One year ago, Eric and Lauren started a meager little podcast to talk about all kinds of geeky things in film, television, books and anything else. One year later, they are still working on that same meager podcast along with long-time contributor Cody. So to bring it back full circle, the Tavern is once more talking about the summer of 2012 in terms of the various media. Cody defends his Battleship, Eric defends a vampire hunter known as Abraham Lincoln while Lauren enjoys the fireworks. We also take on True Blood, Falling Skies, and have an extended conversation about Aaron Sorkin's HBO Drama The Newsroom.
