A podcast where geek-culture meets the real world … from the minds behind Dragon*ConTV. Everything from movies, television, science and news. Sometimes serious, mostly funny, always a little off-center.
We’re back with our first podcast recorded via a Google+ hangout. We discuss our experiences at Dragon*Con, including winning a Parsec award and Stephen being in the bathtub with Colin Ferguson from Eureka. In other con news, Crispy and Stephen will be representing WhatTheCast at GMX Vol. 3 in Nashville on October 21-23. Stop by and hear us live!
In geekier news, Patrick has a new fantasy league: drafting new fall TV shows that are sure to be cancelled. Stephen and Crispy agree Torchwood: Miracle Day was not so miraculous. Patrick’s lost the Alphas love, while everyone is very sad about Green Lantern making back its money. Brian gets to hear Kevin Pollack’s William Shatner impersonation in person, Crispy loves the videogame Dead Island, and Stephen has a new podcast called Disasterpiece Theatre. And we all agree: Patrick is going to clean up in the Fall TV Cancellation league.

We’re doing the time warp with this episode, which was actually recorded a month before Dragon*Con but thanks to the magic of procrastination is only now available in mid-September!
Thrill! to hearing Crispy tear apart the Green Lantern movie.
Gasp! as we all agree that Dark Skies and Game of Thrones are pretty good.
Listen! as we talk about Doctor Who and the then-current spoiler about River Song.
Plus! Lulzsec, Weird Al’s video for Perform This Way, and Brian’s anniversary.
All in this long-lost episode of WhatTheCast, available now from fine podcast vendors everywhere.

Yes, it’s been a while since we did a podcast (stupid personal lives). This episode was recorded in early June, so there’s little chance we spoiled any of your favorite shows or movies.
Brian talks about Thor. Crispy talks about Brian’s inability to watch Doctor Who or Game of Thrones in a timely manner. Stephen talks about robot helicopters and their inability to take over the world in a gentle breeze. Then they all talk about (in no particular order) LinkedIn, Dragon*Con guests, LA Noire, being protested by the KKK, Misfits of Science and summer TV programs that are keeping your favorite time slot warm.

It’s another walk through the minds of nerds … WhatTheCast delivers over 45 minutes of Doctor Who reviews, musical chairs with Game of Thrones and thoughts on Thor. Plus we introduce the “Six Degrees of Mark Sheppard” game in our WhatTheCon segment. The cast also talks about the indie film “Zero Charisma“, answers listener questions from Twitter and listens to Brian mangle names from “Lord of the Rings” in our Final Thoughts segment.
Note: we recorded this episode before a large wave of tornadoes swept through Alabama and Georgia. We have friends affected by the storms, but fortunately none of them lost their lives. Others were not so lucky. Please consider giving prayers, thoughts, blood, time or money to help those in need.
The cast discusses too many things! This podcast must have too much content to be legal … it’s all about Sucker Punch (including Brian’s attempt to create a drinking game for this movie), WonderCon (even though we released the episode after the con is over, whoops), the Governator (the fail is strong with this one) and a lot of TV news.

Yes, if you haven’t figured it out, Episode 91 of WhatTheCast was our April Fools Joke. Sorry if you have out theme song stuck in your head. A real episode with our confusion over the mess that is Sucker Punch will be out shortly.
Meanwhile, we found this trailer for a new Stan Lee project that is sadly not a joke …
Yes, you found the April Fools Episode. Sorry, we had to do something.
Episode 92 is the real deal, coming soon to an MP3 player near you.
It’s a special episode of WhatTheCast, where we talk about how we all got surprised by the movie Sucker Punch. Crispy loves the soundtrack, Brian loves the story, Stephen explains the science of dreams and Patrick compares it to the Blue Man Group. Got comments … hatemail@whatthecast.com.
