Slight change of plan, the discussion about the documentary “Not Quite Hollywood” has been moved to next week.

This week is a short show as David McVay looks at the September Announcement from Apple. What new toys has Apple announced? New iPod Nano, New iPod Touch, iTunes 8 and a 2.1 upgrade to iPod Touch and iPhone.

Mirren Lee then joins David for an analysis of the new Microsoft ad campaign starring Jerry Seinfeld. Was it $300 million well spent?

September 16th - Episode 7 - Who’s Alan Dale?


Powered by Podbean.com

In this weeks episode, I (David McVay) am joined by Mirren Lee and Jacob Oberman. We discuss overclocked computers, the iPhone/iPod Touch 2.1 Upgrade, the second Seinfeld/Gates ad and we review Rob Cohen’s “The Mummy : Tomb of the Dragon Emperor”.

The debate is on! Our main topic of the week is the documentary “Not Quite Hollywood” - this leads us into a very heated debate on the state of the current Australian Film Industry. We finish up with Mirren Lee’s gossip of the week.

Note: You may have noticed by now that the Little Geek’s section is recorded separately. This is because I record him after school. You will notice that we refer to him coming up next a couple of times and then he never comes. This is because he came home from school not feeling well. He will join us next week.

September 24th - Episode 8 - Internal Exams and Blue Screens
Powered by Podbean.com

This week I (David McVay) am Joined by Mirren Lee and Jacob Oberman in a discussion about the flip flopping of the Microsoft Campaign, the Emmys and Bluescreens of Death. Mirren and Jacob talk about the hit series Mad Men, which they have very different opinions on. I review Step Brothers and the new HBO series True Blood.

Mirren gives us some trivia and Nicholas (the little geek) McVay tells why he loves his Mac computer.

Spring has sprung and the mood of the show is fairly light and fun.

This episode carries an explicit tag due to infrequent bad language.
