This week we have something a little different. With everyone being tied up this week, we decided to skip the usual show. Instead, we have a pair of interviews with Adam Baldwin and Meaghan Rath recorded during the Polaris 25 convention which happened back on July 15, 16 and 17.

Interview with Adam Baldwin (02:24 – 27:37)

Adam Baldwin is known for a variety of roles including Full Metal Jacket, Independence Day and The X Files. However he is probably most famously known for his roles as Jayne Cobb in Firefly/Serenity and currently as John Casey on Chuck.

Interview with Meaghan Rath (28:00 – 50:20)

Meaghan plays Sally Malik in the SyFy series Being Human, a ghost who finds herself living under the same roof with a vampire and a werewolf. The show finished up it’s first season back in the spring and is currently filming for season 2.

This past weekend was the annual Toronto Fan Expo featuring a number of panels and events dedicated to Sci-Fi, horror and comic books. There were a number of celebrity panels featuring Dean Stockwell, James Marsters, Summer Glau, Stan Lee, Tahmoh Penikett and a whole pile more.

I’ll have more to say on the upcoming podcast, but in the meantime here are some of the photos that I snapped over the course of the three day conference. More photos and video to come.

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.
