Tv Ate My Dinner

Sean, Greg, Lynn and Gary talk about some unfortunate comic book adaptations, like the 1994 Fantastic Four that never saw the light of day, the disastrous Justice League TV pilot, the Dolph Lundgren Punisher and various Captain America movies. The Joel Schumacher Batman films also rear their ugly heads. Plus there's some more talk about sex in space and the upcoming TVAMD World Weird Tour.

Sean, Greg and Gary return to talk about the magic of the 80’s and the genius of Charlie Sheen. But seriously, how can we say the 80’s are back if “The Legend of Billie Jean” isn’t available on DVD? I’m just sayin’... Also, we honor Terry Kiser from “Weekend At Bernie’s” with the Johnny Drama Award.

Sean and Greg talk to Scary Gary about the icons of the 80's. From Jason Voorhees to Lando Calrissian, 80's movies and television made anthems out of everything. The mere mention of Empire Strikes Back sparks some talk of the upcoming 3-D release of the Star Wars movies, but there is much discussion of Buck Rogers, Rambo, Star Trek, Superman, Conan, the Ghostbusters and everything 80's that's either making a comeback or never went away.

Sean, Lynn and Tracy discuss the phenomenon of Women in Refrigerators, the unsettling trend in comics (and by extension all scifi and fantasy) for female characters to be killed, raped, depowered, mind controlled and forcibly impregnated. The tragic fates of Carol Danvers, Karen Page and Gwen Stacey are compared to their TV sisters, most notably Joss Whedon characters like Jenny Calendar, Fred and Tara. Whedon talk leads to discussion of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly and Dollhouse, plus an earnest look at the dark side of Dawn-bashing. Also there is discussuion of information generation movies like "Catfish" and "The Social Network".

Sean and Greg discuss how porn stars can save education, the space program,and possibly the world. There's also some talk of chasing ghosts with psychic strippers, Matthew Perry's new TV series Mr. Sunshine, Aaron Sorkin, social networking, our digital legacy and the fate of Charlie Sheen.

Sean, Lynn and Tracy return to discuss the logistics of sex in space, the first humans born on Mars, Mega Python vs. Gatoroid, Nicholas Worth, Galaxina, Flesh Gordon, Dungeons & Dragons and how vegetarianism can lead to cannibalism and zombiism.

Sean teams with Lynn and Tracy to discuss the logistics of sex in space, the first humans born on Mars, a world without men and the diminution of the y chromosome.  We also talk about the Last Airbender.

  "This is a particularly bad one..." Greg Sean, Greg and Lynn talk about the casting choices for The Dark Knight Rises, Splice, Return to Frogtown, and Dolph Lundgren's upcoming movie, In the Name of the King 2. But is that enough to make Greg happy? No. He says this episode sucks. You be the judge...  

Despite some technical difficulties talking across the world, Sean and Greg connect with Lynn to celebrate Valentine's Day with a tribute to Romantic Comedies. It starts with When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle and leads to Patrick Dempsey's Made of Honor and Gerard Butler's predilection towards bad boy roles in the Bounty Hunter and the Ugly Truth. But somehow it goes from Love Actually to horror exploitation like The Human Centipede (which has nothing to do with Romantic Comedy). Plus a little more talk about TRON: Legacy.

And other topics. From 3-D to HD to V to Zero-G, Sean, Greg, Lynn and Tracy talk about everything from cannibalism to carnal pleasure in the outer atmosphere.  So you've been warned, Gretchen. This might not be one for the kids.

Sean, Greg, Lynn and Tracy go over the Green Hornet, Splice, Stephen King, Pontypool, the Russell Crowe Robin Hood, and Ricky Gervais' hosting of the Golden Globes. And a bunch of other stuff. We're just happy to be back, folks...

Sean and Greg talk TRON 2, the upcoming Green Lantern and Thor movies, what's wrong with Superman, the future of the X-Men and Transformers, and how the Hugh Jackman film Real Steel is a modern redo of the Stuart Gordon classic Robot Jox. Oh yeah, we're back...

Just kidding, this episode has nothing to do with Christmas. Sean and Ruud have a nice off the cuff conversation about international pop culture, guns and drugs, robot laws, reality TV, the future of space travel, superheroes, sitcoms, CG and the our newfound ability to see things in three dimensions. What a way to spend the last episode of the year...

Sean, Greg and Lynn return to discuss the Lord of the Rings and the forgotten characters like Tom Bombadil who never seemed to make it off the page and onto the screen. Quick Note: It is mentioned that the Hobbit movie project is in development Hell, but since this episode was recorded that situation has changed and the project is progressing.  

Sean, Greg and Lynn look at the unsung heroes of Lord of the Rings. From Glorfindel to figwit, they discuss characters who didn't make it out of the book and those who were never in it at all. Sean also reviews Dolph Lundgren's role in The Expendables (again).

After last episode's chilling cliffhanger ending, the boys return to discuss the future of robots and the laws humans should follow in order to make it a good one.
