PodCulture 90: Phantom of the Cloverfield – Part B

Get ready…get set…get guilty! Glenn brings us Big Bad Wolf for this week’s Guilty Pleasure!

Prezzies in the P.O. Box! Christina receives a treasure trove of magazines from Michael in Pennsylvania. She’ll be reading her new classic Doctor Who magazines, X-Files (she does the happy dance of joy about the movie) comics, Animag, and Starburst magazines. Thank you!! Gratitude abounds to Mark “Jayhawk”, for the custom dvd of “Voyage of The Damned”. You guys rock the Tardis!

These couch potatoes have been sliced and fried this week! Brad and Christina have watched the pilot of Sarah Connor Chronicles, but Glenn’s boycotting Fox. They both love Flash Gordon, but differ on their affection for Stargate Atlantis. Jayhawk created a monster, so the couple are hooked on Primeval, and welcome the first episode of series two. Nothing tops the season premiere of Torchwood this week. James Marsters plays the slimy, swaggering “big bad” we missed so much. Christina has pre-ordered the first series, and has a mini-rant about Amazon and Borders. She’s hooked on PBS, and mourns not being able to stay up to watch the Craig Ferguson show. Ashlee’s been watching Ghost Hunters International, and misses Jason and Grant. Christina suggests “Ghost Adventures”. Glenn’s bought Superman Returns on HD, Dragon Wars, War, The Darkman Trilogy, and Skinwalkers. Christina watched the first National Treasure before she sees the sequel. Ashlee’s bought Angry Video Game Nerd on dvd, and Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Geek Cuisine this week is Hershey NY Cheesecake Kisses.

In closing, tell us about how you felt about Cloverfield? What movies have you seen? Anything on dvd we should know about?

Promos come graciously from Slice of SciFi, the A.D.D. Cast, and Mike’s Hot Dish. Thank so much to musical guest Tom Smith for “Insert Geek Cliche Here”

PodCulture 89: Phantom of the Cloverfield – Part A

We welcome Ashlee, Jones Soda and Halo 3 Maven, back to the studio!

The bulb in Glenn’s hella-huge tv went out, Ashlee’s bought the first season of Stargate SG-1, and playing Call Of Duty 4 or Halo 3. Brad talks about Bioshock, and Glenn’s getting back into Mass Effect. Christina finally has a game! She’s living out her director fantasy in “The Movies” for the PC. Brad’s happy to have released his first episode of The GeekSpin, and we entreat our listeners to suggest their favorite pod-safe geek music.

Brad and Christina review the performance of “The Phantom of the Opera”, and she’s still wanting to see Sweeney Todd.

Everyone talks about Cloverfield. (For those keeping track who don’t want to be spoiled, skip from the 18 minute mark to the 30 minute mark) We talk about the previews for Iron Man, Hellboy II:The Golden Army, Jumper, and Star Trek. Brad regales us how Christina tortured him with fancy salad.

We geek and we tell! Glenn’s got his new Illidan Stormrage WoW action figure, we talk about Viewmasters, and the movie Five Deadly Venoms. Brad and Christina go on a hunt for printer ink and end up coming home with a 500GB external hard drive, a memory card for Christina’s phone, two Torchwood books, and the Heroes novel, Saving Charlie. Brad talks about swapping one of his games for Beautiful Katamari for the XBox 360, the greatness of Browncoats. and Star Wars: Allegiance by Timothy Zahn. We’ve also picked up a future Guilty Pleasure in the form of “The Adventures of Young Van Helsing” on dvd Ashlee tells us about the webcomics she’s reading, including “Ctrl+Alt+Del” and “Geebas on Parade”. She shows off her swanky Kotobukiya Master Chief, and awaits her Companion Cube.

We drown our sorrows in chocolate and coffee with Twix Java for this week’s Geek Cuisine.
