Talking Bird

The Bird-Boys are "playin' it loose" with an "Eagleheart: Paradise Rising Post-Mortem". Viewer mail is read (thanks Francois). Heather M drops by (via .mp3) to talk sandwiches. Discussed: Susie Wagner activity books, Utilikilts, EVER MORE THEORIES! Stay tuned for more stuff in the future. Special acapella version of the theme song sung by co-host Jon. Thanks for listening!

A mega episode for a mega-finale. Talking Bird ruffles its feathers for Eagleheart's Season 3 (or series?) finale, "Honch". We go deep (when do we not go deep?) about all the things we loved about this episode. Stuff talked about: multiple universes, matrix sequels, Sophocles, sports and when is it okay to drink (according to Robert)

Program note. This is NOT the last Talking Bird. We are doing a whole-season recap episode coming up next week. Hit us up @talkingbirdcast or other venues if you want to participate. More info inside.

Jon and Robert are stuffed up (nasally speaking) but power through and talk about Eagleheart's penultimate season 3 episode, "Gribbs". After talking sick day television rituals, sports, the bird boys get to the nitty gritty about the ups and downs of a TV show that can't play nice with expectations. A passionate conversation for sure. Enjoy.

The Talking Bird Crew talks Eagleheart Season 3, Episode 8 "Spats". Jon suffers from Texas-sized cedar allergies. Robert slowly deteriorates due to a what will probably be swine flu. Nothing is going to stop them from talking about their favorite show. Also mentioned: Robert's childhood VHS collection, Jon's approaching PHD, The Color Purple, Battlefield Earth, their mutual distaste of tongue piercings on extras. Give them a shoutout on twitter @talkingbirdcast.

Enjoy!

The Bird Brothers go "low energy" on the final TALKING BIRD episode of 2013. Eagleheart's Season 3, Episode 7 (or 32) "Quint" is discussed. Also discussed: Jon's grandpa hits the dating scene lightly, Robert outs himself as a prog rock fan, anxiety over the possible end of Eagleheart is pondered.

Happy New Year and thanks for listening.

A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE! Jon calls in from his mother's dining room in Virginia so we can have a show*. Robert decides that Eagleheart's Paradise Rising, Episode 6 (or 17), "Joe" is probably his favorite and then doesn't seem to be able to explain why. Note taking is discussed. Brian Setzer is dissed. Tom Skerrit is recalled. Frank Stallone is mentioned. An unsuccessful contest is repeated. Listen to this one while wrapping that Eagleheart Season One DVD you bought for your Dad. Merry Christmas to all who like that stuff and have a great week to those who don't. Rat-a-tat-tat, boom-boom, Baby!

*thanks to those who helped.

Robert goes a little "Alex Jones" & Jon's cooler head prevails when the bird-boys talk about Eagleheart's Paradise Rising, Episode 5, "America".

Topics Covered: Jane Seymour's Open Heart Jewelry, Neil Sedaka, Peter Allen, Conan writers, Sammy Hagar's autobiography, and CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS!

Enjoy.
