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 Episode 77- The Twilight Franchise

Filed under Episodes, Recent Posts, Special Coverage
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

Attention: ADULT CONTENT CONTAINED WITHIN, so it’s NSFW but still kinda funny
In continuation for our month of Digital Playground we welcome contract star Riley Steele into the world of Nerdom. Riley Steele talks with Birdman about her life coming into the adult industry and her experiences with Digital playground but also but her love of a certain survival horror franchise and about her new mainstream movie Piranha 3D. Riley and Birdman chat it up for you and all around have a grand old time talking about porn, video games and some other stuff too….sometimes you have the best job in the world, talking with beautiful girls and playing video games for a living
Life is pretty damned sweet sometimes
