Hop in your time machine and listen to our latest Book Club installment--and then be sure to travel back and prevent the podcast from having ever been recorded, because time travel is tricky like that. We discuss "How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe" and other time travel books we have liked.
Special guests Glenn Fleishman & Scott McNulty.

If you do something every Christmas for six years, it's time to call it a tradition. And so we have to add the "Doctor Who" Christmas special to our lists. We enjoyed this year's episode, "A Christmas Carol," so much, we recorded this flash podcast to talk about it. Happy holidays, everyone.
Special guests Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman, Scott McNulty, and Serenity Caldwell.

Is "Die Hard" the greatest Christmas movie ever made? Dan Moren thinks so. Others are less sure, but there's no denying how great this seminal '80s action flick is. We discuss John McClane's adventure at Nakatomi Plaza, as well as other Christmas movies and TV shows we have loved.
Special guests Dan Moren, Greg Knauss, and Steve Lutz.

Greetings, programs! It's time to talk about "Tron" and the new sequel, "Tron Legacy." Also, what's the appropriate use of CGI? When should creators go back and use computers to "improve" their work? And does Jeff Bridges' CGI doppelganger fall right into the middle of the Uncanny Valley?
Special guests Dan Moren, John Siracusa, and Serenity Caldwell.

A new topic on the podast: video games! We talk classic (okay, OLD) games as well as the latest and greatest motion-controlled games. From Pong to the Kinect, we've got it covered--plus why the human race is doomed if someone invents a holodeck.

In honor of the release of the seventh Harry Potter film, we convene a collection of panelists to discuss the books, the movies, the phenomenon that is J.K. Rowling's young-wizard saga. (If you haven't read the series, there are spoilers and also the entire podcast will make no sense. Except for the part about "Magnum P.I." and Pablo Picasso. This episode sponsored by the word "exegesis" and the musical stylings of Tom Bombadil.)
Special guests Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman, and Serenity Caldwell.

Discussing Joss Whedon, from Buffy to Firefly (to the Avengers?) and everything in between. What’s the appeal? What are our favorite episodes? Why did Firefly die young and leave a great-looking corpse?
