We’re back at this week without our buddy K. It’s just the 3 of us trying to hold it down as best we can. The tone’s a little different, and we somewhat stay on time. Somewhat.
It’s the same show, just with a little less nerd and a little less Nintendo talk.
This week Bill, Chris Dumoulin, and Jim discuss these topics: Middle Earth Collection – Movies that were made into TV series – The Hugo Awards Are Winning!
Middle Earth Collection
This thing is massive and insanely expensive. We would all love to own the leatherbound books and 30+ hours of both movie and bonus content but we got families to feed.
Also, Dominic Monohan needs to quit smoking. It’s bad for his health.

Movies that were made into TV series
Rob Thomas of Veronica Mars fame wants to make the 80s movie The Lost Boys into a TV series. That got us thinking – what other movies were made into TV series and were they any good?
Bill: Hannibal, Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Ash vs. Evil Dead
Dumoulin: Stargate, Buffy
Jim: Highlander
Straight from the 90s.
The Hugo Awards Are Winning!
The annual Hugo awards winners were announced this past week at MidAmeriCon and the winner’s circle gives me hope for a better world. Despite vocal and active opposition, GOOD authors won this year – and they just happen to include a majority of women and people of color.
