BRP 60: He's wonderful! He's dreamy

This week Derek, Deeps and I take a tough look at at the devious, deluded mind of Dexter Morgan and offer our predictions on what might happen to him in these final two episodes of the season.

We offer our final assessment of Heroes - possibly ever - for the podcast. Then Derek tells us what happens when you've overstayed your welcome in ER and Grey's Anatomy.Finally, we discuss the tweaking of characters and story on both Dirty Sexy Money and Reaper. Is it enough?

Plus we offer up our thoughts on the first entry of the Big Red Film Festival, The Thin Man - and what it means to be married, drunk, and fabulous in the movies.

BRP 59: I'm not loose like the kids edition

This week Deeps, Derek and I wonder what will happen to Doakes and Dexter - plus I overshare my reaction to Lundy's heiny; I force Derek to face the horror that is Heroes; we determine that Deeps is dead inside because he is still unmoved by this week's fantastic episode of Chuck; enjoy catsuits and girlventures on Pushing Daisies; and Derek tells us what it takes to get fired from Torchwood and hired by House.

Then we offer up our assessment of Dance Dance Revolution The Hottest Party for the Wii.

Plus I announce the second selection for the Big Red Film Festival - Bullitt starring Steve McQueen for episode 61. The festival starts next week with episode 60's entry, The Thin Man starring William Powell and Myrna Loy.

Feel free to watch the movie and send us your thoughts by Sunday, Dec. 9 at 10 AM (Eastern Time) and we'll include them in our discussion on the podcast!

BRP 55: The Nerd is Not on the Inside edition

This week Derek, Deeps and I analyze Halloween, think about what the Writers' Strike might mean for our televisions, and start to digest November Sweeps including finer things on The Office, tiny secrets on Pushing Daisies, and the problem with anger on Dexter.

Plus I offer that we made very interesting observations about Heroes way back in episode 33. Listen to the first 15 minutes of that episode and I'll tell you all of our fears were totally founded.

Then Derek and I fight! I know!

BRP 54: I believe it is called "guestation" edition

Derek returns to join me and Deeps to talk about Podcamp Boston 2, meeting cool people and riding their coattails - plus we remind Derek about stomach viruses.

Then we offer up some tiny information about how the Writers' Strike might affect the TV season; I review the latest entry in the Dexter series by Jeff Lindsay; and we talk about some of our favorite (or not so favorite) shows like How I Met Your Mother, The Office, Chuck, Scrubs, Heroes and of course, Dexter. And I throw out a suggestion for a great Halloween rental - John Frankenheimer's classic film Seconds.

Then I threaten to fire everyone from the show!

Podcamp Boston 2007

This year's Podcamp Boston will be more awesome than last year's - if for no other reason than because Derek and I will be attending.

So if you're going to be there, keep an eye out for a tall fellow and his short, redhaired companion. Also - we'll be wearing t-shirts that say Big Red Podcast on them. Derek loves conventions. I love name badges. See how this works out?

Deeps, aka my husband, life and podcast partner, refuses to attend for reasons that are unknown. Well, they're known to me - sometimes he's a crank. Plus I think he wants to master Wii Golf. He'll be missed.

We're also going to be giving away delightful and probably delicious swag. And in helping to push the agenda of pop culture as actual culture we'll be giving away some books. I have a small collection of novels I read as part of the 50 book challenge. These are some of my favorite novels, and you could get your own new, unread copy. Enjoy!

In addition, I will be at Blogtoberfest 2007 next week at the beautiful Pour House in Boston. You should say hello and then tell me how much you love the Big Red Podcast. I might be persuaded to buy you a drink!

Big Red Bonus: How to fix CBS' Moonlight

Every year television executives throw up some horrific shows for us to watch and every year we have to endure some truly awful stuff. Because we’re smart, awesome and feeling a bit magnanimous we’ve offered up some suggestions for how to fix some shows.

This week we’ve decided to figure out how to fix Moonlight, a show we savaged in episode 50. It’s a bonus episode! Sure, it probably should not be saved, but like I said we’re magnanimous.

And that’s the word of the day! Live it, love it, use it.

Episode 51: Cliffhanger Edition!

Last week we had a little cliffhanger on episode 50 of the Big Red Podcast. This week we resolve it and quickly move on to new stuff like Pushing Daisies and the sustainability of whimsy; most improved second episode; hair and underwear; and of course what shows are on probation.

Plus we talk about a bunch of other shows and try to keep closer to 30 minutes. We did it in 39 - which is good considering how much we talk about. Oh and I make an argument for wacky. And did I mention there's a poll? Go answer it!

Update: Our Dexter Season One extravaganza podcast can be found here.

Episode 50: Supersized Fall TV Review Edition

To help mark the first year of the podcast and the milestone that is Episode 50 - Derek decided to... go visit friends in Jersey?

What the H, Derek?

Whatever. We made due. Deeps and I blazed through almost an entire fall TV season in one hour. New shows and returning favorites are included. Sorry it's so long (over an hour).

That's what she said!

Anyway, we covered shows that aired this week thematically. So, in rough order, we discussed the following shows:

The Soaps
Cane, Dirty Sexy Money, and Big Shots

The Comedies
How I Met Your Mother, Ugly Betty, My Name Is Earl, and The Office

Stuff with the Devil

Reaper

Doctor Shows
Private Practice, House, and Grey's Anatomy

Genre Shows
Moonlight, Heroes, and Torchwood

We're exhausted.

More! More! More! Bonus Episode for the end of summer

We focused on talking about the new Fall TV season, but we're still enjoying the last bits of summer. So we recorded a bonus podcast to cover a lot of the shows that were wrapping up as we slide into fall.

I forget to introduce the fellas until about half way through. You can see how weird cold medicine makes me. On the bright side, I'm feeling much better now.

This week we wax nostalgic about ice cream, fireflies and TV like: Flash Gordon, Painkiller Jane, Doctor Who, Burn Notice, Torchwood, Eureka and Saving Grace.

Plus Derek makes me laugh so hard I cough. Gross!

Episode 47: The Super Brit Edition

This week we end up talking about a lot of stuff from across the pond like Doctor Who and Death At A Funeral. Plus we talk about the big finale for Flight of the Conchords and ponder HBO's next move with Tell Me You Love Me.

Deeps was brave enough to watch the voyeuristic drama. I am less brave. I can't face the possibility of a naked David Selby. As a kid I loved to hate him on Falcon Crest!

Episode 46: Welcome Freshmen!

We're winding down the summer. The surest sign of this fact is the back-to-school onslaught we're experiencing.

Living near some of the finest institutions of higher learning in the country has benefits: awesome used bookstores, cheap eats, famous people drop by to sign books, and a great old movie theater. But the downside is the first month or so when everyone is readjusting to school life or worse, facing it for the first time. I call them Freshmen.

(And this is a sardine can.)

We also talk about the penultimate episode of the first season of Flight of the Conchords. We talk about getting stupid on Eureka, being a big baby on Mad Men, and getting in touch with your inner jerk on Californication. Yes, somebody actually watched a third episode of that show.

We also review The Simpsons Movie. But the real news is that the theater we saw it in smelled a lot like a barn. I flashed back to my younger years working at a horse farm in Indiana. It's not a smell you expect to encounter in the mall.

Thanks to our recording delay we chatted as fast as we could about Laurie Notaro's first novel called "There's A Slight Chance I Might Be Going To Hell", the latest Harry Potter movie, John from Cincinnati, Flight of the Conchords, Doctor Who, Eureka, Ice Road Truckers and Rampage: Total Destruction for the Wii.

We were trying to make up for lost time.

A tiny little delay

My apologies, regular listeners, we're delayed a few days on recording. Usually we record on Sunday but we did a small kitchen renovation and that has resulted in lots of chaos around the house.

Looks like everything is okay now. More or less. And I have new counters to lovingly buff into a beautiful shine. And I think we're on schedule to record tonight without incident, but sadly without Derek. Then we're back on Sunday - as usual.

So check back late tonight, you should find a new podcast. Unless some pipes break or something. Then all bets are off.

Plus we discuss the return of Doctor Who and we admire a certain new companion - she's feisty and fun. And I review a video game - Wario Ware Smooth Moves for the Wii. I can hardly believe it myself.

Then we attempt to start talking about the 800 new shows debuting in the fall. We've watched clips and previews, but still haven't seen any full pilots. That doesn't deter us from making our list of stuff that may intrigue or offend. And then someone gets started about scientists.

Episode 28: Like, Like, Like edition

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.

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).
