Echo Screen Live #0 (4/7/2011)

What did you like? Anything that bugged you? Let us know your thoughts in the comments so we can build a better show.
Echo Screen #15: Fanboyism Defined
You know them. You (unfortunately) read what they have to say on your favorite blogs, forums, and video sites all over the internet. And you might even be one of them, you pathetic jerk you.
They're called fanboys, and today on the Echo Screen the Clan of the Gray Wolf takes a closer look into who these people are, what makes them tick, and some of the flame wars of years gone by. As the guys struggle to define fanboyism, they stumble on much deeper questions about what makes us all latch on to the things we do in life. Also there are jokes about boobs, so there's something for everybody.

Echo Screen #14: Video Game Remakes
Completing the geek holy trinity of remakes, the Clan of the Gray Wolf tackles video games. But things take on a very different tone than the two proceeding podcasts as the guys find themselves consumed by a more theoretical discussion about video games in general. Are videogame remakes anywhere near the same as those from film and television? This and a rare glimpse into the childhood of Boomer today on the Echo Screen!

0:00 - Intro (Remakes, Lazy Ports, & Throwbacks)
18:20 - Lazy Ports

Echo Screen #13: TV Remakes
In part 2 of a series on remakes in popular media, the guys take some time to ponder the TV show updates they'd most like to see... in addition to celebrating the best and painfully recalling the worst that have already been made. Why was Battlestar Ga-remake-tica so popular? Should they ever revamp Seinfeld? And what series made Boomer's massive "most wanted remakes" list? Sit down and grab your TV dinner while the Clan of the Gray Wolf tackles television remakes!
In this episode:
0:00 - Intro & Why so many TV shows are being remade
12:00 - Successful remakes
25:00 - Not so successful remakes
32:00 - Remakes we'd like to see
41:30 - Remakes we don't want to see

Echo Screen #12: Movie Remakes
Why can't they just leave well enough alone? TMNT, The Karate Kid, The A-Team... they've all been made into movies and they're trying to take our money to see them... again! Today the Clan of the Gray Wolf looks at the crappy movies that have been remade, the crappy movies that are going to be remade, and the awesome movies that no one should ever touch... ever! You hear me George Lucas?!? Why are these movies made? Will they ever stop? Could we resist the temptation to see Scarlett Johansson as Cheetarah? Find out on this episode of the Echo Screen!
