Intro: Carol of the Bells – Bully soundtrack Break: Snow – White Christmas soundtrack [...]2013-12-1500 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 104 – The Day of the Doctor Despite this episode’s title, we only talk about the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special for few minutes (and Bill dishes some spoilers while talking more about Adventures in Time and Space), while Anne contemplates if Assassin’s Creed IV may be her favorite game in the series and teaches us all about “laving”. Also [...]2013-11-2400 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 103 – Continental Breakfast Anne’s back in town and Bill’s got a PS4, and so the lion’s share of this week’s episode is about that new device (specifically, how Twitch integration could lead to a golden age of livestreaming) and Anne’s visit to the Vancouver’s Museum of Anthropology, though we still find time to talk about Harlan [...]2013-11-1700 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 102 – Console Launch/Current-Gen Retrospective Anne’s out of town again this week, so listeners Daniel “The Grumpy Turtle” Rutis and Scott “Cannon Heart” Douglas have stepped into her shoes to talk with Bill about memories of past console launches and our favorite (and least favorite) games of the Xbox 360, Wii and PS3 generation of videogames. [...]2013-11-1100 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 98 – Spider Bite It’s a low-energy episode this week as Anne is recovering from an unfortunate bug bite, though Bill is still riding high off the Breaking Bad finale and the new Making of Return of the Jedi book. After some talk about Beyond: Two Souls and the nature of QTE-filled games, [...]2013-10-0700 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 97 – Rock-A-Fire Warehouse Explosion Anne finally caved in and downloaded GTA V, so we spend a decent chunk of this episode talking about the first few hours of the game before Anne talks about Kingdom of Heaven and anniversary steaks while Bill farts about Agents of Shield and how much he hates Jurassic Park. In the Geek Week [...]2013-09-3000 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 93 – Saints Row IV This week we bask in the knuckle-dragging glory that is Saints Row IV, even as Bill frets weeps about (maybe) not being able to make it to PAX and the discovery that 3DS Streetpass hats can’t always be seen by other people who you Streetpass with you. While Bill pulls himself together, Anne [...]2013-08-2600 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 87 – The Drift This week: we get slightly spoilery about Pacific Rim, Anne gushes (almost literally from her eyeballs) about Jordan Mechner’s new graphic novel Templar, the book Difficult Men almost makes Bill never want to watch an HBO drama ever again (but then Bill turns around and start yapping about The Newsroom and Boardwalk Empire). [...]2013-07-1500 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 55 – The Fifth Most Erotic Disney Film We thought this would be a short podcast this week since Anne was sick and Bill spent most of the week working, but then Bill went to the movies and so he spends an hour talking about Skyfall, Wreck-It Ralph and Cloud Atlas, and then Anne finished Assassin’s Creed III right before we recorded, [...]2012-11-1100 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 47 – Anne’s Rule of Gadget Porn Bill’s got a migraine and the result is a (slightly) quieter podcast than usual this week. That doesn’t keep us from talking about movie novelizations (The Goonies in particular), the appeal of strap-ons and of breastmilk, “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship“, The Price of Salt, the latest run of Stumptown, Game Center CX and places [...]2012-09-1600 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 45 – Peanut Butter Trigger WarningCONTENT WARNING: Especially not safe for work. ANNE’S MOM: Don’t click this one, really. A 7-day work week hasn’t been enough to keep Anne from playing the hell out of Sleeping Dogs (which Bill is now interested in playing now just because he found out you can dress up the protagonist in Ryo‘s [...]2012-09-0200 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 37 – Anne vs. The Court of Public Opinion Anne speaks out in defense of The Amazing Spiderman as Bill gushes about Downton Abbey. Anne then goes out and wrestles a grizzly bear while Bill nurses Anne’s young in a cave. We then grunt our way through this week’s Felicia Day/Anita Sarkeesian kerfuffles, flail at understanding what the Higgs-Boson particle actually does, lament [...]2012-07-0700 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 35 – The Francine Odysseys The podcast turns into Siskel and Ebert, only if Siskel hadn’t seen any of the movies in question and if Ebert hated everything. That said, Bill talks about Moonrise Kingdom, Brave and The Borrower Arrietty while Anne contemplates a Peanut Butter Snickers square. We’re expecting a Peabody for this episode, folks. Anne gushes about [...]2012-06-2300 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 30 – Pawnee Saturday Night Bill and Anne become painfully aware that TV season is drawing to a close, what with the end of Parks & Recreation last week, the end of 30 Rock and Community this week (well, at least until September) and only a handful of episodes of The Legend of Korra, Mad Men and Game [...]2012-05-1900 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 28 – Comic Book B̶o̶o̶b̶i̶e̶s̶ Movies Bill’s seen The Avengers (no spoilers, we promise), and so we’re talking about comic book movies in general this week – everything from Popeye to The Dark Knight to American Splendor and everything in between. Before that, however, Anne talks up lesbian romance novels, Bill recaps the Stumptown Comics Fest, and both of us [...]2012-05-0400 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 26 – Wizard People Anne and Bill take a break from Witching to talk about which Hogwarts houses they’ve been sorted into (and Pottermore in general), Anne’s struggles with writing a gay romance novel, how Game of Thrones may be a better TV show than a book series, Mad Men’s knockout “thematic short story episodes“, Meredith [...]2012-04-2100 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 23 – A Song of Ice and Fire Anne and Bill absolutely lose their shit over the “gersbermps berks” girl this week before chatting about the Hunger Games books (and movie), Anne’s attempt to cash in on the Mega Millions lottery, the first two episodes of The Legend of Korra and the new Playstation 4 rumours that sprang up this week. Then [...]2012-03-3100 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 13 – Strong Female CharactersThis week’s topic: Bill and Anne pick their five favorite strong female characters from movies, games, TV shows, comics and books. But first it’s the news of the week: Anne’s hunt for all things Kat Dennings-related, Bill gripes about the Annotated Sandman, (Vol. 1), everybody geeks out over Parks & Recreation and we pimp Shaenon [...]2012-01-1900 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode 10.5 – Doctor WhoAnne is out sick this week, so Bill assembles a crack team of nerds to talk about Doctor Who while she’s gone – considering the lack of Anne, you should consider this an alternate-universe episode of the show, hence its 10.5 designation. Anyway, this week we’ve got cartoonist/writer Dylan Meconis and contract negotiation coach Katie [...]2011-12-3100 minThe Boy Howdy PodcastEpisode Nine – The Games of 2011It’s come to this – a GOTY podcast.
