Whedon Geeks On!

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008 at 9:22 am by Jami

Keith, who you will be hearing more from on this blog shortly, sent over this link to the Geeks On podcast. Last week they brought in Joss Whedon to discuss robots and artificial intelligence. It’s a pretty intellectual and quite geeky discussion as you might expect from a group of Hollywood writers and actors. Seems like quite a nice podcast. I will have to add them to my ever expanding list of things I should be listening to.

    I would NOT think that a pack of Hollywood writers and Actors talking about AI would be particularly scintillating, given how bad they hose up any technical subject that comes into their shows/movies… Whedon gets slack from me on this because Firefly was teh b0mb.

    But generally speaking Hollywood couldn’t find it’s own collective black hole with a handfull of toilet paper.

    Nah, i have been a listener of geeks on for a 2 years now. To respond they are low level Hollywood talents and are pretty geeky. They are pretty good in alot of ways, but they can sound a little too “blamie” or forget something that is pivitol to their own argument. They put on a good show for a hour and a half of listening (for a podcast). They maybe a Hollywood actor, screen writer, video game developer, and producer but they are not complete shumcks.

    The joss Whendon episode is best put like this
    “Hey i am Joss Whendon, i am bored and on strike. I may not know a much about AIs but i use them alot in my series.”
