NOTE: This episode contains an important announcement about
the future of Couch Surfing.
Kim Butler, the Queen Bee of
Podcasting (trademark pending) drops in to geek out about Xena,
Scott Pilgrim and to recommend some literature. Yeah, as if anyone
reads anymore... The rest of the show notes are as follows:
00:02:30 - Kim starts things off by talking about this new show
she's watching, you may have heard about it, Xena: Warrior
Princess.
00:07:56 - The Lesbian element that became an influence on that
series and some of its characters gets discussed.
00:12:49 - John can't say enough great things about Cloudy with a
Chance of Meatballs, but he will certainly try. He also enjoyed
Monsters Vs. Aliens, which results in talk of the differences
between Pixar and Dreamworks Animation studios.
00:22:56 - Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is a movie that existed for
all of two seconds at the box office. John managed to see it. Both
the film and the books are discussed, including the important
balance between style and substance.
00:41:41 - Michelle from Indiana writes in with her thoughts on the
big tobacco debate from Episode 35: Where There's Smoke, There's Fire.
00:51:19 - A new listener named Neil sends some praise, but is also
looking for an alternative to iTunes reviews, brought on by a
disdain for Apple Products.
00:57:53 - Film maker, Teague
Chrystie sends in appreciation for John's support of Down In Front, via
Whedonesque. This provides even more fuel to the fire. It's a
wonderful cycle of praise that never ends, except when it does.
01:06:13 - Kim closes out the show by promoting the myriad of
podcasts she's involved in. You may want to write these down.
The following artists can be heard in this episode:
Jason Schwartzman & Metric, Massive Attack, Alison Krauss,
Aberdeen, Anna Faris, Neil Patrick Harris, The Bluetones, Broken
Social Scene, Plumtree, Blood Red Shoes, Beck, The Platters, The

News, Nine Inch Nails, Nathan Johnson and Nigel Godrich & Michael

In a row?
Sorry to hear that this will be the last CS for a while. Hope your absence won\'t be too long but more importantly do you what you enjoy John.
