The unplanned anniversary: Episode 20

iconogeek — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 03:55:41 +0000

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.

As Episode 18 kicks off, Jason is intrigued by Chuck’s son’s iPod ‘s playlist.

Jason then reveals his wife’s affectation and utter terror with zombies. Jay’s been catching up with Battlestar Galactica and Chuck warns of the impending “suck” in season 4. Chuck reminisces about Space: Above and Beyond and compares Star Trek to BSG.

Jason then sparks a conversation about David Duchovny and lays down his review on RocknRolla and the Guy Ritchie character cannon. As Chuck preps to watch “Shoot ‘em up,” he feels compelled to justify his disdain for “Crank,” “Air Force One,” and “24.” Jason attempts to poke holes in Chuck’s 24 shark jump theory by playing the porn card. They then discuss the Tr2n trailer and how cool the original Tron was in its day.

The show wraps with the great slate of DVD’s coming out this month.

By the gods, it’s frakkin’ back.

Chuck — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 10:23:10 +0000

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.
