FBSD Episode 30: Oscars, Marty and Primer

We’re back and we’ve got something slightly different from our usual show.   Today we discuss some of the things going on since we last spoke, including SciFi Smackdown, a dead laptop, a birthday, and a movie marathon.

We then break out some individually recorded segments to discuss Martin Scorsese and the Oscars.

We finish the show by discussing Primer at the the suggestion of a number of our listeners based on the discussion in Episode 23.

FBSD Episode 29: Riding with the Ghost Rider

Johnny Blaze is the Spirit of Vengence.

We have a guest host today as we discuss the new film Ghost Rider.

Another Pubcast, this one seemed to have a better sound than some of our previous ventures.

We also chat about some of other comic book based movies that Marvel has coming out in the next year or so.

Somehow we also pull the conversation back from ending the show to a discussion about this weekend’s Oscars.

Don’t forget to check back here this weekend for my pick for the Best Picture Oscar after I spend all day Saturday watching the five nominated films… all five… one day… bucket after bucket of popcorn and soda.

We also make the announcement official and discuss the changes that are going to be coming to the podcast and the feed.

Join in on the conversation!

FBSD Episode 26: Are you ready for some football?

The Super Bowl is this weekend and we take the opportunity to discuss Football movies.

I woefully neglected Wildcats, but otherwise I think we hit on most of the stereotypical football/sport films that we’ve seen.

We talk about Scott Sigler’s ‘The Rookie’.

Promo: The Ranting Scotsman Podcast
Promo: Billibub Baddings and The Case of The Singing Sword

Stu checks in with a voice mail and we get into a longish discussion about Sci-Fi on television before pimping the action on the comments section of the site.

We talk up Pickle Tales, which is about to enter its final round. Good luck, Laurence and Phil!

FBSD Episode 25: To Pimp a Dwarf

Yes… You read the length correctly.

This is another first for us here. We’ve got a special guest from half a continent away. The man, the myth, the pimp… Tee Morris.

Tee joins me for a chat about his new podiobook, “Billibub Baddings and The Case of The Singing Sword”.

From there we talk about “24” and Tee’s Evo Terra-esque “Wash Dies!” moment during the four hour finale. (Note to Tee: Beware the chicken scissors.) We talk about podiobooks, Van Helsing, Metropolis, 24, Daredevil, The Hulk, Pirates, The Davinci Code, and kids on podcasts.

You can find everything Tee at www.teemorris.com. You can subscribe to Billibub at www.teemorris.com/billipodcast/

FBSD Episode SE2: Billibub Baddings Chapter 1

This is something a bit different for the Smackdown.

Friend of the Fanboy Smackdown, premier podiobook author, and all around pimp, Tee Morris is just about to release his next podcast audiobook (podiobook) ‘Billibub Baddings and The Case of The Singing Sword’.

He has given us permission to release this first chapter to you guys. This is a full month before the official release of the podcast on February 14th, 2007. I’ve given this a listen and can say that I’m excited to hear the rest of what Tee has in store for the dwarf detective.

Yeah, you read that right. This is a book that erases the lines of genre and sets up some fun characters to tell, what looks to be, a fun story. Not only is the story shaping up nicely, but Tee has enlisted a Who’s Who list of podcasting talent to round out the cast… though oddly I didn’t notice anyone named Tony in that list… He has also hooked up with some incredible musicians. This podcast novel is shaping up to be an audio feast.

Take a listen, let us know what you think here and let Tee know what you think as well. And if you happen to think of it, let him know where you heard about Billi. If we get some good response, maybe we can even get Tee to come on and chat about some movies and the book for us on the show!

More from us soon, we are just finishing our holiday break and recovering from over indulging in all of the joyous festivities and spirits of the season.

For more information on Tee Morris check out his website: www.teemorris.com. Also, check out Baddings Investigations, Inc. – The official blog of the book: www.teemorris.com/billipodcast/

FBSD Episode 23: Science Fiction and Time Travel in Films

(Sorry for the late show, new technical set-up and a sick kid caused a weekend-long delay)

Hello….. Genie here.

Tony and Tony get into some long rambling conversation about Science Fiction movies and end up talking about Time Travel. I don’t see what the big deal is, a snap of the fingers and I can travel to any point in time. I don’t get why they have to spend a whole show talking about it, but what do I know, I’m just an all-powerful Genie… I’m gonna head to the future a couple of weeks to get to the new episodes of Smallville.
