The Messianic Complex Edition

This week Deeps subs for Derek who is out looking for a house. Meanwhile, we painted our hallways. Everyone get excited.

We tackle a lot of tough topics like Super Cops, Norma Rae, Serpico, Shaft and later his big score, The Dresden Files, The Riches, Foreign Accent Syndrome, the importance of a sense of place, John Locke's love of blowing stuff up, Vermeer (yes the painter), Rembrandt (yes the painter), architecture, Vanilla Ice (yes the rapper) and This American Life.

Can you believe we covered so much in just 40 minutes? Me either. You might be able to get some college credits for listening to this podcast.

Flaming Arrows, Tweezed Eyebrows, and Jeff Goldblum

This week Derek is back and we cover a few more new mid-season shows including wacky Jeff Goldblum vehicle, Raines; the latest incarnation of Robin Hood on BBC America; the pretentious and overblown October Road; and I make a pitch for saving Veronica Mars – in two parts!

Plus we wax poetic about The Fly, winter weather, and Eddie Izzard’s eyebrows. See, I made a funny!

Aliens, Magic Cats, and Hair Cuts

This week Deeps and I wrangle with some big issues - namely the horrors of mid season replacements. One member of the team refused to watch either The Wedding Bells or The Winner. I thought the vows said for better or worse?

We also review a classic from 1951 called The Man From Planet X; we talk about Peter's slick haircut on Heroes; and we wonder what happened to John Locke on LOST. Deeps says he likes shiny stuff and I say he's suffered a very serious head injury.

Plus we offer another exciting listener shout-out!

On the Road to Shambala!

This week Derek and I recap the Oscars and I offer Marty Scorsese some fashion tips. He's a tiny man!

Then we race through a partial review of some of the books from the Dresden Files series and how they relate as source material for the show. We speculate about what will happen next on Heroes and LOST and try to make sense of the latest mystery on Veronica Mars. Even though I was right about almost everything (see last week's VM podcast), I still don't understand it.

And I take a look at NBC's The Black Donnellys and complain about bad sitcom clip shows. I'm looking at you, Scrubs.
