This week Laura and Brenda try to talk about nothing but Merlin, which should have been easy considering every podcast for the last two months has started off with them talking about Merlin. Shockingly, after two hours, only 50 minutes was actually about Merlin, so here is that 50 minutes, edited down for your convenience. WARNING. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN MERLIN SEASON FOUR, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST. We start off with spoilers right off the bat. We also spoil the entire show, if you haven't seen any of it yet. It's available on Netflix streaming and season four just started on SyFy this weekend. If you don't care about Merlin, the good news is, the other hour of conversation will be forthcoming.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! We don't have much to talk about as far as comics or our regular geek television programming. Instead we discuss Christmas specials / movies, then a little bit of our upcoming 2012 convention schedule, and somehow it all ends up back on Merlin. Music used: Joey Ramone - What A Wonderful World; Klenodier - Hvilken Venn Vi Har I Jesus

("Breakfast Club" graphic by Keith Kuniyuki.) This week Joe & PattyBoom from Comic Book Queers (we can't seem to get rid of Mr. Peebers), Chris from Geeks of Doom and Vince from Filmdrunk guest with Brenda to talk about breakfast sandwiches. Is it a coincidence that all the ladies canceled and this topic became a sausagefest? Probably. French toast sticks. I underlined it. Music used: Breakfast in America. Supertramp.
If you click on this, it gets bigger. This podcast is a smash-up of some leftover conversations with Comics of Doom friend Hunter Camp (we were talking about NYCC and various other things), and some Merlin and assorted comic talk with CBQ's PattyBoom, cut from last week's podcast.
