Chuck — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 01:31:20 +0000

It’s Monday, so it must be time for BSG 4.5 ’sode #8.

Chuck — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 23:45:54 +0000

Technically we’re discussing BSG 4.5 ’sode #7 in this bonus ‘cast, but since the ’sode is only about 40 seconds long we digress quite a bit. Highlights: we decide once and for all that BYBBQ8 is indeed a creepster, note that today’s “reveal” was about as exciting as Quizno’s, are regaled with Sean’s Fable 2 stories (including the “dog market” and sheepskin condoms), and generally enjoy our last podcast of 2008.

Chuck — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 21:03:17 +0000

Highlights: we debate the creepiness vs. evilness of Backyard BBQ 8, wonder if Gaeta hasn’t been as celibate as we thought earlier in BSG, discuss the nature of free will as applied to 8s that only seem stable when in a relationship, and speculate on various possible ’sode endings.

Chuck — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 17:43:59 +0000

If this is your first time listening to GWC, you might want to jump back and start with #136 (if you’re a BSGer looking for webisode discussion) or #134 (for the last ‘cast of our X-Men arc). Why? This is our annual holiday podcast where we kick back and shoot the bull with no topic in mind. Originally recorded live on December 26, 2008, we’re joined by numerous GWC listeners for a good ‘ole fashioned bull-fest.

Don’t forget to call in with your prediction of who’ll die next in Clue format (ex: “Easy in the pilot’s seat with the morpha”) at 214.296.9229. We’ll include our favorites in Wednesday’s bonus ‘cast.

This week we dive into the first X-Men movie.

GWC Podcast #127

Chuck — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 17:15:54 +0000
