At long last, it is part two of the mega-geekout with Tee Morris. Here we discuss the upcoming movies that we saw previewed before Iron Man. Enjoy, and hope this gets you excited for the summer of fun we have before us!

This episode we discuss the TV upfronts. All the shows we discuss can be found here at TV.com. I'll provide individual links as the list trims down and/or more info becomes available.
We also talk about Balticon and all the wonderful folks we hung out with there. We'll be highlighting one or more person in most episodes from here out, and though we mention Paul Fischer, Martha Holloway, and Mur Lafferty, our spotlight for this episode shines on Doug Rapson from the Geek Acres podcast.

Hope you enjoy the discussion!

PS: We also mention, briefly, the Serenity screenings being held as a part of the Can't Stop the Serenity event. Please visit their site and support this worthy event.

Another uber-long geekout at Imagine That Studios with Tee Morris. This time we're discussing the first big movie of the summer... Iron Man. We start with my spoiler-free review, and then go into spoilers aplenty, so be warned. We go on to talk about the trailers we saw and the movies that will be coming this summer, but that will be the next episode of the GGL. For now, I hope you have as much fun listening to this as we had recording it. Hurdy gur, -Marc

In this episode I discuss sick days, TV news, and an important birthday.

Too many shows mentioned for me to list them all, but we should be back to the usual shownotes next time.

Or... maybe the time after that.

Welcome to the grand experiment that is the first Grailwolf's Geekout. I explain in the intro, but basically these will show up every 2-4 weeks, or when there are things to geek out about. In this case, Heather and I go to Imagine That! Studios to Geek Out with Tee Morris about the first episode of the new season of Battlestar Galactica.
Yes, Virginia, there are spoilers, so please beware if you have not seen the episode. Of course, we spend so much time talking about things other than BSG that you may not have to worry all that much. Your call.

Hope you enjoy the banter, and let me know what you think!

PS: Yes, I am aware of two flaws in this episode. First, it's frakking huge. Second, there are some audio glitches in the intro. Well, unfortunately I'm still transitioning from the PC to the Mac, and the PC is giving me a lot of trouble when I try to record.

PPS: I also want to apologize for the show going up so late (I originally promised it for Thursday night) but our Internet is only allowing sporadic access, so uploading files is a major undertaking. If this causes any other problems with the file, please let me know.

(NOTE: There are some persistent audio problems in this episode. They apparently occurred during recording, so there was nothing I could do about it. Sorry, but we'll try to keep it from happening next time.)

After a little discussion of why the show is late, we jump into a review of the DVD title The Call of Cthulhu, produced by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. Then a new promo for Mur Lafferty's podcast novel Playing For Keeps (performed by Podcasting's Rich Sigfrit, and yes I do know that there's an editing error in the promo). Finally, a discussion of the new TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and then the song Superhero by Anthony Stauffer and Holy Smoke (not the song My Secret Origin by Ookla the Mok, which you can find at CD Baby and on Stories of the Third Wave, episode 6).

Many apologies to T.J. and the other listeners who sent in feedback and content. There will be a listener appreciation show very soon. Promise.

Hurdy gur,
-Marc

PS: The song Superhero is occasionally used as an outro for the Heroes podcast The 9th, not The Ninth Wonder, as I said in the podcast. My bad. :)

Super-lazy Shownotes!!!!

On this episode I discuss Cloverfield (also see our other, more spoilery review on the ADD Cast feed). Then we have a promo for Christiana Ellis' new audio drama Space Casey. Finally, I talk about Fido and Dragon Wars on DVD.

Keep checking back, because a new episode should be up really soon!

This time we start out talking a bit about the TV shows we may see in early 2008 including Lost (1/31), Jericho (2/12), Medium (1/7), Torchwood (1/26), Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (1/13 & 1/14), and New Amsterdam (2/22).
- Then we discuss Mur Lafferty and her new podcast novel Playing For Keeps. Definitely check that one out along with Mur's other projects, which can all be found from her official website.
The short story Barry Coleman: Hero can be found on Podiobooks.com as a part of the compilation Voices: New Media Fiction.
- Check out Xander and his brilliant Twitterfic on Twitter.com.
- Morevi, the first ever podcast novel, is being released again as Morevi Remastered. Must. Listen.
- I talk about the Kindle, from Amazon.com, and what it may mean to us as readers. Click here if you decide you want to buy it. Can't say I really recommend it though. I'll have to see where they go with the design.
- Finally, I have to report the untimely death of the HOWL line. I'll let you know as soon as we have a new voicemail line up & running

Hope you enjoy the episode and have a great holiday!
