In which Thom & Andru enumerate the many differing types of personal bond that humans develop to technology, while swapping stories of home computer evolution, trying to make sense of the latest Netflix weirdness, speculating on the future of The House That Steve Built, and reviewing Real Steel. Also, the latest in Andru's Trek Revisited, and Thom is drowning in TiVo-land. Again. Still. Whatever. |
Mon, 3 October 2011
In which Thom & Andru spend a wibbly wobbly timey wimey hour with Ingrid Oliansky and Joshua Friedman, talking all things Whovian. With the sixth season of the current series wrapped up and the show's 50th anniversary on the way, what does the future (or the past, or present, for that matter) hold for our dear Doctor? Also, thoughts on sci-fi growing up with its audience, a semi-review of Terra Nova, and the iPhone incident that inspired tonight's show title. |
Mon, 26 September 2011
In which Thom & Andru split a box of Red Vines withactor/musician/man of a jillion voices Quinton Flynn, and proceed to hold court on Facebook fashions, Netflix nuisances, Anime adventures, tales from the set of MegaSpider (or…whateverthey end up calling it) and, of course, classic movie candy. Also, relativelyspoiler-free reviews of Moneyball and Drive. |
Mon, 19 September 2011
In which Thom & Andru are joined by the multi-talented, hyper-loquacious Robbie Rist on the subjects of post-modern entropy, comedic etymology, regionalism vs tribalism, and the daunting challenge that artists face in separating the demons from the angels. It's a fairly heady stew, but we also have the soft chewy center of South Park and the badassery of Peter Dinklage --both on screen and off -- for pudding, so dig in! |
Mon, 12 September 2011
In which Thom & Andru take part in the radio equivalent of a bottle episode, flying solo (well, duo) and divesting themselves of nerdy detritus and cleansing their pop culture palates in an attempt to distract themselves from the disappointment of missing the 30th anniversary screening of Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Highlights include: paintball on movie sets, the history of leeches, tips for navigating Los Angeles, plot twist fatigue, the evolution of video distribution, the endless feedback loop between media and society, and the latest ups and downs of the fanboy roller coaster that is the upcoming Star Wars Blu-ray release. |
Mon, 5 September 2011
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.
