The unplanned anniversary: Episode 20

As Episode 20 kicks off, Jason and Chuck realize that the iconogeek podcast is indeed 1year old. Happy Birthday to us! First stop Jason gets infected by the Zombie virus and proceeds to play every PS3 game he owns, finishes and shows his love for Metal Gear 4, Fable2, and Dead Space. Chuck then geeks out on his Nikon D40x DSLR and goes back to highschool as he and Jason bond over fstops.

Chuck’s childhood Jedi collaborator stops and becomes a believer in Guitar Hero World Tour (Chuck’s new favorite distraction)

Chuck and Jason then run through the great crop of TV. Battlestar Galactica is back, Chuck eats his words, and Jason drops a hint about a new BSG spinoff. Jason makes Chuck’s day by delivering some great Watchmen news and teases some new trailers: Franklyn, Outlander, Crank 2, and Taken.

By the gods, it’s frakkin’ back.

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video

HUGE, huge, huge, huge fan of BSG (to the uninitiated, that’s Battlestar Galactica). For those of you who remember the 80’s SciFi show, this has the same basic premise, but ups the ante 100-fold to create one of the best dramas on television. Top-notch acting, blockbuster SFX, and exceptional writing make this show a must-see. If you have not gotten into BSG, do it now! This is the final season of the show and it starts on April 4th on the SciFi channel (check your local listings). The first 3 seasons are available on DVD so go pick ‘em up and get sucked in.

To help ease the transition, I’ve posted the “What the Frak” recap above. enjoy.
