Episode 30: We Want to Kiss All of the Boys

Posted by retcast on 26th March 2009

Another one that’s a little off the rails, but we do start with a general focus. It doesn’t stay on track, but it certainly tries to be as comprehensible as possible… (though I think it fails pretty miserably)

Dman, one of the primary organizers of the Rooster Teeth Podcast Network, and cohost of Cockbite Radio, joins us to discuss the future of RTPN, along with countless of other random bits of discussion. Be sure to check out his shows, and tune into the RTPN come April 5th for the Network’s triumphant return, and hopefully longlasting glory.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments in general, please email us at retcast@gmail.com; you can also send a message there if you’re at all interested in being on the show. You should also come participate on the forums, as a lot of planning and discussion goes on over there.

Thanks for listening!

Episode 29: Speaking of…

Posted by retcast on 19th March 2009

Off the rails for this one. We’re in a dry period, lacking in solid topics, so we kind of just discussed whatever we could find to talk about. Ridiculously entertaining though, I promise.

Michael finally gets on the show, after waiting almost two months. He was supposed to be on the week of Retcast’s death, back in January… Needless to say, we blame it on him, and he’ll never be on again. Mars broke the show, despite getting involved in some intriguing discussions about various movies and tv shows.

We would very much appreciate emails, so send us some love if you have questions, comments,  or suggestions. You could also let us know, via email, if you want to be on the show; we love new guests (almost as much as we love donations).

Thanks for listening!

Episode 28: Under the Hood

Posted by retcast on 12th March 2009

That time has come. The world has been waiting twenty-five years for an event like this, and it is finally upon us. Watchmen, arguably the greatest graphic novel of all time, and one of the best selling novels ever, has finally become a movie. To live up to our subtitle, Retcast devotes an entire episode to quite possibly the biggest comic book movie event we will live to experience.

Friends of the show Ryan and Brian join Billy and Brandon in the discussion, with a little fanboy nitpicking, but they manage to outline some of their favourite moments in both the book and the movie. By the way, there are spoilers. If you have not seen the movie, or read the book, you have no business listening to this episode.

Please feel free to email us if you have any comments on what was said, or you have any questions or suggestions for the show in general. You can also donate, if you are feeling generous; it’s not cheap to bring this much awesome to your ears on a weekly basis.

Thanks for listening!

Episode 27: We Won’t Buy You Roses

Posted by retcast on 4th March 2009

This episode is devoted to the awesomeness that is Name of the Wind. Our great friend Jedi Poet, the primary force behind bringing this book to our attention, joins us once again to geek out over this amazing book. Listen to us rant, rave, and swoon over anything and everything we think of in connection to this brilliant novel.

Spoilers abound, by the way. While I won’t tell you not to listen to the episode if you haven’t read the book, I will suggest that you will certainly get a whole lot more out of it if you have. That said, if you don’t mind having particular plot points revealed, I’m sure you’ll be quite entertained.

If you have anything at all you wish to share with us, please email us at retcast@gmail.com, whether you have comments, questions, suggestions, or an interest in appearing on the show. You can also donate via PayPal, if you feel generous. As a final note, I suggest you go buy the book, if you don’t own it already.
