Podcast 132: Studio City | It was quite refreshing to see Alison Janey and Timothy Bussfield back together again. Those two have great screen chemistry together. Someone should put a list together of all the West Wing people that crossed over to S60 in its one season.

Podcast 128: Can we have this conversation moving? | We start in on the all too short Sorkin tv offering: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. I know I am excited about this because Aaron Sorkin has a great way of bringing up interesting topics and writing them in a way that is both interesting and insightful. And if you look at the topic list below I think that bears out. It is a shame that this only was allowed to go one season. We cover episodes 1-4 of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Joey's Culture Corner: Network Facebook Find of the Week: Listener Si - Scariest Scene In Film History EVER!!

Podcast Dueling Book Reviews pt2 | Part 2 of our Dueling Book Reviews podcast. Mainly because the whole thing took almost 3 hours to record and because Joey and I wanted to be lazy one week and not have to edit anything. Still good stuff though.

Podcast Movie Special: Sabrina | We cover both the 1954 and 1995 versions of the movie Sabrina. Regardless of which movie you watch you are safe doing so in front of the entire family.

Podcast Dueoling Book Reviews pt1 | This was a new stab at podcasting for us. Instead of being about a television show we decided to review books this week. I think it turned out well. So well in fact that we went on for almost 3 hours. So we have cut this podcast up in to 2 parts. The second will be posted some time in the future when Joey and I need a break. Our dear friend Curtis (the Mad Giggler) also joined us. We have been trying unsuccessfully for the last 3 years to get him and we were not disappointed by his participation.

Podcast 127: Babylon 5 Series Wrap Up | Well, we did it folks. We set out with a mission to approach Star Trek (TNG), The West Wing, and Babylon 5 from an analytical approach. While we prepare to - as Pete likes to say - "cleanse our palates" with a Poetry podcast, please enjoy our wrap up of Babylon 5 as a series, as well as a brief discussion about the three "original shows" of TrekWest5. At the end of the series wrap up, you'll find a discussion Pete and I had back at podcast 108 (Season 2 wrap up). The conversation was great, but it ranged so far afield from the topic of Season 2 wrap up that we decided to hold it in reserve until this podcast. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Joey's Culture Corner: The Belgariad by David Eddings Facebook Find of the Week: Listener Carbonite Man - Babylon 5: In Memory of Andreas Katsulas The ????? bell lives on Wrap up of The Next Generation, West Wing, and Babylon 5 Objects of Fandom Music by Shayna Zaid Direct MP3 Download RSS Feed Subscribe Using iTunes Here are the Series lists/recaps: Babylon 5 Series wrap up: 2hr 54min 37sec Series recaps and lists Favorite Extra/Bit Part Peter: Centari RegentThe InterrogatorBro.

Customer Reviews
brillianter than you might think
these guys not only get really nerdy, but despite that, they're able to be really funny too. throw a lot of opinion and philosphy on top of that and it's not just a couple of geeks gushing. it's a stimulating debate -- even if it is "just about tv."
TV Recap Show for New & Old Fans
A perfect balance of heart and criticism as two friends joyfully review some of the greatest TV shows of all time. Great humor and love for their fans as they go out if their way to make a great experience for all. Be sure to listen to the Babylon 5 section, it is their greatest podcasts. "ding!"
democratic podcasting
This is one of the few scifi related podcasts that actually encourage listener contributions, these dudes will not only respectfully read your emails on the air, but they will also carefully craft your own personalized handle. so eschew this podcast if you are not into exploration and cultivation of meaning as illuminated through both the nitty-gritty and the sweeping overtone details that shine through a wide range of genre and/or socio polital television programing.
