Podcast: Episode 30

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet et et et et. I did my own little echo there, did you notice? That was in honour of one of the games we talked about on this week’s podcast. Kris decided it needed reverb but I think we just settled for saying it in a half-hearted ‘boomy’ voice in the end.

Among other things we discussed was a movie about time and crime called Timecrimes. Lewis has reviewed that over on ScreenDemon, if you fancy a bit more info. (Note: As tuffcub points out in the comments, I’ve had a mental glitch about this. We actually discussed Timecrimes on last week’s podcast. It’s like I travelled back in time.)

Kris then decided to baffle me entirely by talking about a comic that featured dogfights, in aeroplanes, which travelled through time. I think it was called The Red Wing but I can’t be 100 percent sure because, frankly, I’m still a little confused by it all.

We had the usual competition (entries to lewisgaston[at]screendemon.com) and a special quiz that I took charge of for this week, as a kind of punishment for Lewis. I was thwarted by how successful both he and Kris were though.

It’s been ages since we had a guest, hasn’t it? You’d think Kris hated everyone.

This podcast features strong language, jokes in poor taste and adult themes, if you’re offended by that then we recommend that you don’t listen to it at all.

  1. Didnt you discuss Timecrimes last week?

    • Yes, but I got confused. Oops. This week we talked about the superhero photos that emerged from superhero movies.
      Still, Timecrimes, eh?

      • It’s fine, when i listen to the podcast I spend most of my time shouting “Wrong! Inorrect! WRONG!”

  2. I shall listen to it tonight before i turn in for the night whilst reading Harry Potter and drinking some tesco Coke.(haven’t got the real thing but it tastes just as good as it). How many times was i mentioned/scaring the listeners/insertpornhere/blairisamonkey/

    You could have asked me if you wanted a guest? I have a way of kid…presuading people to do what i want them to do.:p

  3. Thought I’d just post here because CB says he always likes to see listener’s comments here.
    Not listened to the episode yet, but thought you’d like to know that the Oscar Mike Media podcast sits proudly in my “Favourites” playlist on Podcaster on my phone, alongside Talk Radar UK, Is it the future yet?, PSM3, Giant Bombcast, Kermode & Mayo’s film reviews and Tested.com’s “This is only a test”.
    no idea why anyone would be interested in that list, but hey, the TsACast is the one I listen to first out of that lot.

    • How do you have time to listen to all of that? I enjoyed Bombcast but TSA takes precedence so I only really listen to it.

      • Any time we’re on a list with the Bombcast is a moment of pride :)

        I love hearing that people enjoy the podcast, it’s easy to forget that anyone actually listens at all because it feels like it’s just us three idiots talking rubbish.

        Thanks for the very kind words :)

      • i used to like giant bomb but for the last half a year or so I’ve just found it and the writers a bit irritating… TSA in my opinion is much better. Although it was the podcast that really got me coming to the site in the first place.

      • I listend to Bombcast for the first time this week – they did not discuss omlette making techniques. Useless.

      • Murdo, I listen to podcasts going to and from work, while walking the dog, and while going to sleep at night so that’s at least 1.5 hours a day. Soon mounts up!

  4. Just finished listening to this weeks podcast, hilarious as per usual … was almost in tears at the part about the t-rex. Still have all 30 episodes (plus the 3 E3 specials on my PS3 … a staggering 52 hours 37 minutes 50 seconds of craziness).
    As for quality superhero games … spiderman 2 was so much fun, mainly because of the freedom of web-swinging about the city.
    Also, totally agree with you Peter, Samo Hung is amazing, I think the first thing I ever saw him in was Chinese Ghost Stories.

    • Project A is amazing too. Chan steals the limelight but Hung steals the show (Yuen Biao is in that one too so it’s 3 of the best).

      • I think the three of them were awesome in Meals on Wheels.

  5. i want to talk about superman’s pants for a bit.
    not in that way. o_O

    anyway, you talked about his indestructible trousers, well there is a reason why his clothes don’t get damaged, often.
    he has this invincibility aura that extends out from his body just far enough to protect his costume as well as his body.
    you can’t outgeek me. \(^_^)/

    also, i got six in the quiz.
    though i’d say i should get half a point because i thought the question about the link between indy and chewie had something to do with pets.
    i knew indy was named after a dog, according to the last crusade, and chewie was almost like han’s pet.
    a quarter of a point? ^_^

    oh, can i get a point for explaining what the kessel run is?
    and why it being done in a measurement of distance and not time means the falcon is a fast ship?

    i was getting y the last man on the comic store, but now they’ve closed the store, well not closed it but they’ve stopped updating it, and we still don’t know when or where the comic store will be returning so we may never see the remaining issues.
    thanks for the spoilers though. :(

    still, by the time i get round to, and can afford to, finish reading the series, i’ll probably have forgotten.

    there were a few spoilers this week.

    oh and kessler was the bad guy in the first infamous.
    that might be where you know the name from kris.

    • oh yeah, i meant to ask, what’s the article picture on the front page?
      is it from that time dogfight comic Kris was talking about?

    • Aww, we try to avoid spoilers or tell people to skip ahead a bit (and Y: The Last Man has been finished for some time) but I’m sorry if we weren’t careful enough.

  6. Regarding Supermans new jeans and boots combos. Old superman – meh. New Lumberjack Superman – Woof woof!

  7. Mwuhaha i made you think of fucking Matt Damon! goal achevied. Thanks for the suggestions. i’ll be sure to check them out
