Episode 104: Michael Bay’s Oregon Trail

WhatTheAdmin — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:16:10 +0000

It’s our final episode before the holidays, and we have a lovely set of presents for you. We have GaFilk and Anachrocon and Chattacon for your conventioning pleasure, plus new Dragon*Con guests, including Cary Elwes. We got you two lost Doctor Who episodes that have been found and a Doctor Who free-to-play MMO.

For after-dinner entertainment, we pitted Mission Impossible 4 against Sherlock Holmes: A Game of ~~Thrones~~Shadows, and everyone wins! Crispy likes the G.I. Joe 2 trailer, much to everyone else’s bemusement. And if you look under the tree you’ll find a Middleman/Doctor Who crossover fanfic, a new Louis CK special that he’s selling un-DRMed, an evil Apples-to-Apples-like game called Cards Against Humanity, and Kim Jong Il re-imagined as a DJ.

While you’re celebrating, why not take a look at our shiny new Google+ page?

Episode 101: Patrick Puts On His Robe and Wizards of the Coast Hat

WhatTheAdmin — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:51:31 +0000

This episode, all four hosts assemble to make jokes about binary numbers and discuss Halloween. Crispy thinks Once Upon a Time is crazy, Patrick’s enjoying Death Valley, and Brian is suffering through Grimm. Speaking of grim, Patrick’s deadpool for TV shows is going poorly, as he picked shows that all are doing well.

In happier news, Joss Whedon made a Shakespearean film, Bollywood is giving us Ra.One, a superhero flick, and Crispy found a video of David Tennant and the Doctor Who cast and crew being super cute. We finish with Patrick’s amazing news about his new job and a plug for the eighth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Episode 98: Everybody Gets a Blimp!

WhatTheAdmin — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 03:12:01 +0000

It’s our annual live episode from Dragon*Con! We had Patrick, our sports reporter, giving us live updates from the Magic: The Gathering pro tour in Pennsylvania. Brian talked about Shatner’s explanation for Star Trek V‘s rock monsters, Crispy had a good time at the Jonathan Coulton and Paul and Storm concert, and Stephen was being stalked by Colin Ferguson. (Little did he know what bathtub scene awaited him after the podcast.) From there we discussed the BBC America premiere of the Doctor Who episode “Night Terrors”, geek proposals at Dragon*Con, Game of Thrones, drunk Tony Stark, and more. By the way, did we mention that we won a Parsec award?

Episode 97: A Blu-ray Bathtub Moment

WhatTheAdmin — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 17:57:10 +0000

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.

Episode 96: Christ, What a Green Lantern

WhatTheAdmin — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 20:34:28 +0000

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.

Episode 95: Delay of Game of Thrones

WhatTheAdmin — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 02:16:22 +0000

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.

Episode 94: Six Degrees of Mark

WhatTheAdmin — Mon, 16 May 2011 18:26:12 +0000

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.

Episode 92: Zach Snyder Owes Me Ten Bucks

WhatTheAdmin — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 04:13:20 +0000

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.

Episode 87: Year of the Wabbit

WhatTheAdmin — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 13:45:23 +0000

We’re back to kick off 2011 in style … well, as much style as we are capable of bringing. The cast talks new movies, old movies, good TV, bad TV, superheroes, conventions and how Andrew Wakefield needs a punch in the junk.

It’s a long episode as Brian, Crispy & Stephen catch up on the new year. We’ve gone a bit stir crazy in the Snomagedden/Hothlanta madness, so it’s awesome to talk to anyone that isn’t already trapped in the house under six inches of snow. Some show links …

Hothlanta on CNN / Creative Loafing / Facebook
‘Neverland‘ miniseries preview
‘Green Hornet‘ reviews on Rotten Tomatoes
AnachroCon 2011 (Feb 25-27 in Atlanta)
ChattaCon 2011 (Jan 21-23 in Chattanooga)
MTAC 2011 (April 22-24 in Nashville)
Frolicon 2011 (April 21-24 in Atlanta) – adult content, site may be NSFW

Darth Vader's search for the rebel base on Hoth encountered some delays due to his failure to check the weather report and an unfortunate sinkhole.

On a serious note, we still have our friend Jeff McClure in our thoughts. Jeff was in a bad motorcycle accident before Christmas and he’s still recovering in a Birmingham ICU. Good news: he’s breathing on his own and can handle basic communication. If you want to support our friend then check out Team Jeffie on Facebook and buy a t-shirt for the team.

Episode 79: Doctor Scotch

WhatTheAdmin — 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.
