In this August topic show, we bring you our thoughts and feelings on the Scott Pilgrim franchise from someone who got to experience being in the movie first hand (Pierce is in the movie!) and Laidman and Birdman too! Scott Pilgrim has really put the geek spotlight back on Canada as more then just the lair of Smallville and Battlestar galactica but also home to one of the biggest pop culture phenomena in the last few years with Bryan Lee O'Malley's fantastic graphic novel series come to life! The TWIG boys talk about the books and the deeper meaning behind the crazy cast of characters, the film and it's attempt to cram six books into one feature film shorter then "Inception" and lastly the kick ass video game adaption from Ubisoft (This game makes up for Just Dance, BTW) Its time to go out and defeat our own 7 evil ex's and get ready to rock out with Sex-bob-omb!

Yes, you knew it was coming....an inevitable storm that was slowly building till you knew it was coming....yes, we geeks are taking on Stephanie's Meyer's TWILIGHT Franchise. However as take on this pop culture phenomena, we'd like to preface this as we are here to take a serious look as geeks, academics, film critics and even book enthusiasts. Birdman, Double, Ryan and Rebbecca sit down and take an examination into this series of books and movies and fan movement as unbiased as they can and look at where things went right and where things went wrong. This topic took some serious research on the TWIG team and as such this is a LONG episode so be prepared for our discussion as take on the sparkly undead and discuss what could possibly be one of the biggest pop culture equalizers of recent memory... So weather your Team Edward, Team Jacob or even Team Rocket, hopefully you walk with an answer to the question, Does Twilight suck? We also bring up Goku, Doctor Who and the Joker into Twilight's fiction, find out how RIGHT NOW!
