Spies

Another long one, folks, this time about everyone's favorite modern fantasy: the spy. We talk about the men of mystery, from the goofy Maxwell Smart and Chuck Bartowski to the smoothest, sexiest spy of all, James Bond. Why do they have such a hold over our imaginations, or why do we hate them so much? Why are people playing Dominion in the background? And why isn't Kevin on a mic until the end of the show? Find the answers to these questions and more inside.

Samuel L. Jackson

While Dom is busy finishing up his big move, Kevin decided it's time for use to come back with a very casual conversation we recorded during a party (hence the background voices), so of course we chose Samuel L. Jackson! We go over the actor's career, our favorite moments, his mixed filmography, and a whole bunch of other topics that have nothing to do with Samuel L. Jackson at all! It wouldn't be an S-Words Podcast without the 'S' standing for 'Segway'. We hope you enjoy this off-topic extravaganza.

(also a bonus side conversation about Daybreakers, that vampire movie...)

Squaresoft

With the release of Final Fantasy XIII just around the corner (or already past if you understand Japanese), this episode concentrates on SquareSoft and Square Enix. We spend some time talking about the highs and lows of the company made famous by its console RPGs, with a focus on the Final Fantasy series but occasional forays into its other, less successful ventures. Of course, this wouldn't be the S-Words without a whole lot of tangents, and for some reason Dom keeps trying to find some bro fist action. Enjoy!

Kevin Smith

This week we talk about one of the geekiest writer/directors in the business, Kevin Smith. From Clerks to Zack and Miri, we talk about the highs and lows of his movies, including the Superman movie that never happened. We stay on topic about as well as Mallrats, though, with discussions ranging from how Monopoly could be made into a good movie to upcoming comic book movies and celebrity poker. Have fun!

Note: This one's another editing job by Dom, with some sound problems that were caused by a couple of guest hosts joining in late. We'll work to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Survival Horror

This week we get our game on and take a look at our experiences with the survival horror video game genre. Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Typing of the Dead, and other mainstays of the game genre are all examined in this intimate round-table discussion led by our resident gamers: Danny, Ian and Dom. Also stay tuned for the end in which they discuss their Top 3 Villains/Monsters from Survival Horror games.
