CastMedium Podcast 087 – Media Consumption Corner #5

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies, TV238 days ago

It’s time for another round of media, but we do briefly hit some Apple stuff from WWDC before jumping into the show proper. In games it is a mix of throwbacks and new technology. I spend a few contradiction-filled minutes talking about Dream:scape (I really do like it) and then hit some DarkStar One. Then it is on to Jon who has finally made the plunge into OnLive. Jon kicks off movies with some X-Men: First Class talk, and then I hit a trio of documentaries from HBO. Erik starts TV talk with Game of Thrones (no spoilers) and that leads into...

CastMedium Podcast 083 – Media Consumption Corner #4

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies267 days ago

It’s that time again where we look back over the media-related items that we have been consuming and we have a long list of things this time around. There is a lot of great stuff in here, but even if you are not going to look into all of the things we mention this time around, do yourself a favor and catch the 2 videos below. They are both music related, but they are both amazing in their own rights. Michael Bolton – Straight out of Compton — Someone make this happen. TV The Wire Game of Thrones Sherlock Ken Burns – Civil...

CastMedium Podcast 080 – Media Consumption Corner #3

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies288 days ago

We are back to talking about what we’ve been playing, watching and listening to this week — that’s right, music gets some time too. Here’s the list: Games Tiger Woods 12 Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes HD Portal 2 Co-op Section 8: Prejudice Death Rally Fling Movies Red Box Hanna Music Arcade Fire/The National The XX Jon and I had a few “discussions” regarding The Fast & the Furious franchise, Tron: Legacy and the Black Eyed Peas. The most heated one was a debate on the merits of the Black Eyed...

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies, TV351 days ago

It is our first all Media Consumption Corner episode this week. We skip the news (except for a few words about Pauls Miller’s exit from Engadget), and go straight into stuff we have been– you know, consuming over the past month or so. Here’s the breakdown by medium: Games: Dead Space 2, Dead Space iOS TV: Buffy/Angel, When We Left Earth Movies: Exit Through the Gift Shop, King’s Speech, I’m Still Here Books: House of Suns We are back to a regular focused show next week, so check back for that. Also, be sure to let us...

Jon’s Podcast Recommendation #2: The Totally Rad Show

by Jon Cole in Games, Movies, Podcasts, TV351 days ago

When I first heard that The Totally Rad Show was going to be changing format from a weekly video show to a bite-sized daily segments, it seemed clear that this was primarily a move to serve sponsors and garner more “clicks”. After finally giving it a chance a couple weeks later, I was proven dead wrong and earned a new appreciation for one of Revision3′s longest running podcasts. Basically, our hosts Jeff Cannata, Daniel Trachtenburg, and Alex Albrecht take us on a daily ride into a single movie, video game, television show, comic...

Behind the Screened Door 02-07-2011

by Jon Cole in Movies, TV365 days ago

This week’s Screened-cast starts things off with discussion about this year’s Super Bowl. The pre-show butchering of the National Anthem, Frank Caliendo, crazy sports commentator shenanigans, and a jingoistic America F-yeah! montage join the terrible Black Eyed Peas halftime show add up to a bizarre peripheral Super Bowl experience, but the game itself and a handful of solid commercials seemed to make the whole thing worthwhile to the guys. Rorie reviewed The Roommate this week, which seems to be a boiled down, college-age version of...

Behind the Screened Door 02-01-2011

by Jon Cole in Movies371 days ago

This week’s Behind the Screened Door is back to normal after last week’s Oscar bonanza, starting things off with Alex’s impressions of The Mechanic. In typical Jason Statham movie fashion, the film doesn’t really have a substantive plot but manages to entertain with the good fight scenes and a fun assassination training montage with Ben Foster. They proceed to talk more about Statham’s career, which they heartily agree could just as easily fit into the same mold as Schwarzenegger’s. Rorie dives into The Rite,...

Behind the Screened Door 01-25-2011

by Jon Cole in Movies378 days ago

Gary Whitta wanders in from the Tested side of the office to be a guest on this week’s Behind the Screened Door, primarily showing up to discuss the Oscar nominations. First off, the guys talk about how the ten nominations for best picture are far more appropriate in this year of movies, due to the huge pool of fantastic films with many that people have actually heard of. The King’s Speech and The Social Network are clearly the front-runners of the pack, though Alex and Gary agree that Inception may be the reasonable, populist pick. Colin...

CastMedium Podcast 068 – 01.27.11

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech, TV379 days ago

After a week hiatus we are back. Did you hear that I’m the new producer for the Joystiq Podcast? Also, Jeff Gerstmann has been putting together a little show over the past couple weeks that you may want to check out. In games it’s all reactions and speculation on Nintendo and Sony’s latest forays into the handheld market. 3DS is coming in at a hot $249, and none of us are too pleased about it. Word that the PSP2 may have 3G connectivity built-in sounds nice, but wariness about data plans quickly quells our enthusiasm. Oh, and...

The Oddcast – Episode 50 – 1/18/2011

by Alex Martin in Games, Misc, Movies386 days ago

Starting the episode in medias res, Alice, Chris, Sam, and Tina laugh at Jerry Rice and Nitus’ Dog Football for Wii. The latest trailer for Catherine is almost as bizarre, but for sexier reasons. Next, they move on to a Nintendo-heavy news segment. Nintendo CEO, Satoru Iwata, admitted the 3DS is probably safe for young children. Indie developer The Behemoth is holding a Castle Crashers tournament with a gold-plated Xbox 360 as the grand prize. Nobody’s surprised at Nintendo’s plans to repackage old games for the 3DS. Finally,...

Drunken Gamers Radio 1.9.2011

by Nikko Kusanagi in Games, Misc, Movies, TV392 days ago

It’s the first episode since the DGR Daryl awards. John, Moe, and Hilden brought you their favorite games of 2010 last week. This week however, they’re simply talking about their favorite things in general for the year including movies, TV, and other hot topics. Drunk dials and mailbag as always starts out the show, then they jump right into talking about 2010. What impressed them, disappointed them, or accomplished neither. Random Retro Review continues. This week’s game is Jurassic Park (SNES). Did they love it, hate...

Episode 48 – Parole Set for 2/10 – 1/12/2011

by Alex Martin in Movies, Tech392 days ago

With CES content still being published on Tested, Will, Norm, and Gary start this podcast with a summary of some of the show’s standout products. These include the Motorola Atrix PC/Android-phone hybrid, Lady Gaga’s camera glasses, Sony’s 3D headset, and Toshiba’s glassesless 3D TVs. They also look at why no one trend emerged as a highlight of the show. Before moving on to the news, Gary’s research (for a science fiction project) into Lagrangian points prompts an interesting, if inexpert, physics discussion. The biggest...

Behind the Screened Door 01-10-2011

by Jon Cole in Movies, TV393 days ago

Comic Vine’s Tony Guerrero joins this week’s Behind the Screened Door, guiding the opening of the show towards comic book fare with some talk about The Cape. All of the guys watched the pilot episode and seemed mostly unimpressed, pointing out the various plot holes, overly dramatic scenes, and lack of solid characterization for the titular character. Alex capitalizes on Tony’s appearance early in the show to cover some comic related news, including the idea of a Wonder Woman television show and the most promising comic film of...
