Sun, 27 May 2007 This week we find the geeksome threesome on the cusp of their 50th episode!
Glenn is making headway with his Dangerman boxed set, has picked up 4400 season 3, looks forward to Pirates of the Caribbean:At World's End, and Wonderfest here in Louisville. All that, but the siren song of World of Warcraft still beckons. Christina grimaces at the news that there is a Sims movie in the works, and Brad's been burning a hole in his Marvel Ultimate Alliance game disc. Glenn put aside his Alliance game for Ghost Recon and Halo 2. Geek Cuisine is a Raspberries & Cream Hershey bar. To keep Glenn spoiler-free, Brad and Christina kick him out of the studio while they discuss the power of three, both Series 3 of Doctor Who, and the 3 episodes of Drive. The most recent Who episode based on the novel by Paul Cornell has Christina noting the performances of Thomas Sangster, and Brad loves the appearance of Richard Brooks on Drive. They allude to a more in depth discussion of this months season (and series) finales, and look forward to catching up with Supernatural both the show and comic. Glenn returns, happy in the fact that he's picked up the Adventures of Superman on dvd, and liken the technology to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Christina looks forward to Monster Squad being released as a 20th Anniversary set. Brad and Christina talk about "42" of Doctor Who, and then Christina and Glenn geek about Zoolander. Brad introduces our new PodCulture Forums, and we lie SGL to rest for now. There is no Guilty Pleasure this week, but fear ye not, the next episode will require three times the penance! Promotions this week include The Who Cast, The Cup Car Update, and The Scapecast. Comments[0] |
Sun, 20 May 2007 After ratings month, Glenn returns to us with news that he's still
watching Lost, and the trio anticipate the season finale, and
contemplate the series end. Will it come to an annoying end like
Dallas or The Newhart Show? Is it better to have a finite end, or be
in limbo like Babylon 5? Noting Lost actors in other roles, we mention
Brick and Pulse.
Glenn has picked up Pan's Labyrinth and The Fountain, and we look forward to his reviews. That is if any of his free time remains after World of Warcraft and Wonderfest. Our geek toy segment has Randy from Geekshow.us reprising his role as Glenn, and talking about the new Transformers Movie swag. Christina shares the story of Brad bested by the Optimus preview figure, and gleams over the JLA and Flash shirts she found at Wal-Mart. Christina and Brad thank the guys and gals from the Geekshow universe for a fabulous weekend, and encourage our listeners to check us out in our guest spot on Geekshow's 50th episode. A HUGE THANK YOU to Jayhawk35 aka Mark for his Doctor Who, Primeval, Tripping The Rift, and Red Dwarf dvds! You're the best, Jayhawk! Comic talk this week finds Brad and Randy covering Green Lantern Corps #12, Amazing Spidergirl, New Avengers #30, Wonder Woman, JSA Classified-Green Lantern, Alex Ross' Justice, the final issue of 52, Fantastic Four, Runaways 25 & 26, Green Lantern #18, Justice Society of America, Supernatural:Origins, Astonishing X-Men, Ultimate Fantastic Four, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and Countdown. We discuss the idea of "cannon" versus "non-cannon" material in fandom, giving Buffy and George Lucas/Star Wars as an example. Get your guilt on this week with Glenn's review of the Asian Assassin flick called Beautiful Beast. FINALLY someone sent Glenn a dollar! Thanks to Cap'n Fatpants, aka Kevin, for Glenn's very own PodCulture dollar! The trio closes with respect for the Guitar Hero 2 players that we know ("Freebird!"). Promos this week come courtesy of The Kickass Mystic Ninjas, The Cup Car Update, and The Babylon Podcast. Comments[0] |
Sun, 13 May 2007 Brad and Christina happily welcome Randy from
GeekShow.us who was gracious enough to stand in for Glenn this
week!
We open with what's tickled our TV fancy this week. Randy gives us alternate insight into Heroes, and hypothesize on next season. We welcome the news that DOA is finally going to have a US release, and ruminate on the last few episodes of Doctor Who. Have we seen too much of the Daleks? To our Whovian friends, do you have a favorite Doctor Who villian? Continuing with tv talk, we share our thoughts on Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Raines, and Veronica Mars. Are we done with Mars Investigations? From Supernatural to Superman, we cover the Winchester brothers, and Smallville. The ghosts of shows past and future make an appearance as we discuss Nathan Fillion's short-lived Drive, and Summer Glau's soon-released Sarah Connor Chronicles. Geek Cuisine this time around is the English Nestle Drifter bar.Thumbs up all around! Thanks to The Signal this week for their Sci-Fi Review comparing Star Wars to Firefly.

Sun, 6 May 2007 Sorry for the delay in show notes. Christina had a craptastic week of
doctor (sadly not THE Doctor) visits, and she wasn't at her
notes-writing best. Kindly stepping into Glenn's working shoes this week is Indiana Jim from the Things Are Looking Up podcast.Jim shares his insight into Star Wars, and we talk about how George Lucas should (or shouldn't have) changed his movies. Discussing the evolution of special effects, we weigh the question of whether or not it benefits the movie, and serves the die-hard fans, to update effects in film. We debate the importance and placement of some of the more annoying characters in the Star Wars films, such as Jar Jar, and the Ewoks. Can knowing the backstory of a character such as Darth Vader change how we feel about them? Christina and Brad bring up Wicked by Gregory Maguire, and how the sympathy we fostered for The Wicked Witch has forever changed how we view The Wizard of Oz. Guilty Pleasures this week comes from Glenn's Sirens of Cinema magazine in the form of Hundra. The She-Ra to Conan's He-Man, it's a titan clashing good time. Geek Cuisine freezes our taste buds with Hot Tamales Ice. Promos this week come from Mason Rocket at the Joe Murphy Memorial, and in honor of Joe, our musical interlude is a harmony of podcasters performing Jonathan Coulton's "The First of May".

Sun, 29 April 2007 Welcome back to Geekland! We start this episode with Glenn's
lamentation about not being able to see the Spiderman 3 premiere
because of the Kentucky Derby, and Christina has spent her birthday
recovering from a pulled wisdom tooth.
Never fear, the fun returns as our trusty dvd players have been working overtime this week. Glenn's still watching Lost, and we discuss the action figures. He's bought Smokin' Aces, Deja Vu, and Night At The Museum, sparking a difference of opinions about Ben Stiller's talent. Christina mentions the sci-fi epic, Supervolcano. Brad and Christina have been watching Heroes, Doctor Who, and the Stargates. We discuss the annoyance of the breaks between shows like Battlestar Galactica and Torchwood, and Painkiller Jane is next to watch. Finishing up Justice League Unlimited sparks talk about the Aquaman pilot on the XBox 360, as well as the "Justice" episode of Smallville, and David Ogden Stiers playing Martian Manhunter in an ill-planned movie. Speaking of ill-planned, the trio agree that the casting of Matt Damon as Green Arrow in the in-the-works "Super Max". Matt Damon's movies Dogma, the Bourne trilogy, and Good Will Hunting get called to the stand. To complete the WTF factor this week, we say hello and goodbye to the Fox series, Drive, and despite the fabulousness of Annie Lennox and Josh Groban, question the sanity of the American Idol Empire. In our game worlds this week, we come up against Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the XBox 360, Ghost Recon, and Halo 2 maps newly available. Brad and Christina introduce Webkinz as their current favorite time spender, and Glenn's enjoying the interactivity of the Spiderman 3 site. Strap on your sweet tooth, and get ready for the post-Easter Geek Cuisine. We enjoy Cadbury's Orange Cream Eggs, Cadbury's Dark Chocolate Mini Eggs, and Vanilla Cream Hershey Kisses. *Christina's most humble apologies to Tabz for confusing the confectionery goodness she graciously mailed. Trust me, they're being thankfully enjoyed!* The promo this week comes courtesy of the Podcasting Track at Dragon Con this August (see you there!), and we thank Tabz from the FanTabzulous and Strangely Literal podcasts.

Sun, 22 April 2007 Prepare for your penance as this week's show opens
with Glenn's Guilty Pleasures! This time it's District B-13,
written by Luc Besson, of Fifth Element fame. The battle
between subtitles and dubbing wages on! Which do you prefer?
Reading subtitles and watching a film in its native language,
or hearing dubbing actors "interpret" a script?
New toys are abundant this week! Thanks to Browncoat Tabz (of the Fantabzulous and Strangely Literal podcasts), the boys have cool superhero and World of Warcraft toys. Not to be left out, Christina receives a cd from Adam Bush's band Common Rotation, and enough chocolate to make the Easter Bunny jealous. Thanks, also, to Mark "Jayhawk" for the Runaway Bride and Tom Baker's Sci-Fi quiz dvds, as well as episodes of Daybreak and Primeval. Thanks so much to the both of you! Toy talk continues with Brad's new Spider Spud, iRiver, and Motorola phone tools kit. Brad and Christina christen their new dvd rack with Batman Beyond season 3, Justice League season 2, Jackie Chan Miracles, Teen Titans:Trouble in Tokyo, and Leroy & Stitch. Not to be called couch potatoes, they also picked up books including Jim Butcher's Dresden novels Storm Front and Fool Moon, Scott Sigler's Ancestor, the final novel in the Left Behind series, Kingdom Come, and the heartbreaking Velveteen Rabbit. Brad gives Christina an autographed photo of Mary Mcdonnell, and picks up the new Trace Atkins cd. Glenn's bought The Protector, the newest in the Mon- Sieur Bome collection of figures (this time it's Kasumi of DoA fame), and discusses the loss of his decade-long pony tail, donated to Locks of Love, while Shane shows off his new pick. In closing, we look forward to the remake of Barbarella by De Laurentis, and the Supernatural:Origins comic. Christina is even more excited than usual by the recently aired episode of Doctor Who, which filmed in Shakespeare's Globe. The promo this week graciously given by The Better Late Than Never Podcast. Music this week by The Great Luke Ski, entitled It Takes Who. Comments[1] |
Sun, 15 April 2007 The Geeksome threesome returns with their special guest, Shane!
We begin with our week in geek with what we've been up to. Glenn's finally watching Lost, more Dangerman and, to Shane's happiness, the first season of 24. We discuss Keifer (once a vampire), and Donald (once a Watcher) Sutherland. Glenn's playing Ghost Recon-Advanced Warfighter 2, while Chrisitna is addicted to the simple Chicken Invaders 2 on MSN.com. Brad weaves the epic tale of the ill-timed death of the Culture Cruiser's battery, and Shane mourns the illness of his brand new HD television from Buy.com Our DVD players overfloweth this week. Glenn's watching Children of Men, Lost, and Dangerman, while pining for the Space 1999 set. Brad and Christina talk (spoiler free) about the series finale of Stargate: SG-1. The three discuss Casnio Royale, both pro and con, and even about the James Bond comic by Mike Grell. We cover Justice League Unlimited and Batman beyond, and the awesomeness of John Glover's voice. On a similar note, we discuss the new "remake" genre with TMNT, as well as the upcoming Astroboy and Gatchaman movies. Christina has a flashback to her childhood adoration of The Greatest American Hero. Did you have a show you watched when you were young? If you've seen it again recently, is it as good as you remember, or are you trying to figure out why the heck you enjoyed it in the first place? Let us know! Geek Cuisine this week is Orange Creme Hershey Kisses. Promos this week come graciously from Cup Car Update, and Indiana Jim (from the Things Are Looking Up podcast) for the Dragon Hearth podcast.

Sun, 8 April 2007 After a silent week in respect for the passing of our friend and fellow podcaster, Joe Murphy, The Culture Crew returns to pay one more tribute. A very special Geek Cuisine incorporates two of Joe's favorite sources of sugar. We've got four varieties of root beer: Thomas Kemper, Hank's, Stewarts, and Abita. Combine those with the fantastic Australian Violet Crumble candy bar, and you can practically hear our teeth ache! Our musical guests for this tribute are two of Joe's favorite geeky songs, Skullcrusher Mountain from the fabulous Jonathan Coulton, and Scott Bakula by Sunspot Music. Finally, a song written especially in Joe's honor. Enjoy Mason Rocket by the brilliant band, Beatnik Turtles. We'll be back next week with our normal doses of geektainment. Comments[0] |

Sun, 25 March 2007 After an introduction by Jack from Wander Radio, the triad of geekdom returns! This week starts of with the boys and their spoils from the comic shops. They discuss Civil War, the life (and death?) of Captain America, and whether or not Punisher will take up the shield. We all welcome Buffy Season 8 comic, as we try to convince Glenn to actually watch the end of season 7! We continue with Stephen King's Dark Tower, Civil War-The Confession, Wonder Woman #5, New Avengers #28, Green Lantern Corps #10, Battlestar Galactica, Amazing Spider Girl #6, 52-Week 45, Toyfar Magazine, Doctor Who Magazine (and the audio books by Big Finish) and Image Comics Invincible. Christina is horrified by the Ghost Rider action figures, and Brad gets a smile out of the Marvel Super Hero Squad Punisher/Ghost Rider pack. Geek Cuisine this week is a case of curiosity killing the appetite, as our guests, Ashlee and Todd, request the...um..."experience" of the Jones Soda holiday extravaganza of a few months back. Want to know what exactly Ashlee did for a dollar? Listen, and find out! Glenn gets us into the post-apocalyptic guilt of Zardoz for this installment of Guilty Pleasures. We discuss the work of Sean Connery, and John Boorman of Excalibur and Deliverance fame. Glenn likens the film to the novel Dancers At The End Of Time by Michael Moorcock, and leaves us with the riddle of the origin of Zardoz title. Promos this week are courtesy of The Strangely Literal Podcast, and Doctor Who Podshock.

Ashlee joins in, discussing a webcomic she's been following, called Drawn By Pain. Glenn supports our dvd-watchers across the pond with his newly-purchased Dangerman, and The Prisoner DVD sets. Brad and Christina have picked up Veggie Tales: Moe and The Big Exit, the second season of Stargate Atlantis (oddly, with much commentary by SG-1 star Gary Jones), Casino Royale, and the precariously packaged Sliders: Season 1 & 2. Glenn's happy with his new Guyver 3 dvd, while Brad & Christina are struggling to catch up with their usual fare of The Class, How I Met Your Mother, and Battlestar Galactica, and are counting down the days until Doctor Who returns. Ashlee finds quality content in abundance on the internet, and mentions Red vs. Blue as a favorite. We entreat our fans to guilt Glenn into watching Heroes, now that he's FINALLY catching up with Lost. Todd discusses some of the popular castaways. Got a Lost character you'd love to rescue, or one you'd like to see locked in a hatch forever? E-mail us! Stuart provides us with his first (of many, we hope) submission of "Stuart's Sci-Fi Classics", with the unsinkable James Cameron's "The Abyss". Todd and Ashlee wish PodCulture a happy 40th episode by supplying Geek Cuisine in the form of a Dairy Queen ice cream cake. Karen from Kalifornia gets a giggle out of Glenn with her submission "You Know You've Been Playing World of Warcraft Too Much When..." Toy Talk is a special one! The PO Box had Glenn's name written all over it this week with Action Figure News & Toy Review, and Sentai magazines from listener Mike, both featuring Guyver. Brad picked up a classic Battlestar Galactica ship at Wal-Mart, while Christina adds two new Build A Bears to the count. Brad goes on to tug at our childhood heartstrings with the epic hunt for his long lost bears, that after thirty years, a little help from Christina, and the magic of Ebay, has a very happy ending. Do you have a story about a lost childhood toy, or one about a beloved stuffed animal you've managed to hang onto? Tell us! Promos this week come courtesy of the boys at Two Geeks, A Mic, And A Podcast. Comments[0] |

of kickass women while Brad and Christina encourage him to buy the 3rd
series of Angel in order to appreciate Amy Acker.

They note the classic Willy Wonka versus Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as well as Johnny Depp's performance inspiration past, present, and future.

The conversation turns to mysteriously-present-during-murder characters such as Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote, and Sam and Dean of Supernatural. Continuing, they speak about War Games, The Producers, and the "new groovy" series Rules of Engagement. Finallly, they wrap up the week with the upcoming Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and the soon-to-be released second season of Justice League Unlimited. Comments[0] |

Brad and Christina are giddy with Whovian joy with the past episode of Heroes, and easily see Hayden Panettiere, as a recast of Buffy, in our fantasy universes.

Toy Talk gushes with Wii love, 360 play, and as always, the crusade's still burning in World of Warcraft. We discuss flight simulators, Rainbow Six:Vegas, and Christina's Huntress figure adorns her cubicle. Glenn adds to his X-Box collection with Breakdown, Advent Rising, and Batman Begins, and the boys discuss the various modification parameters possible with console games.

The final piece of the 50th Episode Trilogy Extravaganza begins with
PodCulture turns fifty!! Get out your party hats, and get ready to cut
the cake as PodCulture celebrates its half a century mark!
This week we find the geeksome threesome on the cusp of their 50th episode!
After ratings month, Glenn returns to us with news that he's still
watching Lost, and the trio anticipate the season finale, and
contemplate the series end. Will it come to an annoying end like
Dallas or The Newhart Show? Is it better to have a finite end, or be
in limbo like Babylon 5? Noting Lost actors in other roles, we mention
Brick and Pulse.
Sorry for the delay in show notes. Christina had a craptastic week of
doctor (sadly not THE Doctor) visits, and she wasn't at her
notes-writing best. Kindly stepping into Glenn's working shoes this week is Indiana Jim from the Things Are Looking Up podcast.
Prepare for your penance as this week's show opens
with Glenn's Guilty Pleasures! This time it's District B-13,
written by Luc Besson, of Fifth Element fame. The battle
between subtitles and dubbing wages on! Which do you prefer?
Reading subtitles and watching a film in its native language,
or hearing dubbing actors "interpret" a script?
After a silent week in respect for the passing of our friend and fellow podcaster, Joe Murphy, The Culture Crew returns to pay one more tribute.
We start off this week's episode by getting our guilty on with
Glenn's Guilty Pleasures. Inspired by Zero Woman, Glenn sends the WTF
factor through the roof with Beautiful Hunter. They discuss the appeal
of kickass women while Brad and Christina encourage him to buy the 3rd
series of Angel in order to appreciate Amy Acker.
The geeksome threesome comes at you this week full of tantalizing
Here we go again with PodCulture: Part B of Crash Boom Bam!
The inmates have broken loose and are running the asylum in PodCulture: Episode 33 --- It's All Geek to Me - Part B
The second half of the new weekly version of PodCulture kicks off!
