Summary
The newest episode of Dexter ended with the shocking return of Brian Moser, aka the Ice Truck Killer from way back in season one of the series. Based on spoilers, we speculated that he would be returning in this manner, so it was exciting to see one our predictions pan out! Brian’s return may mark a dramatic, series-changing direction for the show, as we have the possibility of Dexter of completely indulging his dark passenger and leaving behind anything he may have learned in the previous seasons. It opens up a lot of possibilities that haven’t been present in the show for a long time. In this special podcast we discuss the implications of this cliffhanger, as well as the interesting juxtaposition between the character of Dexter and the character of Travis.

Let us know what you think after listening to the podcast! Leave us a comment here or tweet us. We love feedback and will respond either with a comment or in our next published show.

Summary
Fringe: We discuss the immediate effects of Peter’s 3 week delayed return and speculate on just who the new and improved Shapeshifters could be working for.
Glee: Finally back after a LONG hiatus! We offer our thoughts on the addition of Glee Project winner Damian McGinty, how the show is living up to its self-proclaimed intention to focus on character this season and Meghan expresses her love for Burt Hummel.
Once Upon A Time: We learn about what the Evil Queen had to sacrifice to enact her curse, Meghan wonders just how much Rumpelstiltskin remembers and James finds out what he missed by not watching this week.
The Mentalist: The show continues to serve as a repository of secondary actors from other programs (hi Lost‘s Ethan!) and James talks about the decision to continue the Red John arc even after he was “killed” last season.
How I Met Your Mother: Ted finally finds the Slutty Pumpkin, Meghan speculates on how this could impact Ted’s arc and laments how long it’s been since we’ve seen the slap bet.
Dexter: As the Ice Truck Killer continues to be mentioned in the show, we speculate on what this could mean. We continue to discuss whether or not Professor Gellar is real or if the “clues” are simply a creative choice by the episode directors. We also discuss Brother Sam’s last words, “we should do this again sometime” and how they always seem to precede a character getting killed.

Welcome to Dopeland Thoughts

Written by:

The new dark comedy “Welcome To Dopeland” (formerly titled “Everything Must Go”) from director Len Dell’Amico is like a Cheech and Chong road picture crossed with Dr. Strangelove. About two slackers headed for trouble that find more of it than they ever dreamed of, this small indie flick covers some big bright ideas — and the end of the world — ripped right from today’s headlines.

For a limited time*, download “Welcome To Dopeland” for $2 by using the special discount code “Q802C088″ (Valid through 11/15) at checkout — go to http://bit.ly/OWSmovie to download your copy today.

I must admit that I’m not sure whether I hated Welcome to Dopeland or found it incredibly intriguing and thought provoking. I have a feeling that this is going to be one of those movies where the premise and messages it pictures are going to stick with me for a long time to come.

The movie definitely had strange and surprising twists every step of the way. For a while I had no idea where this movie was headed. In fact, they really wait until basically the end of the movie to reveal basically what’s going on.

You can find the trailer for Welcome to Dopeland below.

Summary
It’s a little delayed, but our TV Week in Review for last week is finally ready for download. Now that we’re all nice and caught up, these should start coming out on time again.

The Amazing Race: We briefly discuss the sudden implosion of the Father/Son team
Big Bang Theory: Another previous cast member of Dexter makes an appearance on CBS!
The Office: Jim and Pam’s ghost debate seems way too familiar to us
Once Upon A Time: Meghan and James share a rare difference of opinion regarding the quality of ABC’s latest new series, with Meghan viewing it as an engaging and promising premise and James finding it difficult to get past the complete fantasy of the fairy tale world. We also point out some of the writers’ heavy handed Lost Easter Eggs.
The Real World: Our dislike of Zach is solidified in his confrontation with Sam and we debate whether Zach’s “don’t ask don’t tell” attitude is truly harmless. Did we mention we don’t like Zach?
South Park: Randy + Stephen Sondheim + Bro Down= Amazing
Dexter: We continue to discuss the theory that Professor Gellar is a hallucination in Travis’ mind and note the accelerated pacing of Dexter tracking down and killing this season’s “Big Bad.” The Ice Truck Killer case is getting lots of references which we think is the writer’s cue that something from that case is going to play a very important role later in the season. Finally, we wrap up our discussion by considering some pseudo-spoilers. Source 1 and Source 2 for the Dexter spoilers we discuss. Do not look at them if you want to remain spoiler free!

Please let us know your thoughts by dropping us a comment here after listening either here! We love to hear feedback and what you thought of the show. We also encourage you to check out our blog or twitter feed to keep up to date with us!
