Geek Actually Episode 44 – Hail To The King Baby

David McVay is joined by Josh Philpott and Sarah Kalpokas

Recorded live on Ustream. Josh fills us in on the new Wolfenstein game and some other games that are getting the collector’s edition treatment in Australia.

Tech News This Week: Microsoft wants to open shops near the Apple stores, Amazon acts like Big Brother about 1984, Microsoft claims Apple called them about the laptop hunter ads and is Facebook breaking Australian privacy laws?

Film News This Week: Two new trailers hit the internet, Alice in Wonderland and The Book of Eli, and they are good. And finally, Sam Raimi signs to direct the Warcraft movie.

We then take a trip down memory lane and look at the career of Sam Raimi ending in our feature review of his new movie, Drag Me To Hell. David, Josh and Sarah all loved this film and felt it was a fun, scary ride that returns Raimi to the place he started, but better. We have a very lively spoiler zone at the end of this review.

As always this episode carries an explicit tag due to small amounts of bad language.
