The conclusion to this episode leaves brevity behind, as John and Scott talk at length about indie films, british television and superhero icons.

00:02:10 - Scott tried to watch New York, I Love You. He made it about halfway through. It was apparently that bad.

00:20:53 - Scott highly recommends the UK television series Skins, but only after the dreadful first episode.

00:30:04 - John took Scott's advice and watched the pilot for Life Unexpected. He loved the show and the characters, but decided to stop there, opting to quit while ahead.

01:01:50 - John and Scott share their thoughts on the 2-hour Smallville event, Absolute Justice as well as the show in general.

01:28:43 - Scott closes out the show with hopes that in the final season, Clark Kent will become Superman on Smallville.

Part one of this two-part episode finds John and Scott ranting and raving about everything from geek culture, to obsessive behavior, to the joys of Netflix Streaming.

00:03:35 - John feels that Whedonesque is not being realized to its fullest potential, and worries that he's missing out on several news items, at the discretion of some questionable moderation. (UPDATE: The concerns of this issue have since died down considerably, making much of this rant more obsolete than before.)

00:24:11 - Yes, the rant was that long. This leads to another rant, one that's been discussed before. The Cult of Whedon, and how in some cases, the more overzealous contributors can ruin it for other fans. There is also more talk about the ups and downs of Dollhouse.

00:37:24 - Scott and John share their thoughts on Seasons 1 and 2 of Felicia Day's award-winning web series, The Guild. Spoilers abound, so beware. The idea of online gaming and the fantasy genre are also discussed.

00:50:57 - When writing creepy, stalker humor, how far is too far?

01:00:52 - Felicia Day has a Celebrity Music Playlist on Canadian iTunes, proving once again that Canada rocks!

01:04:24 - Scott checked out Big Fan through Netflix Watch Instantly. The Wrestler and Patton Oswalt's star power are also mentioned.

01:15:32 - Scott also watched the off-the-wall "comedy", Good Dick.

01:23:02 - Finally, Scott closes out the show by discussing the film, World's Greatest Dad.
