Ep 124 Frank Woodward and Douglas Tait Aug 28, 2012

Show notes

Chris and Graham welcome back Frank Woodward (Director of "Lovecraft Fear of the Unknown') and suit actor Douglas Tait. Very interesting talk about Frank's new film, Men In Suits. About suit actors, like Douglas Tait, and what they go trough like acting with 130 lbs costumes. Then Chris telss us all how much fun Expendables 2 was. Graham thought Premium Rush was a cliche on wheels. Douglas and his two kids loved ParaNorman. Not too much in the way of DVDs to get excited about. New releases and more fun than your own Bigfoot suit!

Fun times in the nerd garage with popular podcasters Keith and The Girl! Graham was just so-so about Total Recall.

Ep 120 Paul F. Tompkins Jul 31, 2012

Show notes

Chris and Graham welcome back Paul F. Tompkins to the nerd HQ. It's a Step-Up Revolution spoiler alert!!! Graham was unaware that flash mobs can reverse public policy, who knew? Chris watched a very good and sad samurai film Hara-Kiri. Graham really liked The Intouchables despite it's name. Paul talks about his podcast and David Lean. One really stupid DVD film and Paul was not as excited about Total Recall as one might expect. It is a Nerd Revolution so shut up and dance!!
