Episode 81: Pre Con Show

wtc — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:33:04 +0000

The cast has Dragon*Con on the brain! Brian, Crispy and Stephen talk about what they’re up to at Dragon*Con 2010 … The Dragon*Con Late Show, Dragon*ConTV, The Parsec Awards, Stephen’s panel appearances and a whole lot more. We also give a few props to ThinkGeek for the prizes they handed off to Dragon*ConTV.

Episode 80: P != NPH

wtc — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 11:48:15 +0000

We’re back with the podcast that is, amazing enough, nominated for a 2010 Parsec Award [Best Speculative Fiction Fan or News Podcast (General)]. Does this motley crew deserve such an honor? Guess you’ll have to listen to find out …

Episode 79: Doctor Scotch

wtc — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 03:17:08 +0000

Boy, do we love the Doctor Who. We also love talking about Doctor Who, autotuning our friends when they sing about scotch, drinking the scotch Stephen brought over to the house, catching up on various SyFy shows and bleeping Stephen when he swears like a sailor. It’s part two of our last live recording session, which sounds awesome thanks to Jeff McClure’s multi-track setup.

Episode 78: Bzzzzzzzzzzz

wtc — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:22:05 +0000

Ladies and gentlemen … and Crispy … we’re all in the same room for this episode. That means we’re talking Dragon*Con, playing with a live audience and drinking some kind of scotch. The podcast could (and does) go anywhere as we hit a variety of topics.

In Part One of our couch-based audio adventure the cast talks about Tesla (the inventor not the band), the World Cup, horrible singers at Irish pubs, vuvuzelas, white people in movies they don’t belong in and the Rotten Tomatoes meter level that is equivalent to baseball’s Mendoza line. It may not make sense, but it’s a lot of fun …

Episode 77: Patrick will drive to your house

wtc — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 21:50:53 +0000

The whole cast is back for this episode, where Patrick is willing to visit the other cast members and forcefully explain why we should agree with his review of Iron Man 2 (just kidding, we agree to disagree … I think). We’re also talking about Dragon*Con, GMX, TV and the Smart Pop Books contest (enter before July 1st).

Episode 76: Revenge of the Scotch

wtc — Mon, 31 May 2010 01:50:10 +0000

It’s part two of our ScotchCast, recorded May 22, 2010. While Stephen tries to bring Wingin’ It 3D back from podio-death, Brian tries to keep the cast on course and discuss the following topics:

TV shows that got the axe in 2010, and how this relates to the ending of Lost
Our awesome friend Eugie Foster winning a Nebula award
Why it’s cool to vote in the Hugo Awards
WhatTheCon discusses Dragon*Con and GMX
A Doctor Who discussion so long that Claire dumps Brian for his one-hearted clone and Stephen regenerates in the middle of the podcast … he still has no hair.
You can win a free book from Smart Pop Books! Listen to the episode to find out more.

Thanks to Claire, Wendy and Jason for helping out with this episode.

Episode 75: Scotch Cast

wtc — Tue, 25 May 2010 03:43:46 +0000

No, it’s not that other podcast … this is one of those live WhatTheCast episodes where Brian gets everyone in the same room (no Skype this time). Brian and Stephen grab a few friends after the last Dragon*Con staff meeting to discuss the latest in movies, TV and convention madness.

This episode also contains our latest contest for Smart Pop Books. Listen to the episode for details on how to enter and get a free book.

This is part one of a two part episode (hey, if Steven Moffat can do it, then we can do it). We star off the episode talking about bad PowerPoint, Iron Man 2 and why dogs and vampires living together could cause mass hysteria.

Episode 74: Doctor Kick Ass Furry Centipede

wtc — Wed, 05 May 2010 03:36:41 +0000

Brian, Crispy and Stephen are all over the map in this episode of WhatTheCast.

We spoil Doctor Who for anyone who isn’t using “BT Airlines” to watch the show.
We discuss the poorly titled ‘Furry Vengence’, the potentially poorly planned ‘Robin Hood’ prequel and the creepy ideas behind ‘Human Centipede (First Sequence)‘.
Stephen raves about ‘Kick Ass’
Crispy mourns the loss of ‘Legend of the Seeker’
Brian talks about two conventions that happened before he had a chance to edit this podcast (whoops)

It’s another episode of WhatTheCast for you to enjoy.

Episode 73: Catching Up

wtc — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 02:42:45 +0000

Crispy and Brian bring the podcast back from near death, after weeks of the podcaster’s “personal lives” keep them away from the wonders of internet audio. In this episode, our cast covers everything from upcoming conventions and Doctor Who to Kick Ass and some awesome comic book news. It’s all here in this fantastic piece of downloadable content … so enjoy!

Foreclosure for the Dollhouse

wtc — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:40:08 +0000

In case you missed it, Stephen helped kick everyone out of the Dollhouse … it’s the Foreclosure episode of the Dollhouse Podcast (before it became the Milk Carton TV Podcast). Our listeners know Stephen has issues with the final episodes of Dollhouse, now he shares them with other fans on this special (and quite profane) episode.

We hope this keeps you going while Brian roams Germany on business.

‘Planet Hulk’ Contest

wtc — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:28:30 +0000

Thanks to our friends at Farpoint Media, WhatTheCast has a new contest! One lucky fan can win a copy of the new Marvel DVD Planet Hulk, where our favorite green giant gets let loose on an unsuspecting planet. Contest details & movie trailer after the break …

E-mail contest@whatthecast.com with your name, mailing address and a quick description of what you want to smash the most. Yes, it’s not just random chance … creativity counts! Don’t rant too much, cause we have to read all of these things to pick a winner.

Runners up will get some interesting prizes from our ‘bag of holding’ (a.k.a. the closet in Brian’s office). Farpoint Media podcasters are not eligible to win (sorry Crispy, buy your own at Amazon).

Episode 72: The Fail Boat

wtc — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 04:33:56 +0000

Of course an episode where we talk about how much other people FAIL would be delayed with technical difficulties. Episode 72 of WhatTheCast features Brian, Crispy and Patrick … despite the best intentions of Brian’s Skype plugins.

On the podcast today: Dollhouse ended on a weird note, Repo Men rips the spine out of another ‘Repo’ movie, Dragon*Con isn’t the only con in town, Brian gets a ‘podcast red card’ within the first two minutes of the show and a movie that is 85% CGI is up for a ‘cinematography’ award … WTF?

Episode 71: We Spoil Dollhouse

wtc — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 16:40:19 +0000

Ok, it’s time to get this 2010 party started with WhatTheCast … Crispy, Stephen and Brian are in the PodHizzouse.

In this episode we spoil Episode 11 of Dollhouse (sorry, but we have to rip this one apart), Robert Downey, Jr. at the Golden Globes, Avatar in China, Leno vs Conan as a superhero battle and Sherlock Holmes as a badass.

Episode 70: DragonCon 2009

wtc — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 23:47:21 +0000

After a long and unexplainable delay, we finally bring you the WhatTheCast live recording from Dragon*Con 2009. Trust me, this is a fun one.

People thought this would be our “lost episode” for 2009 … alas, that was the original “Episode 70″ where Brian’s new computer clashed with the recording software to make an unplayable Skype recording.

We’re collecting listener feedback for our next episode. Make sure to get your voice heard before the end of 2009!

Episode 69: Pod-o-ween

wtc — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:34:53 +0000

Brian, Crispy and Stephen are ready for Halloween! We talk candy, trunk-or-treat, myths about razor blades in candy, bad reboots, the end of the world (and possibly John Cusack‘s career), Windows 7′s questionable numbering scheme, how Crispy hated The Plan and a college event Brian refers to as “the Rose Bowl Parade meets one of the Saw movies” … check it out in our latest audio adventure.

Brian, Crispy and Stephen got the chance to be real live convention guests at Geek Media Expo (GMX) 2009 in Nashville, TN (Oct 2-4). Listen to our live podcast and hear the wonders of this great first-year nerd gathering. More info & pics after the break …

We talk about zombie walks, TV ratings, podcasting, drinking and hanging out at a con where none of work staff (shocking, I know). Along with the audio, check out pics from GMX courtesy of Brian & Derek.

Episode 67: Post DragonCon Blues

wtc — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 01:19:31 +0000

Brian, Patrick & Stephen return after a long summers nap … we talk about Dragon*Con, Dragon*ConTV, GMX our new contest and why the heck Captain Kirk is climbing that mountain. Listen to the show for how to enter the contest, but get those entries in before GMX (October 2, 2009).
