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 …

You want a copy of this DVD smashfest? Excellent! We can Hulk, … er, hook you up …

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.

Contest deadline is March 12, 2010. Open to US & Canada residents only (sorry, it’s a region coded DVD). 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.

wtc — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:12:37 +0000

Greetings 2010! WhatTheCast will soon be back from its long winter’s nap. Our 2010 movie preview episode will be recorded the weekend of Jan 16th when we get together to see Jonathan Coulton with Paul & Storm in Atlanta (woot!).

Have fun & stay tuned …

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!

You’ve got feedback, we’ve got e-mail … feedback@whatthecast.com or hatemail@whatthecast.com. Also search for WhatTheCast on Twitter or Facebook.

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 …

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).

Episode 66: Poolcast

wtc — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 04:18:03 +0000

Summer time and the living is easy … we take the cast poolside with our friends from Dragon*ConTV to discuss all things geek. Will Knowing make The Happening look like an Oscar contender? Will Crispy give up the charm of Little Big Planet for the sheer awesome of Prototype? Will Dragon*Con kill Brian? Will Stephen ever finish Bioshock? Why is our guest Patrick Freeman chasing a frog?

All this and more is revealed when WhatTheCast goes aquatic in this poolside episode …

wtc — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 19:58:34 +0000

The cast is back after some summer vacation. Brian was in San Francisco, Crispy was in a cave and Stephen was trying to beat up Big Daddy in Bioshock (he’s a bit behind in the videogame world).

In this episode our podcasters discuss TV, movies, SyFy and geek culture’s latest nonsense. Show links are available after the break.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we found our new RoboVampire … video below may be NSFW

wtc — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:07:04 +0000

Brian, Crispy, Patrick and Stephen are back to talk about … well, everything they can find in geek culture.

On this episode … Trunk Club (a.k.a. Pants Club For Men), our ideas on other internet clubs (well, mostly Patrick’s ideas), the horror that is a Jossless Buffy, a quick WhatTheCon update for Dragon*Con 2009, geeking out over E3 news, bankrupt Transformers, late night with new hosts and much more.

WhatTheVideo: Jonathan Coulton, Paul and Storm

wtc — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:28:33 +0000

Brian (the dude in the kilt) & Crispy (the dude you can’t see in the video) get Jonathan Coulton & Paul and Storm on video. Yes, you never see these guys on the internet, do you?.

This is a lot like the audio interview we just posted, except with moving pictures thanks to our cute little Kodak Zi6. If Kodak gets us a sponsorship Brian promises to use it more

Interview: Jonathan Coulton, Paul and Storm

wtc — Sun, 31 May 2009 17:41:22 +0000

Brian & Crispy managed to trap Jonathan Coulton in the room while we interviewed Paul and Storm. The result is a great interview where these men of (mostly) comic music talk about harmony, albums and what happens when you mail monkeys across these United States.

Update: the video version is also available, now that I mastered the quirks of the Kodak Zi6 with my video editing software (yes, I’m totally shopping for a Kodak sponsorship).

Patrick on Radio Rickshaw

ChewToy — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:08:47 +0000

Patrick was a guest on Radio Rickshaw during the Orlando Fringe, hanging out with them and discussing WhatTheCast, ManaNation, and general geekiness all around.

Check the episode out!

Episode 63: Spock Throwback

wtc — Mon, 25 May 2009 16:36:48 +0000

Brian wanted to send this podcast back in time so it would be released on time … but J.J. Abrams is bogarting all of the red matter (bastard). Here’s the latest episode full of Zune, Trek, Dollhouse and SCIENCE! Show notes after the break …

Brian, Crispy, Patrick and Stephen finally get a chance to join the ranks of nitpicking dorks that talk about the new Star Trek movie.
Stephen talks about science fact, since he actually has stuff on the latest shuttle mission. Stephen’s also mad he didn’t think about Tweeting from space.
The cast talks about Dollhouse getting Trek’d in the ratings, along with our feelings on the last episode you can see without using BitTorrent or ComicCon (bastards)
Brian’s quote of this episode: “Zune, the Pontiac of MP3 players“

WhatTheSample

wtc — Wed, 20 May 2009 02:50:10 +0000

Brian’s a little to tired to edit tonight, so instead we’re posting our sample segment of the show. It’s longer than a promo, shorter than a regular show and perfect for explaining to your confused friends why people listen to this show.

Episode 62: Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go

wtc — Tue, 12 May 2009 03:39:47 +0000

Patrick may have been kidnapped by a Nigerian prince, but the rest of the cast is here to talk about all things geek-a-rific. Brian, Stephen and Crispy talk about way too many topics …

Are “real life superheroes” any better of an idea than Marvel’s “Diva” comic?
Should we ask a ninja about the ninja rap?
Star Trek should be all kinds of awesome (that’s what we talk about in the next episode)
There are other movies in space, like “Moon” and “District 9“
There are too many conventions on Memorial Day!

Plus final thoughts and lots of chances to send us hatemail!
