PodCulture 145: Ass Tablets

Don’t let the Sham Wow guy mop up after this week’s episode of PodCulture!

Glenn’s been in cartoon superhero Wonder(woman)land, watching the spangled siren and Hulk vs Thor and Hulk vs Wolverine. Adam’s been playing Mirror’s Edge on the PC and Master Chief in real life at a gun range. Christina’s enjoying a kind of magic, looking forward to One Night of Queen. Brad’s keeping up with their usual roster of shows, and trying to get the season opener of Primeval to play.

Brad remembers the wonderful Joe Murphy on the anniversary of his passing, and we proudly play Mason Rocket by Beatnik Turtle.

They came, they geeked, they told. Christina regales the things she brought back from Cleveland, including a couple of Invader Zim shirts from Hot Topic, and the Phantom music box and Vampire Slayer Kit from her parents. Brad’s got a Fantastic Four zombies shirt, as well as Final Crisis and Hellboy shirts. The pair have brought another koala into the fold, and you’ll just have to listen to find out why Adam is doing the macarena. Brad’s added a set of Green Lantern buttons and a Justice League International G’Nort figure to his volumes of verdigris. New Death Stroke and Hawkman figures find room on his shelves, and a Battlestar Galactica Anders figure reminds them of Fox Mulder. Glenn’s been good this week, and Adam shows off his fantastic sonic screw driver, telling us about his CG model Tardis.

Geek Cuisine finds Fizzies Root Beer Drink Tablets bubbling in our tummies. Find out what happens when Adam puts one in his mouth, and find out what he says to have it (nearly) out Brad’s nose.

Glenn’s Guilty Pleasure has altitude this week, with Flight Of The Living Dead. Christina questions the Old Greg videos her brother suggests on You Tube.

In honor of Joe, we close with the lewd, but much loved, First of May by Jonathan Coulton. The promo this week is for the one and only Kick Ass Mystic Ninjas.

PodCulture 144: The Twilight of Galactica

In this episode the PodCulture crew is joined by two very special guests!  Christina’s coworker and friend Elizabeth joins in on the fun, while Farpoint Media regular Jack Jaffee of www.jackandtheresa.com rolls into the studio as well.

As this is yet another set of lazy shownotes by Brad here are the highlights:

SPOILER ALERT!!!

Christina and Elizabeth lead off with a discussion review of the movie Twilight and its recent DVD release.  Please note that Christina has had Brad bound, gagged, and duct taped to his chair so that he can’t heckle during the segment.

MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT!!!

After that the gang all join in and share their thoughts (both good and bad) about the Battlestar Galactica series finale.

Musical guests for this episode are:

Life In the Fleet by Devo Spice (featuring Carrie Dahlby)

Battlestar Rhapsody by the great Luke Ski
