Big Red Blog’s Donors Choose campaign, Derek, and we offer up some listener shout-outs. Plus we talk about disappointing fights on Heroes, The Riches, the cancellation of Drive, LOST and sneaky ladies, a second look at Ugly Betty, and a documentary called
The King of Kong.
Plus I reveal my hatred for My Name is Earl and my horrifying past with decoupage.

Right - so we went to visit Deeps' parents this weekend to help them clean out their house. After 30 years, they're planning on selling and retiring.
They have 30 years of stuff. We did huge amounts of yard work and cleaning - I cut down half a pine tree. Deeps and I hauled about 400 tons of old junk out of their basement and then spread 60 cubic yards of mulch without a rake.
You should understand that after doing this, sleeping poorly and then driving five hours from Jersey back to Boston we still did a podcast.
Because we love you, podcast listeners. This one is a little more ... well, I say like a lot when I'm tired. I'm really, really sorry.
This week we talk about
Drive on Fox, The Sopranos, Supernatural (I even talk about the thematic similarities between their latest episodes), LOST, The Shield,
Acceptable TV, This American Life on TV, why TV is awesome, and we do a review of
Casino Royale and
Fountains of Wayne's latest offering
Traffic and Weather.
Whew!

This week Derek returns to join me and Deeps to chat about the return of The Sopranos. We take a look at the first season of Sci Fi's The Dresden Files and review the pilot of Sci Fi's new show Pain Killer Jane. We also hit Big Red Podcast favorites like LOST, 30 Rock, The Office, and House.
Deeps makes another case for watching Friday Night Lights (he lurves it!). Derek watches the vampire show we talked about last week, he's captivated by it. So we learn something today - Lifetime isn't just for women. It is also for Derek.

This week Deeps and I (along with the cat) chat about a lot of television including resolving dramatic problems The Office, dirty cops on The Shield, women in chains on LOST, hairdos on House, Thomas Jefferson on 30 Rock and of course the problem with vampires (in Canada or anywhere else).
And we split out our discussion of movies into a bonus episode where we cover
Green for Danger,
Dead and Buried,
Spellcaster,
Days of Being Wild and some tangents about Uwe Boll – because I’m crazy like that (oh and the great piece I reference is found here at
Something Awful).

This week Deeps and I discuss the wonders of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in
Hot Fuzz (remember Shaun of the Dead?), celebrity Q&As, waiting in really long lines, Hey it's that guy - British edition, noir on a desert island, and
Zach Galifianakis's new DVD.
Derek is off doing exciting stuff like selling kidneys on the black market or buying a house or something. He'll be back soon. He is powerless in the face of my cheese potato casserole. Brunch is awesome.
