TV Ate My Dinner

Greg returns as TVAMD project observer while Sean and Lynn discuss the gothic nuances of the Moth Diaries. There is also some discussion of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, Brave, 7 psychopaths and other stuff.

Sean, Andrew and Lynn come down from talking about the Hobbit by randomly assaulting movies like the Dark Knight Rises, Prometheus, Total Recall and Wrath of the Titans. There's also some polite discussion about Dredd.

Sean, Lynn and Andrew continue to talk about the Hobbit, Star Wars, and eventually Lord of the Rings versus Star Wars in an ongoing effort to examine what it takes to make a lasting mythology. Also there is some comparison of George Lucas and Joss Whedon, since we're just chucking stuff into the conversation randomly.

Sean, Lynn and Andrew talk about the Hobbit at last. From the revelatory 48 frames per second to the creative task of turning one book into three epic movies, how well does the Hobbit match up to the novel and how well does it tie in to the Lord of the Rings films?

Sean and Andrew talk about the past and future of Star Wars, specifically in regard to the treasury of story material that's been developed for the Expanded Universe of Star Wars novels and comics. Will Episode VII embrace that wealth of stories or erase them?

Sean and Andrew bring in the first show of 2013 with talk about the failed apocalypse, zombie doomsday preppers, what the deal is with Andrea in The Walking Dead, Django Unchained, and, not surprisingly, new developments with the upcoming Star Wars movie.

TVAMD Presents an Audio Adventure that pays homage to the scifi novels of the 60's and the radio serials of yesteryear. In this fourth installment of the Rocky Montana adventure, Rocky is brought before the Queen of Space after becoming a prisoner of the Galactic Armada. Now they want to send him on a secret mission to fight the evil Morlaks. But the Queen has other plans for Rocky first... Writte...

While doing end of the year cleaning we found this never before released episode of TVAMD. It's a follow-up to Sean, Lynn and Gary's coverage of Friday the 13th and Cabin in the Woods that got lost in the shuffle during the Disney Star Wars hullaballoo. In this brief addendum they discuss Dr. Who, Cabin in the Woods, and the (then) impending apocalypse. Enjoy one last TVAMD in 2012 and we'll see y...

There are actually those who don't know VRON. For those I present this flashback of her origin (which I myself had to poke around a bit to find). This is me and Brooks in our first encounter with my robot companion.

Sean and VRON present Season's Greetings to all the friends of TV Ate My Dinner. You're welcome, world.

Sean, Greg, Brooks and Andrew conclude their discussion of the new Disney Star Wars. With Disney in possession of Star Wars and Marvel, could we see the return of the Hoojibs? Or Jaxxon? Could there be a Muppet Star Wars in our future? There's no end to the things we can make up on this subject.

THE FOLLOWING IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY... Did I ever tell you about the time I died? Yeah, probably not. That's a good setup for a story though, right? I have told this story before. For the sake of those involved I omitted some of the more bizarre elements, but as the years have gone by I have come to realize that the full details must be made known. What if the unexplained incident that occurred...

Sean, Greg, Brooks and Andrew return to continue their discussion of the Disney Star Wars purchase. What could this mean for Indiana Jones? Could an Indy reboot be in our future? And what a Star Wars theme park? Could EPCOT become Star Wars Land? And what's up with Netflix? Why is everything always on Very Long Wait now? 

If you ever wondered what it would take to bring Brooks out of retirement, this is it. Sean, Brooks, Greg and Andrew convene for an emergency session of TVAMD to talk about the Earth-shattering announcement that Disney purchased Star Wars. What does it mean? Who would direct Episode VII? How do we get Nathan Fillion in it? Part 1 just barely scratches the surface, folks...

Sean, Lynn and Gary complete their discussion of Friday the 13th.

In honor of Halloween, Sean, Lynn and Gary  begin their retrospective of the Friday the 13th series. They also dedicate some discussion to The House at the End of the Street, Trick 'r Treat, Trick or Treat, Scream, and The Cabin in the Woods.

Sean, Greg and Lynn talk about the future in all its many forms. From the future of the past once represented in EPCOT center and the time traveling adventures of Dr. Who to our own uncertain futures, this is another one of those talkie walkie timey wimey kinda episodes.

Sean, Greg and Lynn talk about the awesomeness of Joss Whedon and his collaborative effort with Drew Goddard, Cabin in the Woods! Don't listen if you're spoiler sensitive, because this episode is practically a DVD commentary.

Sean, Greg and Gary talk about what makes a good superhero movie: Why weren't audiences warm to the new Spider-man? What lessons is Zach Snyder taking from Superman Returns while making Man of Steel? Why is Marvel's marketing strategy so effective compared to DC's? How come they can make Iron Man a movie superstar but not Green Lantern? They also find a way to blame James Cameron for John Carter,...

Sean, Greg and Gary return to finish their discussion of the ALIEN films, which unfortunately includes Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection. They discuss how Alien 3 derailed the ALIENS legacya and what Alien: Resurrection did to try to make up for it. Also how Joss Whedon's involvement in the latter film led him to develop the concept of Firefly.

Sean, Greg and Gary talk about the ALIENS franchise, plus a little talk about The Expendables 2 and this year's DragonCon.

Sean, Lynn, Gary and Greg take a few minutes to speculate about the upcoming Hobbit movies, then a lot more minutes talking about other stuff. There's some Dolph Lundgren breaking news, even spottier speculation about the new Highlander remake, sports and Candy. And a little VRON for good measure.

Sean, Greg, Lynn and Gary talk about "The Dark Knight Rises" (with a little help fromm VRON).  The opening clip is a spoof from Conan O'Brien, by the way. In case you were wondering.

Sean and Lynn talk about summer movies like "Dark Shadows", "Men in Black 3",the upcoming "Total Recall" remake,"The Amazing Spider-man", "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter", "Battleship", "Ted", and "Brave". Plus they discuss the documentary "Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles", paranormal shows like "Destination Truth" and "Ghost Hunters".

Greg and Sean talk about the Avengers, what went wrong with the Green Lantern movie, the People vs. George Lucas, and the new Aaron Sorkin drama, The Newsroom.
