UPDATED! – Oct 5, 2010 – Video version is finally available above
So our podcast is pretty late this week but we have something a little different this week. I got a chance to travel from Toronto down to Halifax, Nova Scotia and for the first time we were able to record the show with the four of us in the same room. We even got a hold of a camera and recorded a video version of the show which we’ll have for you soon enough. In the mean time, here’s the regular audio version.
This week we discuss a movie based on a popular video game franchise, Tekken, plus the four of us took a little field trip to a Hal-Con sponsored event where they screened two Joss Whedon productions, Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog and the cult classic, Serenity.
Tekken (02:09 – 10:57)
Three of us had a chance to catch the new film Tekken. Based on the popular video game franchise, this is the first live action film for the series; there was previously an animated version back in 1998. Check out our review to see how it translates to a live action film.
Calling all Browncoats! Event:
Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (11:04 – 26:19)
Serenity (26:20 – 44:15)
We had the chance to catch the Hal-Con event, Calling all Browncoats! where they screened both Dr Horrible and Serenity. For the uninitiated, Dr Horrible is a short that was initially released online through the Dr Horrible website and is currently available on DVD. Conceived during the 2008 writer’s strike by Joss Whedon, it stars Neil Patrick Harris as an evil genius striving to enter the Evil League of Evil and capture the attention of Felicia Day.
It also features Nathan Fillion who also was involved with the main feature of the evening, Serenity. Originally released in 2005, this film served as a continuation of the short-lived Fox TV show Firefly. Give a listen to catch our impressions of both features and the entire event.
