A podcast about EVERYTHING... but mostly the stuff we like. Two friends talking about everything and anything that they’re interested in a that particular moment. From science fiction to sports, movies to music, books to Battlestar Galactica... we try to cover it all in our own, special, idiotic way.

We're back at it with our continuing "deep geek" dive into one of our favorite television shows of all time, Battlestar Galactica. In this podcast, we'll be talking through our favorite episodes from the first half of season two.
We did our best to get a handle on time by only picking three episodes each, but well... you know how these things go. At the very least, we hope that our idiocy is entertaining to you.

Well, we spent so much time talking about this show in our first three episodes that we figured why not embrace our love for it fully and spend some time talking about our favorite episodes from each season. Here, we start out with season 1, which begins after the miniseries/pilot. Each of us came up with five of our favorites and then we discussed them in series order to help keep the overall narrative clear.
Please be warned that if you've never watched the show, this sucker is SPOILER-IFIC! If you don't want anything spoiled, download the episode, binge the entire season, and then come back to listen. You can currently stream Battlestar Galactica on Amazon Prime.

Does this count as a reboot of the episode? Nah. But you best believe that we're trying to cash in on some of that sweet, sweet sequel money that's been flying around over the last 20 years! This is part two of our discussion on movie and television reboots where we finally get around to talking about the things we like and our fawning admiration for things like Battlestar Galactica and Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.
AND ANOTHER THING...

Reboots and remakes seem to be the order of the day for Hollywood these days - whether we're talking about trying to revive the corpse of an 80's TV show or milk some more money out of a franchise by recasting the whole thing and hoping no one will notice (we're looking at you MIB International...). One thing is for sure, the idea of reboots has been around for quite awhile and it's not going anywhere any time soon.
In this episode, we broke our own rules about podcasts and proceeded to ramble on far too long to make the episode digestible in a single sitting, so for the sake of everyone involved, we've decided to break this sucker in two. This episode will cover the beginning of our discussion on reboots in general and then get into why reboots are the worst. We'll be back next week with the second part which will cover the best.
We tried to be relatively spoiler free, but be warned that there could be some mild spoilers - however, since they're all for movies that you really should have seen by now, we don't feel all that bad.
The video Todd mentioned with Kurt Vonnegut explaining the shape of stories can be found here: https://youtu.be/oP3c1h8v2ZQ
Intro music from this episode is "Love It, Leave It" by Mama's Boomshack from their album Speed Of Soul

In our first episode, we discuss what's worst and best about fans in sports, music, TV, and movies.
Our podcast is structured so you can easily listen all in one take or as two separate parts, like a Side A and B of a record. Intros run until about 7:40 where Side A (The Worst) starts. Side B (The Best) begins at approximately 1:01:00 with the outro starting at about 1:44:00.
Todd's One More Thing was the Chernobyl miniseries currently available on HBO. It was written and produced by Craig Mazin, whom you can hear on the Scriptnotes podcast for screenwriters with John August.
Tim's One More Thing was The Biggest Little Farm, a documentary film about a couple who are followed through their successes and failures as they work to develop a sustainable farm on 200 acres outside of Los Angeles.
