PodCulture 147: Full 1080 Geek – Part B

Welcome back to another superheroic episode of PodCulture!

We open this week discussing the movie The Spirit, released April 14th, which we were lucky enough to get a preview copy of. Find out what made us laugh, made Christina groan, and what grades everyone gives it. Have you seen it? Let us know what you think?

Geek Cuisine turns into Geek Cuisine Labs with Mana Energy Potion mixed with Mountain Dew Voltage

Get ready to get your game on girls and geeks! Glenn’s playing the new Bond game, Call of Duty World at War, Battlefield: Bad Company, and is looking forward to its sequel. Brad, Christina and Adam talk about games for the iPod and iPhone, including Zombieville USA, Wolfenstein 3D, Imagine Poker and Monopoly Here and Now. Brad’s got Halo Wars, and Glenn’s playing Guild Wars. Brad and Christina have signed up for a Gamefly membership, and have played and/or bought Phantasy Star Portable, Sims Kingdom, Singstar Abba, Streetfighter 4, and Little Big Planet (stay tuned on that last one, folks!). We talk about customizable, community content, and request those musically inclined to upload a version of the PodCulture theme song to Guitar Hero World Tour! Tell us what you like about games you can upload custom content for?  Suggest some games for us to rent from Gamefly! Try a membership for yourself, and check out some weird games!

In closing, Glenn talks about the tea parties across the country in honor of tax day. What will you use your return for?

The promos this week include How To Grow Your Geek, Galactica Quorum, and Marc Gunn’s Irish Celtic Music Podcast.

PodCulture 146: Full 1080 Geek – Part A

Get out the 3-D glasses, and join us in the PodCulture Theater for this week’s episode!

Glenn begins by sharing that he’s finishing watching Buffy, and has always enjoyed Once More With Feeling. Adam’s taken some time off, enjoying some 3-D modeling, playing (and beating) Mirror’s Edge, and building a computer with his brother as a birthday present. The boys talk about various geek rights of passage, and Christina also wishes her beautiful sister, Miranda, a happy 13th birthday. Guaranteed to blow your mind, Christina relished the concert One Night of Queen, starring the amazing Gary Mullen and The Works. The pair are watching Dollhouse, Big Bang Theory and the trio talk about timey-wimey things from Lost.

Future meets past as the gang talks books from The Kindle to the time travelly goodness of Doctor Who books. Brad’s added The Doctor Who Encyclopedia, The Doctor Trap, Ghosts of India, Shining Darkness and The Eyeless to his Tardis shelf. The Torchwood books, including Trace Memory, Pack Animals and Skypoint join them, and Christina’s pride and joy is the interactive Doctor Who Time Travels book. What do you think about books going paperless? Is it “green” or ghastly? Write us or call us!

Adam provides  Mana Energy Potion for this week’s hyper-hypo Geek Cuisine!

Glenn gives us the scary and subtitled Day Watch and Night Watch pair of Guilty Pleasures.

Brad talks about the newest addition to the PodCulture Theater; their new 47 inch Vizio flat screen HDTV, christening it with both Serenity and Prince Caspian.

Promos come graciously from The Babylon Podcast, The Signal, What the Cast and The British Invaders Podcast.
