Opening Night Podcast: Episode 23 - Detention

Thu, 31 Jul 2014 05:26:02 +0900

This week, we talk about Detention, which on Trevor seemed to love in it’s entirety! Apart from that, we also talk about the various bits of news that came out of SDCC last week.

Next week, we’re watching Medicine for Melancholy, which can be found on Netflix.

Also, we’re still trying to get the iTunes/RSS feed issue fixed. Trust me, we’ll let you know when that happens.

Opening Night Podcast: Episode 22 - Lawless

Fri, 25 Jul 2014 02:49:16 +0900

We’re back, baby! No, for real this time. I’m serious. We have a new format, but it’s the same ol’ show.

This week, we talk at length about Lawless. At a certain point in that discussion we turn to spoilers. If you have yet to see Lawless, just skip to about 1:34:40, which is when we stop talking about the flick altogether.

We also talk for a bit about the upcoming SDCC, Star Wars rumors, and other such crap. Next week, we’re going to be watching Detention. It’s not available on Netflix but there are “other” ways to get your hands on it.

An update on all the various BS we've had to deal with over the past few weeks.

Thu, 16 Jan 2014 09:25:00 +0900

So, as you may have noticed, there was a fairly significant gap between episodes. This is because of a variety of reasons. For one, there was the general scheduling issues that naturally arose thanks to my (a.k.a. Trevor) moving back to America and general holiday nonsense. However, we did end up recording an episode or two, but I ran into issues with getting the show uploaded. At some point during the upload process the file would corrupt, making it invalid for submission to iTunes. I am currently in the process of fixing this issue.

Now, onto another issue that literally just came up. Thanks to Google’s, shall me say, lax attitude towards FeedBurner, episodes are disappearing from the RSS Feed and by extension, iTunes. I honestly can’t think of anyway to fix this other than resubmitting those episodes. Frankly, that’d be a huge pain in the ass.

So, for the time being, the show will have to live only on this Tumblr. Once I can find a suitable (and actually maintained) substitute for FeedBurner, the show will be back on iTunes. Sorry for any inconvenience. If you have any questions or just want to yell at me and call me an idiot, direct those queries to @VoltySquirrel on Twitter. Good night.

Opening Night Podcast: Episode 21 - Our Triumphant Return

Thu, 16 Jan 2014 09:03:54 +0900

Note: Sorry about all of the delays. There’s been a whole bunch of technical issues. However, I (hopefully) have had them resolved. Cross those fingers!

In this spur of the moment episode, the dynamic trio talk about a bunch of stuff that I sadly can’t remember. But hey, if you listen you’ll get to hear it. So there’s that. So do it, you.

Also, no image this week. Deal with it.

Opening Night Podcast: Episode 19 - Feet (Reupload)

Fri, 08 Nov 2013 20:55:23 +0900

Note: There’s seems to have been issue with iTunes where the show didn’t appear on there. This may have been due to the title of that episode. So, I have changed the title, which hopefully will fix everything. Fingers crossed.

This week on the show, Vlad spurs on a discussion about horror flicks, Xzy gets all dystopian on us, Trevor revisits some old favorites and then soon after goes on a rant about J.J. Abrams, much is said about The LEGO Movie, we all look forward to the coming award-season movies, and then talk about feet. All that and more can be found on this week’s ONPodcast.

Opening Night Podcast: Episode 13 - Breaking Badcast

Wed, 18 Sep 2013 01:11:40 +0900

This week, Vlad talks up Wes Anderson, Xzy gushes about Dark City, Trevor tries to join the bandwagon by praising the Riddick franchise but fails, and then we finish it all up with two weeks worth of listener question. Oh, and Trevor and Vlad talk about Breaking Bad throughout the entire show while Xzy sits in the corner confused. It’s a rip roaring good time for the whole family!

By the way, for the more spoiler-sensitive listeners, here’s the obligatory disclaimer about Breaking Bad spoilers: there are none. So, you can listen to the episode knowing for sure that we don’t talk about how Walt was revealed to be an alien this week.

Opening Night Podcast: Episode 12- You Don't Have To Pay Babies S***

Fri, 06 Sep 2013 01:38:08 +0900

DISCLAIMER: SO, I’ll be totally honest with you: this episode is pretty terrible. There are a lot of reason for this. For one, Vlad couldn’t be here so a lot of the fire he usually brings to the show is missing. Another problem was that Xzyliac had audio lag, so he felt a little tepid when it came to talking. Both of those combined into a relatively boring show that only really got interesting at question time.

However, the biggest issue is me, for once. I was an idiot and didn’t notice that my mic wasn’t plugged in, so Skype defaulted to my terrible webcam. It sound freaking abysmal and will frequently pop. There’s no way for me to fix this, and for that I am truly sorry. However, I hate to waste the 2 hours that Xzyliac and our guest host Ben devoted to the show, so I’m putting it up. If you can’t find yourself unable to get through the show, blame me and only me. Thank you. -Trevor

Opening Night Podcast: Bonus Episode - The Last of Us Spoilercast

Wed, 21 Aug 2013 19:36:24 +0900

In a decision that certainly does not make Vlad happy, Trevor and Xzyliac decided they wanted to talk about a video game for once. So, they invited friend of the show Maxwell Roahrig to come a talk for an hour and a half about The Last of Us. If you ever wanted to know what these dorks thought about the game, now’s your chance.
