Geek Actually After Show Ep098 – Cronenberg
This week Calum challenges Josh's review of David Cronenberg's 'Videodrome'. This opens us up to a deep analysis of 'Videodrome' and the work of director David Cronenberg. I don't think we convinced Calum but it was a great discussion. We also discuss the science of shockwaves in Star Trek and Star Wars plus Facebook sues Teachbook.
REPLAY – Geek Actually Live Shows for August 28th
Here are this week's live shows presented in the same order that we recorded them. We start with Tech Actually then Film Actually and end the day with the After Show. Because the show is live, you get it here with all the mistakes intact. Check the individual audio show posts for the show notes.

Film Actually Ep098 – B00bies!
This week David McVay and Josh Philpott are joined Calum Wilson Austin and Shane Gregory for a review of 'Piranha 3D'. We also have footage from 'The Walking Dead', an 8 year olds take on 'The Expendables' and a new List of Five.
Tech Actually Ep098 – I’ve Got Bags of Money, Make it Happen
This week on Tech Actually we discuss our lack of government in Australia, Apple's new patent for a touch iMac, a Paul Shin Divine update and 3D TV's you can touch!
For Love Of The Game Episode 2 – Making Enemies Out Of Friends
My all time favourite video game industry story starts with the 2 major video game heavyweights of the late 1980’s and early 1990's, Sega and Nintendo. Sega, back in the day when they actually made consoles, were quite a gutsy and ambitious bunch.
Filled with Whedon-y Goodness
Could you be a Whedonite? It can be hard to tell but if you've ever watched an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer or become inexplicably obsessed with Nathan Fillion you have already succumbed. You might not even have heard of the writing, directing and producing extravaganza that is Joss Whedon. But you've almost certainly seen one of his projects.
Avatar: The Really, Really Special ‘Can I Squeeze Another Dollar Out Of You’ Edition
James Cameron's 'Avatar' is being re-released in 3D into theatres now billed as 'the special edition' with 9 minutes of addition footage. Cool, I thought, that will come out on DVD/Blu-Ray by Christmas and I can finally buy it. But wait, Fox has just let it out of the bag that when the Special Edition comes out on DVD/Blu-Ray, it is going to have 16 extra minutes of new footage!
Video Game to Movie Adaptations Gone Mad : Angry Birds The Movie – WTF
Okay I have heard some pretty dumb movie ideas over the last couple of years (Ouija Board The Movie leaps to mind) and this isn't the dumbest one I've heard, but now 'Angry Birds', you know, that addictive little iPhone/iPad game, wants to be made into a movie.
Just a quick note to let you know that earlier this week I was the guest on Brad Anderson’s new podcast, ‘Right This Instant’. Brad was the co-founder and former host (and now a re-occurring guest) of The Movie Fan Cast. His new podcast is a film discussion show where he picks a film from ‘Netflix’s Watch Instantly’ and then Brad and his guest go deep into review of the film. The hope is that he will uncover hidden gems or, alternatively, save you a couple of hours of your life.
This week he invited me to come on and take a look at the Australian documentary ‘Not Quite Hollywood’. Now, if you are a long term listener to my show, you will know that I really like this film and Brad’s show gave me another opportunity to really discuss why. I had a lot of fun and the show is really worth checking out. The episode was released today.
So shoot over to the Movie Fan House at moviefanhouse.com to find out more about this podcast and their flagship show, ‘The Movie Fan Cast’ hosted by Charlie and Jesse. While you’re there, you can also find information on their new podcast about ‘The Walking Dead’, the comic and the AMC series that is starting in October. I plan to have a guest spot on that show too.

Welcome to the Geek Actually After Show. This un-stuctured and un-planned podcast is what what you get after we finish recording the two main shows Tech Actually and Film Actually. We basically just leave the mics on and record whatever we feel like talking about. This show gives us a chance to talk about anything that didn’t fit into the format of the main shows.
This week Calum challenges Josh’s review of David Cronenberg’s ‘Videodrome’. This opens us up to a deep analysis of ‘Videodrome’ and the work of director David Cronenberg. I don’t think we convinced Calum but it was a great discussion. We also discuss the science of shockwaves in Star Trek and Star Wars plus Facebook sues Teachbook.
Some Links of things we discussed:
Just a quick one to let you all know about the new release schedule for the podcasts. We have been releasing the audio podcasts on Sunday (Film Actually), Monday (Tech Actually) and Wednesday (Geek Actually After Show).
I thought it was a little unfair to punish the tech listeners by delaying the show by an extra day so I am now releasing both Film and Tech on Sunday. The Geek Actually After Show is going to be push forward by one day as well and will be released on Tuesdays.
So, the new Schedule (just to make it really clear) is as follows:
Saturday – Live Recording
Sunday – Tech Actually & Film Actually (audio version) are released.
Sunday – The video replays of all the shows are posted.
Tuesday – Geek Actually After Show (audio version) is released.

Finally, a decent quality version of the Comic-Con footage from ‘The Walking Dead’. For those that don’t know, this is the new TV series by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Mist). It is an adaptation of the comic book of the same name. It will start airing on TV in the States on Halloween. We posted the pirate copy of this a few weeks ago so now you can enjoy it in better quality.

My all time favourite video game industry story starts with the 2 major video game heavyweights of the late 1980’s and early 1990′s, Sega and Nintendo. Sega, back in the day when they actually made consoles, were quite a gutsy and ambitious bunch. They were the first to bring an 8-bit console to the home market (Master System), the first to the 16-bit war (Megadrive/Genesis) but their major accolade was that they were the first to incorporate CDs as a game storage platform.
