    With Spooky Season drawing to a close, Mark and Joe reminisce about some of their favorite VAMPIRE movies over the years.  From Vampire Hunter D to 30 Days of Night, today's Side Stitches touches on some of the best vampire franchises of the late 90's and early 2000's...and they may go off on a slight tangent about Pan...

  • The Sauntering Deceased (A Look Back at The Walking Dead)

    *SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE WALKING DEAD COMIC & TV SERIES*


    From the gritty black and white pages of the acclaimed comic book series, AMC brought a story of survival to our TV screens that had never been seen on network television. Hoards of zombies ended life as we knew it week after week and our heroes struggled to make it from episode to episode; which left us all with one question...what does "Don't dead, open inside" mean?

    Welcome to season one episode 38 of Digital Dissection: A Nerd Podcast! This week Joe, Mark, and Chelsea discuss how AMC's The Walking Dead took the country by storm and how that storm may be still be persisting but doesn't quite have the same thunder.

  • Pro-LEW-fic feat. Lew Temple

    While there have been a number of athletes that find themselves in the arts, few can say they found the level of success as Lew Temple, even if the characters he plays seem to die too soon.

  • The On Screen Deaths of Lew Temple

    The portrayal of death on screen can often be senseless, brutal, cruel, or even meaningful.  No matter how it's been used to move a story forward, there are two actors who have been struck down on screen more than most; and one of them goes by the name Lew Temple.


    On today's Side Stitches, Mark and Joe discuss the career deaths of Lew Temple from his time on the original Walker Texas Ranger, to The Walking Dead, and beyond! Be sure to listen to this week's main episode when Lew Temple himself sits down and chats with Mark!

  • INCEPTION

    In 2010, between entries of the Dark Knight Trilogy, Christopher Nolan directed a film he had been planning for decades.  A film that made us wonder if our thoughts were actually ours and made us marvel at the complexities of our own minds; to the point where we are still talking about this movie 11 years later.  


    Welcome to Season 1, Episode 36 of Digital Dissection: A Nerd Podcast; today, the dissection crew of Chelsea, Mark, and Joe go deeper with the film Inception.  Join us as we go down another level about the history and finer details of this modern classic.

  • A History of Portable Consoles

    Picture it...it's the early 90's, you and your family are on the road for summer vacation, the sun has set but you need to game hasn't. You try to turn on the dome light of the family station wagon so you can keep arranging falling blocks at break-neck speed, but your parents tell you it's illegal to drive with that light on...and it would be years, perhaps even decades before you found out that was a lie.


    Welcome back to Side Stitches! This week, in a twist of fate, Joe and Joe alone talks about a brief history of consoles before this week's main episode with console and electronics hacker Ben Heck drops by for a visit.
