This week we've got a 3 hour tank of a show for you, covering a lot of ground. We're discussing our current 'Best Of' list, which covers all forms of media and hopefully doesn't tread the same typical ground as other 'Best' lists. Some of our choices will be pretty easy to predict, but others may surprise you. I originally thought of splitting the show up into parts, but honestly there was no natural break in the flow of the discussion so I opted not to force it. Also, congratulations to our winners for the wallpaper contest! Both winning entries are linked below for you to download and enjoy!Wallpaper by Kevin from the PhillipinesDownload at 800 x 600Download at 1024 x 768Wallpaper by Andrew from AustraliaDownload at 800 x 600Download at 1024 x 768Download at 1280 x 1024Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave LondonClosing Music: "ET" by Peplab

This week Lando and I are discussing the increasingly thin material that constitutes the truth in this day and age. With the advent of blogging, Wikipedia, and the amazingly malleable nature of all web content is it any wonder that the concept of fact is losing all meaning in our world? And the situation in the real world is getting just as dicey, with reporters dropping to their knees ready to abandon all honor before the beauty of the Mighty Ratings. Can there even exist words like 'fact' or 'truth' when things seem to be true one day and a hazy memory the next?Where The Wild Things Are clipOpening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave LondonClosing Music: "ET" by Peplab

This week we're taking an alternate look at a topic that we  touched

on once before: the environment. As before, though, we're not debating the

issue of whether we are damaging the environment but rather whether we even can

damage this planet of ours. Do we as a species possess the power to alter

the planet, and within that question can we do anything to improve it?

This week it was tough to categorize the show, since we covered a lot of various ground. In essence, though, we started with the idea that nothing is sacred anymore. The starting point for the show was the abominable progress on the American version of the anime classic Akira. Early details on the production have driven us both insane, as they show little regard or understanding of the source material. This started us wondering if there is any reverance for anything on this planet anymore. We're also going to post the wallpaper contest results so keep an eye out!Here's the page of 300 gifs I had a heart attack laughing at.Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave LondonClosing Music: "ET" by Peplab

This week is a kind of half and half show, where we have a topic that we

feel is important to discuss but likely not meaty enough to dominate the show.

Rather than tank the idea, we're going have run our ramble a little longer than

usual and then spend the remaining time on the mini-topic. Don't forget, this

is the last week to get your wallpaper submissions in!

This week I'm on my own, so be forewarned. No real overall topic, just a

near hour long mix of things bouncing around the empty cavern of my skull.

Politics, the Terminator TV series and Godzilla....yes, these all belong

together don't they? Egon said it best: "Short, but pointless."

This week we're doing a little viewer mail before delving into our topic:

the nature of war within cyberspace. So much of our lives tied to the internet,

and in this increasingly interconnected society what does conflict consist of

when the battlefield is entirely virtual? Is there any such thing as war

online, or is it more like a giant game of Battleship between faceless

combatants?

This week we've got a blockbuster on our hands, an all out action bonanza

that will blow you away! Nah, not really, but it was a fitting start to what we

are covering: our list of truly notable directors. We go through a good group

of old and new directors, some with huge bodies of work and others just

starting out, but all quality. Of all the 'list' shows we've done, this one may

generate some delicious dissent among our listeners. There are a few obvious

choices, as there always are, but I think we popped a few surprises in the mix

as well. As always, let us know what you think!

This week Lando and I are starting out talking about Scientology, which

seems to be popping up in the news a lot lately. Is this really a religion, or

simply a cult with a better bank account? After that, we're taking stock of the

recent MacWorld Expo, where the big announcement was the slender MacBook Air.

The two of us will examine this newest laptop addition to the Apple fleet, as

well as the other big announcements of the show. Is the new crop of Cupertino

specials worth raving about, or is there really very little to notice this time

around?

This week we're taking a trip through CES after my recent visit in Las

Vegas to the monstrous technology show. While it is a true behemoth that is in

grave danger of being crushed beneath its own weight, it still produces a few

gems among the sewage. Lando and I are taking a look through my notes on the

show at some of things I thought were noteworthy, from huge TVs to the Blu-Ray

bomb that was dropped. It's most definitely a demented circus that happens out

in Vegas, and we're putting it under the microscope.
