PodCulture 177: The Zombie Waters of Geek – Part A

Christina opens this week, talking about the loveliness of Netflix streaming, she’s in nerd heaven. She is taking her exercise classes, and wonders about the conductivity of electricity of a little geek girl. Adam is drowning in the extras on the Star Trek blu-ray, and spent his day at home 3-D modeling a gorgeous light-filled room. Glenn has been dipping his toe in the deep pool of Fringe, and is spending every other waking moment playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Christina has finally watched The Ghost Hunters “Waverly Sanatorium” episode during her waking moments in the middle of the night. Brad has become his own kind of zombie playing Left 4 Dead 2 into the wee hours.

Tell me, Doctor, where are we going this time? Brad, Adam and Christina discuss the latest Doctor Who special, The Waters of Mars. We’re spoiling you left and right, so if you wish to remain uninfected, skip between the 14 minute mark to the 30 minute mark. We give you a plot synopsis, our opinions about his “companion” for this story, and our hypotheses for the next special, The End of Time. What scares Christina? What intrigues Adam? Who do the boys find hot?

Geek Cuisine is decking the halls, as the gang enjoys new Now and Later flavored candy canes.

Thank you to The 9th: A Heroes Podcast for their promo.

Our music this week is Christina’s favorite song by Chameleon Circuit, “Exterminate, Regenerate”

PodCulture 176: Invasion of the Space Lizards – Part B

Welcome back, Geeklings! Christina opens with the things we’re looking forward to!

We’re counting the days until Waters of Mars comes out, and we’re torn between being excited to see it and dreading the end of David
Tennant’s run as The Doctor. Brad and Christina talk about his appearance on The Sarah Jane Adventures. They’re enjoying the banter
between Mr. Smith and K-9, and Christina warns you of the heart-breakitude of the episode.

We’re geeking and cuisining! It’s Cotton Candy Pop Rocks!

What are geeks if not gamers? Adam talks about Borderlands and Dragon Age: Origins. Christina talks about an article she read about playing video games being “couples therapy”. Do you play with your significant other? Does it serve as “bonding time” with your family? Tell us! Christina is experimenting with easter eggs on Scribblenauts, and she shares some of the amusing finds. The boys talk about the Left 4 Dead 2 demo, and Adam gives us his in-depth review. Glenn gives it a pass for Wolfenstein, Flashpoint and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Brad is giving his Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 a break to experiment with his new OS Ubuntu 9.10.

In closing, the gang anticipates the beginning of the holiday season. Will you be going out for Black Friday or will you shop in front of
the computer in your jammies? Glenn thanks the fan that gave him a copy of Night of the Creeps, and shows off his dvd from Amazon.
Christina is happy to have found Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Pumpkin Who Couldn’t Smile online. Glenn beseeches the audience to find him a copy of Gozilla versus Megalon. Brad and Christina have signed up for Netflix, so suggest away, dear listeners!
