Emerging from the terror of our archives, we bring you this, recorded live in front of a studio audience (yes, again) at DragonCon 2015. Special thanks to Jon Boutelle and The Unique Geek crew for getting us on tape.
Based on a popular series of twelve novels by Winston Graham published between 1945 and 2002, Poldark was a ratings hit when it aired on the BBC. The series was nominated for awards worldwide and won a BAFTA, a Royal Television Society Award, a TV Choice (UK) Award, and a Broadcasting Press Guild Award.
“The critically-acclaimed series Poldark, starring Aidan Turner (The Hobbit) as the smoldering Ross Poldark and Eleanor Tomlinson (Death Comes to Pemberley) as the fiery Demelza, follows the thrilling story of solider Ross Poldark after his return to Cornwall from fighting in the American Revolution. Once he is back in Cornwall he realizes that his life at home has been completely turned upside down – his father is dead, his lands are gone, and the love of his life has agreed to marry someone else. Ross comes to find that his fighting days are far from over. Will he be able to return his crumbling estate to its former glory? Will an unexpected romance change his life forever? Follow Ross Poldark’s journey and watch the whole saga unfold in the 44 episodes that comprise the complete series.” — from PBS

“Based on Joseph Heller’s seminal novel of the same name, Catch-22 is the story of the incomparable, artful dodger, Yossarian (Christopher Abbott), a US Air Force bombardier in World War II who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy, but rather his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid his military assignments, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specifies that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relieved from duty.” — from Paramount
Catch-22 is now available on DVD, with all six episodes of the limited series along with over an hour of bonus content. Among the extras are a three-part behind-the-scenes feature (“The Cogs of War”), deleted scenes, and outtakes. The DVD set is on Amazon for $17.99. Fans should know you can get the entire miniseries there digitally for just $9.99, so it’s up to you to decide if the hour of bonus content merits the $8.00 increase in price.

Even if you’ve never watched The Big Bang Theory, you’ve probably felt some of its wide-reaching fringe effects (there’s even a Brazilian bee species named after Sheldon Cooper’s catchphrase, “Bazinga!”). Like millions of others, though, you may well be a fan (and perhaps a mega-fan) of the series. If one or more members of your own “nerd herd” land in the latter category, the new complete series set just released from Warner Brothers may be the perfect gift for them (or for yourself!) this holiday season.
It’s Weekend Justice: the Internet’s #1 audio trainwreck. This episode is from the archives: recorded in May 2016.
Agenda:
It’s Episode #192 for Avengers: Damage Control, in which our protagonist thinks he’s in the line for the restroom but instead finds himself testing new battle armor with the Avengers? This is either a VR game or he’s eaten those damn glowing shrooms again…
The onslaught of limited edition flavors of things never ceases to amuse me. Of course, because I am a sucker for all things limited edition (due to an intense and terminal case of FOMO), I have to try all of them I can. And with Pringles, the reaction has been on a scale from Jamaican Jerk (pretty good but nothing to write home about) to White Chocolate (basically a war crime). Because we are in the Thanksgiving/2nd Halloween season, they’ve now put out a Limited Edition Roasted Turkey flavor.
