With regard to Sean’s hate mail, it seems odd that someone who is that crazy religious would be listening to a sci fi podcast. Most of the sci-fi I’ve seen doesn’t really tow the line as far as traditional dogma.
The set design in CoR reminds me a lot of art deco. We have a lot of that architecture here in Tulsa, and I often think of the movie when I go somewhere downtown.
I must say I’m impressed. I’ve never quite thought of the specific criteria for a B movie versus A movie. Now, through your awesome research, I’ll be able to qualitfy my comments from now own. Thanks for looking into this further!

Really?? I didn’t recognize our Jamaican friend. Who was he?
I only picked up Christopher Heyerdahl whose soul got robbed by the Lord Marshall. And Aaron Douglas was in there also somewhere.
I guess after 16 Seasons worth of TV there isn’t anyone in Vancouver that hasn’t been in Stargate at some point.
It just stood out to me and it looks like at least 60% of the credited actors have been in Stargate.

What do I get if I find a pick of Juan as a Jaffa?
Find a pic of Juan as a Jaffa? You mean 'shop a pic…bwahahaha!
Doooo eeeeeet!
The only reason we didn’t see him in an episode is cause he was the only smart Jaffa. Juan was the tech Jaffa monitoring the engines and stuff. As soon as he saw SG-1 ring in he swiped a scout ship, loaded it with naquadah and set course for Ba’al’s hideout where he traded it for hookers and beers.
Still have an hour left to go in my 'cast listening for the week, but a couple of mini-thoughts!
The Daria-DVD-sadness reminds me of how I felt about the Quantum Leap DVDs. Loved the show when I was younger, but with all those 60s & 70s classics, I guess it would have cost a ridiculous amount to put out the episodes as originally aired. I’ve netflixed a disc or two, but they’re just not the same without the original music. Especially the scene where Al dances with his wife Beth to Georgia on My Mind. The yearning in the song makes the scene!
And Thor doesn’t necessarily have to be spandex to look like the comics. The version of Thor from the Ultimate Avengers line looks pretty sharp in some sort of black leather getup. Fur codpiece not necessary!
And the whole Daria (/WKRP/Fast Eddie/etc.) problem is why people resort to ‘other means.’
When did Thor have a leather codpiece anyway?
We don’t talk about that version, usually found on certain “special interest” channels…
The problem with Daria is that there aren’t any “other means.” It’s old enough that there are no digital copies, and as I mentioned on the cast, there rebroadcast on The N didn’t actually show all the episodes.
What they did to M.I.A. is beyond unforgivable. One of the greatest moments in television history is completely desecrated by the piss poor decision of someone who cares nothing for art, just how it looks in there bank account. :mad:
There are other means but they’re universally garbage quality
Blasphemy? Wow, Sean, you’re up there with the big evil guns, now!
With regards to my $300…
Earn my bookcase! What an interesting idea…
I’d buy prolly a bunch of SF/F novels, prolly some classics I don’t have copies of anymore, new paperbacks, and to be honest? Stuff that I want to buy abroad, 300 bucks would only buy me about 12-15 books (be they novels, poetry, essays, or whatever). And they wonder why people don’t read in that country…
The only time I’ve read a romance novel (not that they aren’t great, I’m sure, I’ve just never really wanted to read one) was for a feminist literary theory class. Though there’s definitely stuff in a lot of SF/F that would probably make Sean… “happy”
Gotta disagree about Legend of Neil vs. The Guild. I love The Guild, and Legend of Neil is a bit too raunchy for me.
Don’t tell Solai, but I didn’t like Archer, either. I even tried watching all of it on Netflix. Nope. Not my kind of humor, at all.
Porn with a plot! (NSFW methinks…)
I love Coupling. And this is my favorite episode of Coupling.
THat IS a valid reason! BB is a great show.
I forgot where I first heard or read this pick (maybe it’s here, even), but while I’m really happy that Linda Hamilton got the part, I really thought Mary McDonnell was it - in the finale of Chuck, that little glimpse of the back of the mom resembled Roslin more than Sarah Connor.) I suppose, either way, it’s awesome!
No kidding. I obtained a whole bunch of Daria eps through alternative methods a while back, but most of them were indeed the edited The N versions (though at least, you get the actual music on those…). You might get the odd episode that is truly the original, but to assemble the whole series would be pretty impossible (or at least, really, really, time consuming) through legal or less legal means.
I’d have to cop to reading a whole lot of Virginia Andrews - they are romance novels…but with a whole lot of incest - when I was young. Probably too young. Was traumatized for ages.
I LOVE Coupling! SHADAYIM! And I guess I am a romantic after all, I love this:
Even though Coupling and Doctor Who are so different, I think both shows show just how deft Moffat is at writing witty dialogue as well as constructing successful complicated story structures.
That scene had me in tears I was laughing so hard! (and it pretty reliably does… when I go on a Susan and Patrick episode rewatch )
Just want to say, I really enjoyed Chronicles of Riddick (and Pitch Black).
These are yet another perfect example of movies I probably wouldn’t have watched if not for GWC, so woot!
Really unique movies in terms of look, characters, story.
I don’t really pay any mind to labels like “B movies”. In other words, a “B” label doesn’t sway me from watching something.
However, it used to be that a “B” sci fi movie including sub par special effects.
And I guess we’re at the level of technology now were that’s not a factor, because …Oh My Crom…the visual effects in this movie were astoundingly good. I especially loved in CoR the whole “killer daylight” effects.
Great stuff.
When I think of B movies, I still think of the old ones such as, Godzilla and Creature from the Black Lagoon. But with today’s budget I think anything created just for the SciFi channel, like Megashark vs Giant Octopus screams “B movie.” Never watched it, but the trailer alone, kills me every time I see it.
CoR is a bit campy but still has all the qualities of an A movie. Campy is so misunderstood.
