Podcasts:
We talk about our first sci-fi/fantasy/comic convention experiences and delve into our conceptions (and misconceptions) about the process of gathering in the name of geek. GWC listener (and active community member) Julie joins us to tell us about losing her con virginity at the biggest fan con of 'em all, Dragon*Con. And we run down the week in geek, including a serious discussion (no, really) about the upcoming not-trying-to-be-cheesy sci-fi porn flick Horizon (and what defines porn), some drooling (and whining) over the Nike Mag (read: Back to the Future) sneakers, and lots of upcoming TV goodness.
We ask the question: What kind of geek are you? We discuss the Conan backlash. And we run down the week in geek, including, well, lots of geek-related news and awesomeness.
Charles Brownstein introduces us to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, and we discuss cultural differences in fandom. Sean digs into Deus Ex: Human Revolution. And we run down the week in geek, including GameStop's broken seal game modifications, new news on Underworld 4, Superman's new outfit (or lack thereof), and Jurassic Park-themed sex roleplay.
We offer some just-back-from-the-theater commentary on the new 'Apes movie. And we run down the week in geek, including Sean's Dragon Siege 3 experience, an early take on Conan (now with 100% more Momoa), the scornful Forza 4 Walmart Mini, the wisp of new Babylon 5 production possibility, and big Blade Runner news.
We continue our discussion of sci-fi vehicles focusing on pilot-able giant robots. And we run down the week in geek, including Warehouse 13's renewal, Eureka's cancellation sega, Sean's Cowboys and Aliens impressions, SyFy's web series Mercury Men, the new season of The Guild, Fox's upcoming show Terra Nova, and fan reactions to the new less-pleather-more-tactical Catwoman suit. We're joined by our friend (and long-time GWCer) Shooter.
