#130 - Heathers

November 12, 2008 23:28 - 1 hour - 46.6 MB

Dark comedies rarely get any darker than Heathers. Veronica Sawyer is fed up with the shallow, popular members of her highschool. With the help of her mysterious new boyfriend, the two of them begin killing their social betters and making it look like suicide. Unfortunately, this trend makes the recently deceased more popular than ever. Join me as I discuss school violence, teen suicide and the art of black comedy while revisiting this wickedly funny gem from the 80s'. It's so very. Remembe...

October 29, 2008 02:30 - 1 hour - 34.8 MB

Couch Surfing Episode 13 - We Ain't Been Shaved Gibson and Elliot record a podcast! Well, sort of. Episode thirteen of Couch Surfing supplies John with Chris O'Connor from Geek By Night, filling in as Scott's replacement. Thanks to John and YouTube, Chris discovers the modern vampire cult classic, Near Dark. Civil rights advocate and NRA spokesman, Charlton Heston has unfortunately passed away, but at least the world still has epic favorites like Ben-Hur and Planet Of The Apes to remember hi...

#128 - Couch Surfing Ep. 12: X Marks The Scott

October 29, 2008 01:58 - 1 hour - 41.6 MB

Episode twelve of Couch Surfing brings you mostly bad news, unfortunately. First off, John and Scott are without new iTunes reviews or e-mail. Secondly, they both lost two and a half hours of their lives, thanks to Richard Kelly's Southland Tales. If that's not enough, the dreaded Knight Rider revamp has been picked up for a series. In lighter news, Scott finds Horton Hears A Who to be quite endearing, and he's oddly excited about the new X-Files movie. John rediscovers the rewarding value of...

#127 - Couch Surfing Ep. 21: The Rainbow Connection

October 02, 2008 10:42 - 2 hours - 59 MB

Eric Diaz, from the video podcast Geekscape brings a unique perspective to the show this week. Lots of frank, dividing subject matter gets covered here in this overstuffed episode, so proceed with caution. Not suitable for children, unless you're really open and casual with your kids. Like, seriously. 00:02:46 - Eric is singing the praises of Mad Men. It won some important Emmy awards, so that's gotta count for something, right? 00:09:12 - John desperately wants to check out the special feat...

#126 - Buffy: Go Fish

September 27, 2008 05:25 - 44 minutes - 20.3 MB

The promising members of Sunnydale High's swim team are shedding their skins, literally!

Naturally, it all has something to do with the fall of the Soviet Union.... Naturally. Please join Paul and I as we talk about Wentworth Miller, D...

#125 - Couch Surfing Ep. 20: Free O'Clock

September 17, 2008 09:42 - 1 hour - 31.1 MB

The season of Fall is upon us. Lisa Tobias returns again to the show. That can only mean one thing: It's time for the Couch Surfing podcast, baby! It feels good to be back in the swing of things. 00:02:28 - Lisa is enjoying the updated version of 90210. John is indifferent. 00:05:35 - The Fringe pilot caused unintentional laughter from John, but Joshua Jackson is a bad-ass, so he's going to keep watching. 00:15:16 - True Blood was a bit of a letdown for Lisa, but she's still on board. John i...

#124 - The Guild: Season One

September 04, 2008 06:38 - 50 minutes - 23 MB

Lisa Tobias drops in for some Bicardi, pizza and The Guild. We chuckle and guffaw our way through the complete first season DVD of this hilarious and creative web-based series. The show is written by, produced by and stars Felicia Day as a sweet, plucky young violinist struggling with her addiction to online gaming and the other players she "socializes" with. The situation intensifies when one of her fellow gamers finds out where she lives and inserts himself into her life, with his overbeari...

#123 - Couch Surfing Ep. 8: The Whedon/Zombie Dance-Off

August 29, 2008 13:37 - 1 hour - 39 MB

Couch Surfing Episode 08 - The Whedon/Zombie Dance-Off In episode eight of Couch Surfing, our heroes rejoice at the end of the Writer’s Strike. Scott gushes about the new ABC show, Eli Stone, but weeps about the latest FOX game show, The Moment of Truth. John finally finishes Veronica Mars, and Scott must talk him down off the ledge, over the unsatisfactory ‘ending’. They both praise the mind blowing bargains from Deep Discount. Scott finds the willpower not to punch a kitten after watching ...

August 16, 2008 17:57 - 45 minutes - 21 MB

"I Only Have Eyes For You" is the nineteenth episode from the second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

#121 - Buffy: Killed By Death

August 04, 2008 06:47 - 44 minutes - 20.3 MB

Eighteen episodes into Buffy the Vampire Slayer's second season brings us to, "Killed By Death". Buffy isn't feeling her Wheaties. The Scoobies take her to the hospital. While recovering from the flu, she learns the Children's Ward is being visited by a mysterious figure every night and killing kids who are too weak to fight back. Is it the Doctor and his questionable experiments? Is it the invisible, eye-popping monster with an underbite? Hard to say. I guess you'll just have to watch and fi...

#120 - Buffy: Passion

July 31, 2008 20:37 - 45 minutes - 20.7 MB

Paul Maki returns for the seventeenth episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's second season, "Passion". Angelus is stalking Buffy, killing Willow's fish and leaving delightful, creep-o-gram drawings for the Slayer and her friends to find. Meanwhile, Jenny Calendar is working on a rare, forgotten spell to restore Angel's soul. Also, Joyce learns of her daughter's recent intimacy with an older man. Much older. Much, much older. In any case, relationships are tested, secrets are revealed and someo...

July 22, 2008 09:02 - 1 hour - 43.6 MB

June 24, 2008 16:49

#118 - Couch Surfing Ep. 18: You Can't Stop The Signal

June 24, 2008 15:59 - 1 hour - 29.4 MB

John is once again joined by the always delightful Lisa Tobias, from the Hypersensitive Podcast! 00:01:19 - John and Lisa squee like nobody's business over how awesome Tim Minear is, and what it was like to meet him. 00:22:37 - John was able to identify strongly with The Incredible Hulk, while Lisa is enjoying the build up to The Avengers movie. 00:29:50 - Neither of them cared for 27 Dresses all that much. It was absurd and lame, with an occasional sprinkle of charm. 00:39:00 - After having...

#117 - Couch Surfing Ep. 16: These Cookies Taste Like Doom

June 22, 2008 14:19 - 1 hour - 48.9 MB

It was bound to happen sooner or later, but a woman has been recruited to bring some class and intelligence to Couch Surfing. John is joined by Lisa Tobias from the Hypersensitive Podcast. They discuss the well roundosity (it's a word, now) of Lost and its fourth season. The both of them show some love for Indiana Jones & The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, and then John ruins everything by turning his nose up at Juno. Thankfully, Diablo Cody still comes out on top as generally awesome. Things ...

#116 - Couch Surfing Ep. 11: 9021-Oh What The F?!

June 21, 2008 04:04 - 1 hour - 42.3 MB

The eleventh episode of Couch Surfing, is over-stuffed with equal measures of both pain and pleasure. John loses a little piece of his soul, having watched Hostel Part 2. After a twenty minute rant about the works of Eli Roth, John and Scott go into joyous praise over Martian Child. They talk about the news of Bryan Singer having another go at Superman, which leads into a discussion about Kate Bosworth, followed by Scott getting a homework assignment. John suggests his casting of Chris Evans ...

#115 - Couch Surfing Ep. 10: Gay Pride & Prejudice

June 21, 2008 03:36 - 1 hour - 36.2 MB

We're not homophobic, we swear! In this episode of Couch Surfing, John discovers a surprising association with top shelf Vivid Girl, Tawny Roberts. The guys give their thoughts on the films Superbad and Definitely, Maybe. A lengthy, heated discussion follows concerning some new developments in the latest comic book issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. John stands his ground on the idea of turning down another man's affections, while Scott is suddenly feeling alienated by the otherwise favored s...

#114 - Couch Surfing Ep. 9: Kill Your TV, Hump Your Modem

June 20, 2008 20:35 - 1 hour - 31 MB

Episode nine of Couch Surfing finds John and Scott discussing the differences between comics and movies as viable mediums of storytelling. Scott talks smack about dormitory living and teenagers, ensuring our audience doesn't get too big. John reviews Justice League: The New Frontier, which he finds entertaining but feeling very truncated. This leads into a discussion about the live-action counterpart, which still seems to be moving forward. The two of them question the credibility of i09.com,...

#113 - Buffy: Phases

June 18, 2008 03:25 - 45 minutes - 20.7 MB

The fifteenth episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's second season is all about "Phases". I'm joined by Paul Maki, from Geek By Night. It seems that Sunnydale is in the cycle of the full moon. A werewolf takes this as an opportunity to go trolling for late night snacks. It's up to Buffy and her friends to stop the big, bad wolf from eating civilians, or worse yet, making more of its kind. And on a completely unrelated note (I covered that up pretty nicely), Willow and Oz are making moon eyes a...

#112 - Couch Surfing Ep. 17: Being Elliot Markowitz

June 14, 2008 22:15 - 1 hour - 35.8 MB

Lisa Tobias returns to the show and this time, it's personal. The new series on the USA Network, In Plain Sight gets a recommendation. Meanwhile, John goes nuts over the adorable Amy Adams and her equally adorable Chipmunk friend from Enchanted. The two of them rather enjoyed The Air I Breathe, and they give praise to Sarah Michelle Gellar and Brendan Fraser for their standout performances. The dynamic duo of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp plan to bring Dark Shadows to the big screen, while John ...

#111 - Titus: Dave Moves Out

May 14, 2008 09:18 - 22 minutes - 10.2 MB

In the third episode of Titus, called Dave Moves Out, Christopher convinces Dave to leave the nest. Unfortunately, he tried to take his father's VCR. Ken is not too happy, and has Dave thrown in jail for grand theft. When it's revealed that Titus is behind Dave's sudden independence (and the theft of the VCR), their Dad makes Christopher join his brother as an accomplice. Can Erin bring Father and Sons together through love and reconciliation? Will Ken get his VCR back? Will Tommy ever back ...

#110 - Buffy: Innocence (Part 2)

April 18, 2008 00:46 - 45 minutes - 20.6 MB

Spiffy! The fourteenth episode from the second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer brings us to Innocence. In the conclusion to this two-parter, Angel has lost a soul, but gained some swagger. This does not bode well for Buffy, after having done some "stuff" with Angel the night before. Thanks to Jenny Calendar's Gypsy ancestors, and their inability to let things go, Angel's cursed. Buffy soon learns the hard way that you really do hurt the ones you "love". Can she bring herself to do what mus...

#109 - Buffy: Surprise (Part 1)

April 10, 2008 23:32 - 44 minutes - 20.6 MB

Surprise is the thirteenth episode from Buffy the Vampire Slayer's second season. In this epic two-part event, Buffy's birthday has arrived, which basically seems to always coincide with lots of sex and lots of death. Go figure. Meanwhile, Spike and Dru are planning their own celebration, in honor of resurrecting the world's oldest and scariest Smurf (for now, but more on that later. Much, much later), more commonly known as The Judge. Rachel Gatlin and I discuss wheelchair-bound vampires, t...

#108 - Buffy: Bad Eggs

April 04, 2008 05:08 - 45 minutes - 20.7 MB

Twelve episodes into season two of Buffy the Vampire Slayer brings us to Bad Eggs. The school is pairing off students to take part in an early form of parenting, by using eggs. Unfortunately, these particular eggs are mind-controlling, energy sucking parasites. In Sunnydale, apparently, even your breakfast is evil and out to get you. Rachel Gatlin and I discuss shopping mall etiquette, overbearing mothers, gigapets and the excessive amount of stuffed animals on Buffy's bed. Please listen for...

#107 - Buffy: Ted

March 28, 2008 06:04 - 45 minutes - 20.9 MB

The eleventh episode from Buffy's second season brings us to "Ted". Rachel Gatlin and I sit down to watch one of Joss Whedon's favorite episodes. In it, a new man is suddenly showing up in the Summers household. He rather quickly and easily wins the trust and affection of Joyce and the Scoobies, but Buffy herself is convinced something is rotten in Sunnydale. Who is this man named Ted, and what's the deal with all the crazy malarkey going on? Rachel and I discuss busy shirts, the surprising ...

#106 - Buffy: What's My Line? (Part 2)

March 22, 2008 13:12 - 45 minutes - 20.8 MB

Rachel Gatlin and I keep the party going with What's My Line?, Part Two. In the tenth episode of Buffy's second season, Kendra shows up. She's called to Sunnydale as a replacement Slayer, after that brief moment from Prophecy Girl when Buffy died, just a little. Rachel and I talk about lipstick on Men, vampires who breathe, Seth Green's ever-changing hair color from scene to scene and the apparent absence of a dress code at Sunnydale High. This just in: Giles secretly collects action figures....

#105 - Buffy: What's My Line? (Part 1)

March 22, 2008 13:05 - 45 minutes - 20.7 MB

Finally: the ninth episode from season two of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, What's My Line? (Part 1). Joining me for this two-part event is Rachel Gatlin, from Geek By Night. It's Career Day at Sunnydale High, and Buffy is considering a job in law enforcement. Meanwhile, Spike and Drusilla send three assassins after the Slayer. Rachel and I discuss the difficulty of ice skating, the meaning behind whacky neckties, the importance of potassium, and bad Jamaican accents. All the while, the battle of...

Lost: S4 Review, Episodes 5 and 6

March 11, 2008 21:02

DESMOND! PHYSICS! DESMOND AND PHYSICS! Okay so I'm well over a week late...but honestly, who wouldn't want to spend a little time rehashing the best episode of the season so far (even sans mp3) ? In the intervening time we've also had a slightly less exciting episode, The Other Woman. Since I'm way overdue with both of these, and running short on time (so short this post has no accompanying images!), I'll abbreviate as much as pssble. Spoilers for Lost episodes 4x05 and 4x06 foll...

#104 - Lost: S4 Review, Episode 4

February 26, 2008 20:12 - 33 minutes - 13.5 MB

Lost audio reviews: back for one week only! Despite my optimism, it'll be back to a text review for the next episode since I'll be out of town. In the meantime, here's 30 minutes of speculative (and somewhat hoarse) chatter on the specialist subject of "Eggtown - Parenthood and the Oceanic 6". Related links: Eggtown screencaps @ Lost-Media LostCasts Official Lost site

#103 - Firefly: Objects In Space

February 23, 2008 05:24 - 44 minutes - 17.9 MB

Well, it took me nearly two years, but I've finally done it. I have now recorded commentaries for every episode of Firefly. I finish out this long, memorable journey, fittingly enough with the final episode, Objects In Space. In the show, River melts away and becomes the ship, a bounty hunter sneaks on board and wrestles with his own sanity while holding Simon at gunpoint and Jayne sleeps through it all. Please join me for this one-man, pity party as I mourn the loss of such an amazing, inno...

Lost: S4 Review, Episode 3

February 20, 2008 22:43

No podcast this week (again) because I had a bit of a throat thing going on (again) over the weekend, and the review is late because...well...I'm just writing it now. The Economist is this week's ep, and with a nice, obscure-sounding title I was bound to enjoy it. Factor in that it was Sayid's turn to take centre stage and it's high fives all round. The end of the writer's strike has thrown up the possibility of 5 more new episodes of Lost being produced this season, bringing the ...

Location, Location, Location

February 14, 2008 11:27

As of episode 8, John and Scott's Couch Surfing has now migrated across to Geekshow.us. Just as well really - I'm not sure our webspace could have coped with the sheer megabytage those guys were producing for a while there! To check out episode 8, 'The Whedon/Zombie Dance-Off', click here. And here is where you'll find new Couch Surfing episodes in the future :)

Lost: S4 Review, Episode 2

February 10, 2008 16:00

And our streak of weekly Lost podcasts ends at...um...one. Oh well, we had a good run... This week's episode, Confirmed Dead, didn't interest me nearly as much as last week's, so perhaps it's fitting that it should be the first to fall by the audio wayside. With the writers' strike possibly at an end, there may still be hope (blindly optimistic or otherwise) for the season to be completed and aired the way it was intended - 16 consecutive episodes. More episodes means more chance o...

#102 - Lost: S4 Review, Episode 1

February 05, 2008 23:10 - 50 minutes - 17.2 MB

CANNONBALL!!! As if anyone needed any reminder, Lost is back. 7 months to wait and scarcely 7 weeks worth of episodes to look forward to, so Stu and Gary make sure they get in on the ground floor with a wander through the season premiere, The Beginning of the End. Besides a little flash-forward confusion, it's business as usual. No spoilers, as long as you don't count inferences made by reading the opening credits... For more Lost: Official Lost LostCasts

#101 - Couch Surfing Ep. 7: Comic Conventional Wisdom

February 01, 2008 12:04 - 1 hour - 36.3 MB

In episode seven of Couch Surfing, the guys wage war against ill-mannered comic shop owners. Scott recommends the film, 27 Dresses for both Men and Women, while pushing for more James Marsden on the big screen. John is unimpressed with both Saw IV and Hatchet, but finds plenty of Super-Action entertainment with Rambo. The two of them share celebrity meet and greet stories from conventions, but also urge Sarah Michelle Gellar to appear at this year's Buffy Reunion Event, or risk losing fans. T...

#100 - Serenity

January 29, 2008 21:53 - 2 hours - 41.9 MB

Holy smokes! Three digits! Yes, the episode counter has ticked over to 100 without the webpage imploding in some horrible imitation of the millennium bug. To celebrate said non-implosion, a well-worn DVD makes its way into two DVD players on opposite sides of the Atlantic and simultaneous chatting ensues. As if the name of said DVD was ever in doubt, let's just say it's the one with the llama on the cover. 100 Serenity

#99 - Couch Surfing Ep. 6: The Reals Cloverfield Monster

January 22, 2008 23:07 - 1 hour - 27.9 MB

In episode six of Couch Surfing, John and Scott contemplate what it means to be a Real Hero, and then give their thoughts on the film, Cloverfield. Some points of debate include believable characters, motion sickness and magical cameras. Spoilers abound, so proceed with caution. The following artists can be heard in this episode: Wiseguys, David Bowie, Bjork, Bonnie Tyler, Elmer Bernstein, Chemical Brothers, Static-X, The Smiths, Psapp, Josh Joplin Group, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Dashb...

#98 - Couch Surfing Ep. 5: Nonfat Sugar Free Love

January 18, 2008 17:30 - 46 minutes - 21.1 MB

In episode five of Couch Surfing, John & Scott search for elusive curves on today's modern woman. They outlaw gossip magazines and also praise the new surprise hit show, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. After catching his breath from a title that's way too long, John welcomes Summer Glau back to science fiction. Scott proclaims effects powerhouse, Zoic Studios to be the North American version of WETA. The guys round out their week with a possible end in sight for the writers strike, a...

#97 - Couch Surfing Ep. 4: I Want My SMG TV

January 10, 2008 08:49 - 1 hour - 35.1 MB

In the fourth excursion of Couch Surfing, John & Scott live for the music. They go nuts over the entertaining adventures of Veronica Mars and Jaye Tyler, while exploring the possibly bleak future ahead for television and showing sympathy for Tim Minear. Eventually, Scott instigates a verbal slap fight, expressing his disappointment in Sarah Michelle Gellar, and her longstanding abandonment of the vampire slayer that made her famous. Attempting to prove that chivalry isn't dead, only missing a...

#96 - Couch Surfing Ep. 3: Sick Daze & Stabbing America

January 04, 2008 11:18 - 1 hour - 32.6 MB

For the third episode of Couch Surfing, John tries to call in sick, while Scott confesses his love of peddling comics on unsuspecting victims. John is lamenting the late, great Veronica Mars, having recently discovered the show on DVD at his local library. Scott longs for the days of a happy Spider-Man. The two also discuss hidden treasures to be found in novelizations of popular movies and television shows, as well as the joys of knifing Captain America and gutting that smug jerk like a fat ...

#95 - Couch Surfing Ep. 2: Cashey Money

December 31, 2007 08:53 - 1 hour - 37 MB

The second episode of Couch Surfing finds John & Scott in the aftermath of the holiday break. They discuss the pros and cons of dollars as presents, ebay and "rare" collectibles and what the future holds for the Academy Awards. Also of note: For those of you who might give a pretentious crap, you can finally hear what Bill Murray whispered to Scarlett Johansson at the end of Lost In Translation, by going here. We're still working out the kinks of this experimental show, but we hope you will l...

#94 - Couch Surfing Ep. 1: Smodulation

December 21, 2007 07:21 - 2 hours - 56.9 MB

Welcome to the first episode of Couch Surfing. This is a new section of Sofa Dogs, devoted to weekly discussions about the latest news in entertainment. Joining me on this experimental, maiden voyage is Scott Carelli, from Two Geeks, A Mic & A Podcast. Taking a page from the book of Kevin Smith (more like downright ripping out that page), we adopt the Smodcast structure, by playing music behind our random conversations. This is my first attempt at a podcast like this, so please send me feedba...

The Unhappening

December 18, 2007 21:32

While we were sorting out the general confusion, bewilderment and thumb-twiddling that led to first the sofadogs.com domain expiring and then the libsyn account going inactive, John still managed to distill his thoughts into mp3 form over at Geekshows.us. And when I say distill...well I guess I don't actually mean distill because his guest host spot on Two Geeks, a Mic and a Podcast lasted over two hours. And as an incredibly minor, insignificant side note, it turns out that my failure to r...
