It’s Weekend Justice: the Internet’s #1 audio trainwreck…finally back with another pre-DragonCon episode as we try to clear out the archives now that 2nd Halloween is over. This was recorded before the con, so when you run across those bits, don’t be alarmed.
It’s the Sony Legacy Edition of Piano Man from Billy Joel. This two-disc set is pretty sweet–here’s what they have to say for themselves:
It’s Weekend Justice: the Internet’s #1 audio trainwreck. It’s the podcast that goes shopping for sex toys at 2pm in the afternoon over a long lunch and just doesn’t give a damn. So this podcast was engineered–some might say over-engineered–by experts to escort you from the work week in the most chaotic manner possible. Please note: this podcast is profane, definitely oversexed and definitely overwrought. It is wrong and unsafe. You have been warned.
Agenda:
It’s Weekend Justice: the Internet’s #1 audio trainwreck. It’s the podcast that obscures your sky. So you can stay home. Yeah, you’re welcome. Anyway, this podcast was engineered–some might say over-engineered–by experts to escort you from the work week in the most chaotic manner possible. Please note: this podcast is profane, definitely oversexed and definitely overwrought. It is wrong and unsafe. You have been warned.
Agenda:
It’s The Last Play at Shea, out from Lionsgate on DVD. Here’s what they have to say for themselves:
This podcast generally covers music and other transgressions and is co-hosted by Rob Levy, Tuffley and myself. Let us know what you think.
This episode’s central topic is musicians who think they’re actors and actors who think they’re musicians. Some people can pull off one or the other–some can do both. And why is it easy for some musicians to naturally make the transition over?
Other topics include Billy Joel vs. his drummer, Paul McCartney jumps ship from EMI, Primus returns–and sucks, Cirque announces their Michael Jackson show and even more.
Headsup: You can find the music we discuss at our Amazon Store.

And we’re back. Please note: this podcast, if you haven’t figured it out, is profane and not safe for consumption by children or animals. Or sentient creatures of any sort. Or even cardboard boxes. Nothing. Nobody. Got it?
Agenda:
Our friend and yours, Jonathan Coulton, brings a Billy Joel cover song out from the privacy of his own room. It’s a sweet version of it to be sure.

It’s the Billy Joel song-fueled remake of Oliver Twist with animals, Oliver & Company, hitting DVD from Disney on February 3rd. And we’ve got two copies to give away. What a deal. Here, have a trailer:
An ongoing attempt to make sense of the onslaught of new swag that people want you to buy. Should you? I’ll try and help.

The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch is the tale of an underground circus, and some friends who, with Miss Finch in tow, attend. And what happens next, which you can guess has something to do with the title and leaving. There’s something to be said for Gaiman‘s story, which as the book explains hasn’t exactly been made widely available on this side of the pond (and has shades of Gaiman’s work on Alice Cooper’s Last Temptation–no surprise, as Zulli provided art for that as well). Any Gaiman is better than a lot of other fiction writers working today. There’s something to be said for Todd Klein adapting the thing for this Dark Horse edition (and I’ve seen a lot of people attributing the whole thing to Michael Zulli, so…). But the thing that I was most looking forward to was seeing the aforementioned Mr. Zulli do smilodons. I’m not giving anything away–there’s one on the cover. An excellent addition to anyone’s Gaiman shelf, unless like me, yours is spilling onto a second shelf. (Click here to buy it from Amazon.)
It’s not secret we’re big proponents of Pixar around here. Even now that they’ve merged with Disney into a Skynet-like animation deity called Dixar. But if you want to pull back the curtain to see the little man behind it (or in this case, the cadre of animators), then The Pixar Touch from Knopf by David A. Price is the ticket. Seriously though, what do we, the pop culture nerds, know about Pixar beyond the fact that we want to work there and that John Lasseter has been accepted by many of us as their lord and personal savior? Price lets us know how a company went from zero to being the leading animation house of our time in a relatively short amount of time. And it’s not like it’s a wart-free story–it’s fairly treated. For Pixar fans, you’re going to want to check this out. Recommended. (Click here to buy it from Amazon.)
