Podcast the aftermath

I wonder if anyone else is interest in setting up threads to discuss the content of the podcast after they have been uploaded?
I suggest two reasons:
1. It provides some feedback to those who take/have the time to be involved and also gives them some validation in bothering in the first instance.
2. I'm sure we have all sat in front of the TV yelling at the presenter of that debate show or yelled at the radio while driving. Here's the chance to let em have it where they can actually answer back.
So to start:
I listened to 8 over the weekend. I have a couple of comments. Please post a link to the list you discussed. Pirates of Silicon Valley, despite being a TV movie is a movie. Was Duel a movie? Just about every movie publication I've ever read seems to think so. It was made for TV. When we consider the change in delivery of movies to the audience we cant rely on the theatre release as a useful definition of something being a movie. Consider Bubble by Soderbergh. Released in "selected theaters and HDNet simultaneously, and four days later on DVD." (from wikipedia). This suggests that the delivery method of film will change radically in the next 10 years. It also says to me that where you see it is not a reliable definition of a medium. Its a bit like the webcomics are not comics debate. On the film itself. I found it to be pretty entertaining. Noah Wiley played Jobs in an inspired bit of casting if only for the physical similarity. What the film sought to highlight, as alluded to in the title, is how much of the innovation from companies like Apple and Microsoft was not their innovation but was pilfered from others. In a scene at the end of the movie Jobs turns to Gates and accuses him of stealling their stuff. Neglecting to mention that much of that 'stuff' was 'stolen' from Xerox in the first place: at Xerox's behest actually. Certainly a geek film and probably more so than others on the list.
Other comments from anyone?
This is the first podcast that I want to listen to again, it was a really good show benefiting I feel from a predefined format. When I've listened again I'm sure I'll have more comment as I certainly felt like screaming at my walkman when listening. That's a compliment btw.

This here is one of the reasons why I like Talkshoe. Next time we have a podcast (September 6) you are welcome to come in and say whatever you want. This can be a call-in show.
Also, we make a thread for every podcast. It talks about pre-podcast stuff and we comment in it afterward. So...we kinda do have podcast threads. Just nobody posts in them.
The podcast area that was put private was made because Necronic was working with people on topics to discuss them ahead of time and we decided that if this were set for private then it wouldn't give the whole show away in text first.

I guess I'm just trying to get a bit of debate interest in the podcasts going. I've been enjoying them but there has been imho an underwhelming response. I suppose I'm trying to share the love a bit. Anyway with luck we haven't derailed this thread. I'll have a think about where to post my rant about how you managed not to mention Robert Redford when talking about the cast of Sneekers or that my (less then extensive research) proves you to be absolutely right about Dennis Quaid.

The next one is TV right? Not sure my TV viewing was the same as those talking on the Podcast but maybe.This here is one of the reasons why I like Talkshoe. Next time we have a podcast (September 6) you are welcome to come in and say whatever you want. This can be a call-in show.
You're right, I've just found the Geek Movie one.Also, we make a thread for every podcast. It talks about pre-podcast stuff and we comment in it afterward. So...we kinda do have podcast threads. Just nobody posts in them.
Without wishing to pile a whole load of sub-board requests up there the threads on the casts get a bit lost in the general section with all the heavier posted threads pushing them out of sight. I completely missed the thread on this last one. Is there a way to handle viewing rights at the thread level or is that way too complicated in any case?The podcast area that was put private was made because Necronic was working with people on topics to discuss them ahead of time and we decided that if this were set for private then it wouldn't give the whole show away in text first.
