PodCulture 216: TARDIS Interruptus – Vol. 3

We are without Glenn this week, so what happens when Brad, Christina and Adam are left to their own devices? Tighten your trainers, it’s Tardis Interruptus!

Adam opens with an awful lot of running in the heat, and he has joined Christina in watching 30 Rock. Christina is loving the show, and talks about an article she has found about the characters. She and Brad have watched the Syfy mini-series, Phantom, and while she enjoyed it, he has issues with the interpretation. They are all anticipating…with horror…Sharktopus. Christina is giddy that she will be seeing The Phantom of the Opera with her mom soon, and defends her film collection. Brad has won a free download of Deadliest Warrior on Xbox Live, and while he’s grateful for the gift, he was let down by the actual game. Christina downloaded the trial of Monkey Island game on the 360, and while she loves the story and characters, she prefers the game play on the PC.

Glenn returns to share Geek Cuisine, and brings us limited edition Lightening Thief Airheads.

The Time Traveling Trio geek in depth, about the 2009 Doctor Who special, The Waters of Mars. Each discusses what their favorite parts were and why. Having seen the completed tenure of Tennant, they muse how his character has grown and the scope he plays within during this special. Did the special leave you thirsty for more, or with a dry taste in your mouth? Let us know!

In closing, we suggest watching classic episodes of Doctor Who, 30 Rock and IT Crowd. Adam reminds us to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender (the series), and he is thrilled that a follow up series, “The Legend of Kora” is in the works. Brad has found an app so he can play Divx and Xvid files on his phone. Christina covets Bernard Cribbins for her grandfather, and shares the fact that he is a singer as well.

The band, Chameleon Circuit, has brought us the song, “An Awful Lot of Running” from their self-titled album. From the album Trock On! (A Collection of Who Inspired Songs), we have “Who Turned Out The Lights”, by Harriet Jones and the Former Prime Ministers and “My Name is John Smith (I Am The Doctor)”, by The Lonely Traveler.

PodCulture 215: It’s Naughty Time! – Part B


Welcome back, our Geeklings!

We jump right into the bag of goodies this week, with Geek Cuisine! Our friend, Nick, sent us Doritos First and Second Degree Burn flavors to try! Find out who’s setting off alarms, who’s reaching for the milk and who is hungry for more! Christina makes a contribution to Geek Cuisine with her sugar free orange cream Tums.

Get the popcorn and blanket and get ready to watch some TV. Adam shares his new found love for the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. He delves into the series, the art and the characters. We discuss the feature film and how M. Night Shyamalan’s career has progressed, for better or worse. Adam has seen Toy Story 3 in 3-D, and he shakes his fist at studios who try to upscale 2-D movies. They compare the visual spectacle of Avatar and await the re-release in the fall. Brad and Christina have found and caught up with the FX series Justified, and although it makes Christina a little unsettled to live in the Bluegrass State, the pair enjoyed it immensely. Brad introduced Christina to Dark Angel, and she makes the comparison to Dollhouse. Christina’s newest love is 30 Rock, and after a week, she’s finished with the first season. Glenn has been watching The Gates, and he is enjoying the improvement from episode to episode. He is an avid watcher of the new series, Haven and has even set his phone alarm to remind him to record. Brad and Christina missed the premiere of Warehouse 13, but having watched Stargate Continuum, share the story of the kindness of Cliff Simon. Christina is in geek heaven, now that series 4 of The I.T. Crowd has started, and converts episodes to watch on her phone. Glenn tells us that he’s finally found Dexter, and both he and Adam entice Brad and Christina to start watching. Finally, Christina praises the networks streaming content online, and Brad offers a solution to downloading issues.

Care to supersize your Geek Cuisine? We’ve got a second round this week! Glenn brings us York Peppermint Pattie Pieces. After the burnination of the first round, the brilliant coolness of York makes us a quartet of happy geeks. The gang shares stories of epic spilling of beverages, completed by Brad’s Big Red Incident of 2010.

In conclusion, Glenn is looking forward to seeing The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, and everyone is anticipating The Expendables. Adam says to go watch the animated Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Christina asks for everyone’s top five Netflix queue lists.
