David McVay is joined by Josh Philpott and Nicholas McVay
Recorded live on Ustream. We tried to get Ben Straw of Ben’s Tech Show on to the show this week but we had Skype issues. David has recovered from his sickness and talks a little about his Michael Bay and Renny Harlin experiences.
Tech News This Week: The new “Censordyne” protest ad has been denied screenings on Qantas airlines and GetUp.org.au (the makers of the ad) are being sued by a toothpaste company. Stephen Conroy wins Internet Villain of the Year Award, Google Chrome OS announced and Google removes it’s beta tags on their apps. Microsoft fires back by making a cloud version of Office for free and Bill Gates wants to control the weather. Lastly, China has removed electro shock therapy from web addict rehabilitation :-)
Film News This Week: Neil Patrick Harris will host the Emmy Awards (Legend-wait for it-dary!), Spongebob Squarepants turns 10, Ryan Reynolds is The Green Lantern, The Hughes Brother’s The Book of Eli, writer sues Lost (real or marketing?), Nicolas Cage wants to ‘re-conceive’ Ghost Rider and the Vatican approves of the new Harry Potter film.
For our feature review this week, we talk about “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince”. Josh and David both loved the film and felt that it was one of the best of the series. Caution for those who have not read the book, we do go into a spoiler zone at the end. Nicholas ‘The Little Geek’ McVay wanders into the studio to give his feelings on the latest Harry Potter as well.
As always this episode carries an explicit tag due to small amounts of bad language.
