In which Thom & Andru welcome back the show's very first guest Brian Peck, for a spoileriffic, Ape-tastic discussion in which everyone learns that good remakes are possible in 2011, but only if your source material featured Roddy McDowell. Also, praise for SportsNight, disdain for Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, a shameless plug for MegaSpider, and which bad films have the members of our panel walked out on? The answer...may surprise you. |
Mon, 29 August 2011
In which Thom & Andru chat with actress/comedian/cosplay enthusiast Ruby Leigh Young about the journey from Austin to LA, the ins and outs of improv, the ambivalence of geek mainstreaming, the awesome influential power of The Maxx, and the distressing lack of cat ears on Anne Hathaway. Also, Google+ gets shuffled off to "meh" territory, and there's a good chunk of D&D talk for the second week running. Huzzah! Music by Paul & Storm |
Mon, 22 August 2011
In which Thom & Andru answer listener e-mail, explain the show's logo, and address their heretofore lack of on-air gaming conversation, all in one fell swoop! Also, an amiable chat with special guest Mitch Iverson on big bads and boss battles, the puzzle of box office prognostication, and the joy of turning stereotypes into surround sound...er, types. Music by Connor Anderson. |
Mon, 15 August 2011
In which Thom and Andru face down the future (both distant and not-too) with confidence and zen, secure in the knowledge that while Apes may rise, music sales may fall, and shared reality may wither away into quaint anachronism, the universal constant of re-packaging and re-releasing Star Wars will continue unabated. Also, where have all the non-evil aliens gone? |
Mon, 8 August 2011
In which Thom & Andru delve into both the golden age of radio and the current undead rennaiscance with special guest Shane Salk, one of the minds behind Zombie Podcast/We'reAlive. Also on tap: contrasting, spoiler-filled reviews of Cowboys And Aliens and Attack The Block, the show receives its second successful phone call, and some major -- and we mean major! -- pointing chops are unleashed. Music by Paul & Storm |
Mon, 1 August 2011
In which Thom & Andru chat with special guest Michele Ivey about the sublime, ridiculous, and genuinely life-saving benefits garnered through a lifetime of intense TMNT fandom. Also, a spoiler-ish review of Captain America, celebrity sightings, censorship weirdness, nerd-fleecing at its most -- and least -- appropriate, and the story behind Andru's go-to vociferation is revealed! |
Mon, 25 July 2011
In which Thom lives vicariously through Andru and special guest Chris Jackson (co-host of The Spoon and brand manager for ACME Archives Ltd) as they recap their Comic-Con 2011 adventures, laying out the good, the bad, and the ugly from both the fan and exhibitor perspectives. Also, the heartbreak of iPhone drainage, the disappearance of Asian Alvin, tips on milking a cult success, Stan Lee might be a cyborg, and there's a phantom fly in the studio that apparently only Thom can see. |
Mon, 18 July 2011
In which Thom & Andru cover early pop-culture memory, the hidden danger of DVD commentary, fandom as religious allegory, antidotes to the blockbuster mentality, and Comic-Con correspondence possibility, all on their way to reviewing Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows pt2 ...eventually. Music by Tessa Netting . |
Mon, 11 July 2011
In which Thom & Andru dispense with the need for origin stories, prepare to survive Carmageddon, and delve ever further into the meteoric rise of Whovian culture with special guest Joshua L Friedman while barely scratching the surface of talking about his gig at the Playboy Mansion. (WTF, is this show run by a bunch of nerds, or something?) Music by Two Ball Loo. |
Mon, 4 July 2011
In which Thom & Andru discover the joys of Skypecasting, catch up on each other's pop-cultural pursuits, contemplate the YouTubian approach to storytelling, and chat with Kielen King about his awesome electro-soul sci-fi concept album, Star Pilot's Lament . |
