The Green Show: The Preamble Aug 04, 2007

Show notes

This week we're taking a swing on the hammock, tackling a light summer topic with a discussion on the Matrix trilogy and the amazingly versatile Hulk. The show is split into 2 parts because our pre-topic preamble went on for a good 40 minutes. This part of the show is the preamble, where we talk about the responsibility of corporations to their customers and a titan from the 19th century. Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London

The Green Show: The Topic Aug 04, 2007

Show notes

This is the second part of The Green Show. After our lengthy opening segment, this is where we get into the meat of the topic. First we talk about the Matrix trilogy, a set of movies I think was over-hyped at the time and got undersold as a result. Lando is not as impressed with the films as I am, so it makes for an interesting breakdown of what we though worked and didn't work. After that, it's on to the Hulk, one of the few comic characters we both think is fantastic. We go over what makes the Hulk one of those rare enduring creations that hasn't been ruined over time. Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

30 Seconds To Midnight Jul 24, 2007

Show notes

This week we decided to make Show 52 kind of a 'Season Finale' of sorts. We're not going away, but we've noticed that all of our more serious shows are facets of a larger question we've been chewing at all this time: are we doomed as a species? What are the odds of surviving long-term on this rock? Are we in good shape, or are we pulling planks off the hull to make competing fires on the same boat?

Under The Influence (Part 2) Jul 21, 2007

Show notes

Show 51 is the second part of our show spotlighting the individuals that have had a big hand in our creative development. After a massive trip through the literary world, we're moving into the realm of artists and then beyond with music and even a small venture into a somewhat unusual spot. This show even contains something I never thought possible: a scenario in which The Dark Knight Strikes Again would be readable. Enjoy!

Under The Influence (Part 1) Jul 14, 2007

Show notes

Show 50 ended up being so big we had to split the thing in two! This show finds us looking into the elements that went into our own creative evolution, as we highlight the individuals that contributed in making us what we are. I've also thrown in links to the individuals we covered: Green Lantern Batman William S. Burroughs Tracy Hickman & Margaret Weis Neal Stephenson William Gibson Edgar Rice Burroughs Michio Kaku Alan Moore Frank Miller Neil Gaiman Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

A Hollow Dictionary Jul 07, 2007

Show notes

In the run up to big Show 50, we're taking a look at the words we use every day, and what's happening to them. What is the process that takes certain words and transforms their meanings, or bores them out entirely? Is this a positive and natural occurrence, or is it a byproduct of a society that is losing the worth of words? Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

We're Off For The Weekend Jun 28, 2007

Show notes

Hey all, Just a quick note to let you all know we're taking the weekend off. Life and work piled up this week, so instead of a thrown together show we're taking a week to unwind before we hop back on the train. Enjoy the last weekend of June 2007!

Pathetic Jun 27, 2007

Show notes

It only takes one bad apple to make you forget those who serve selflessly, so keep in mind that a lot of cops are great people who really do just want to protect and serve. That said, I encourage anyone who finds this video as maddening as I do to do exactly what I did today: write this police department and express appreciation for those who do good work, but anger and disappointment in this power tripping moron:

The Little Things Jun 23, 2007

Show notes

This week Lando and I are going over a list of little things that just get on our nerves. No big issues, no world enders, just a simple list that carves out a piece of the annoyance pie we get served every day. Some bites are silly, some are bitter, but it's a good bet you'll agree on at least one of them. If nothing else though, remember this: don't trust little kids and Iron Man.
