movie reviews for the crazies.

To follow up that unprecedented review of a current film, I'm writing another non-movie review entry. But it is entertainment-related so shut up. The topic is...

PODCASTS! I love 'em. I love 'em for several reasons, here's the list:

1. They're free.
2. There are podcasts about every topic imaginable.
3. Much like myspace, they're a revolutionary new way for former strangers to interact on the internet.
4. Anyone can make them.
5. Did I mention that they're free?

Here's a list of some of the ones that I like in no particular order:

The Savage Love Podcast
If you like Dan Savage's nationally syndicated sex advice newspaper column, you'll jump for joy every time you listen to an audio version of the same thing! In the podcast version, listeners call in their questions instead of writing in. This makes it more fun because you can tell how young and nervous everyone is. And you get to hear Dan Savage yell at everyone and get all sassy!

The Cult of UHF

Their tagline says enough to get me excited: Free Classic B-Movies. What more do I have to say? If you enjoy watching bad movies (lord knows I do), download this podcast.

VOLCASTS by Volcom Entertainment

There is an endless supply of surf, skate, and snowboarding podcasts on the interweb, but in my opinion Volcom does it with the most flair. Because they're so artsy fartsy! I love their whole aesthetic. Even if you're not a fan of said sports (PS you suck), download "The Dawn of the Stone Age" animated feature podcast because it's good no matter what you like.

The Rest of Everest Video Podcast

Let's face it losers: most of us will never set foot anywhere near Mount Everest. However through the magic of podcasts you can follow a group of friends who did (several of whom summited) in 2003! They made a film about it (Everest: The Other Side) and then decided that it wasn't enough. So they took the rest of the footage that they shot, which covers the whooooole journey from Wal-mart to Kathmandu, and created this podcast. It's fun to watch, and it makes you feel like you took a trip too (even though you're still just a fatty on a computer).
