TWIG Topic Show Episode 79-Scott Pilgrim franchise: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

So you may have heard of this guy…Scott Pilgrim and he may have to defeat some girl’s 7 ex evil boyfriends?
Yeah, you know the one with the kid from Super bad right?
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!

THIS IS SCOTT PILGRIM VS TWIG! THE PODCAST!

Toronto opens its warms wide open to welcome to geek community from all across Canada and the US with TORONTO FAN EXPO 2010!
Movies, video games, anime and so much more available to patrons who showed up and endured lines and more this past weekend in Toronto. The TWIG crew grabbed microphones, cameras and hit the con floor with as much force as they could muster to bring you the con experience that was Fan Expo 2010. In this special event coverage, we have a chance to speak with some people like Jim from Udon Comics and famous director Charles Band from Full Moon entertainment and a special preview of the Tron video games from Propaganda games. However what else happened on the con floor to make the TWIG guys so disappointed in this year’s Fan expo? What almost made Birdman walk off the con floor in frustration and why was the fire marshal called and what one disappointed con goer had to say..
All this and more in this special event coverage inside!

TWIG Nerd News Network Week of August 16 2010: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Its an odd week when Laidman comes back with stories of assless chaps and whips but what do you expect from this Canadian weirdo?
In this episode of the Nerd News network, its a reunion for all 3 Mikes and a Spada as they tackle what happened in the world of Nerdom this week! Spada tells you how to find some really fantastic deals on whatever you need. Laidman shatters Birdman’s hopes for breaking an exclusive Rock band 3 story via a video response to the set list and Blanchard brings us an update to the Michael Bay produced TMNT movie. The TWIG nerds also touch off on how software piracy can yours for only 150 bucks on your PS3 and what the hell is going on with the new Spiderman reboot and who shall be his lady love.
This episode also features some lovely hatemail read by a very bizzare British-ish fellow and an interview with a canadian geek who knows his stuff,Jonathan Llyr formerly of Canada’s own Space Channel and his own Podcast Hardcore Nerdity. Lastly we have a toy review that may have you hunting the racks of Toys R Us or Ebay very soon…
take a listen and stay tuned at the end for a touching story of love at first fist….
