Grailwolf's Geek Life Marc Bailey

This past weekend we got fantasy author Paulette Jaxton to sit down with us as we talked about the Dreamworks animated film How To Train Your Dragon, which just came out on DVD and Blu Ray. This was an experiment with using the H2 to record away from the computer and, honestly, the results are mixed. A bit too much echo and I didn't have the same kind of control that I usually have over the sound floor. So, I left this one a bit rough and edgy from a technical standpoint, but we had a fun conversation. 

As usual, there are very few spoilers in the beginning and we warn you before we get spoilery, so you can listen even if you haven't seen the movie. Enjoy!

Hurdy gur,

Marc

In this episode Heather joins me to discuss the 2010 remake of The Wolfman, and the Grailpup makes his first podcasting appearance.

We're back! New episodes will begin soon. In this little test episode I just explain what's going on and set the stage for what's coming. Hope you'll join me!

Hurdy gur,

Very lazy shownotes.
Paul and Martha of the ADD Cast (and the Balticon Podcast, and all of Dancing Cat Studios other projects) hang out with Heather and I at the Grailcave to discuss parenthood, beer, and other geeky goodness. Enjoy the podcast premiere of Darth BonBon, and we'll get back to the regular episodes very, very soon.

At last, it's the Incredible Hulk geekout!
This is the same discussion that has already been run on the ADD Cast a few months ago, so if you have heard that episode, you do not need to download this episode (unless you want to hear our 15 minute intro).

We start out talking about the movie (and the DVD) in totally non-spoiler mode. Then there are minor spoilers as we discuss the deleted scenes. Finally, we completely spoil the alternate opening and talk about what is hidden in the ice...

The bulk of the episode is a discussion of the film recorded just after seeing it on opening day. Heather and I are joined by Paul Fischer, Martha Holloway, Thomas "Command Line" Gideon , Andrea, John Cmar, Sci-Fi Laura, Greg Wright, and the Command Line Canines. Many thanks to Thomas for opening Bit Bucket Labs to us, and letting us use his equipment (and drink his beer).

Hope you enjoy the discussion. And if you want to pick up the DVD, check out the Grailwolf's Geek Store by going to grailwolf.com and clicking on the link at the left. Then click "New On DVD" and the date October 21st, 2008. All three versions of the DVD are listed at the top of that page.

Let us know what you think of the movie, and the DVD.

We're still sick (again) but we're not going to let that stop us from
telling you about the rest of the Fall shows that we're watching.

Well... actually we will, because we forgot to talk about Life On Mars, but we give it the ol' college try.

Anyway Heather and I share our opinions about these shows:

Then we give a brief Grailpup update and discuss tomorrow's episode and the release of The Incredible Hulk on DVD.
