Scott Carelli stops by to partake in a chat about Possession, Mystery Team and My Bloody Valentine 3D. This episode is so massive, it had to be broken up into three sections!

00:02:57 - Now that John has left Milk Carton TV, he and Scott briefly discuss a new podcast they're involved in, "Movie Night with Geekshow". This leads to talk of really bad films and the possible value in trying to review them as such.
00:08:42 - John gives his thoughts on the supernatural drama Possession, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Lee Pace. The film's rocky distribution history is also discussed, as well as comparisons between the theatrical poster and the DVD box art.
00:21:17 - We go absolutely silly over Mystery Team, the first feature film from Derrick Comedy.
00:42:20 - Unfortunately, John also watched the remake of My Bloody Valentine. The greatness of Tom Atkins and Jensen Ackles aside, most of what gets discussed here is the film's distracting, TV-like picture quality. Scott also brings up the merits of 3D with genre films like this.
00:48:25 - The works of Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier are discussed, closing out the episode as John argues in favor of the original Halloween III: Season Of The Witch.

The following artists can be heard in this episode:

The Mystery Team, Childish Bambino (Donald Glover), Michael Jackson, Andreas Alfredsson & Christian Sandquist & The Stiff Twins, Stars, Dario Marianelli, Jamin Winans, The Ting Tings, Kasabian, Kate Nash, Angels & Airwaves, A Perfect Circle, John Carpenter & Alan Howarth and Donovan.

Kevin Bachelder joins the podcast to discuss "Haunted", the tenth episode from season one of Dollhouse. A Woman of high society has recently died, and Adelle DeWitt uses the resources of the Dollhouse to visit one last time. Uploading her friend's persona and memories into Echo, the dead Woman tells Adelle that she suspects foul play, and must attend her own funeral to find out who murdered her and why. Meanwhile, Topher borrows Sierra for a special, personal assignment and Paul runs Mellie's prints via his former partner at the FBI, with surprising results.

Please join Kevin and I as we discuss life after death, FBI security (or lack there of), horses, what happens when your B-plot is more entertaining than your main storyline and how Dollhouse is sometimes a lot like Quantum Leap. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the episode on your DVD.

Scott Carelli returns to talk comics, get political and answer listener mail.

00:01:57 - We discuss the idea of smoking in bars, and those who would prefer shipping smokers off to a leper colony, and then setting the colony on fire.

00:14:29 - Common sense does not prevail, causing John to lose a friend in the Geek Community. Scott relates to the situation with a story about the polarizing power of writer, J. Michael Straczynski.

00:19:34 - Can you recognize something as bad and still like it, or vice versa? When does that become too personal?

00:31:25 - John makes a joking reference to Gore Verbinski's American remake of The Ring. This results in discussion about the works of Ehren Kruger and the development of Scream 4.

00:34:32 - We cover the good, the bad and the ugly that is three seasons of AMC's, Breaking Bad. We also show some love for Rian Johnson.

00:45:28 - Catching up on listener mail, our good friend Marshal talks the Ginger Snaps trilogy, Slither and The Descent.

00:55:43 - Longtime fan Brian sends in his first letter, discussing The Dark Knight's snub from the Oscars, as well as some less than glowing opinions on the works of Joss Whedon. We share our favorite seasons and episodes of Angel, and talk about Joss making The Avengers.

01:11:57 - Hayden asks about John's potential participation in the returning audio series, Geek By Night. Consulting the magic 8-ball, (SPOILER ALERT!) "Don't count on it".

01:15:53 - Jason closes out the emails and the show by thanking us for previously mentioning Spaced on Hulu.

The following artists can be heard in this episode:

David Klein & Scott Schiaffo, The Dandy Warhols, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Solomon Burke & The Blind Boys Of Alabama, BoDeans, The House Of Love, Stockton, The Submarines, SoHo, TV On The Radio, Portishead, Star Ghost Dog, She Wants Revenge, Lush, Heavens, Say Hi To Your Mom, David Bowie and Faithless.

Kim Butler and Andrew Ball drop by the podcast (hopefully more appearances to follow) to talk about episode nine from season one of Dollhouse, "A Spy In The House Of Love". Adelle steps out for a bit, leaving Dominic in charge. While the boss lady is away, Topher discovers that a potential spy has infiltrated the Dollhouse. Sierra is programmed and sent on a mission to find the mole, but Echo comes up with her own idea to be imprinted with interrrogation skills to learn the truth from within. Meanwhile, Agent Ballard discovers Mellie's terrible secret and Adelle is hiding a secret of her own, and it concerns Victor!

Please join Kim, Andrew and I as we cover a wide range of topics including blatant product placement, the difference between show content and the quality of that content, Topher's side project known as "The Ravehouse" and comparisons to how this episode is a lot like Quentin Tarantino's 1992 crime film, Reservoir Dogs (you can read my essay on the subject here). Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the episode on your DVD.
