Conditional Santa Captive: Delivered Partial Podcast

We apologize for the delay, but unexpected events occurred. In the last days of the Bush Presidency, or given its importance it should be a lower case "presidency," our regular guest Conditional Santa was captured. See document at left.

However, we believe that he scattered pieces of the Cartoon Geeks podcast that was planned for December of this year. We have recovered part one of the podcast and are actively searching for the other parts. Apparently Tom and Michelle recorded this part, with Martin unavailable at this time. We believe Martin may appear in the later pieces. Here are the topics under discussion:

Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated film, and how Lucas really needs not to be so involved with his own films.

The South Park Indiana Jones incident. Did it "hate Hollywood" the same way that legitimate protest of the War in Iraq "hates America"?

Michelle's upset with The Dark Knight. Perhaps it belongs more to the Bush approach to dissent than anything else.

A sample of Tom's appearance in the Pendant Audio series Catwoman: The Queen of Thieves.

Cutback at NBC's Heroes: is the series in trouble?

The Iron Man deluxe DVD set.

Seta Sings the Blues and how it is improperly being ignored by Hollywood.

New feature: Michelle's technology review, and how the Macintosh is ending the FireWire interface in many of its lines; betraying the interface standard that Apple popularized.

Tom's talk about Dragon*Con, the commercial firm that took precedence over fan material, and the controversy that erupted in this blog over it.

Holy cow we will have two awesome podcasts coming!!!

We talked. And we talked. And we talked. We now have enough material for a double-wide podcast. So we'll be doing this as a two part deal. Batman, Wall-E, Kung Fu Panda, and a beautiful Stranger. I just realized I wanted also to talk about Evangelion: 1.0 but we got carried away.

Look for it soon. I promise.

Recording November podcast tonight...

...it might wind up out in early December, and the themes for tonights discussion will probably run towards the festive. But we're doing it. We're getting closer to our goal of putting out a podcast a month. Maybe next year we'll get everything down pat for a more reliable schedule.

I will be likely talking about stuff like Bee Movie, the WGA strike, finally seeing Ratatouille, and what interests me this holiday season. I know that both Tom and Martin saw Enchanted, so they will likely air their views about it. And I know I will be pushing people to GO SEE PERSEPOLIS when it's out for a typical Sony Pictures "lick and a promise" release. I know that I have been telling people to boycott MPAA movies, but Persepolis is a foreign film and not a part of any WGA agreement. Prove me wrong when I say "it won't play in Peoria!" Prove me wrong! This is a great movie that deserves to be seen with an open mind and an open heart. Yes, it's about Iran and Iranians, some of them Iranian "commies." But it's great. Trust me.

Cartoon Geeks Podcast for June is up! (Well, almost)

Due to technical difficulties, the June podcast has been withdrawn.

We will be uploading a newer and better version very, very soon.

Please bear with us, thanks!
