In the News:
Movie Talk:
Special Segment: Carl and Di from He and She Said has a scathing movie review of Roland Emmerich’s “10,000 BC. If you were planning to see this one, perhaps you better hear out Carl and Di first before slapping your money down.
TV Talk: “Battlestar Galactica’s” exec. prod. David Eick has some final news about Bionic Woman, as well as some information about an all new television series he will be adapting from a popular P.D. James novel “Children of Men.”
Interview: We are so pleased to be able to talk with the legendary star of stage, television and big screen, the Grand Dame of Scifi, Nichelle Nichols. Joining Nichelle is director J. Neil Schulman. The two worked together on the film “Lady Magdelene’s,” the new suspense/comedy film that is part scifi and part contemporary that has Nichelle starring as a modern day Madam of a Nevada brothel who, with a disgraced IRS agent is hot on the trail of a possible terrorist. We had such a great time talking with Nichelle and Neil that we just kept it going right into our Future Talk segment so that part of the show won’t be featured in this week’s edition. We know you will truly enjoy this fun conversation with one of entertainment’s greatest ladies to ever grace the profession.

My download speeds went up from 1.5k/s to 10k/s, not a big increase, but big enough to make download feasible.
No kidding. I’ve been downloading this episode for two hours and it’s still showing another 6MB and 20 minutes to go. Brutal.
What a great interview, guys! The download time was worth it.
HELP!!! I can’t download this episode on your site and my Zune cant get this ep either!!
Cranked out the download at 10 to 20k/s. Took about 45 min. but the Nichelle Nichols interview was totally worth it.
The spice, she flows. After several timeouts ze file is mine. There is only one thing left to do now, put ze hands on ze hips and laugh!
Must be some kind of bottlenecking going on for the download day. I’m getting to this a week later and it’s downloading just fine.
Alas.
I just got the episode a week late, but it’s downloading now.
I have say the review for 10,000 BC was really unfair. I don’t think anyone went to it thinking it would be the next Lord of the Rings or anything. It was just a fun action flick. rating it 1 out of 10 is ludicrus. If you don’t like it, that’s fair, but surely there are worse movies out there. Even the complaints made by the reviewers were a bit silly. Yes, 3 athletic men on foot CAN keep up with men on horseback cross country. The men on horses were dragging slaves on chains! They didn’t travel across the world, the hunters started on the top of a mountain range, where it was snowy, and as they traveled down the climate changed. Yes, they actually met a man who spoke 3 languages and translated for them! That’s more realistic than them having everyone speak the same language in all the tribes.
