We are very happy to have Tiffany Grant back again to talk about Gunsmith Cats! A show that is so american, it’s awesome! Like an 80’s action flick, it has chicks, guns, and cars. Rally might prefer a 9mm, but we won’t hold it against her! The best thing about Gunsmith Cats, I think is the ambiance, the sound design. Good thing Tiffany’s here to keep us on task!

Topics Covered
Getting every gun sound right
Stallone’s Cobra’s got the Touch!
Chicago land!
“No Pizza…” you know the rest!

I love Star Trek reunions

I love Star Trek reunions

Tonight we talk about Gargoyles, the action series created by Disney that the Mouse doesn’t know what the heck to do with. Co-created by Frank Paur and mostly written by Micheal Reaves, it is a good, solid series, if not slightly overrated by fans. We are joined by JT from Saskatoon to go over the particulars of this series.

This Bonus ep has nothing to do with animation and everything to do with the history of personal computing, so warning here and now: If talking about 16 bit, 32 bit, TRASH80’s, and the like bore you, do not venture further!

If it doesn’t, then come join Me and Neil as we talk to Techies Tom Revor and Tim Groves about technology!
