After an open from the gracious Ron Glass, we are back for more PodCulture!

Andy sits in for Glenn this week, and Christina is back! They all look forward to the night’s screening of Serenity in a local indie theater. Andy’s been listening to podcasts while he’s working hard, expanding young minds in the classroom. Adam is burning vacation time, anticipating Halo Reach, and constructing his Halo helmet. While he’s fabricating, he’s been watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Warehouse 13 and Fringe (much to Christina’s glee). Christina had a wonderful time with her family on vacation, seeing Phantom of the Opera again…for the 19th time and celebrating her dad’s birthday. She and Miranda watched copious amounts of Spongebob and iCarly, and Christina has been sucked into the Silly Band phenomenon. Brad is preparing for Dragon Con and wishes to send out a huge thank you to Gary in Jacksonville for helping sort out the car. He is also getting geared up for a new podcast called The EurekaVerse podcast, planning to record episode zero at Dragon Con! Stay tuned for more!

Adam celebrates getting his Invisalign complete, and shows off his shiny new well-earned present to himself. From a family of shutterbugs, he shows off his Cannon Rebel T1I. The guys discuss advances in photographic technology. Jason has leant Adam his demo unit of the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S (being released on August 31) phone to try and show off. He does a side by side comparison between the Galaxy S and his HTC Evo, and is impressed by the screen quality of the Galaxy. Christina loves the size and shape and Brad recognizes the tough choice it would have been, had it been out earlier. Christina tells about her friend’s HTC Aria and the ease of track ball. Far less technical, but still cool, Christina talks about the newest addition to her Phantom of the Opera collection. She’s acquired the Japanese and Swedish cast recordings, and she regales them with the her story of front row seats. Brad talks of his Augen Tablet hacking and cracking, and adds four more Blackest Night Black Lantern figures to his collection.

Twizzlers Filled Twists are the Cuisine de Geek this week! Are they filled with perfect or with Pledge? Find out if it makes Andy’s face implode.

Special thanks to The Signal for their promo, The Bedlam Bards for “Theme Song Parody, and to the lovely Marian Call for her song, “It Was Good For You, Too”.

Glenn has fallen off the wagon and has resumed playing World of Warcraft! The guys discuss monopolization of the internet, and laptop lockdown.

Trollie Strawberry Puffs have invaded the studio and Geek Cuisine is on again!

Glenn is watching The Gates and Haven. While Haven is doing its best to pull of the Warehouse 13 vibe, he is preferring The Gates. For an old school shout out, he’s also watching Tru Calling on DVD. The guys discuss the Jason Priestly Kiss of Death. The gang lets him in on the hidden gem of Jericho.

Adam has been watching the IT Crowd, and appreciates all the little geek in-jokes. He has finished watching The Tick with all of Patrick Warburton’s awesomeness. Adam has Warehouse 13 lined up to watch, and Brad shares that it is the only show he watches as it airs. Brad loves the humor in the characters as well as the great gadgetry. Adam has found a special on Origami, called Between The Folds and has sparked a new light of creativity. Jason, suffering from PFCD (Post Firefly Cancellation Disorder), waited for a while before venturing into True Blood. The boys laud the Xbox 360 as a streaming device, even if you’re not a gamer. Jason has also watched The Book of Eli, and Andy appreciates the the closeness with the novel. Andy and Son of Freehold South are watching Avatar: The Last Airbender (the animated series) on Nickelodeon. Brad keeps trying to make the perfect storm of bad with (Ewe Boul) and (M. Night Shamylan). Andy and his wife are watching Dollhouse, and despite her reticence, she is absolutely taken with it. Aside from the World Cup, the couple are watching the second season of The Colony, and Andy takes stock of his boy scout skills. In Christina’s absence, Brad has been watching Speed Racer on blu ray. The boys discuss anime to film conversion and Andy praises Blood: The Last Vampire. Brad finally got around to Mission Impossible 3, and he and Christina have been watching the brilliant Steven Moffatt’s retelling of Sherlock. The pair have been watching True Blood, and Glenn talks about the special Lost book you can get with the box set from Best Buy.

In closing, the guys talk about the HTC Evo and the prospects for increased battery life. Glenn has pre-ordered the Call of Duty: Black Ops, Prestige Edition that comes with a radio controlled drone. Adam entices us to play Starcraft 2, and lets us in on the secret that he’s making his own Master Chief helmet. Jason suggests Just Cause 2 and looks forward to Force Unleashed. He has enjoyed this past series of Doctor Who and anticipates the new series of Torchwood. Andy reminds us that The Walking Dead will be an AMC series soon, and wishes Song of Fire and Ice would follow.
