Minor correction:
In ‘The Life of Brian’ it was names with R’s that the crowd was trying to get Pontious Pilot to say.
As in- Wodger, Bwian, Woderick, Wudy, Audwea, etc.
And I think Biggus Dickus lisped his T’s, I am not sure… It has been quite a while since I have seen it. And his wife was Incontinentia Buttocks.
And I can understand Captian Hammers feelings on ducks.
Ducks are Fowl!
I wish Nathan was going to play the Green Lantern instead of Ryan Reynolds… (sigh)
Ditto. I think Ryan Reynolds is a tool, and his very presence tarnishes what could be an otherwise excellent movie.
Thank ya kindly, sir. Actual quote from one of the kids after hearing podcast: “Why am I on the news?”
Dr. Horrible has a little PG content. I cough loudly on the “the hammer is my…” line, or double-tap the mute button. And I’m not saying that I personally made it or have it, but I’ve heard that someone somewhere created an slightly edited version of the soundtrack and Commentary! songs with a couple extra words edited here and there. I heard.
I can’t help but wonder if Joss got the idea of “Captain Hammer” from Nathan Fillion’s role in PG Porn where he played a construction worker.
Long time lurker, first time poster. Hi. Great cast, as always. Speaking of walking without rhythm, what about a Dune Arc for the podcast? Books (minus the newer prequely stuff being put out by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson), the 1984 movie, the awesome mini-series adaptations by the former Skiffy network. It’s quite an expansive verse.
Also? Ducks rule!
Oh my lord, I laughed so hard I hurt myself!
I’m just taking a break during the Whedonsday night Frak party of Buffy and Angel to just say that if you like Firefly and Dr. Horrible, these are two shows that should be watched. Think of the humor, drama, tragedy all of the other things that you think of when talking about Dr. Horrible and Firefly, and realize you’ll get that in seven seasons of Buffy and five of Angel. The first season of Buffy is a little rough, but all of it is well worth the time investment.
i just came across that the other day on youtube. I was looking up Nathan Fillion and every other page is this PG porn. So finally I decided to see what the heck it is, and it is about the silliest thing you can find online… Right down Nathan’s alley 
Welcome aboard, Sunny.
Yeah, Dune seems ripe for an arc, but at this point it’s an ‘evergreen’ (i.e., it’s not time-sensitive) so I imagine the trio will cover it when they have a two or three week gap to fill.
Hi Sunny! LOL, we tried to get Chuck to read Dune last year (he’d never read it! Can you believe…!?) I think he took about 4 months to get through it.
Welcome Sunny. Yeah, I would so love a Dune arc too. I think Chuck told me once that Sean has read many of the books, but I could be wrong.
I’ve read 'em all. And, yes, I’ll be receiving Winds of Dune in the mail shortly.
And to just to boast my Dune-fan-ness, my Avatar has ALWAYS been Duncan Idaho.
I was very excited when the conversation veered onto the marching band field. Keep the drum & bugle corps commentary coming! It’s kinda what I do for a living…the whole band thing.
Any marching band performing the music from “Dr. Horrible” or–what I’ve contemplated seriously–the Guild’s “Do You Want to Date My Avatar?” would have to secure arranging and performance rights. School groups are not exempt from the requirement–as the lawyers from ASCAP and Lucasfilm are ready to remind us through cease-and-decist communications.
Now that more colleges are adding NFL-style programming to the game experience (halftime promotional events and JumboTron ™ video content), the temptation to perform a sendup of a popular web series is very high.
Now just thinking aloud: I have a feeling that the band kids would totally get it. But the football crowd?
Younger football crowd would prolly get it since that demographic would have followed Buffy, Angel, and Firefly. Also, we’re not the only forum or group who puts the word out about web series like The Guild and Dr. Horrible.
Maybe I’m being optimistic or naive.
Yay! I got Rach on my side! I’ll soon convert others…
OMG! Someone got (and liked) my joke! does a little dance I thought I was just eliciting groans here.
Cool, Deckard! Chuck and I both have marching experience - him in high school and college, me in high school and one summer of DCA corps when I was between my junior and senior year. It was a blast! I played sax normally so in DCA I got to play in the cymbal line, and (as you know) it’s a lot more work than it appears. It was one of the best times of my life - the camaraderie and the trips we took to perform shows - just awesome!
Yeah, copyright issues can get dicey. My college “marching” band (I put marching in quotation marks because it was more of a scramble band than a marching band) made arrangements of the themes from Super Mario Brothers and Legend of Zelda but kept them on the down low by using them as section cheers and not as half-time material.
Awww, it’s too bad you and Chuck didn’t meet each other in DCA corps or marching band. Just think of all the romantic cymbalism you guys could have had!
whoa, this boy reminds me of Lizzie McGuire’s kid brother…

Here’s a neat little tidbit. The lab coat that Dr. Horrible is wearing is the same prop that Simon Tam wore in “Ariel”.
And Joss does too.
Finally getting around to listening to this cast. It’s awesome they won that Emmy!
Had a few things to share:
The Bad Horse Chorus:

And from XKCD’s “The Race”… “Captain Tightpants + Captain Hammer = Captain Hammerpants?” 
And finally, my costume last Halloween (2008)
The coat was handmade and pretty close (allowing for extra width ;)), but I did end up hand drawing the logo on the pocket.
