Episode 47 – Anne’s Rule of Gadget Porn

What this episode covers

Bill’s got a migraine and the result is a (slightly) quieter podcast than usual this week. That doesn’t keep us from talking about movie novelizations (The Goonies in particular), the appeal of strap-ons and of breastmilk, “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship“, The Price of Salt, the latest run of Stumptown, Game Center CX and places in Portland that serve great brisket, poutine and french onion soup. Anne then asks listeners for recommendations about your favorite Western films (a chart of the films that’ve been recommended can be found here), and then it’s on to The Geek Week in Review: an in-depth analysis about Sony’s decade-long decline, the return of Iron Chef, the trailer for Spielberg’s Lincoln, Amanda Palmer’s call for volunteer musicians, Brad Shoemaker’s entry into The Mile High Club and the reveal of the Nintendo Wii-U. Intro: Iron Chef intro music (by way of Backdraft) – Hans Zimmer (with Chairman Kaga on yellow bell pepper) Break: I’ll Have Somebody Else (As Soon As You’re Gone ) – Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys Outro: A Fistful of Rupees – Bobby Roberts and Koji Kondo
