Podcast Episode 45

Thor 45: Captain Haddock's drunken bar brawl against Andy Serkis

official site still waiting to rock your world at: HourOfThunder.podomatic.com 

Thor, Balder, Loki, Frayja and Njord talk the new TinTin movie, including how it compares to the orginal comics, the animated TV shows and "Rin Tin Tin: canine cop".

We also talk: War Horse, debate the merits of motion capture, the academy award buzz for Andy Serkis in "Raise of the Planet of the Apes", debate whether or not James Franco is a fucking asshole (See if you can guess which side Thor, who writes these summaries falls on.)

Also for a change we actually discuss norse mythology at the beginning of the episode.

Along with: the upcoming Avergers movie, if Digital 3D is a fad and the fact that Thor's personal favorite incarnation of Thor is the marvel comic run written and drawn by Walter Simonson.

Also I think esperanto, William Shatner and the daily show comes up at one point.

I have two longer posts I hope to finish on my day off tomorrow, but really quick:

my favorite animation studio (Aardman*) adapted one of my favorite comedy book series: The Pirates! by Gideon Defoe. Here is the trailer:



This looks awesome. I am just gonna go line up for the midnight screening of this right now. What? it doesn't come out till 2012? Okay, I better bring some snacks with me then.
