www.womentalkscifi.com


“Eureka” Eugenia and Gerri found it! Well the topic for this podcast that is! Eugenia and Gerri had the pleasure of catching up with the robotic Deputy Andy himself, Kavan Smith, at a Hub Productions event in Adelaide www.thehubproductions.com. You also know Kavan from his roles in Stargate as Major Lorne and 4400 as Jed Garrity. They talk about the aspects they like about the show and what hopes they have for its final episodes. They also discuss some of their dislikes, which aren’t many, well except for a really bad Australian accent. Kavan gives insight into the world of Eureka and how he developed his robot character, and one character he really enjoys playing. He also talks about how web based series like The Guild and Sanctuary have changed the way shows are marketed. If you like Eureka or not watched it, no, that can’t be right! Every geek wants to live in a town like this so you must have watched it! This is one podcast that should not be missed.

Podcast 46 ~ Space Can Be A Funny Place - Michael Winslow Interview

Eugenia and Gerri talk about their favourite Sci Fi parodies such as Galaxy Quest, Spaceballs, Robot Chicken and Family Guy. They discuss the accurate portrayal (not that they dress up) of attending Conventions portrayed à la Galaxy Quest and the homages to Sci Fi shows in the 200th episode of Stargate SG-1. The guest interviewed by Eugenia and Gerri is the talented Michael Winslow who is probably more recognised as the Human Beat Box Larvelle Jones from the Police Academy movies but who has also appeared as ‘Radar’ in Spaceballs and voiced the gremlin ‘Stripe’. Their thanks go to Daniel and Lionel from Supanova www.supanova.com.au for the interview with Michael.www.womentalkscifi.com

Podcast 45~ Baddie Apophis Talks

In this podcast Gerri and Eugenia begin a discussion that they know they will have to continue on other podcasts about Sci Fi villains. This discussion began due to interviewing Peter Williams who plays Apophis in Stargate at a recent Supanova event www.supanova.com.au. You hear Peter talk about his time on the Stargate set and how he set the bar for the other ‘baddies’ that were to follow in the Stargate universe. Amongst some of the villains discussed were Apophis (of course), Scorpius from Farscape, The Master from Doctor Who, Darth Vader, The Borg Queen, Khan and Gul Dukut from Star Trek. So are these villains truly bad or just misunderstood? Gerri and Eugenia give their opinions about these iconic characters. Thanks goes to their friends Jason and Darren from Gifts for the Geek www.giftsforthegeek.com.au for Peter’s interview.www.womentalkscifi.com

Podcast 44 ~ Sci Fi or Not?

In this podcast Eugenia and Gerri talk about a slightly different show than they normally do! It is called The Goodies, a 1970-80s comedy show starring one of the UK’s most famous comedy teams. But if it is a comedy why are Women Talk Sci Fi talking about it on a Science Fiction Podcast? Well, they think that the show is a not only a comedy but a Sci Fi show and in this episode they manage to convince Jeff from The Goodies Podcast http://goodiespodcast.libsyn.com that it is! You only need to look at the episodes called Kitten Kong, Clown Virus and of course Invasion of the Moon Creatures to understand why it is Sci Fi! So sit back and find out how much fun it is and then track down the DVDs or You Tube it and just have some great fun! This is a blast from the past and they hope you will find it great fun too! Thanks again to Jeff for joining Eugenia and Gerri for the fun of it. www.womentalkscifi.com
