/Filmcast Ep. 90 – Alice in Wonderland

by Jon Cole in Movies, TV798 days ago

Eric Vespe of Ain’t It Cool News joins the podcast this week, largely dominating the “What We’ve Been Watching” segment at the start of the show.  Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom stirs a bit of debate, considering Eric believes the film doesn’t get the attention and respect it deserves.  He makes the argument that the Last Crusade is very derivative of Raiders of the Lost Ark, while Temple of Doom starts from square one with an entertaining experience.  The first segment wraps up with a little bit of television...

The Geekbox: Episode 55

by Jon Cole in Games, TV808 days ago

Alice Liang joins the Geekbox since Karen is out this week and kicks things off by asking Higgins about Nick Simmons’ (son of Gene Simmons) blatant plagiarism of manga like “Bleach” in his personal comic book series, “Incarnate”.  Things move on to the weekly discussion of Lost, covering last week’s Jack-centric episode “The Lighthouse”.  Again, if you have some catching up to do on the series, check out the spoiler timestamps at the bottom of this post. Video games come up next, with some discussion...

The Geekbox: Episode 54

by Jon Cole in Games, Movies, TV814 days ago

With the UGO redesign over and his vacation complete, Mike Cruz finally returns to the Geekbox to talk about… Old Spice commercials and green screening.  Fortunately, Burn Notice talk comes up next and Fitch deals some dirt on a potential steamy relationship with Michael Westen and a relatively new character. Ryan Scott has been playing P.B. Winterbottom, a highly stylized puzzle game that is built upon time-shifting mechanics reminiscent of Braid.  Running on Xbox Live for only 800 points, Ryan thinks the game is worth far more than that...

The Geekbox: Episode 53

by Jon Cole in Games, Movies, TV821 days ago

Karen and Mike may be out of town, but Roadie Brock is more than enough to fill both their shoes for this testosterone-laden Geekbox.  Right off the bat, the guys talk about the latest episode of Lost (What Kate Does), so look out for spoilers from 2:20 – 16:50.  Staying in the TV vein, Burn Notice continues to be entertaining though might have some bromantic undertones that make Fitch a little bit uncomfortable.  Again, if you’re wary of spoilers, skip 17:00 – 21:00. Games talk is unsurprisingly capitalized by World of Warcraft,...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 152: Rambly Wandering

by Ross Adams in Games, Movies, TV822 days ago

In the past the TRS guys suggested Benicio Del Toro could be a real life wolfman but that doesn’t seem to have been transferred to the screen. Disappointment all round for The Wolfman, the style of the film gets the most praise with the guys enjoying the old school vibe. There’s some excitement at the prospect of Darren Aronofsky remaking Robocop. While they aren’t fans of the remake heavy climate there is some hope that Aronofsky could bring something interesting to the story of Robocop. God of War with extra boobs is how the...

/Filmcast Ep. 86 – From Paris with Love

by Jon Cole in Movies, TV827 days ago

As always, the /Filmcast starts with what the guys have been watching, with Devindra kicking things off.  He’s been watching The Dark Knight and has surprisingly found himself slightly disappointed in his second viewing, taking notice of the graceless cutting to minimize violent scenes.  Adam has been really satisfied with the beginning of the final season of Lost, so look out for spoilers around 10:30 – 24:20. Russ Fischer joins the regular /Filmcast crew for the news and review segments, jumping right into discussion of the Academy Award...

The Geekbox: Episode 52

by Jon Cole in Games, TV827 days ago

The Geekbox starts off with plenty of television talk, with Lost’s return, Burn Notice’s continuation, and Smallville’s newfound freshness.  If you’re particularly wary of spoilers and haven’t checked out the season premiere of Lost, skip 7:30 – 38:00. Higgins has been playing some more Star Trek Online and it seems like Fitch might give it a go, after the idea of playing as a Ferengi piqued his interest.  Bioshock 2′s release captured Karen’s attention, driving her to go to a launch party.  Unfortunately, nobody else...

The Geekbox: Episode 51

by Jon Cole in Games, TV834 days ago

The Geekbox comes early this week and Ryan Scott pledges that he’ll post the show every Tuesday to preempt each week’s episode of Lost.  Appropriately, the guys talk about a lot of television, covering the great return to form of Burn Notice and the four minute preview of the season premiere of Lost. For once, the Geekbox crew is on the edge of games coverage, with Karen playing a little bit of Mass Effect 2.  Unfortunately, she hasn’t had much time to play the game, but she seems mostly interested in the plot and apprehensive about the...

Three Red Lights

Three Red Lights Podcast Episode 136

by Jonathan Downin in Games834 days ago

Three Red Lights is back after a short hiatus and it is feels true to form with Erik back in the hosting seat. Some Lost fun starts the cast and then the guys move onto Dante’s Inferno. While it doesn’t sound like the guys have been blown away by the game, they say that the actual quality doesn’t warrant a lot of the negative reactions that it has been receiving. Bioshock 2 is less than a week away and the inclusion of a narrative-based multiplayer has the guys wondering if it is necessary. Mass Effect 2 gets an obligatory mention...

at1UP: 02/02/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, TV836 days ago

Lost starts its 6th and final season tonight, so this week’s at1UP starts with Mike trying to share his excitement with Travis and Jade. at1UP episodes have been inconsistent over the past couple months and Mike reveals that this was because he and Travis were helping with the UGO.com redesign– and it’s looks pretty snazzy. Mike finished Darksiders and shares some thoughts about it before Travis talks about his dilema about whether to replay Mass Effect again before Mass Effect 2. A bit of comic talk leads into the obligatory TV...

The Geekbox: Episode 50

by Jon Cole in Games, TV841 days ago

Patrick Joynt joins the Geekbox crew this week and clearly wants to talk some Avatar.  Unfortunately, there’s not much new to hear from the regulars, with Patrick and Karen mustering a small defense for the visual effects and characterization. For those of you who are weary of Burn Notice spoilers, have no fear!  Patrick and Karen didn’t get a chance to check out the latest episode, so both Ryans and Fitch try to talk around the plot.  In other television news, Lost premiers next week, so Ryan Scott tosses out some major questions that he’d...

Three Red Lights

Three Red Lights Podcast: Episode 134

by Jonathan Downin in Games849 days ago

We get an episode of TRL this week, but with Greg and Ryan on the cast it feels more like Podcast Beyond. Lost starts the conversation with its new season starting soon. Dark Void discussion takes over with Greg and crew coming down hard on the game. There is nary a positive word said about it, and the 5.0 score on IGN seems to be among the lowest in the press. Xbox 360 hardware issues have struck again in what seems to be an extremely unlucky stretch for the reliability of the console. The conversation then moves to a more positive place with everyone...

The Geekbox: Episode 48

by Jon Cole in Games, Movies, TV854 days ago

After a little bit of light talk about television, Ryan Higgins talks about his recent experiences with Demon’s Souls.  He’s been encountering the odd game design choices that people often complain about and it’s particularly interesting to hear a take on the game from someone who doesn’t play a wide variety of games.  Ultimately, he’s been enjoying the game, despite the lack of instruction of basic game mechanics. Fitch has been playing Bayonetta and makes a fairly original comparison to God Hand, which had a similar over-the-top style...

The Geekbox: Episode 47

by Jon Cole in Games, Movies, TV860 days ago

With Justin Haywald joining a slightly thinned Geekbox crew, Zelda: Spirit Tracks kicks off the episode.  Justin vents some of his frustration with the navigation of the game, namely riding the trains, which he determines is somehow worse than sailing in Phantom Hourglass.  He also says that the game is pretty difficult, ranking among the Oracle pair on the Game Boy Color. After some discussion of the upcoming A-Team movie, Justin brings up the recent Kick-Ass trailer, which is a cardinal sin among the Ryans.  Mark Millar has clearly done and...

The Geekbox: Episode 37

by Jon Cole in Games, Misc, TV931 days ago

This week’s episode of The Geekbox comes in a little late and fortunately makes up for it with Brock, the stripper-guardian/podcast roadie extraordinaire.  Fitch reports in on his previous week of every-day-of-the-week dates, with plenty of the pseudo-modesty that you might come to expect from the “playa”. Tropico 3 gets discussed yet again, with Karen coming away from it dissatisfied with the fact that you have to actually build up an economy before you can torture innocent citizens.  Ryan Higgins has picked up Tales of Vesperia after a...
