PodCulture 88: New Year Same Geeks – Part 3

Hail to the sugar gods, as we begin this episode with Geek Cuisine! We’ve got Tootsie Roll Holiday Mini-Chews, Christina enjoys her SoBe Lifewater, and the gang discusses sugar versus non-sugar.

We wrap up our Christmas booty as Brad talks about the Justice League PS2 controller from Christina’s parents. Christina got him The Sontaran Experiment to add to the Doctor Who shelf. Also, John Barroman themed presents in the revival recording of Grease, Putting It Together and Shark Attack 3: Megalodon on dvd. Christina has her giddy moment showing off the Sweeney Todd: In Concert and original black and white Sweeney Todd dvds.  Brad’s picked up the Wii Zapper with Link’s Crossbow Training, Bioshock, Star Trek Legacy, Lost Planet and Rainbow Six: Vegas. Glenn’s picked up Spider-Man 3, but has yet to play it, and Christina’s brother introduces her to Carnival Games for the Wii. Glenn’s got Bullet Witch, Assassins Creed and Mass Effect. We discuss whether or not we’ll go see Be Kind Rewind. Brad’s crowning joy is his new 360 Elite, and we dread the news about Warner Bros. going to Blu-Ray. Brad and Christina are enjoying TVersity software to stream video from the computer to the Xbox 360. The boys talk about the crapness of Xbox Live at Christmastime.

In closing the trio talk about doctor appointments, jury duty and voting. All pretty painful!

Thanks so very much to The Babylon Podcast for their promo, and The Brobdingnagian Bards for their song, “Exclamations”.

PodCulture 87: New Year Same Geeks – Part 2

We hope one of your New Year’s resolutions includes gobs of guilt! Glenn opens this episode with “Hatchet” as his Guilty Pleasure! When a movie makes Glenn go “Ewww!”, you know it’s gotta be gross! Christina challenges Glenn with Blood Feast, a Guilty Pleasure she was forced to watch in high school.

Glenn’s happy about Dragon Wars coming to dvd, and we talk about blatant product promotion in movies. He’s looking forward to Sunshine on dvd (not to be confused with the Ralph Fiennes film, “Sunshine”). The three are excited by Cloverfield, and speculate about the movie title. Glenn’s picked up the first two in The Mummy series on HD and anticipates the new sequel. He’s also picked up Jet Li’s War and Stardust. Brad and Christina have watched Smallville, and are looking forward to the return of James Marsters. Christina’s suffering from post-anesthesia amnesia, and is giddy about the return of The Phantom of The Opera. She geeks for a bit, and Glenn (and his dad) anticipate 3:10 To Yuma.

Geek Cuisine eeks out another last drop of Christmas with Candy Cane Hershey Kisses.

Thanks to FarPoint Recap for their promo, The Signal for their Sci-Fi Review on the Star Wars Trilogy and Firefly, Tee Morris for Morevi: Remastered, and to Scott Rose for his song, “The Caulk Sucker”.
