The Big Red Podcast

This week Deeps and I tackle a completely un-Christmas topic: Showtime's original series Dexter starring Michael C. Hall.

We talk about the season that just ended, we break down Dexters dark relationships and analyze the twisted finale. If you've missed the series or the books - you might want to skip this podcast.

We're spoiling everything. But, if you were totally enchanted by the dearly demented Dexter, please join us as we discuss the most compelling new show in 2006.

We had incredible audio problems on the Sunday podcast,

so I recruited my husband - the mysterious and brilliant - Deeps to pitch in while Derek is

away for the holidays. We tried to recreate as much of the original podcast as possible with

mixed results. At least the sounds is better - which is no small improvement. Sorry for the last dud.

That was totally my bad.

This week Deeps and I talk games - like F.E.A.R and Rainbow Six (or Rainbow Brite - I can't remember)and we chat about HIMYM, The OC, Scrubs, The Office, Masters of Horror, and what's coming in 2007. Plus I share an exciting update about The Big Red Blog's Decemberstravaganza fundraising campaign for Donors Choose. Visit www.thebigredblog.com for more information.

Earl goes down to old Mexico, everyone has a baby on Scrubs, The OC is good again, Rudy has a man crush on Dexter and we break down the Heroes fall finale. And I make a pitch for The Big Red Blog's Decemberstravaganza fundraising campaign for Donors Choose. Visit www.thebigredblog.com for more information.

This week Derek and I discuss what was going on with our shady Heroes just six months ago, the magic of Wayne Brady, a debate about the allegedly triumphant return of Scrubs, the killer inside everyone in Miami, and of course the dumbing down of our girl Veronica Mars. And I share a restaurant review for a place you'll probably never visit.

This week I fly solo - like a turkey. If they could fly. Where was I? I talk about The Subject Steve by Sam Lipsyte, what's going on with the Ice Truck Killer on Dexter, the rapist menacing Veronica Mars, and of course what happens when Angsty McBangs saves the cheerleader. Did he save the world? Can he get a haircut now? Send your feedback to: [email protected].

Alyssa and Derek attack pop culture from all sides: TomKat, Borat and The Position by Meg Wolitzer are examined. We also review the last few episodes of Dexter, Veronica Mars and Heroes as we try to understand who the mysterious killer/rapist/killer is. Not enough mystery? We try to crack the case of the French wedding that should never have occurred on the Gilmore Girls. French bureaucracy waits for no sweeps stunt. Send your feedback to: [email protected].

This week Derek joins me and two special guests for a round-table discussion about LOST's fall finale. We hash out what we've learned over the six episodes, review previous seasons, share out oddball theories, wallow in brief moments of bitterness and speculate on what will happen come February. Oddly enough we all agree that Charlie is annoying. Send your feedback to: [email protected]. Or leave a voicemail message at: 206-312-9599
