Weekly Blend #216 - Say No to Vin Diesel

We hit on a couple of casting questions/rumors this week in movie news, to which our chatroom tended to respond with Vin Diesel as their choice - an opinion the podcast crowd answered with a unified "No." We also talk about movie doldrums, and begin our look at Artist of the Month artist Sidney Poitier, with two fantastic films previously unseen by our staff.
Weekly Blend #215 - A Super-Sized, Weather-Delayed, Computer Created Mess

Fans who tried to tune in during our live broadcast know we were facing some computer issues. Little did we know those issues were affecting our broadcast clock as well. What we ended up with is a broadcast that's two days late thanks to the weather, with a cast that's spread out in three different locations, and a show that's fourteen minutes longer thanks to the computer. What a mess.
Weekly Blend #214 - Studio Interference

We're in the doldrums of the year, so we don't have a ton to talk about in the way of new reviews, but there have been several stories building with a similar theme: studio interference.
Shall We Play a Game? #5 - Big Bang Theory Off Broadway

We are joined by the regular Weekly Blend crew, creating a cast of three men and a woman, just like that TV show!
Weekly Blend #213 - 2009 Wrapped With a Not-So-Tidy Bow

2009 ended weeks ago, but we haven't gotten our final say after a slew of computer issues and personal illnesses. Now we finally get our final look at the year, after discussing the obstacles we've faced in the past few weeks. Listen to what we liked, what left us disappointed, names that stood out, and our favorite films of 2003. At least one of our choices is bound to surprise you.
Weekly Blend #212 - Kevin's Beef

It's an episode so long we couldn't possibly cram it into our traditional hourlong format (a technical malfunction with the timer notwithstanding). Inside you'll hear reviews of Sherlock Holmes, Up in the Air, and Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Darkside, as well as the finish of James Cameron month with Strange Days and True Lies.
Weekly Blend #211 - Merry Christmas 2009

Snow may have delayed this week's episode, but we're all still having a jolly time, especially with the looming white Christmas in front of us. This week we talk James Cameron's Avatar, continue our appreciation of Cameron with Titanic and Ghosts of the Abyss, discuss Brittany Murphy's death, and the Golden Globe nominations.
Weekly Blend #210 - Where Are Brad Pitt and His Dudes?

This week brings you everything you could possibly want in an episode of the Weekly Blend. We have new movie reviews of Invictus and The Princess and the Frog. We look at upcoming DVDs The Hangover and Inglorious Basterds. James Cameron month is continued with talk of Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Shall We Play a Game? #4 - Taking on the Lich King

Regular Weekly Blend co-host Margaret Williams shows off her geek side as she sits in on this fourth episode. Actually, she shows just how much gamer ranting she'll endure as Joe and Rafe discuss the latest in World of Warcraft, alternate MMORPGs like Aion and the forthcoming Star Trek Online (send us a beta key!).
Weekly Blend #209 - When You Stare Into the Abyss

Our earlier record tie this week prevented us from seeing any of the week's new releases, but this is still a full episode thanks to our in-depth look at James Cameron's Aliens and The Abyss. What makes Cameron's sequel better than the other Alien follow ups? Why is a cute kid acceptable? And why is The Abyss such a standout movie in our minds?
Weekly Blend #208 - A Fantastic Return

We're back with new reviews of Old Dogs and The Fantastic Mister Fox, as well as Rafe's survival story after watching Twilight.
Shall We Play a Game? #3 - Controversial Shooters

Rafe and Joe are joined by Brian Williams this week for a console heavy episode. The trio discuss Mr. T's influence on World of Warcraft, the long-awaited Xbox 360 update that brings social networking to the console, and some of the debate over the latest Call of Duty title, Modern Warfare 2, including why some countries might be seeing a different version.
Weekly Blend #207 - And Woody Harrelson Makes Two

We'll admit it - Woody Harrelson has very little to do with this week's podcast, but when you find a picture of him looking like a madman, you can't pass it up.
Weekly Blend #206 - The Downside of Up

For the first time in a few weeks, we have new reviews to talk about, with Disney's A Christmas Carol and The Men Who Stare at Goats in theaters. Up is headed for DVD/Blu-ray this week which has us excited.
Shall We Play a Game? #2 - Are You Ready To Rock?

We're back for another round of video game news and reviews. This time around we discuss the oversaturation of the Rock Band market, with new additions from Lego, and DJ Hero.
