Happy MLK Day everyone. I hope most of you have the day off and will be able to have a short work week ahead. A long weekend makes us all “as happy as a clam at a clam convention.”
To kick things off we have a few corrections from the last episode. We’ve recorded over 56 hours of original, unscripted talk and every so often something comes out of our mouths that’s just… off. That happened last week, so we clean it up here. I know it was the 20lb gorilla in the room… wait… what? Crap. I did it again!
In this episode we cover:
- - The Golden Globes – Jason hit some after parties. Who did he run into?
- - Daniel is playing the Simpsons: Tapped Out app. on his iPhone.
- - Everything or Nothing James Bond documentary.
- - What we watched last week: Frankenwennie, Ruby Sparks, Ted
- - Why does every US show need a brit in the lead role?
- - Sons of Anarchy 1:18th scale bikes from Maisto.
- - Minimates Battle Beasts wave 1 from DST shipping this week.
- - A new Pink Floyd documentary
- - A little new information on a possible Star Wars TV show.
- - Statement from Hasbro on the future of Star Wars figures.
- - Disney announces Disney Infinity video game (a PRE-correction – when talking about this game I mention “the duck from Phineas and Ferb” – Dunno why I said that. It’s a platypus, not a duck)
- - Guillermo Del Toro working on the Justice League Dark Movie
- - The end of ‘FRINGE’
All that and much more!

Scott Neitlichspoke about Mattel’s plans with Back to the Future on the Toy Fair 2012 episode of He-Man.org’s Roast Gooble Dinner podcast. They actually made the Hover Board because they couldn’t do much else with the license. It was decided the cost of tooling for 6″ action figures was too expensive.
Is it too late for GSI to trademark the phrase “Can Game”? Ralph Garman has 3 lines in Ted and he stole the show. You guys judged Marky-Mark pretty fairly. I can’t let him off the hook for Planet of the Apes but he was great in Boogie Nights.
Daniel it was 18 degrees this morning so make sure you dress warmly when you invade NY. February tends to be colder than January. If you make your way to Philly I’ll have a cheesesteak ready.
18 degrees?!?!?! Ugh! That’s it. I’m just going to send a robot to Toy Fair that can beam back images! In my 10 years of going to Toy Fair in NYC I have been caught in 2 of NYC record snowfalls. Fortunately Santa brought me a nice warm scarf in anticipation of my annual trip east.
A scarf is a good start. Just blow Toyfair off and come to Philly. Post pix from 2012. Luckly, geeks don’t obsess so nobody will call you on it.
Did the Fringe finale wrap-up all of the loose ends?
PS: Please do not bring the snow with you.
