Episode 13: The Geekaholic Sugar Rush

The wacky folks here at PodCulture Central start off the night with a bang! (or at least the sound of a bottle being opened) The drinks are flowing as the gang chats about upcoming conventions such as Wonderfest and Motorcity Comicon. Brad rants about Insight Cable Service, Glenn plugs his model kits of Ace of Diamonds and Bloodlust over at the Ace of Diamonds website. The chatter continues with talk about LOST on DVD, a recent trip to Steak and Shake, Mike's Hard Crisp Apple (one of Brad's favs).

After the break it's time for Geek Cuisine. This time the sugar rush is provided by Junior Mints Inside Outs, and as usual the verdict is quite the tasty!

DVD chatter includes: Always, Field of Dreams, The Flash, the original versions of the Star Wars movies, Robot Chicken, the anime GANTZ, Speed Racer and the fact that a LOT of folks still want the 60s Batman series to come out on DVD. Also the gang shares some of the movies they watch with their mothers.

Game and toy chatter has: Battlestar Galactica: The Game (for PS2 and Xbox), Buffy Legos, a Doctor Who playset, the Nintendo Wii, Second Life, and a World of Warcraft expansion,.

After the second break there is some movie talk with discussion on Superman Returns, X-Men 3: The Last Stand, and Spiderman 3.

Then the crew reads some listener emails and comments and close out with a request for some more iTunes art (as well as a request for listeners to call the PodCulture voicemail line) and a special announcement regarding charity screenings of Serenity in Louisville, KY and that more info can be found at the Bluegrass Browncoats website.

Serenity on the big screen (a letter from the Bluegrassbrowncoats.net site)

Hey gang,

I just got the following letter from Adam over at bluegrassbrowncoats.net. It looks like the BGBC are going to try and get a screening of SERENITY in Louisville, and we could really use your help. If you would like to come down for it (or can make some sort of donation) PLEASE head over to the forums at www.bluegrassbrowncoats.net and post and let us know! It would be really great to have some of y'all down for the show!

Peace,
Brad

(from Adam)

Brad,
We need your help!! Troy (Visionary) has contacted the Showcase Delux here in town to get us the rights to show Serenity on the bigscreen. They just heard back from Universal and we are a go for a June 22nd 7pm showing! Kicker is: it's $1400 we need to raise for this. We're still working out the details on the money collection, but we figure at 7 bucks a pop, we'd need 200-ish people. I know you have good connections with the SOBs, do you know if they are doing anything of the sort for Serenity day (June 23rd)? If not, I wanted to extend an invitation to them for this. We need to get the word out about this! I'm telling everyone I know

The gang talks about toys from their childhoods like Ultraman, Sir Galaxy, Transformers, and Yoda. The first part of the show wraps with Christina sharing a story about going to see the movie The Cell, and getting the crap scared out of her by a Yoda doll afterwards.
