April 27, 2010 03:17 - 48 minutes - 22.1 MB

#171 - Scream 3 (2000)

April 15, 2010 04:25 - 2 hours - 55.5 MB

The nineties ended, and so did the Scream franchise (until just now). Off the success of the previous entries, Dimension Films demanded a complete trilogy. Wes Craven and his cast were brought back yet again, with at least one key participant in a severely reduced capacity. Equally as important, original author Kevin Williamson was missing this time out, having been replaced by Ehren Kruger. The results were a mixed bag of rampant cameos, Hollywood in-jokes and some occasional thrills. Sidn...

#170 - Scream 2 (1997)

April 06, 2010 05:55 - 2 hours - 57.8 MB

Scream hit the cinemas during Christmas of 1996, and made Teen Slashers popular and profitable again.

Scream 2 takes place a couple of years after the events of the first film. Sidney Prescott is alive and well at a fancy college, and even has a strapping, new boyfriend. Unfortunately for Sid and her friends, more killings are happening, and she m...

Sofa Dogs Four Year Anniversary

April 05, 2010 04:22

Greetings, This weekend marked the four year anniversary of the Sofa Dogs podcast! When I started this audio adventure on April 3rd of 2006, I never would have been able to fathom what the show has expanded into, nor that I would still be going strong. Initially, this was simply an excuse for me to get together with friends and record DVD fan commentaries for various movies and television shows. Today, Sofa Dogs has evolved into a more laid back, stream of consciousness podcast about genera...

#169 - Scream (1996)

April 01, 2010 01:50 - 1 hour - 51.6 MB

Back in the mid-to-late 90s', a young writer burst onto the scene with a big, self aware love letter to the slasher genre. Respected horror master Wes Craven signed on to direct and Scream was born, thus revitalizing and innovating the teen scare flick onward. In a quaint, sleepy town, a masked psycho is terrorizing the teens of Woodsboro. Using horror films of old as a modus operandi, the killer rattles young victims by phone before brutally slaughtering them. Specifically, the mysterious ...

#168 - Couch Surfing Ep. 33b: Critical Mass (Part 2 of 2)

March 21, 2010 10:26 - 1 hour - 42 MB

The conclusion to this episode leaves brevity behind, as John and Scott talk at length about indie films, british television and superhero icons. 00:02:10 - Scott tried to watch New York, I Love You. He made it about halfway through. It was apparently that bad. 00:20:53 - Scott highly recommends the UK television series Skins, but only after the dreadful first episode. 00:30:04 - John took Scott's advice and watched the pilot for Life Unexpected. He loved the show and the characters, but...

(UPDATE: The concerns of this issue have since died down considerably, making much of this rant more obsolete than before.) 00:24:1...

February 08, 2010 21:47 - 1 hour - 34.5 MB

Everything you ever wanted to know about Geek By Night, but were afraid to ask. Scott Carelli (that's right) returns to the show. In this, the first sign of the coming apocalypse, Scott shares the ins and outs of his beloved audio series, why it was forced to be put down like a sick dog (it had rabies) and what this means for the future.

Now that the DVDs are finally here, I resume commentaries for season one of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse. In the sixth episode "Man On The Street", Paul Ballard comes face to face with Caroline for the first time, sort of.

May 29, 2009 23:51 - 42 minutes - 19.4 MB

Veronica Mars is and was not only a smart and satisfying teen drama, but also an outstanding, contemporary murder/mystery. From creator Rob Thomas, the show dealt with the seedy underbelly of Neptune High School and its wealthy inhabitants. While also embracing its hard-boiled detective roots, Veronica Mars also defied convention by following the crime-solving exploits of the plucky, young female sidekick (delightfully played by Kristen Bell), giving the proceedings a fresh, new perspective. ...

At the same time, I will be attempting to transfer e...

Lost: S5 Review, Episode 10

March 29, 2009 20:09

With John's laptop on life support, I'm temporarily coming out of retirement to provide some texty Lost reviews. If ever there was occasion to describe new content as 'filler', this is it ladies and gents. The last Lost review I threw together was for seminal Desmond episode The Constant (with The Other Woman tacked on as an afterthought). It's been over a year since that post made nary a splash in the podcasting pool, so let's see if 365+ days of C# and SQL has dulled my thirst for mild...

Motherboard R.I.P. - Sofa Dogs on Hiatus!

March 21, 2009 17:36

Motherboard (May 4th, 2005 - March 18th, 2009) A few nights ago, at 11:30pm, the Fire Department came knocking on my door to inform me that a pipe had burst in the building and water was flooding the halls. Everyone was to evacuate the sixth floor and head down to the lobby and await further instructions. Sure enough, stepping out into the hallway, I was met with pink water (yes, pink) about a quarter-inch deep. I took the elevator down to the lobby. Roughly thirty minutes later, a man with...

After our Dollhouse Commentary for "True Believer", Tim Minear (writer/consulting producer/narcissist) keeps the party going. Please enjoy as Tim and I talk about more Dollhouse, digital downloading, listening to your public, the "cult" of Darla and war stories concerning creative credit. Also, we get a little punchy and take many lighthearted, verbal jabs at each other. It's nearly an hour of podcasting that defies the laws of thermal dynamics (probably), due to its deadly combination of ast...
