Tech Actually Ep096 – We All Love Our Mothers

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Hosts: David McVay & Josh Philpott

This is the official tech podcast of geekactually.com. The tech show by geeks for geeks and non-geeks. Accessible tech for everyone is the motto we live by. This week on Tech Actually we talk about the possible new owner of Facebook Paul Ceglia, broken iPhone 4 glass, Microsoft’s out of cycle patch to fix the icon flaw, iOS’s newly discovered security flaw, Blackberry’s woes in the Middle East and the death of Labor’s Internet Censorship Filter.

Now, if you are new to Geek Actually you are probably wondering why this episode of Tech Actually is numbered 96. No, we are not insane, Tech Actually and Film Actually (our movie podcast) used to be one show called The Geek Actually Podcast and this week we split them into two shows. We kept the numbering continuity across all three of our shows (this includes Geek Actually After Show). All the information on the re-structuring of the shows can be found here at geekactually.com.

Tech Actually is recorded live on Saturdays at 12pm (AEST UTC+10). Go to geekactually.com/live to watch it live.

REPLAY – Geek Actually Live Shows for August 7th

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. Please note: we had video failure right at the end of Tech Actually. The screen died and went blue for some unknown reason. The audio was fine so we just continued and finished the last five minutes without image. The problems were corrected before we started Film Actually. Enjoy the shows. Continue reading

Film Actually Ep004 (096) – What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Hosts: David McVay & Josh Philpott

Welcome to the Film Actually podcast, your weekly dose of movie geek. Film Actually is the official movie podcast of geekactually.com. This week David McVay and Josh Philpott review the new creature feature by Vincenzo Natali ‘Splice’ (which opens in Australian cinemas on August 12th) and the new mini-series ‘Riverworld’ which is available on DVD and will be airing on Movie Extra on August 15th at 8.30pm. We also have new trailers, our entertainment buzz section and our new Lists of Five.

*Update 14/10/2011 – Film Actually was a split off from the main Geek Actually show and originally maintained numbering continuity with that show. That logic no longer works as the shows have become two unique entities, so we have gone back and re-numbered the Film Actually shows to reflect their true episode number. This show is now officially episode 4 but when you listen to the show you will hear it referred to as episode 96, this is why. Sorry about any confusion or inconvenience.

Film Actually is recorded live every Saturday at approximately 1.15pm (AEST UTC +10) at geekactually.com/live

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Hosted by: David McVay & Josh Philpott

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 we discuss the new trailers for ‘Titanic 2’ and ‘Yogi Bear’ (I kid you not, these are both real) plus we take a look at the leaked ‘Thor’ movie preview from Comic-Con. We also discuss the Taliban’s plan to train monkeys to kill us and some of the juicer highlights from the recently leaked government files on Wikileaks.

Some Links of things we discussed: Continue reading
