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 93: Spoiler Portal

WhatTheAdmin — Wed, 04 May 2011 03:12:27 +0000

On this episode of audio weirdness …

Crispy & Stephen get spoilery as they show their love for Portal 2 … you monster.
Game of Thrones and Doctor Who are firing on all cylinders (and we may give out a few spoilers … whoops)
WhatTheCon talks about Dragon*Con (again). We have some great guests, including Jonathan Coulton (you know, that guy from Portal 2).
Brian unplugs from TV to watch some cool webseries … check out Mortal Kombat: Legacy and Pioneer One if you haven’t exceeded your bandwidth caps.
Crispy, Brian & Stephen wish Jim Cantore would check into FourSquare so our friends know when to duck and cover.
Of course there’s more, so why don’t you listen …

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.

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 86: Dance Dance Living Room Redecoration

WhatTheAdmin — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 16:45:43 +0000

This episode has Brian, zombies, Crispy, dancing video games, Stephen, strange experiments with big bangs, Patrick, talk show hosts returning from the grave and pencils from the future. Yeah, we’re not sure what happened either. Just download and listen … please …

Episode 81: Pre Con Show

WhatTheAdmin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:33:04 +0000

The cast has Dragon*Con on the brain! Brian, Crispy and Stephen talk about what they’re up to at Dragon*Con 2010 … The Dragon*Con Late Show, Dragon*ConTV, The Parsec Awards, Stephen’s panel appearances and a whole lot more. We also give a few props to ThinkGeek for the prizes they handed off to Dragon*ConTV.

Episode 78: Bzzzzzzzzzzz

WhatTheAdmin — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:22:05 +0000

Ladies and gentlemen … and Crispy … we’re all in the same room for this episode. That means we’re talking Dragon*Con, playing with a live audience and drinking some kind of scotch. The podcast could (and does) go anywhere as we hit a variety of topics.

In Part One of our couch-based audio adventure the cast talks about Tesla (the inventor not the band), the World Cup, horrible singers at Irish pubs, vuvuzelas, white people in movies they don’t belong in and the Rotten Tomatoes meter level that is equivalent to baseball’s Mendoza line. It may not make sense, but it’s a lot of fun …

Episode 70: DragonCon 2009

WhatTheAdmin — 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!

Episode 69: Pod-o-ween

WhatTheAdmin — 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.

Episode 63: Spock Throwback

WhatTheAdmin — 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“

Dear Sir or Madam … this episode of WhatTheCast with Brian, Crispy and Patrick requires your assistance. If you will listen to our initial episode, you will find that the discussion ranges from FOX TV shows like the renewal Terminator & Dollhouse to the use of bacon for mad science. If you can financially assist this program, a great reward of millions of laughs can be released to you and other listeners. This requires only a commitment from you to listen, and you do not have to follow any minor celebrities on Twitter or participate in Stephen’s latest photoshop blog post.
