PodCulture 58: Winner Geeks All – Part B

Put your Geek Guilt in hyperactive hyperdrive! Glenn’s Guilty Pleasure this week is the Japanese gem of mammary mayhem, “Big Boobs Buster“.

Our listeners are reminded about the PodCulture Transformers Armada contest. Submit your ideas for what the Culture Cruiser Cavalier Transformer would be. Check out the link on the site for the Wing Command contest from Electronic Arts and FarPoint Media.

Prezzies in the P.O. Box! John from Sofa Dogs sent a plethora of fabulous prezzies! Brad gets a “Wolfman’s Got Nards” t-shirt quoting the movie “Monster Squad“, and John Hughs’ “Reach The Rock“. Glenn receives “Nothing” and “Night of the Creeps” on dvd. Christina is in giddy geek glory with her plush Gir from Invader Zim, and the IFC Greg The Bunny: Best of the Film Parodies.

Geek ‘n Tell finds Christina still knee deep in Webkinz. Brad shows off his Autobot and PodCulture vinyl stickers for the car, both from Custom Vinyl Decals. The Transformers collection grows with mini Unicron and Optimus figures, a Bumblebee for Christina’s desk, Ratchet, Clocker, Skyblast, and Barricade. Brad’s got the X-Port for hard drive data
swapping between the 360 and your pc. Glenn’s picked up a 13 inch, DC Direct Superman figure.

Thanks so very much to Traci for our Geek Cuisine this week! Carnival Skittles!

We include the skit, “Skiffy Turrets”, and close with having seen Transformers a second time, along with Harry Potter, and looking forward to Star Trek: Undiscovered Country at the Baxter. Glenn’s excited about the relaunch of the Thor comic, and fearful of the Green Hornet film. The trio conclude with thoughts on Harry Potter-Order of the Phoenix.

Two special promos include Chuck Tomasi’s (from ChuckChat.com) charity event for the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, and the Blood Drive For Joe at Dragon Con.

Our musical interlude this week comes from Beatnik Turtle, the perfectly appropriate for PodCulture Central, “What’s Going On Upstairs”.

PodCulture 57: Winner Geeks All – Part A

The Culture Crew is introduced this week by Firefly’s beloved Shepherd Book, Ron Glass.

Between office work and dental work, Brad and Christina have been busy bunnies, and Glenn is happy to return to raiding in World of Warcraft. Christina notes that she heard someone in the lobby coffee shop humming the PodCulture Theme.

Glenn’s been playing Stalker:Shadow of Chernobyl, and buying flash drives for his Ready Boost on Vista. Brad picked up Transformers for the 360, Resident Evil 4 for the Wii. Glenn’s looking forward to Bioshock, (which he likens to Mon-El of Superman cannon) Soul Calibur 4, and Halo 3, and has reserved a copy of Crysis. Christina is still hooked on Webkinz, and eagerly awaits MySims for the Wii.

PodCulture announces its first contest! Win the Transformers Armada dvd! If the Culture Cruiser (a blue 2005 Chevy Cavalier) happened to be a Transformer (either Autobot or Decepticon), what would it be? E-mail us at: CONTEST (at) PodCulture.net with a Transformer name and/or character description, and be entered in the contest! The winner will be announced August 5th.

Our geekness takes a musical turn this week, as we discuss what we’ve been singing along with. Brad’s bought Jeremy Camp’s “Beyond Measure”, “Saturday Morning Cartoons Greatest Hits”, and “Selected Hits” by Collin Raye, then we mention his song,“Love, Me”. Glenn has downloaded some videos, including Emma Bunton’s “Downtown” cover, and we discuss the merits of downloading music and videos. Christina’s listening to Scissor Sisters, thanks to both BBCAmerica, and Doctor Who. Glenn finds that T’Pau making a comeback.

Geek Cuisine is Jelly Belly Soda Shoppe jelly beans, and they wash it all down with Diet Pepsi Max and Jolt Cola.

Thanks to Beatnik Turtle for the PodCulture Theme and incidental music.

Promos include J.C. Hutchins 7th Son podio book, Geek Cred, and Borderline (listen for cameos by the PodCulture Crew)!
