By the way, I like the “with boobs” idea. Think of all the other TV show titles it could work with!
Heroes With Boobs
Lost With Boobs
Pushing Daisies With Boobs
Eureka With Boobs
Jericho With Boobs
Journey With Man Boobs
Bionic Woman With More Boobs
Medium With Less Boobs
Deal or no Boobs
etc…

I think it is great that you are including a Journeyman related interview on your weekly podcasts, and I hope you can make it a weekly occurrence until the show is contracted for more episodes.
Toodles~
Oh and Silent Running the Bruce Dern character killed himself at the end as a rescue team from Earth had caught up with him.
Mike kept saying that he saw the trailer for ‘G.I. Joe’ – what’s he talking about? They haven’t even finished casting, as far as I know there is no kind of trailer for this movie.
There isn’t. That was a MRM slip of the tongue. 😉
Yeah… sorry. Not trailer. Promotional material that was sent from studio.
My bad.
