Episode 65: Big Daddy Geisha

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.

Welcome to bad movie central … Viewmaster and The Smurfs

SyFy is trying to bring back Alien Nation and is doing well with Warehouse 13.

Robo Whut?

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

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!

Episode 54: Robo Zunepire

wtc — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 03:13:39 +0000

Brian, Stephen & Crispy party like it’s 2009 … cause it is! In our first podcast of the new year, the cast takes on a range of random topics:

The epic fail of Z2K9. Zune … It’s like Vista in your pocket.
New guests for Dragon*Con 2009, including Brad from Rocky Horror.
New webgames make it to the iPhone, like Crazy Penguin Catapult
Turns out FOX was a verb long before The Watchmen film got FOXed … and long ago it even meant you were drunk (explains a lot about Firefly, doesn’t it).
Brian taunts the listeners that didn’t checkout whatthecast.com to learn about our RoboVampire contest. Then again, maybe they were the lucky ones.
Wallace & Gromit return to the BBC, and Brian finds a great mashup of W&G with Saw.

All this and more in our latest episode. Comments welcome – feedback@whatthecast.com & hatemail@whatthecast.com

Contest: Robo Vampire

wtc — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 16:13:03 +0000

It’s time for a post-holiday WhatTheContest that will make you appreciate the lump of coal you got in your stocking. We’re calling this one “Many Unhappy Returns” and it’s courtesy of Brad Boyer at PodCulture and The Geek Spin. Keep reading to find out how to enter.

Brad takes some offense to our bashing of TV’s latest EPIC FAIL … Knight Rider. To assure us that we could be watching something much worse, he sent us something much worse.

Yes, Robo Vampire, a camp classic … assuming you like camping in places where axe murders come out of the night to kill all the cheerleaders and football jocks. And a copy on DVD can be yours by entering our “Many Unhappy Returns” contest, full of gifts you can’t take back because we’re not including the receipt!

E-mail your name & postal address (US & Canada only) to contest@whatthecast.com. One entry per person, enter by January 3, 2009, winner announced on a future episode of WhatTheCast. Runners up will get a selection of stuff we found while cleaning out my office (which may be a better prize than this turkey of a sci-fi action film).
