time Lord box of goodies from Christina. She picked almost everything out on Zaniahz.com. It included the set of Time Squad figures, The Art of Destruction novel, a Tosh Torchwood figure, and an autographed photograph of David Tennant and Freema Agyeman. To celebrate both the New Year and the new Doctor, she surprises Adam with a t-shirt from ThinkGeek.com, with the Tardis on it, that reads “You Never Forget Your First Doctor”.

SPOILER ALERT! We take no prisoners, we keep no secrets. If you haven’t watched part one of The End of Time, and wish to remain spoilerless, please consider keeping this episode until you’re ready to geek fully with us! Don’t worry, we’ve got the Tardis, we’ve got time.

Christina gives her best shot at a synopsis of part one, while the boys tap The Master’s tattoo, singing the praises of Bernard Cribbins and June Whitfield. The trio discusses what regeneration means for an audience, their views of Russell T. Davies’ treatment of the tale, and what it all means for the Doctor. Adam shares his theory about what could have happened, what should have happened, and what his hopes are for part two. Christina questions the other companions, and throws out her impossible wish for Donna and Romana. Could she possibly love John Simm any more? Brad begs the question of which companion’s mom is scariest? Give us your thoughts? Adam talks about the emotion between actors and how that comes across on the screen. Tell us your regeneration story? Which Doctor was your first Doctor? Tell us who you’ve hooked to watch with you? The three talk about aspects of actors playing the Doctor and who they have loved along the way. As they close, Christina grasps desperately at the mic so she doesn’t have to see the end, but alas, the show must go on…

Our special musical guest for this episode is Chameleon Circuit with their song: An Awful Lot of Running from their CD Chameleon Circuit.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

example of a level, the crazy ways you can get through it, and some of the awesome easter eggs.

Jolly Rancher’s watermelon and green apple sodas make up our Geek Cuisine liquid refreshment. Are they as delicious as they sound? Oh, yes! We request our listeners to come up with a recipe for a Sonic Screwdriver.

The Halloweeny goodness continues with Baskin Robbins soft candies. We try a scoop of mint chocolate chip and a scoop of very berry strawberry. What goes horribly wrong with these? Who has got ninja reflexes, and who has got zombie reflexes? Who of us finds these candies tricks and not treats?

In closing, Christina poses the question to the boys, “What would you dress up as this year?”. Adam throws around the idea of zombie Billy Mays, and Throat Beard The Pirate. In reality, he’ll be going as Doctor (10) Who. Christina would be Sarah Jane Smith. Glenn and Brad decline to answer, and Christina suggests Sylvester McCoy for the latter. Glenn is just looking forward to going home to play Aion, and declines signing up for Champions. Adam thrills over the Halloween

Christina shares the iTunes Halloween tv sale news, as we open a spooky show segment. Glenn chooses John Carpenter’s The Thing as one of his favorite creepy movie. Christina loves Hocus Pocus, doing a throwback to Eerie, Indiana. Adam’s more into sci-fi than horror, and chooses Event Horizon as his spooky fave. Brad chooses the classic Prom Night, Carrie, Sleepaway Camp, and the Scream series. Christina’s two favorite creepiest tv show episodes are Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s “Hush” and Doctor Who’s “Blink”. Brad adds “Silence In The Library” to that spooky pile. He talks about the creep factor of some of the Sarah Jane Advenetures’ villains. Who can top The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown (or even the Robot Chicken variation)! What’s your favorite scary movie? Favorite horror movie? Would you rather be creeped out or

The show is flying at half-cast this week as Adam and Brad steer the good ship PodCulture into another week of geektacular goodness.

After that follows some chatter on videogames. Brad is playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 for the Xbox 360, and Scribblenauts for the Nintendo DS. Having taken Glenn’s suggestion Adam is getting into Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising for the PC while also finding time for some more Halo 3: ODST on the Xbox 360. Plus he is also looking forward to Modern Warfare 2.

The voicemail line for PodCulture sees some action as Krazy Joe from MegaPodzilla calls in with his own thoughts on and review of The Big Bang Theory.

Is it just a megamashup of Battlestar Galactica and Stargate? (not to mention Star Trek Voyager) Are they trying to cash in on former successes? Were the cameos by SG-1 characters great or gratuitous? Does it merely need time to go through the growing pains of Stargate Atlantis? Does everyone need Dramamine from all the flash forwards/flash backs? Let us know what you think?

Ashlee tells us about the scary Galaxy Empire figures she found at the Peddler’s Mall.

In closing, Glenn’s watched Creepshow 3 on Netflix, and says “Don’t do it!”. Okay, listeners. This is Glenn.

Adam says, “Watch Castle and Big Bang Theory!” Ashlee may be off to the great white Washington State, but we shan’t let her be totally free of our geek madness!

Glenn had to be up to film the Black Friday craziness from his helicopter and Adam had food poisoning from the day before, so they’re both happy with Thanksgiving being through.

Banana Split Cream Oreo cookies are the first confectionery goodness in this episode. Find out what Brad mixes with his Red Bull and what Christina threatens to put in his mouth while he’s sleeping.

Brad starts Geek And Tell with Transformers…surprise! He’s got Transformers Animated figures and a Decepticon jacket from Hot Topic

Glenn turns up the heat on Guilty Pleasures with Mercury Man (and yes, it’s available on NetFlix!).

We come back for seconds of Geek Cuisine this week, as we share Nestle Crunch Dark miniatures.

Final thoughts include readying ourselves for the holidays, getting Wall-E on Blu-ray, the necessity of wearing a coat, the loveliness of Canada, and Stargate Universe.

We give thanks for our promos, including Future Traditions, The Weird Show and Mark Gunn’s Irish and Celtic Music Podcast. Our gratitude to the Great Luke Ski for his song, Black Friday! Minor language for the very wee members of the PodCulture audience as we’ve included the “Bull$hit” song.

Ben and Scott talk about the newest flash of brilliance from Geekshow.us, Geek By Night. What does it have in common with PodCulture, Lost, and J.M. Straczynski?

We finish out our stash of gourmet candy corn with Strawberry Cotton Candy, Orange Mango and Toasted S’Mores.

Jay Emmitt from The Obscure 80’s Podcast calls into the voicmail line with his thoughts about Heroes.

Christina begins the book section of Geek and Tell with her newest obsession, The Twilight Series. Ben and Scott proceed to flame it so greatly, our eyebrows are singed.  What do you think? Is the series anti-feminist? Is Bella a good role model? (Christina wished she would have finished the books before the debate, because there are all kinds of points she would have made) Brad’s got Star Trek Destiny:Gods of Night, Expert Podcasting Practices for Dummies.

Final thoughts include having a happy Halloween, finally seeing the end to the candy corn, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, and the new Star Trek movie.

Thanks to Steampunk Spectacular and Morevi Remastered by Tee Morris for their promos!

Brad

Glenn’s got a full house to Guiltify this week, as he brings Russ Meyer’s “Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” (And it’s NOT on Netflix! Boo!)

Bronze Thumb from Australia calls in with feedback on our Heroes rant from last week.

Christina entreats out listeners to come up with a P.O. Box jingle, as we profusely thank Jayhawk for his prezzies!! He’s sent us “The IT Crowd”, and Doctor Who Series 4 on dvd with scads of extras!

Geek And Tell begins with video games, because Brad’s got Bioshock for the PS3 and a funny story picking up Fable 2. Glenn’s picked up Far Cry 2, and recreated the Lost island. Everyone’s still jamming with Rock Band 2, and Adam’s got the new drums. We move into movies, as the PodCulture couple has the special edition of Iron Man on blu-ray, spawning a discussion about casting, speculaion about story, and news about future Iron Man films. They’ve also got the second (short) season of Heroes on blu-ray.  Christina has scored tickets for the tour of the Broadway production of Wicked. Speaking of things green, Glenn talks about The Hulk on dvd. He’s also got Journey To The Center of the Earth in 3D, Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer, the Nightmare on Elm Street movie set, Freddie vs. Jason, Feast 2, Hannibal, The Happening, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

In music, Glenn’s got the new Pink album. Brad’s got the Stargate DHD application, and Christina’s got the School of Rock application from the iTunes store.

Thank you very much to Brian Richardson from What The Cast!

The gang geeks deeply about Doctor Who, and the bombshell about David Tennant. Do we think it’s time for change? Are we going to be clinging to his red Chuck Taylors? We talk numbers with regard to regenerations, Steven Moffat at the helm, and prospective Doctor Eleven actors. Brad brings up a controversial interview with Russell T. Davies, and the group discusses fan input in show creation. Are we tired of the Daleks and Cybermen? Companion wars ensue, and we all seem to love a different actress. Who loves Martha, Donna, Sarah Jane and Rose? What will David do next?

We discuss another spark of Steven Moffat genius: Coupling! Where does it cross over with Doctor Who?

Geek Cuisine comes courtesy of Christina’s Secret Pal at work, Crazy Bones Lollipops.

Matthew from Michigan calls in a voicemail about Transformers Titanium “War Within” figure.

Christina opens this Halloween Geek and Tell with her My Little Pony witch. Quantum Mechanix created the “Little Damn Hero” Kaylee figure that Brad brings to the table tonight. He’s also got a plethora of new Green Lantern figures, including the Crisis Black Hand and Sinestro. Glenn and Ben are exercising restraint, and Scott makes a great find on a First Appearance Blue Beetle figure. The group talks about Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, and foreign languages in comic books.

Love and thanks to The Obscure 80’s Podcast and Geek Cred for their promos!

Adam’s played (and beat) Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, but looks forward to trading in his copy toward Rock Band 2. The boys talk about the new Halo 3 campaign, look forward to the Quantum of Solace game, and Brad’s pre-ordered Fable 2. Off the clearance rack, Brad’s got Harry Potter’s Order of the Phoenix, and Spiderman 3 for the PS3. Christina is giddy about Little Britain USA.

All four proceded to Geek proper about Rock Band 2.

Day One song:

“BATTLESTAR RHAPSODY” by the great Luke Ski

Glenn opens up this week’s show with the ghoulishly Guilty “Girl Slaves of Morgana Le Fay”, starring Dominique Delpierre. And yes, folks, it’s on Netflix!

While the PodCulture studios were sans power, Brad picked up books! Firstly, he and Christina REALLY loved the audio drama from Torchwood, called Lost Souls. He’s added to the BBC shelf with “Twilight Streets” and “Something In The Water” from Tochwood, and “Snowglobe 7″, “The Many Hands”, and “Martha In The Mirror” from Doctor Who. On the comic geek side, he’s got DC’s Showcase Presents: Green Lantern Volume 3, Justice League of America: Exterminators, Star Trek New Frontier: Gods Above, Ghosts of Yesterday and the novelization of Transformers the movie, both by Alan Dean Foster. Adding to the comic fodder, he’s also got a Witchblade combo novel, including Talons and Terrible Beauty, and volumes 2 and 3 of the Witchblade graphic novel.

Guess what? Brad’s got Transformers! He’s got Prowl from Transformers Universe, a DC Universe Firestorm figure, Battlestar Galactica classic, and Green Lantern Mini Mates. He’s also got a Hal Jordan DC Universe figure, and a Little Mermaid cup from Best Buy.

Christina’s got a Martian Manhunter figure from The Batman series and a Wicked shirt. She’s got happy feet with two pairs of Halloween socks from her friend, Celeste, and a pair of Scotland socks from her friend, Carol. Glenn’s added a very swank Punisher shirt to his collection. Adam’s got a Stargate SGC shirt from ThinkGeek.com

Geek Cuisine rocks October with Brachs caramel candy corn!

Thanks to Kurt in St George for his voicemail about The Lone Gunmen, and from Emily for her voicemail about Lost! Thanks and gratitude to Tosus for the promo from Der Geek, and to Mark Gunn’s Irish and Celtic Music Podcast!

Glenn’s still working on his house, Adam did the Heart Walk for The American Heart Association, and Christina’s broken her hand. Brad got the early bird Rock Band 2, but mother nature sought to delay him.

Brad and Glenn both had birthdays in September, and both got booty! Glenn got money, and Carly gave him much-needed poster frames. He would like to buy the Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk games for the 360. Christina gave Brad a laser cut Green Lantern crystal, a shirt that reads, “Half Man, Half Koala”, and Doctor Who toys including the Doctor from Partners in Crime, Donna Noble, and the Utopia gift set.

Beware! Halloween is coming! This week, our geeks try Chocolate Caramel Candy Corn from Brachs.

Glenn is watching the seventh season of Smallville, and has finished the first season of Supernatural. The group talks about how Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki interact with each other. Brad and Christina are watching Smallville, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Heroes. If you wish to remain SPOILER FREE, skip from between the time marker of 36:00 until the 52:00 time mark. Christina wants to see Lost in Austen, and Glenn has enjoyed The Lost Room, which spurs the discussion of the transformation of The Sci-Fi channel. There’s discussion of Lost, Stargate Atlantis, and Sanctuary.

Gratitude for the promos from The Company Podcast, JT’s Indie Music Podcast, and Dragon Page With Class.

After a marathon crash month of catching up with all things Stargate, Adam is up to date, and we’re debriefing. We all agree to liking Continuum more than Ark of Truth, and that it took some time to embrace Stargate Atlantis. We discuss the pros and cons of each show, and how Atlantis began to morph into SG-1. Christina likes John Sheppard more than Cameron Mitchell. Who likes Carson better than Jennifer? Teal’C vs Ronon? We talk about our hopes for the characters before the end of the series, including Robert Picardo’s Woolsey.

In the second part, Adam’s seen the mid-season cliffhanger episode and we discuss it, so if you want to avoid spoilers, STOP LISTENING at the point Walter says, “Unauthorized incoming transmission from SGL!”

What do you think about the cancellation of Stargate Atlantis? Did you enjoy the mid-season cliffhanger? Send us an incoming transmission and let us know!

Glenn give us the Pleasure De Guilt for the week with Phantom Empire.

Geek Cuisine ushers in the fall with Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses.

We’re still wading though Dragon Con souvenirs, and Brad’s got books! Stargate Atlantis “Mirror Mirror”, Stargate SG:1 “Roswell”, Stargate SG:1 “Do No Harm”, Sherilynn Kenion’s “Seize The Night”. They’ve got CDs, Christina’s favorite being “Like A Waterfall” by James Marsters. Brad’s got The Brobingagian Bards’ “Holy Grail of Irish Drinking Songs”, Mark Gunn’s “Whiskers In The Jar”, “Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers” and “Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover’s Companion”. The pair have a Chicago 2005 dvd of Wicked. Brad’s now the owner of a set of Green Lantern shot glasses from StylinOnline. “Planet Hulk” and “Young Avengers” hardback collections have made their way onto Brad’s shelf, and Glenn’s got Next Avengers on DVD. Christina picked up a present for Brad’s birthday, and he’s picked out a full-sized replica of the Sword of Omens from Thundercats. Christina got herself some shiny in the form of a glass earth pendant and a replica of the Tardis key. Glenn’s got the new Coldplay cd “Viva La Vida”.

Congratulations to The Geek Spin for winning a Podcast Peer Award!

Promos come kindly from The Weird Show and The John Payne Fancast.

What did we bring for Geek and Tell? Brad and Christina have Sapphire and Steel, the first series of Transformers Animated, and Witchblade: The Series on DVD. Behold the bookshelves, as Brad adds to the collection. Digital Magic by Philippa Ballantine, The Case of The Pitcher’s Pendant: A Billibub Baddings Mystery by Tee Morris, and Mur Lafferty’s Playing for Keeps. Glenn’s picked up The Judas Strain by James Rollins. Christina is absolutely in love with her set of Brainwave Suite cds by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson.

Thanks a million tons to Stuart for his fantastically wonderful prezzie! The Ultimate SFX Trivia book, Star Wars Pocket Model, Doctor Who magnets, Farscape and Primeval posters, and a mylar Cylon poster. And to Mark, aka Jayhawk, our most grateful thanks for the Doctor Who Infinite Quest and series 2 of Primeval.

Brad and Christina talk about their friends on Twitter, Glenn’s enjoying playing with listeners on the 360, and Christina is mad about her Darkwing Duck shirt
