We had incredible audio problems on the Sunday podcast, so I recruited my husband - the mysterious and brilliant - Deeps to pitch in while Derek is away for the holidays. We tried to recreate as much of the original podcast as possible with mixed results. At least the sounds is better - which is no small improvement. Sorry for the last dud. That was totally my bad. This week Deeps and I talk games - like F.E.A.R and Rainbow Six (or Rainbow Brite - I can't remember)and we chat about HIMYM, The OC, Scrubs, The Office, Masters of Horror, and what's coming in 2007. Plus I share an exciting update about The Big Red Blog's Decemberstravaganza fundraising campaign for Donors Choose.

This week Derek and I discuss what was going on with our shady Heroes just six months ago, the magic of Wayne Brady, a debate about the allegedly triumphant return of Scrubs, the killer inside everyone in Miami, and of course the dumbing down of our girl Veronica Mars. And I share a restaurant review for a place you'll probably never visit. http://media.libsyn.com/media/alyssaboehm/120306podcast.mp3 Sun, 3 Dec 2006 18:00:00 EST 38:31 television, tv, Dexter, Veronica, Heroes, Scrubs, culture, books Alyssa Boehm I didn't save the cheerleader, but I did save the mashed potatoes. This week I fly solo - like a turkey. If they could fly. Where was I? I talk about The Subject Steve by Sam Lipsyte, what's going on with the Ice Truck Killer on Dexter, the rapist menacing Veronica Mars, and of course what happens when Angsty McBangs saves the cheerleader. Did he save the world? Can he get a haircut now?
