Cinema Diabolica, Brother D from
Mail Order Zombie and Aaron from
Paperbag Radio!
And a reminder that next week is Troll 2 vs. Manos the Hands of Fate for a decision - what movie is worse?

This week Derek, Deeps and I chat about pancake recipes and Fear Itself; we determine if The Venture Brothers can ever be too nerdy; we get our first real episode of In Plain Sight; and we get a little behind-the-scenes info about Doctor Who from
Aaron at Paperbag Radio!
Then we review two new shows -
The Middleman and
Secret Diary of a Call Girl. One is quirky fun with charm to spare. The other... has Billie Piper.
And we get very deep when discussing the 1975 Gene Hackman thriller
Night Moves. And we announce a special Big Red Film Festival event - Troll 2 vs. Manos the Hands of Fate.

We're back after our two-week (or one show) break. Deeps, Derek and I are fired up to talk about
Fear Itself,
Swingtown,
Charlie Jade and
In Plain Sight.
Then I get reminiscent about Chicago when talking about
My Boys. And finally we tackle favorites Doctor Who and the sublime Venture Brothers. Plus we announce the next installment in the Big Red Film Festival -
Night Moves and apologize to listener
Jacki for running too long!

This week we briefly outline some problems commuting around Boston this week and then talk about three hours of LOST, Spelling Bee coverage, and the return of The Venture Brothers.
Just a reminder, we're taking June 8 off so we'll be back with episode 84 on June 15.

Derek joins the rest of us in our early, middle thirties (despite my assertions that he's just turned 21 and that I regularly gave him bathtub gin) and to mark the occasion we complain about a weak end to a rough television season. We assess how the strike affected finales for Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, Reaper, House, and Bones.
Then Deeps and I chat - well, I go on a small tirade - about a little film called Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

It's that special time of the year - season finales! And we're ready to take apart finales for The Office and Supernatural. Then we roll into regular favorites like LOST, How I Met Your Mother and Reaper; the latter two are recent renewals for the fall.
While we're talking about fall we look at some up fronts and wonder if we can do an adequate preview in the future.
Then we field a phone call from Bill at
Outside The Cinema. You could call us and be cool too: 206-202-0197.

For reasons that remain mysterious to us, people like it when we talk about Torchwood. In fact, people like it so much that someone requested we compile all of our Season 2 Torchwood coverage into a single podcast.
Done and done.

This week our cups runneth over with good comedy and interesting drama - Derek, Deeps and I tackle Moonlight (okay, that's Derek), Doctor Who, Supernatural, LOST, How I Met Your Mother, The Office, and 30 Rock.
Then I share a story about making poor food choices when meeting new people (I ordered garlic fries, but the fellas from
Cinema Diabolica didn't hold it against me) and talk about how I accidentally watched Criminal Minds.

This week we recorded the Big Red Podcast twice! Yeah, that first take got eaten due to a technical snafu. After a few weeks off we got around to talking about My Name is Earl, 30 Rock, The Office, Scrubs, HIMYM, Torchwood, the return of
Wire in the Blood and Doctor Who spin-off
The Sarah Jane Adventures.
And we get excited about our forums at
www.popsyndicate.com/forums and share our new comment line number: 206-202-0197.

After some very polite pestering, I decided to give forums a chance. So you can now find a
forum for Big Red Podcast over at
PopSyndicate.com, a great source for pop culture news and reviews.
Now you may be a lurker - which is good - but I'd be sad if nobody showed up to our party. So please feel free to visit the
new forum, you can register pretty easily to be a member and share your thoughts with us in yet another way.
One of these days I might even get us a phone number. Let's not rush things. We're dealing with enough change - new equipment, a forum, and wait until the guys find out I'm making them whole wheat pancakes. Chaos!

This week Derek, Deeps and I are joined by our friends Chris and Jen to reconsider the previous three and a half seasons of LOST. They are recent converts to the show having crammed in the show on DVD in about a month.
Plus we still find time to talk about our old friends Torchwood, How I Met Your Mother, and Reaper. And Deeps offers up his loud assessment of the latest New Amsterdam. I'm married to him and I don't understand how he is still watching that show.
We're on a little hiatus next week but we return with fresh shows and material on April 13. In the meantime, you can check out two new polls I have up.
One is about whether or not Big Red Podcast needs a
forum for fans to chat with us about the podcast and the stuff we cover.
The other poll is about whether or not we should
reconsider shows we've previously written off.Since you're voting anyway, why not throw us a bone over at Podcast Alley

Miss Guided and the return of former favorites like Reaper, HIMYM, Torchwood and LOST. Plus Derek tells us something about New Amsterdam. I laughed a lot, so I didn't hear everything he said.

This week Derek is out "on assignment" so Deeps and I valiantly brave the podcast alone. I should note that instead of eating our usual brunch before recording we ate Indian food. You can decide if that makes a difference.
We talk about two new shows called
The Return of Jezebel James and
Canterbury's Law; then we take on the return of Reaper, LOST, Torchwood, Breaking Bad and The Wire.
Since it is early in the month, I beg for votes on
Podcast Alley. FYI - our recording schedule will be slightly different next week. The show will probably go up on Monday night.

Unhitched and
New Amsterdam.
Then we unravel the latest episodes of LOST and Torchwood and Derek explores the finale of Sarah Connor Chronicles. You may hear gentle snoring during this part. Do not adjust your audio.

This week is a real humdinger. Derek, Deeps and I discuss the Pterodactyl theory on
Torchwood, how happy hour can make
LOST a little tougher to follow, how car porn isn't enough to carry a show with a wooden lead in
Knight Rider, bad science on
Sarah Connor Chronicles and finally how to do genre better with
Supernatural.
Plus Derek stuns the group by reading a book(!) called A
nasi Boys by Neil Gaiman and we review
Be Kind, Rewind. Then we totally ignore the Oscars. Weird, huh?

This week Deeps and I tackle the toughest question of our marriage - Are you writing Reba fan fiction? Luckily, Derek is around to help us figure out if our heretofore wedded bliss can survive it. Before we have to call Doctor Phil, we are address the latest developments in the WGA strike.
We talk about three new series including the differences between
Cashmere Mafia and
Lipstick Jungle. That third series is called
Welcome to the Captain and the most important fact you should know is that
Raquel Welch is 68! For reals.
Then we discuss House, LOST, the Korean film The Host and my deep affection for
LEGO Star Wars for the Wii. And I announce the next selection in the Big Red Film Festival:
In A Lonely Place.

Torchwood. We kick Derek out of the podcast - temporarily - to get very spoilery about the series finale of Life on Mars. And then we discuss our fifth entry in the Big Red Film Fest, the 1942 Val Lewton production of
Cat People.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Fox (check out the creepy Web site) and
Breaking Bad on AMC. Plus we offer a few thoughts on
Cloverfield and then dive into the latest entry in the Big Red Film Festival,
Chinatown.
Our fifth entry in the Big Red Film Festival - for next week's podcast - is going to be the 1942

I share my quiet rage about the return of A Daily Show and the Colbert Report (those are hard Ts people), then we talk at length about the grim storytelling of Medium and we explore existential horrors in
Cemetery Man.
Plus we talk about
American Gladiators and
Cashmere Mafia because Derek isn't afraid to watch bad stuff. Oh and I threaten to end the podcast if forced to watch a ratings juggernaut.

This week we mark the triumphant return of the
Big Red Podcast from a two-week holiday hiatus.
First we discuss the very kind
Jon Armstrong and his very cool interview (he is cool - I am not) with me to discuss why I podcast on
If You're Just Joining Us.
Then we give a shout-out to our friends at
Cinema Diabolica (a show for adults only) - check out
Episode 3 where they talk about the film we're covering for our third installment in the Big Red Film festival:
Cemetary Man. (FYI - week four's installment will be the classic film
Chinatown starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway.)
And finally, we talk about stuff we've seen, played and read including Derek's pick for game of the year, the scariest movie I saw in 2007 (
No Country For Old Men) and the darling of best of movie lists,
Juno. Plus Deeps tells you to watch
The Wire, if you can handle it.
