Tv Ate My Dinner

Sean, Brooks and Greg return to the future to discuss trends in baby names, the Donkey Kong high score, robots, rayguns, & rocketpacks, and the prophetic John Boorman scifi classic, Zardoz.

Sean, Brooks and Greg return to the topic of fixing the future by talking about baby names and Facebook.  Is our obsession with social networking and cell phones evidence of a deeper need to connect with each other?  Or are we just attention-obsessed?

Brooks returns and joins Andrew, Sean & Greg to talk about the future of mankind and what we need to do to fix it. They also discuss the new Christopher Nolan movie Inception, Cormac McCarthy's apocalypse epic The Road, and the Vanilla Ice classic, Cool As Ice. Looks like the future is in good hands...

Everyone loves to poke at the Highlander sequels, and truth be told they make it easy.  But with a remake right around the bend, maybe we should direct a little reconstructive criticism towards how the sequels should be handled this time around.

From the Darmok episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation to Helen Keller, Sean and Greg talk language with Tracy.  How would we communicate with aliens?  Math or music? And why are there so many types of sign language?

Sean and Greg join Tracy to talk about language in Scifi but end up discussing why the Karate Kid is about Kung Fu, Avatar vs. District 9, the future of Superman and the Spider-man reboot, Thor, Green Lantern and the new A-Team movie.

Who is the man in black? How did he become a smoke monster? What is Jacob's plan? What is the light at the heart of the island? Why does the big foot only have 4 toes? Is it purgatory or an alternate timeline? What lies in the shadow of the statue? What do the numbers mean? Who was the President in 1975? Sean, Andrew and Greg continue to explore the many mysteries of LOST and nearly come to blows on the topic of whether or not the last season even really happened.  

Sean, Greg and Andrew talk about nothing but LOST.  Seriously, there's not a moment to spend on any other topic, and this is just Part 1...

Greg, Sean and Lynn compare new scifi shows and movies to the good old days, discussing how far removed Caprica is from the classic Battlestar Galactica, why Avatar isn't as eco-friendly as it claims to be, the merits of the new Spartacus TV series and the mysteries of the Coral Castle, another monument purporting to be America's Stonehenge. And somehow we manage to blame Steven Seagal for the decline of modern scifi.  

Here's a blast from the past in the form of one of Sean's old radio shows.  Sean hosted a show playing songs from movie soundtracks on WWGC, 90.7 FM in Carrollton, circa 1996.

Sean and Greg reunite with Gary to talk MacGyver, how director's cut DVD's are keeping movies from ever being finished, and reconstructive criticism for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Sean and Greg talk about St. Patrick's Day in Savannah, the importance of free speech, Call of Duty and the Crazies.  Then it just ends abruptly with no warning.

Sean and Greg return with Andrew to re-imagine the Star Wars prequels with their own special zing.  A love triangle between Obi Wan, Anakin and the woman they both want?  Yoda as an outcast?  Alderaan as the birthplace of the rebellion?  These are just a few of the ideas we toy with.   Plus we talk about Red letter media's take on the Star Trek films.  

Sean, Greg and Andrew set out into the taboo territory of the Star Wars Prequels not to complain, but to throw their own notes into the ring as to how they would have handled Episode I, II & III.  Plus they discuss the Clash of the Titans remake.

Sean and Greg talk women in scifi for a minute with new guest host Jessica, but mostly we talk about the state of the future, the end of the world, the dangers of summoning Cthulhu and whether or not video game violence has gone too far.

Sean, Greg and Lynn finally talk Frankenstein in this supersized monster episode!

Sean and Greg return with David to discuss the future, games, the future of games and how games will affect the future in the future.

Sean and Greg talk about the past and future of video games with their old friend David.  From Atari Adventure to Left 4 Dead, video games are slowly graduating into the roleplaying arena and beyond.  So what does the future hold for gaming?  And will it affect the future of the world in general?

Sean, Brooks & Greg bring in the second half of their centennial celebration with Lynn, Andrew and Tupa.  This time the talk turns to absinthe, monster trucks, and trivia.
