Covering last week’s “The Doctor’s Wife”, the three talk some sense into Rory’s inability to stay alive, all the throwbacks to the original series, and more — all without making any comments as to how smoking hot Amy Pond is! Oh, wait. I lied. We still comment on how hot Amy Pond is. Also, Jay V gets a double entendre win! This is the only time that About 12 Time Lords will appear on the main feed.

Sorry, Jon (@jontilton), for not mentioning your Twitter on the show. Brady kept interrupting me. Also, thanks to Sarah for letting me run with the idea for naming a kitten Drugstore Cotton, though it was Matthew’s fault, as he told me to name it that. Brady says: Fun show! It’s ashame Matt is already eliminated. I also gave him his bio. It will be posted on mattriviera.com soon.

And then, picking up shortly (about 2 minutes) after the previous episode ended, Jay, Vanessa, Nick, and Sarah with an ‘h’ tangent into fan fiction before getting back on track with Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Beware, spoilers abound! [see the previous episode here] Other tangents brought up: Harry Potter fan fiction and slash fiction, and Barry Trotter Nick’s blog entry he wrote early this week — 2012, Alaskan blob, zombie cart Hamsters biting fingers And somewhere in the background, Nick and Jay talk about Brazil, another movie Jim Broadbent (Slughorn) was in (and other background topics) Who would win in a fight between J. K. Rowling and J. R. R. Tolkien? The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy What Sarah needs to make her butterbeer Matthew’s obsession with carbonation Penis-shaped things Actual topics covered (something we should do when topics last more than five minutes): Age discrepancies between book and movie ALAN F**KING RICKMAN Scenes dropped from the movie which would have made the movie better, and Translation vs. Adaptation in more detail Having to pee during these movies Opening night and some of the weird stuff fans do And at some point, Jay cackles in a very creepy way and then pretends to be Joe Edwards. And then Brady and Jay debut their new advice column, the Friends, Dating an Relationship Advice Column. Call in with your questions at 484-994-2126! Brady says: Jesse Mattatopolis sounds like a Brooklyn based vampire. Jay says: I think we should work with hand signals (and I actually look at everyone instead of the computer screen or Nick’s mic stand) instead of try and talk over everyone. Or maybe headphones will work. Fake Nationalized Citibank Commercial from Funny Or Die. Greek prices from Greek Landscapes. Nick says: This was good times, especially since the girls did most of the talking. I look forward to Sarah and Nessa’s forthcoming self-published novel, Harry Potter and the Throne of Bone. Vanessa says: Your mom says this show is a clusterfuck of awesome. Alan rickman rocks, fanfiction does not and I want some butterbeer.

Our show would have been longer if I didn’t shorten the Harry Pottery bit!

The worst ever movies you could find on Netflix Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince This episode is so big IT CANNOT BE CONTAINED IN ONE EPISODE!!!! So, basically, stay tuned for next week when we continue the discussion. [part two can be found here] Jay says: I’m the only one who leaves notes in these things. But I wanted to thank a few people for the show, both in front of and behind the scenes: Adam, for coming out to do the show with us after so many delays in actual podcasting. You will appear via Skype next time. Kati, for talking and having a microphone in front of you for about 40 seconds or so. Nessa, for actually podcasting with us. Sarah, for reminding me your name has an H whenever I forget. Also, for bringing a mic cable. Matthew, who wasn’t in the episode, but provided a nice break from the HP discussion. @baronetess, for suggestiong great matches for the deathmatches on Twitter. And of course, co-host Brady, for coming in to do our first FDNRA segment about four times only to be bumped off to the next episode. Do you like the show? Rate it!
