Great show – thanks.
One of the nice things about the MS-eksperience is the friendly, non-hostile tone on thise comment sections and on the forums. (Nice job moderaters)
And Im not Easten european – thank you very much. Im Scandinavian. And in Scandinavia bad english skills has you!
PS. Matthew if I am ever to dissect a brain, I will be sure to listen to MSP while doing so.
PPS. As the boy on the picture I also enyou listening to podcasts while sleeping – makes me dream all sort of crazy s#!t about 3/4 Orcs and stuff.
Right, sorry, I consider everything east of Portugal eastern europe.
Well…. I guess it is :)
Btw. Thx for getting mé into Hellboy and the spinnoffs.
Interesting discussion regarding “Old Boy”. I have only seen the movie and now wonder how Spike Lee will be able to modernize this story considering the nature and reveal driving the plot.
Re; The Zeus question: http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0000553/
– Anthony Quinn played Zeus in what looks to be the Sorbo Hercules series.
– John Rhys-Davies had a turn as Zeus. I think in the Vanna White movie.
– Olivier was Zeus in the first Clash of the Titans.
– I MUST SEE GODS BEHAVING BADLY! Walken as Zeus will kick ASS!
While I am not sure if anyone will see this as I just got a chance to finish listening to the podcast today and this article post is already on page 3 of the website. Enjoyable show as usual. I just felt I had to throw my suggest that after reviewing I, Vampire and iZombie Matthew should next review the Darkstorm Studios comic “I, Frankenstein” that Aaron Eckhart is staring in the movie adaptation.
Of course with all the “I”, comics he might decide to pen his own memoir “I, Matthew” the tell-all tale of his behind the scenes adventures at Major Spoilers, call centers and Gatekeeper Hobbies Huntoon and Gage Topeka Kansas.
