Read, Watch, Play! Episode two: Madly in love with Mad Max

-
Hey Guys!

 Here it is, episode two of Read, watch, play! Available now on iTunes and Podomatic!

Just Stu and lil ol' me this week as Billy and Chris had 'real life responsibilities'.Pffffffft.

As the title suggests we talk all about Mad Max Road Fury. And by talk I actually mean gush. Like all over the place. Repeatedly. We really, really, really really, really dig this film. Plus Stu
squeezes in some quick reviews of Tommorrowland and Women in Gold and I blab about comics for a bit. In case you haven't picked it up, this is very much a 'watch' heavy episode.

If that wasn't enough to have you salivating and rushing to download the podcast then surely this will: WE HAVE ANOTHER COMPETITION!!!!! Yay Free stuff!!! obviously you have to listen to the podcast to find out how to enter.

Like last episode we say shit a few more times and there is a bit of innuendo  (Stu and I were alone in a room together, what were you expecting!??!?) so just an FYI. However unlike last time Itunes hasn't labelled it 'explicit' So it probably means it's alight I guess. I mean why would Itunes lie to you?!?!

And yes I am well aware that last week we said the next Podcast would be Witcher centric but given how comprehensive Chris' Witcher 3 review was ( check it out here) we kind of felt everything had been covered. Also Chris insists that I have to wear pants when we record the podcast and I wasn't cool with that.

Finally, before I leave you I should clarify the comic I refer to as 'World war hulks' near the end of the Podcast is actually 'Battleworld: Planet Hulk'.

Anyways get listening!

    I'm glad there has been a quick turnaround for the second episode. For my taste i felt there was too much talk about Mad Max: Fury Road. I feel you could of gone into more about the history of the films and what they meant to Australia rather than giving away most of the movie. A twenty minute review? Of course you are going to give away spoilers and plus movie reviews are a dime a dozen now.

    By all means say if you liked it or disliked, yet get it over quickly and move on.

    I liked the show better when it moved on to comics and dungeons and dragons. I felt the flow was a lot better and was the most interesting part of the show.

    Thanks so much for the feedback! Yeah admittedly we got a bit self indulgent with the Mad Max banter. Will try to cover a broader variety of topics going forward and hopefully more of us Geek of Oz folks are free to record future episodes. Admittedly it's always hard to cover too much ground with just Stu and myself especially given Stu's wheel house is mainly film. That said you feedback is duly noted and we really appreciate you helping us shape the show :)

Home Again review

Reese Witherspoon is having a moment and it’s a pleasure to see. It is so satisfying to witness that the actress who gave us the utterly original and terrifying, Tracy Flick, has still so many more surprises for us. That super sharp, full of intensity, scarily Machiavellian high-school girl (perhaps sociopath) promised an actress who does not hold back. Reese commits fully and with real vigour and we have seen this over and over again in roles like Legally Blonde  (the original is still so fun), Walk the line , Vanity Fair and more. Recently the critically-acclaimed and Emmy award winning TV series Big Little Lies which is sensational, as well as her role in it. In Home Again Reese has returned to the romantic comedy genre which she has championed in her career many times and sadly, to some questionable results. I know Sweet Home Alabama  is a favourite among many but sadly it did not ignite me. I am quite fond of Just Like heaven  with Mark Ruffalo (don’t judge) which I

Today I have the pleasure of speaking to writer Tom Taylor and artist James Brouwer, creators of my favourite book of recent time , The Deep: Here be Dragons.  In case you haven't heard, The Deep: Here be Dragons is the Aurealis award winning graphic novel from Aussie duo, Tom Taylor and James Brouwer, and the patriotic streak doesn't end there. This book is beautifully presented by the good folks at the independent Aussie comics company, Gestalt. Follow on after the jump and not only will you get an interview with some of Australia's best and brightest but you will get a look at some interior art and an EXCLUSIVE look at an all new piece of art from the forthcoming VOLUME 2, The Vanishing Island. Intriguing?
