Crosstawk

Hey there, folks! On this very special episode of Box Office Poison, Jonathan Metts is joined by the fashionably absent Evan Burchfield to talk about David Lynch's 1984 Sci-Fi oddity, the screen adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. Starring Kyle MacLachlan and Francesca Annis, the film was never really held in much esteem, but Jonny and Evan sure have a lot to say on it. So sync up the audio track with your DVD player and give this one a whirl!

Thanks for listening, guys! We'll see you tomorrow for the long-awaited fifth episode of Hardcore Nerdography!

Hey there, True Believers! Crosstawk Comics is back with a brand new episode. We had originally planned for this episode to cover Marvel 2099 and bring in our good buddy Jonny Metts, but we didn't have quite enough time to prepare, so Gus and I decided to fall back on an idea we'd been meaning to explore since the beginning: the Robins.

The Boy Wonder's followed Batman around for over 70 years, and we're here to talk about who's worn the domino mask, what the differences have been, and how the role's evolved over time.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, you can let us know via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the website.

Thanks for listening, folks. We'll see you on Monday for a very special bonus from Box Office Poison.

Hey folks, and welcome back to Crosstawk Sports. The Tallahassee crew's here to give you the latest and greatest in the world on the field after taking a week off a while back, and there's plenty of stuff to talk about. They begin with some March Madness before touching on the NBA, and finish with a whole lot of MLB.

As always, if you want to tell us what you think, you can hit us up via email ([email protected], Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the website.

Thanks for listening, guys. See you on Friday for Crosstawk Comics!

Sorry for being tardy, guys, but fear not! I come bearing a brand new episode of Box Office Poison: The Podcast About Movies and Movie Things. This episode, Stan Ferguson had to duck out, but we're joined by Rough Draught's own Jon Rind to help fill the void. And we've got plenty to talk about, too, from Green Hornet to Paranormal Activity 2 to Reformat the Planet to Rango. And, of course, we've got our Movie of the Month: Wet Hot American Summer chosen by Mike.

And for those of you who like to play along, next month's movie will be Miller's Crossing.

As always, let us know what you think via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section. And for goodness' sake, guys, go over to iTunes and rate/review us. Or else it gets the hose again.

Thanks for listening, guys! See you on Tuesday for Crosstawk Sports!

DMP returns with yet another batch of music for you to enjoy. This episode happens to guest star none other than me, Karl Castaneda. It turns out you folks like to suggest stuff for the show, so when a very special listener named Kevin insisted that Jonny devote some time to Chicago-based "dad rock" band Wilco, I gladly stepped in to assist him, seeing as how I've been a fan of theirs for years.

So a very big thank you to Kevin! We had to pluck out a few choices to meet our timetable, but his fantastic set list provided the following:

1. Shouldn't Be Ashamed (A.M)

2. Misunderstood (Being There)

3. Sunken Treasure (Being There)

4. I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (Yankee Hotel Foxtrot)

5. War on War (Yankee Hotel Foxtrot)

6. At Least That's What You Said (A Ghost is Born)

7. Thelogians (A Ghost is Born)

8. You Are My Face (Sky Blue Sky)

9. Impossible Germany (Sky Blue Sky)

10. You Never Know (Wilco)

11. I'll Fight (Wilco)

Encore:

Woody Guthrie - "Jesus Christ"

The iPad 2 officially goes on sale today, so we thought we'd throw our thoughts in. This week, I'm joined by Jonny Metts and Andy Goergen (NWR Newscast) as we weigh in on Apple's tiny titan. Are we getting iPads? Was this enough of an update? What are we looking for in an iPad going forward? All these things and more will be answered in this Crosstawk Presents!

What do you think of the iPad 2? Let us know via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk) and on the website.

Thanks for listening, guys! We'll see you on Tuesday for a brand new Discover Music Project!

Hey, folks, sorry for the lack of updates this past weekend. Unfortunately, Hardcore Nerdography is going to be delayed for a bit due to some circumstances beyond our control. But we'd hate to leave you totally high and dry, so in advance of its planned release (this Friday), here's a brand new episode of Rough Draught: The Beer Appreciation Show. And for you Hardcore fans, this episode was taped in Tallahassee, Florida, and thus, in addition to Jon Rind and myself, Mike and Amanda are on the show!

This month, we've got a ton of great beers, including Mike Sklens' Homebrew (~5%), Magic Hat Demo (6%), Southern Tier Phin and Matt's Extraordinary Ale (5.4%), Dogfish Head Chateau Jiahu (9%), Sierra Nevada's 30th Anniversary Grand Cru and a very special BONUS BEER.

As always, if you've got any thoughts or concerns, send 'em on over to us via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk) or on the website.

Thanks for listening, guys. We'll see you tomorrow for a brand new Crosstawk Sports, and again on Friday for a new Crosstawk Presents!

DMP returns this week in a slightly different format. Due to some unforeseen technical difficulties, Jonny was unable to get a regular episode done in time for this week's release. Never fear, though, as he'll be hosting the show solo to give you an expanded look at Phish, his personal favorite band, and the subject of Discover Music Project Episode 1. As he says at the top of the show, if you haven't heard that episode yet, you'd do well to go back and listen, as he'll be getting into more advanced selections that aren't quite as palatable to Phish newbies.

As always here's the set list:

2001 (12/30/2010 New York, NY)

Water in the Sky (12/28/2003 Miami, FL)

Free (12/29/2003 Miami, FL)

Divided Sky (Junta - Studio Album)

I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove (12/28/2009 Miami, FL)

Fluffhead (12/30/2010 New York, NY)

Waste (12/31/2010 New York, NY)

Punch You in the Eye (12/31/2009 Miami, FL)

I Didn't Know (3/6/2009 Hampton, VA)

Back in October of 2008, I started a podcast with my three roommates, Phillip Snyder, Jonathan Rind and Michael Casper. We were also fortunate enough to have tons of great guest hosts, the most prolific being Jesse Laier. It was a bit rough to start, and we never really lost that roughness, but it was an experience that I'll treasure for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, it had to come to an end when I moved away from Tallahassee in August of 2009, and though we've all kept in touch, hung out and even still get together for various podcasts right here on Crosstawk, we've never all reunited for the show that started it all: TAWK-112.

Thankfully, I made my way up to Tallahassee earlier this month to spend some time with the guys, record a couple Rough Draughts and generally have a great weekend. While I was there, though, we knew we had to record a one-off episode of TAWK while we had the chance, and so we did.

We're going to go into detail on the show, but I can't even put into words how much I loved making that show, which is why I'm so proud of what we're presenting to you today. This podcasts is TAWK-112, through and through, with the best we had to offer as well as the gross-out stories that probably turned a few people off. We never had a theme for the show because we didn't need one - TAWK was about us and that was always more than enough.

At nearly two whole hours, this is the longest episode of TAWK-112 ever made, and for my money, it's probably the best.

Never the end,

Karl Castaneda
