Nope, you are not dreaming. Its not an Extra. Its not a Noms show. Its an actual, full length honest to goodness real episode! Buddy is back and he is in rare form because he is a fan of our Nexus subject. We have the segments you have missed with “Drop the Beat” and “Between the Covers”. Plus, the odd auditory surprise that makes a full-fledged show a thing of joy and embarrassment for the hosts of, and perhaps the listeners of, EOL. Welcome back everyone!

We got in some feedback about the 2013 “Summer of Flavor”. You will hear an iReport by Thomas. And

here’s an email from Maurene

“Hi Guys, i’ve tried the garlic parm potato chips, and also the chicken and waffle ones. The garlic parm one’s i loved. The chicken and waffles were god awful!!!! They made me think of the McGriddle breakfast sandwiches that McDonalds has. Which, i might add i hated also, but i digress, I let my brother-in-law try them also and he hated those potato chips also, so out in the garbage they went. Another one that was god awful was the tomato basil ones. I threw those out too.
Yucky!!!! Have a great week.”

Here’s another from the Mailbag…

“OK the ear worms from this show could possibly allow me to break out of the Funny Farm with their reverse effects. Thanks a lot.
As for vaginal fantasy, uh, yeah. Let’s see if I can tie this into Game of Thrones. Of course I can. The Asha Grayjob story line in the books is exactly this genre. She’s my favorite character in the entire book series.
I love the “…in Death” series but frankly, the sex scenes are a bit cut and paste. I do love the universe in those books. I think you can do sex scenes without the words throb, pulse or even tubescence.
As for noms, I did try the Lay’s chips, all 3 flavors, recently. The chicken and waffles were just scary. Too much maple syrupy essence. The other two were fine, if not a tad dry on the garlic cheese bread.
I’m now into popsicles. Dryers, Edies Guest, some odd store brands. The favorites in House Stanley are grapefruit, pomegranate, lemonade and of course the all time favorite, lime.
Jenine Stanley”

Previous Homework: Tell us tales of toast
French toast. Nuff said!
New homework: Fries! With chilly or cheese, or bacon, or … mayonnaise? How do you like your fries, and what’s the strangest thing you’ve ever put on them?
Buddy recommends Garbage Fries

While not really fries, Ranger adores Hash browns all the way from Waffle House

Some say summer is a time for travel. Some say summer is a time for camping. Fans of EOL know that we recommend traveling to the couch and camping out there for days with Geeky TV and movies! In this extra, Ranger, Byron and Rodney offer some recommendations on possible summer binge viewing. Oh, and the Spheres help Ranger make a musical comment about one of the summer’s hottest movies. Now nab a comfy chair, get your imported from Japan body pillow with a ‘Dead or Alive’ fighter on it or just crawl on to your futon under a great big cealing fan. You have lots of homework to do this summer!

San Diego… it’s got a valley, mountains and a beach. And now, it’s had Noms. By popular demand, or so it seems according to your comments on Twitter, we’ve got a new bag of things to try for your enjoyment, though not ours by any means. But that wasn’t enough to be an Extra. Oh no! We talk about movies and television too. It’s a three act play and it all happened in San Diego.

Movie Nachos Are Never Worth The Money:

Rockstar and Ranger saw a movie. Not just any movie. It was a Homework Assignment Book To Film kind of movie. And it was “Divergent”. Their review is spoiler free, for a change, so hear what they had to say about Tris and her Faction Friends. While you wait, check out the official trailer.

Gareth Speaks:

One of Ranger’s Brit Jedi Sci Fi masters got cornered and forced, okay not really, to stop talking about the company he works for and discuss crap like television you should be watching.

Somehow that Byron guy found his way past the Spheres, through the HQ and he even strapped himself into the 3rd Chair without any of us noticing. Well fine then, we’ll just have to punish him for being filthy. No wait, we’ll just do a segment on filthy songs and make him comment on them instead. All that, along with new homework, is awaiting you in this fun and food filled episode of “End of Line”.

Abomination:

Disney wants to ruin Ranger’s 90s classic with a “Rocketeer” reboot

Remember Harmony Gold? No, no one really does. But many remember “Robotech”. So let’s have a live action version of that…

Byron makes the painful admission that he’s more of a sci-fi than a fantasy fan, followed by the Rockstar speaking heresy about The Lord of The Rings. This sparks a conversation about how to begin reading fantasy without being overwhelmed. Some books that were mentioned are:
Pawn of Prophecy: The Belgariad Book 1, David Eddings

The triple decker sandwich cookie of geek podcasting has returned with something old, something new and something TARDIS Blue in what, for us, is a shorter than the usual full length episode running time. No, we aren’t kidding. Download them all and check us on that just to be sure. No, really. Like pokemon, you gotta collect them all. Don’t forget to let us know what you think of the new homework, the new segment that debuts this show and what oddities we may have missed along the way!

Drop The Beat!

Here’s the deal, the crew will focus on various aspects of music in this new segment. Remember, there is no accounting for taste. Yet we will all try and bedazzle with suggestions on each of the episode topics. First up, albums that stand the test of time and inspire us to no end.

For the Rockstar, Dio “Last In Line”

She also can’t help to mention that you need to hear Dream Theater’s “Images & Words”

Ranger notes that Prodigy’s “Fat of the Land” still holds up today.

Mr. Reeves unknowingly chose one of Ranger’s favorite bands ever with ELO’s “Out of the Blue”.

Here’s that paragon of truth Wiki page for the album

And check out this amazing ELO retrospective from Team FM.
Brian’s in depth look is great for any fan of the band!

We are so jazzed for Disney’s new Star Wars.. IF! John Williams is on board. But is he?

In The Nexus: O R E O!

Ranger takes us down the strange and delicious path of the rare and limited edition version of “Milk’s favorite cookie”.

A Dubble Stuff and a regular OREO met and made a Mega Stuffed cookie baby

How about a nice Lemon Twist?

It’s a Trick or Treat, depending on who you are, with the Candy Corn OREO

Santa just loves the Candy Cane holiday edition

It’s the Big Mac of cookies, Mint Fudge Triple Decker

Now that’s a unique way to split an OREO

Oh, erp, thanks to Tim Hornik for this comment in regards to an earlier show

“EOL Crew,
With all of your talk about bacon, I have no clue how you can skip over one very important food group:
GelatinousMeat, aka SPiced hAM.
This product provides the most convenient way to enjoy a five star meal following the Zombie apocalypse, or after training for the invasion after using such Apps like Zombie Run and Where’s my Ducky. In the event the Zombies fail to show up, you will at least have a stockpile of perfectly good meat for months to come.
Besides, what other pre-cooked meat product comes in flavors such as:
– Classic
– Low Sodium
– Bacon
– Smoked
– Hot and Spicy
– Jalapeños
– Lite
– Cheese
– Turkey
This is the perfect food, having been featured in such music videos like: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2966075/weird_al_yankovics_spam_music_video/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anwy2MPT5RE
And many more you can enjoy by visiting the SPAM Mecca in Austin, MN. Hmmmm, MN really sounds closely like mmmmmm, the same sound one emits after enjoying SPAM. Can you just imagine mowing down on Twinkies and SPAM sandwich, or SPAM with DQ soft were.”

Um, no. No we can’t.

New Homework: What’s your take on the new lay’s flavors?

Whatcha Been Consumin’?

Ranger has been catching up on his HBO with Girls and Game of Thrones on HBO

Introduction

Yes, we know we are slacking. No, we really are busy. And, yeah, we haven’t forgotten our sworn duties, nor our Wonder Twin powers that compel us to just let our “geek flags fly!”. Blame real life, blame work and most of all “Blame Canada”. Oh great, now we have to go watch that song on YouTube. So easily distracted. Also, we hope this EOL Extra will be distracting enough until we release Episode 10. If not, then look behind you… Quick! … Ahem, that didn’t work either huh? Oh well, enjoy the Extra then.

Introductions

The holidays for the EOL crew aren’t over yet and neither are they over for the 3^rd chair. This episode we are joined by a man who knows his bad TV and that kind of geek cred gives Rodney Edgar from the Tech Access Weekly podcast, the ability to join us in our discussion of … bad TV!

Abomination

Its never difficult for us to find these stories, sadly. Here are the ones that caught our ear this month.

Eddie Murphy will be Hong Kong Phooey in new live action CGI movie

Remakes of the films of Akira Kurosawa

Check out the Wikipedia entry on Akira Kurosawa for a list describing many of his  films and their influences on other Hollywood blockbusters

The Rockstar mentioned the bots and Japanese monster films. Be sure to visit the official MST3K site to learn more about Tom Servo and perhaps even Evil Crow?

Buy the animated classic “Akira” on Blu Ray

You can pick up Mr. Reeve’s take on a Philip K. Dick novel in the movie adaptation of “A Scanner Darkly”

And Ranger mentioned Laura Petty in “Tank Girl”

We also discussed how well the actors captured their comic counterpart in the recent “X Men First Class”

And you can compare it to the FOX 90’s X Men Animated series via Netflix

In The Nexus: Bad TV

Did you think we were done discussing bad TV in our “Abomination” section? Oh no! We use the entire segment of “In The Nexus” to pay homage to the idiot box.

The color TV turns 60

The history of NBC’s Must See TV

Ranger mentioned the portable SEGA Game Gear console from the 90s. You can learn all about this system that weighed more than a brick with its multiple batteries.

We talked about how TV can look dated quickly and Ranger offers the first season of FOX’s “24” via Netflix as an example. Check it out to see CTU with computers from a decade ago.

The rockstar rants about today’s juvenile comedic attempts, inspired by this article on how Today’s new Sitcoms are Reruns

Ranger also suggested that the NBC 90’s hit “Friends” is another one of those shows that has not aged well.

We mention “Seinfeld” three times in twenty minutes. Buy the first two seasons of Seinfeld on Amazon and see why we talked about the show so often.

Watch the wonderful social commentary from Matt and Trey on Facebook from the South Park episode “You Have 0 Friends” from the South Park Studios site.

The history of NBC’s “Must See” TV

Rodney pines for the good old days as he watches “Cheers” on Netflix

He also mentions “mad About You” and “Caroline in the City”

Ranger professes his love of Tina Fey and says you should watch “30 Rock” on Netflix

Also he prefers the UK version of “The Office which you can find on Netflix here

The UK version of “Being Human” is far better than the recent US attempt as well. This too is on Netflix

Rodney and Ranger also say that you should only watch the UK version of “Coupling” and forget that NBC ever tried to force a US version on the viewing public with only a four episode run

Relive the 80’s with this look back at Courtney Cox before “Friends” in the amazing production values of “Misfits of Science”

Rodney proclaims to Ranger that he is missing out on the greatness that is “Rip Tide”

Rodney also liked “the monkey” in “BJ and the Bear”  

Whereas Ranger found that the “Sherif Lobo” spinoff was far more entertaining

Catch Gil and Erin in the NBC Sci Fi classic “Buck Rogers” on Netflix

“Knight Rider” is a must watch for any geek and Netflix has you covered

Buy “Dallas” seasons one and two

Or “Knots Landing” season one

Or! “Dynasty” seasons one and two on Amazon

Other CBS Friday night fare included “Falcon Crest”

And who could forget the General lee in “The Dukes of Hazard”

proof that Ranger was not joking about the existence of the NBC 70’s show “Monster Squad”

Further still, here is the opening to “Quark” that took a loving but synical embrace to Classic Trek

Purchase “Quark: The Complete Series” from Amazon

You can also find “Street Hawk” on Amazon for your very own

All of this talk leads us into this article about trends we are tired of on TV

Do you remember “Cleopatra 2525”? “Vanishing Sun”? They, like Kevin Sorbo’s “Hercules”, were all members of the 90’s “Universal Action Pack” line of weekly syndication shows

Relive the Warrior Princess’s six seasons in this Xena box set from Amazon

SpongeBob is to blame for short attention spans in children.

Buy the first two seasons of “TJ Hooker” and learn how to hang on to the hood of a car TJ style

Purchase “The Fall Guy” season one from Amazon

Ranger notes that “Airwolf” is awesome

while Rodney claims that you can’t discount the magic of Dana Carvey in the ABC “Blue Thunder” TV series

George Klunie fans must have “The Facts of Life” for his early formative works

Welcome back to this freezer burned Thanksgiving leftover edition of the show. To be honest, we had a ton of sound issues and we enlisted Santa’s elves for some audio outsourcing to get this one together. The short story is that the magic in that old hat we found left behind by those messy elves worked and we have a show for you. the problem is that we got stuck with the elves expenses. Man can they ever trash a hotel room.

We welcome Joshua Loya, ServantWarrior to the 3^rd chair this month and he, like all of you, is a listener of the program. Remember, if you think you have the Geek Cred, you can submit an iReport or drop us a line at resources@serotalk.com to tell us that you would like to be in the 3^rd chair.
