Episode 16: Iron Man 3

Download

A couple of links of interest:

Here is a wiki about the Iron Legion, talking about each suit and the upgrades made to it.

Here is a really interesting blog post about Tony Stark called The Creator vs. The Mechanic, which we sort of veered close to in the episode, but don't actually cover. It's worth reading.

As we have already announced a few other places, the next podcast is NOT going to be about Star Trek: Into Darkness.

Also, a note from Bethany: I apologize for how long this took me to edit.

A note about the Brain and Zombie game we mention in the video:  It costs $.99 to unlock all the levels past the first 9 in the game.  When I went to purchase the levels, it let me get through the purchasing process before crashing on me.  When I open the game since then, it acts like I haven't paid for it, but I got the bill from iTunes.  I've reported the problem but haven't heard anything back yet.  Just something to be aware of before you try to purchase the game.  Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon, as it was very cute and fun to play. - Angie


Here's the link to the Engage show that Jeremy, the cool guy who taught us how to play Ticket to Ride, is doing.

Episode 15: Skyfall

Download

Angie and Bethany discuss Skyfall, James Bond in general, and finish with their Iron Man 3 expectations.

Note from Angie: Since we recorded this, I've watched Quantum of Solace. I didn't like it as much as Casino Royale and Skyfall, but it was still a good film. Feel free to mention it in the comments, you won't spoil me.

Note from Bethany: Sorry about all the background noise on my end, it was unavoidable. I got rid of what I could but, alas, it was sort of a noisy day.

Episode 14: Hansel and Gretel

Download Here

Angie and Bethany talk about the movie Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters and then, towards the end, wander completely off-topic. Who's surprised?

This has been our first Made of Fail Productions podcast! (We TOTALLY forgot to say it at the end because this was such a long one but it will be fixed later this week.)

In case you missed it, be sure to check out that awesome banner Benjamin made for us!

Episode 10 - The Legend of Korra

We had a few Skype hiccups while recording, but I did my best to clean them up.

You can now find us on iTunes!  Just search for Strangers from the Internet.

Huge thanks to Igor for joining us this episode! Check out his photography, his livejournal, and his Urbis Arcana stories - Chicago based fiction with a supernatural twist.

Link to Republic City here. The information on the herd of  sky bison can be found on Air Temple Island, and the stuff about Zuko can be found at Central City Station. The interface is much like Pottermore, where you have to wander around and find stuff to get some of the information, or we would link you directly to it.

The similarities between Amon/Noatak and Korra are not as obvious with Noatak as an adult (though they share many facial expressions) however Noatak's teenager self is dead ringer for her. (Expressions are similar for ease of comparison.)

Angry/concentrating Adult!Amon/Noatak

Angry/Concentrating Teen!Amon/Noatak

Angry/Concentrating Korra

Similarities: Face shape in general, they get the same eyebrows when they frown (and many of their facial expressions are shared), similar nose shape, and young Amon/Noatak has a very similar hairstyle to Korra (it's not obvious in the shot taken but he wears a high pony tail and his sideburns hang loose beside his face).

Cannot find a link to the Avatar the Last Airbender videos mentioned during the podcast, it seems like the offer we were talking about (watch the series, legally, for free) is one of the following: 1 - no longer available; 2- I (Bethany) suck at finding it; 3 - we all collectively hallucinated that. Let us know which in the comments.

Thanks again to Kevin from Made of Fail Productions for joining us and being our first guest!  You can see the many, many projects that keep Kevin busy at http://madeoffail.net


While I was editing the episode, DC announced that they are in fact working on a Justice League film. 

I'm starting to think I dreamed up the Neil Gaiman Loki comment because I can't find it on his tumblr.

And now, for some silliness:

Disappointed in the number of Science Bros gifs available, but this makes me giggle. Found here

This more than made up for it. Much more here and there's even a video here which is worth the watch.

One more, just because I can:

Episode 8 - The Hunger Games

This month we decided to talk about "The Hunger Games" book and movie, and some of the controversies surrounding it when the movie came out. There are spoilers for the movie and book but we do not speak about the subsequent books. Hope you enjoy!

The 25 Most Racist Tweets About "The Hunger Games" Seriously, for your sanity, avoid the comments.

Amandla Stenberg (Rue) on the racist tweets

Just for funzies, there is a new brouhaha about future casting of a character named Finnick and honestly all the actors who are suggested as white alternatives don't fit the physical description nearly as well as Jesse Williams. (Ian Somerhalder is hot like burning but "golden" he is not.) Basically, what those people are saying is that they only are attracted to white guys, so this super handsome guy has to be white.

Episode 7 - Women in Meta Horror

In honor of Women in Horror Month, we discuss the "Buffy vs Dracula" episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Scream, and Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.  Spoilers for all three are discussed, as well as some mild spoilers for the rest of Buffy season 5 and the Scream sequels.
