Episode 52 Show Notes

Georgia & Thailand are strange political bedfellows

Thailand’s airport protests make Stephen think of shipping himself rather than flying. Brian points out that a radio DJ tried this once.

How has 4chan changed your life?

  • LOLcats, Anonymous & the Rick Roll
  • Patrick makes some strange monkey analogies here
  • Listener Feedback: how do internet memes compare to the works of Shakespeare? Let us know – feedback@whatthecast.com

TV/Movie quick rundown?

  • Klaatu is an ass, and Keanu isn’t the robot
  • Pushing Daisies is dead; Knight Rider still lives
  • Wil Wheaton on Heroes? Not really, but Twitter made a connection.
  • Tr2n is now to be called TRZ, and Crispy tests Brian on acronyms. What is the most famous acronym these days? Tell us – feedback@whatthecast.com
  • Caprica officially picked up. BSG: The Previous Generation

REPO: The Genetic Opera

  • We get the obvious “Repo Man” reference out of the way, with a nod to an old Alex Cox film called “Straight to Hell” (imagine a prequel to “Pulp Fiction” co-starring Courtney Love)
  • Crispy versus Brian in a organ repossession deathmatch. What did the movie do right? What went wrong?

Listener Feedback

  • Rachel wants a clause written for her based on “The Abyss”
  • Dubshack’s audio commentary on Harry Potter & Star Trek
