Due to some resent electrical storms and other bits of technology loveliness, we will not be able to record or post new shows for the next few weeks.  We will then post with our usual amount of zombie chasing fish-power nonsense. 

On this weeks docket:

-ObamaBarrage!

-Palindrone

-They Must Have Made a Better Mousetrap...

-Something Vaguely Random

We start by talking about Obama's acceptance speech, even though none of us actually had a chance to see it, then Sanguinist gives us the highlight reel from the week-long Democratic National Convention. We also wonder just why MSNBC chose to do their coverage from an open-air balcony, making it virtually unwatchable. Then the Juggernaut makes an unscheduled appearance, which throws us off topic for a bit, an then we discuss the implausibility of 9/11 being an inside job an how transparency in government seems to not matter so much. Sanguinist then wonders if Obama's post-convention bump in the polls has anything to do with having an old, white guy as veep.

Sanguinist then tells us a heartwarming tale of a 527 ad that managed to somehow get sued by * everybody * involved. Truly, there is some justice in the world. Go, Team Venture.

We then discuss the pro-life, pro-drilling, pro-abstinence education only, under investigation crazy lay for veep (and Peter North makes his appearance quickly.) We also discuss the conspiracy theories behind McCain's choice before digressing onto Largo's preference for crazy ladies and Emperor Palpatine speaking to both his Realtor and his exterminator, the Boy answering the phone at Pizza Hut as Kermit the Frog, and the Emo Relocation Program. Largo puts a stop to the madness before it can talk about Wonder Twincest yet again.

The Boy then talks about creating Super Mice. Sanguinist expresses a desire to shift the range of his vision to have better night vision and to return some plasticity to his brain. We now wait for the inevitable backlash from the religious right. We then shift over onto technology applicable to both power armor and helping the disabled to walk. Sanguinist and the Boy explore tons of applications for the technology that aren't military.

We then officially switch over into Something Vaguely Random, beginning by talking about a rare instance where Sanguinist officially condones an act of vandalism. Why so serious, indeed. This leads into the Boy and Sanguinist's plan to take care of all those babies that would be born if Roe v Wade gets overturned (before moving on to capital punishment and vegetarianism.) We close out by discussing a fan-made poster using David Tennant as The Riddler and the possibilities therein (we also talk about how we can make Antonio Banderas into Bane.) We close out with Sanguinist giving his take on what he'd like to see for the next Batman movie.

On this weeks docket:

-Retractions

-Mr. McCain, Why Do You Hate D&D

-Biden His Time

-Die, Superman, Die!

We start by correcting the misreporting that Punisher: War Zone was being re-cut to be PG-13, then we clarify that, surprisingly, the bigfoot in a freezer was a scam. Largo then slides over onto the topic of spam, then Sanguinist expresses a desire to see the Mythbusters take on the 9/11 conspiracy theories. We close out this topic by discussing how technology hates us and how the Borg have the best health care system in the galaxy.

Largo then shifts us over to the fact that D&D has apparently become a watchword over on the McCain website, and not in a good way. We speculate that it's just another case of McCain's “Get out of my azaleas” syndrome, given that the big hullabaloo about D&D was over twenty years ago. Sanguinist also points out that a sub-type of gamer, the rules lawyer, is actually a republican, then moves the discussion over to McCain's latest campaign foibles.

We smoothly move over then to Obama's Veep pick, Joe Biden. Largo likes him, and the others mock Largo incessantly for it. We follow up by speculating about McCain's Veep pick, then realize that we didn't get nearly the mileage out of this topic as we thought we would (but not before digressing over to Suicide Girl names, misusing the Sword of Omens, wondering just why the hell Mumm Ra ever had to stay in his wrinkled-up old man form, questioning if anyone even remembers Tigersharks, exploring Mario as a porn star, and firing a giant dildo out of the Death Star's main gun.)

Sanguinist launches into a side rant into the newly formed Zombie Rights movement, taking a stand against the internet's exploitation of them. Then Largo gives a (very) brief review of Death Race and The Boy pitches the idea of remaking and updating The Running Man.

Largo gets the show back onto its scheduled topics by talking about Warner Brothers's plans to do all future DC movies as “dark and realistic as the character allows,” making us wonder just how that applies to a guy who can fly, bounce bullets off of his chest, and shoot frickin' laser beams out of his eyes (but not before speculating on just why Titanic was so popular.) We also digress over onto the fiasco that Tim Burton's Superman film almost was, the fiascoes that almost were Justice League and Batman vs. Superman, Jason Statham as Daredevil, and Kevin Smith's failure to shoot Ben Affleck in the leg to prevent him from making Gili.

We close out by discussing The Boy's plan to kill Superman. Listen to discover just what it is (Lex Luthor, take notes.) And if either Mark Waid or Geoff Johns happens to be listening, we want to know what you think. We then give a little history of the various Crises in the DCU and how they've redefined the universe, then Sanguinist goes into just how much he likes the concept of multi-colored Krytonite, leading us to close with Superman with a case of the munchies.
