FBSD Hiatus

Hey folks.  I meant to do get this message out to you much, much earlier, but things got out of hand pretty quickly.

The title says it all.

This podcast (I’m posting this to both TLI and FBSD) is on hiatus.

As you may, or may not, know my wife is pregnant with our second child.

This pregnancy hasn’t been as easy as the first.  Not that it’s been horrible or anything, but it’s had its moments.

Julie has been placed on bedrest and is currently in the hospital.  She’ll be there until the baby is born.

The baby will likely be induced on or near November 4th.  This is five weeks early.  There are complications that could arise from an early delivery, but there are complications that could arise from Julie carrying the baby too long.

Let me stress… Julie’s fine, the baby is fine… so far.  That could change and we are currently on standby mode.

I’d have recorded something and posted it, but time… being what it is… has left me a bit short-handed.  I’m single parenting, working full-time and spending as much time as I can trying to keep my wife sane while she is stuck in the hospital.  Something had to give and logically, it was the podcasting.

Now, don’t fret… I’ll be back.  I just need a few weeks to get this baby delivered and get her home… which might not happen for a few weeks after she makes her grand entrance.

Thank you all for understanding.
More movie reviews and weightloss to follow very soon.

FBSD Episode 44: On The Lot 112

Wow… America got that one all wrong. Zach was eliminated this week. I am totally shocked.
This has opened the competition though, and it should be interesting to see how it plays out.
The log line, chosen by a viewer, that is the theme of this week’s films is: “A man wakes up, finds himself in a dress and can’t remember what happened the night before.”

Adam Stein – Army Guy
Jason Epperson – Oh, Boy.
Sam Friedlander – Dress For Success
Will Bigham- The Yes Men

This week the theme is Road movies.   For this week, each director had to feature a car in his film.

The highest number of votes went to Jason.  For his reward, he acquired the services of Jerry O’Connell.

Adam Stein – Driving Under The Influence
Jason Epperson – The Move
Sam Friedlander – Backseat Driving Test
Will Bigham – Road Rage 101

    FBSD Episode SE04: Really Big Things and Smallville

    In this episode, special guest Paul Maki joins me to chat about his serial fiction podcast Really Big Things.

    The audio is a bit dicey and this was the first time I recorded via Skype.  It’s not horrible, but there are a few noticeable  points where Skype cut out.  I left them as they were, as it would have been a royal pain to do even more editing for only a second or two of inconvenience.

    More detailed notes to follow.

    FBSD Episode 037: STAR WARS and Shaft

    You read that title right.

    Lazy show notes for now. (Will get this updated later this morning (or afternoon) (or weekend).

    Be sure to listen for Stealth Contest information.

    And this will make sense if you listen all the way to the end, we decided on Apocalypto.
