Christina is called on to begin this week’s episode of PodCulture and she is all tapped out of geek for the moment. Glenn leads the boys off with lamenting the airing of the Olympics putting all of his favorite shows on a break. Adam has been animating, and earning Commander rank in Star Trek Online, when he hasn’t been at work. Glenn is giving his wings a workout in Aion and making more progress watching Charmed. Christina continued her streak of un-Valentiney Valentine’s Days, but enjoyed her company. Adam spent “Singles Awareness Day” making dinner for family and putting on his Sunday clothes for Wall-E. Glenn eagerly awaits the Aion expansion while he works his wings off during ratings month. Speaking of updates, Brad and Adam are appreciating all the great work going into Star Trek Online. Adam is putting his own hard work in on The Bellflower project. Glenn has picked up MAG, comparing it somewhat with Battlefield: Bad Company, and the guys discuss multiplayer games. Brad brings up the multiplayer issues, and bad respawn points, in Star Trek Online, as well as the good and bad voice work in the game.

Wouldn’t you like to be a pepper, too? Our Geek Cuisine this week is Heritage Dr. Pepper, and Thomas Kemper’s Orange Cream Soda gets an honorable mention.

We review Zombieland. From Columbus to Tallahassee, all the way to Wichita, and back to the place where everybody knows your name, we discuss the best and grossest parts of the movie. Find out how it compares to the Left 4 Dead games, and if it pales in comparison to Shaun of the Dead, or leaves it in the dust. Glenn shares another Woody Harrelson gem, Defendor.

We close with Christina’s excitement over tickets to see Wicked when it comes back to town, and Glenn’s run in with the law at the store.

Strap on your hats, girls and geeks! We’ve got an explosion of non-stop randomness!

Adam opens the show with his misadventures going to see the shuttle Endeavor launch. From humble beginnings in an old abandoned church to freezing in Florida, he has a set of unforgettable memories, even if none of those involve the actual shuttle launch. We discuss the loss of the space program, while Brad and Glenn talk about Jerry Doyle’s podcast and politics.

Glenn is working hard, but he has found time to watch the mid-season finale of Fringe. Christina lets him in on the latest show in-joke. He has caught up with Vampire Diaries, and is making his way through his revisit of Charmed.

Christina is hopelessly in love with The IT Crowd. (If she’s wrong about who sent us the dvds, please let her know, and she will most humbly apologize). She also started watching The Inbetweeners, and hopes she’s wrong in her unpleasant first impression.

Brad shares the nightmare of the bathroom ceiling exploding…again…! The gang discuss the general suckiness of Valentine’s Day, and the perils of living in a usually unplowed neighborhood in the winter. Brad begins the story of going to Gamestop, while Christina teases the boys with a line from Coupling. He shows off the extra spiffy version of Bioshock 2. The gorgeous art deco style art, the eerie music, and truly original gameplay make it ingeniously entertaining for the player and anyone watching.

Adam and Brad are still working their way up the ranks in Star Trek Online, and are enjoying the ever expanding array of worlds and
updates. Adam shares the story of how the game explains the evolution in the look of the Klingons.

Glenn is back in to the breech of World of Warcraft, and he shares all the Valentine’s Day themed extra surprises that the game offers. He has been taking advantage of the double XP weekend in Aion. He is enjoying the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier game, and the access to the online beta with Splinter Cell. They’re looking forward to Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Adam shares that they’ve played the Firefly theme song on the international space station, which reminds Christina how much she hates spoilers. Brad adds that Sam Trammel has been added to the Dragon Con guest list!
