In which Thom & Andru catch up with Bernie Bregman of Nerds Like Us, with much musing on the ins and outs of textiquette, Kickstarter protocol and TV show revivals, the challenge of threading the continuity needle, and (because we're way behind the curve) a brief roundtable on The Hobbit. Plus, adventures at Paul Dini's garage sale, and the return of 4th Week Favorites! |
Sun, 24 March 2013
In which Thom ventures into the wilds of Woodland Hills to chat with friend of the show Robbie Rist about his newfound love of con culture, the eternal tug of war between art and commerce, rock'n'roll movies great and small, and the coming of Sharknado! Plus, how The Empire Strikes Back ruined Star Wars. From a certain point of view. |
Wed, 6 March 2013
In which Thom Bowers, R. Andru, and Bernie Bregman engage in leg-sweeping, crane-posing, and a hell of a lot of on-waxing. Join us at the Nerds Like Us midnight movie on Friday March 8 (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/342853) or play the home game whenever you'd like. Thanks for listening! |
Fri, 1 March 2013
In which Thom and Travis J Coleman recap the 2013 Oscars, recall their fondness for WarGames, recount early 'That guy!" guys, and recreate random moments from Aaron Sorkin shows, ’cause they’re neato like that. Also, semi-redemption from massive technological fails, and yet another venture into bridge-building between nerds & normals. It’s the right thing to do |
Tue, 12 February 2013
In which Thom and special guest Kielen King chat about early influences, synthesized subversions, imaginary narratives, and the upside of rejection, all while delving into the musical meal that is Kielen’s new album, Soundtrack For An Automated Night II. Plus, puppet talk! |
Wed, 6 February 2013
The first in a series of commentaries created to coincide with the Nerds Like Us midnight movies. Insights, anecdotes, and jocularity from Thom Bowers, R. Andru, Bernie Bregman, and Travis J Coleman. Sync with movie after introduction, at 3:10. (You'll know it when you hear it.) |
Mon, 14 January 2013
In which Thom & Andru embrace a new DIY aesthetic, catch up on holiday happenings, assess the vowels and hairstyles of their Rocky Mountain motherland, recount video game failings both classic and contemporary, and jaw over a grip of recent movie releases (including Skyfall, Could Atlas, Looper, and Django Unchained) with special guest Bernie Bregman of Nerds Like Us. |
Mon, 26 November 2012
In which Thom & Andru valiantly attempt to keep the studio gear functioning while saying goodbye to New Dissident Radio with the help of Ingrid Oliansky, Travis Coleman, and a few regular callers, as well as the musical accompaniment of Robbie Rist, Chris Jackson, and John Borack. In classic show form, pop culture is pondered, superenthusiasts are celebrated (or at least acknowledged with a minimum of heckling) and in a rare on-mission twist, tech is actually tackled! Plus, the future of GifSpeak, the study of BondPeople, tales from the bleeding edge of the GooglePlex, and how to spot loose bricks in the Netflix wall. |
Mon, 12 November 2012
In which Thom finally settles down for a "real" interview with regular guest Robbie Rist, which barely scratches the surface of Rob's childhood acting adventures before evolving rapidly into a philosophical evaluation of all things pop culture, from shark-jumping to double-dip nostalgia, to vain attempts to engineer creativity and control one's own noise in a post-heroic age. Yeah, it's that kind of show. Get some. |
Mon, 5 November 2012
In which Thom & Andru join forces with Chris Jackson of ACME Archives, Bernie Bregman of Nerds Like Us, and Matt Wrather of Overthinking It to weight in on the great conjunction between Disney and Lucasfilm, and what implications the intertwining of these two entities might have for the future of art, commerce, and various iterations thereof. Plus, valiant (if futile) stabs at specificity, objectivity, and natural segues! |
