You’ll be shocked to learn that this week we lead off this episode talking about Oprah. But that’s just the kind of pop culture ground we have the skills to cover on the Geek Shall Inherit podcast! In this episode Daniel admits his strange and unnatural love of David Letterman and the weird depths of his fandom for this man and his TV show. He reveals a lot, but I’m not sure we have even scratched the surface…
The geek news really picked up this week, both good news and bad news, but we cover it all in a little over an hour.
In this episode we cover:
- - Daniel took in a lot of movies this last week, and only one of them was really nerdy :This is 40, The Campaign, Real Steel and The Help
- - We were both shocked by the surprise return of David Bowie this past week and the news of a new album.

- - Captain Action photo contest.
- - A Trek fan had a dying wish to see Star Trek Into Darkness. Thanks to Paramount and J.J. Abrams he got his wish.
- - The Ronnie Lane Story doc
- - If you are anywhere close to Los Angeles, check out Paleyfest 2013!
- - Congratulations to Jason and Holi Wires on the birth of their son Ronin Eddie Rey Wires on Tuesday.
- - New ‘Adventure Time’ action figure wave from Jazwares.

Daniel, did you ever watch Letterman when he was on during the day? It was on in the summer of 1980 and was hilarious, except, at around 11am Edwin Newman would come on and do the news. It was bizarre.
Here is a show suggestion: Favorite Birthday Memory. This is another suggestion: GSI Kickstarter for the project of your choice, for instance, cash to record: “Don’t u Want Me” by the Human League.
Are you guys watching American Horror Story?
I never saw his morning show while it was on, but have seen a handful of episodes since on VHS and such. The Mrs. and I are watching American Horror Story. I’m liking this season better than the last. It feels like it was plotted out better and they have a better idea of where they wanted to go with it. The first season just felt like a lot of cool ideas loosely strung together.
The gf and I have AHS Season 1 on dvd but haven’t watched it yet. Our bar friends rave about it. AHS Season 2 is a lot of fun. We’re are currently going through a Heroes phase w/Dr. Threadson (Zac Quinto).
There was a daytime Letterman “Viewer Mail” skit that was so funny my brothers and I still laugh about it.
I’ll let you get back to recording Human League hits. Thx for answering!
