Greendale Is Where Tim Belongs, Episode 1/2: "Repilot" & "Introduction to Teaching"

Welcome back Human Beings! Today I'm launching a new podcast, Greendale Is Where Tim Belongs, a weekly audio review of Community season 5 starting with Thursday's two-episode premiere event, "Repilot" and "Introduction to Teaching." This is my first attempt at reviewing a half-hour sitcom in the audio format, so pardons if this debut outing is a tad rough and recap-y. Thankfully, Greendale accepts us and our podcasts, flaws and all.

Tim's TV Talk Drunkcast, Episode 2: 2013 Wrap-Up Spectacular

Welcome to this blog's final podcast of 2013 – and it ain't a sober one. Tim's TV Talk Drunkcast returns for an open-topic second installment that got so rambling and ran so overlong in its recording that the ninety-minute show below contains just over half of the monstrous raw audio file I had on my hands when the recording ended. But if you're interested in a few yearend thoughts on Scandal or Community or Hannibal or Game of Thrones or The Office or the new Hobbit or Hunger Games movies or 12 Years a Slave and even, yes, just a touch of anime talk there at the end, we gotcha covered. Grab a drink and your snack of choice and settle in.

Tim's TV Talk Podcast, Episode 10: Korrahood (aka Bring On the Cheese!)

Fans of both action-adventure fantasy cartoons and bighearted family dramas should be in heaven this week as Tim's TV Talk Podcast returns to discuss The Legend of Korra's second season finale arc and Parenthood's fifth season thus far. Fans of just one may not be in heaven, but since the timecodes below will help you skip to your show, that's at least worth a solid purgatory. Fans of neither, I'm sad to report, now languish in hell.

There's a 99% chance this will be the last "regular" installment of Tim's TV Talk Podcast this year, and I'm pleased I was able to hit the nice round number of ten episodes (and, for the record, the most discussed shows this year were Spartacus and Parenthood at two podcasts each, The Legend of Korra with three and finally Hannibal with a remarkable four). There was also one episode of Tim's TV Talk Drunkcast, and, well... stay tuned for one final podcast this year, hopefully by the end of next week. I'll leave it at that.

Enough foreplay. On with the show!

Podcast timecodes:

Intro - 0:00 - 0:55

The Legend of Korra - 0:55 - 19:25 (spoilers through season 2 finale)

Parenthood - 19:25 - 39:22 (spoilers through season 5 episode 9)

End - 39:22 - end

Tim's TV Talk Podcast, Episode 9: Reign of the Legend of Sleepy Parenthorror Story

We got a real smorgasbord on this here Tim's TV Talk. From medieval tween soaps to future M. Night Shyamalan source material to the joyful butchery of Washington Irving to the Braverman clan to witches and voodoo and minotaurs, this hour-plus podcast's got it all. We even take brief sidebars for reviews of The Michael J. Fox Show and the Carrie remake, a move so bold and ballsy no other podcast would even dare attempt it. Go forth, brave listeners, and hear opinions about TV shows!

Podcast timecodes:

Reign - 0:00 - 7:30 (spoilers through episode 2)

The Legend of Korra - 7:30 - 19:50 (spoilers through season 2 episode 8)

Tim's TV Talk Drunkcast, Episode 1: Under the Drunkcast

This week I'm launching a spinoff of Tim's TV Talk Podcast entitled Tim's TV Talk Drunkcast. It's much like the original program, except with one added element that should be immediately obvious, but, in case it yet eludes you, is explained mere minutes into our inaugural episode, in which booze, podcasting and the mediocre CBS genre serial Under the Dome all combine to form a rambling, giggling, semi-coherent two-hour monstrosity.

In addition to Under the Dome, this drunkcast contains spoilers for the TV shows Hannibal, Friday Night Lights, The Walking Dead (through season 2), Lost, Sherlock, The White Queen, Spartacus and Game of Thrones (and its source novels A Song of Ice and Fire) and the movies World War Z, The Spectacular Now, Carrie, Spring Breakers, Pacific Rim, Skyfall, Star Trek Into Darkness, Something Wicked This Way Comes and The Lord of the Rings films and books.

So, in other words, things go a liiittle off topic. If you're just here for Dome talk, feel free to hop out around the one hour mark, but strap yourself in for the pop culture whirlwind in hour two if you yet dare. Intoxication isn't required for listening, but honestly couldn't hurt.

Cheers!

Tim's TV Talk Podcast, Episode 8: Korracast

Earth... Fire... Air... Water. Only the Avatar can master all four elements, and bring balance to the world. But in lieu of balance in the world, feel free to listen to this quick podcast on The Legend of Korra, which covers the entirety of Book One and the first two episodes of Book Two, "Rebel Spirit" and "The Southern Lights." Be warned, this podcast is a master spoilerbender, so if you haven't seen the show yet then by all means catch the hell up then listen.

Tim's TV Talk Podcast, Episode 7: Hannibal Supreme

We've braved mushroom people, immolation, corpse totems, throat violins, mental breakdowns and many disturbingly delicious-looking cannibalistic dishes, and the first season of NBC's Hannibal has come to a triumphant close. Now let's make like those relatively anonymous lab techs and have us a post-mortem. Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers galore, so watch before you listen, lest you spoil your supper. Bon appétit.

Tim's TV Talk Podcast, Episode 6: Hannibal Ketchup

This week on the ol' Tim's TV Talk Podcast we play catch up and talk about the last three episodes of NBC's Hannibal: Episode 7, "Sorbet" (aka the dinner party episode), episode 8, "Fromage" (aka the Cello Man episode), and episode 9, "Trou Normand" (aka the corpse totem/Abigail Hobbs episode). Spoilers for the first nine episodes of Hannibal, duh! And profanity and graphic violence! Yeah, this is one intense podcast. Can you handle it?

Tim's TV Talk Podcast, Episode 5: Bob's Burgers S2 Ep. 4 ("Burgerboss") Commentary

Just in time to celebrate the end of a triumphant season 3, here's an audio commentary for Bob's Burgers season 2 episode 4, "Burgerboss" (aka the video game episode). As with our Spartacus commentary, I give the listener a timing sync mark at the beginning to make sure this commentary and your episode are properly synced.

Tim's TV Talk Podcast, Episode 4: Hannibal Episode 6 ("Entree") Review

Here's a 13-minute podcast review of the sixth episode of Hannibal (or fifth, if you don't count episode 4, "Œuf," which was pulled in America). Hannibal spoilers up through this episode, of course. Bon appétit.

Tim's TV Talk Podcast, Episode 3: The Following & Hannibal

We got a serial killer double-feature this week on the Tim's TV Talk Podcast as we discuss network TV's two murderiest new shows, Fox's The Following and NBC's Hannibal. Spoilers for the entire first season of The Following and for Hannibal up through episode 5, "Coquilles."

Tim's TV Talk Podcast, Episode 2: Spartacus Finale Commentary

Here's the second episode of my podcast and the first recorded with a higher-quality mic, so hopefully this one will lead to more enjoyment and less bleeding from your earholes. It's a full hour-long audio commentary for the series finale of Spartacus, "Victory." I let the listener know at the beginning of the podcast when I'm hitting play and when the episode title appears, so syncing up the audio with the episode should be no problem. Full spoilers for the entire series of Spartacus should be assumed, of course, and may our cocks rage on!

Tim's TV Talk Podcast, Episode 1: Talkin' Spartacus

Hey all. As everyone who writes about stuff on the internet is required by law to do at some point, I've decided to take a stab at podcasting. That's right, Tim's TV Talk can now be enjoyed with your ears. Give them eyeballs a rest, baby!

This is my first real attempt at this, so please pardon, one, the relatively low sound quality (the podcast was recorded right into the mic on my laptop), two, my habits of "uh," "well," "you know," and other idiotic stammering, and, three, the fact that it's not up on iTunes' podcast directory or anything yet. You can right click the link below to download and bring it into your iTunes/iPhone if you'd like, of course. If I decide to do more of these in the future, I'll try to get a real mic, get it on iTunes' podcast page, and learn how to speak. So without further ado:
