PodCulture 71: Tricks and Treats – Part B

After an introduction by Fright Fest headliner, Michael Berryman, we jump into the next creepy episode of PodCulture!

Ashleigh is still with us, so we begin our Great Geeking with games. Halo 3, Orange Box and Half Life 2, and Lost Planet.

Ashleigh talks about Halo 3, and Glenn goes into intense hyper-hypo geekmode with the holidays, WoW style. From Brewfest to Hallowsend, he shares some of the quirks and hidden gems of World of Warcraft.

Let the holiday season begin with the first Jones Soda special of 2007! We test Spider Cider, Lemon Drop Dead, Strawberry Slime, Gruesome Grape, Black Cat Licorice, Moster Mojito, and Dread Licorice! Which flavor nearly comes out of Ashleigh’s nose? Which flavor makes Brad pucker himself inside-out? Listen and find out!

The ghastly Guilty Pleasure this week is (The) War in Space!

Our spooky tunes this week come from Jonathan Coulton with “Creepy Doll”, and from Tom Smith with “Neckbolt Love”

In a world…filled with promos…ours include The Scapecast and The Babylon Podcast.

Don’t forget to enter our Karas: Revelation contest!

Have a very Merry Hallow, and a Happy New Ween!

PodCulture 70: Tricks and Treats – Part A

Trust no one except Tom Braidwood to introduce PodCulture this week!

Jones Soda Maven Ashleigh returns to the PodCulture studio, as Optimus Prime himself warns us of Glenn’s Decepticon presence!

Glenn’s finally finished Dangerman (Everyone say, “YAY!”), and is now watching Heroes (Everyone say, “FINALLY!”). Brad and Christina have been missing out on How I Met Your Mother, and still bemoan the loss of The Class. Ashleigh has returned from a Film Festival in NYC to honor the creator of “Drawn By Pain“, and talks about the Nintendo Store.

Aside from Dangerman, Glenn’s picked up The Reaping, Wrong Turn 2, 28 Weeks Later, and looks forward to Resident Evil 3. Brad and Christina have been watching Veggie Tales “Wizard of Ha’s”, Sarah Jane Adventures, Bionic Woman, Flash Gordon, Smallville, and Supernatural. Ashleigh, not a fan of a lot of tv, loves Ghosthunters.

Glenn gives an overview of Karas: The Prophecy just to remind you to enter the contest for Karas: The Revelation!

Thanks to our voicemail ladies this week! Debbie from Wingin’ It says “White and Nerdy” is her favorite geek song, and Traci from Sqeecast: Fangirls Unite tells us about Dies The Fire, by S.M. Sterling.

Geek ‘n Tell this week finds us, once again, knee deep in Transformers. Brad brings home several toys, and a 3D transformable gift card from Target. We’ve also got a Spi-Dog guarding the office, and Brad brings Christina a bucketful of Haloweenie goodness!

Ashleigh talks about the differences between the Legendary and Limited Editions of Halo 3, and can kick Brad’s butt in any of them.

Brad alerts Glenn to the HD sale at Best Buy, and Glenn dislikes that the only way to get Spiderman 1 & 2 on Blu-Ray was to buy the trilogy.

Thanks so much to The Obscure 80′s Podcast for their promotion!
