Episode 10 :: The Phantom Santorum
Happy New Year from the Flame On! crew! We share our New Year’s Nerd Resolutions and get ready for another year of the geekiest, gayest podcast on the net! We are super excited for Orlando MegaCon on February 17-19, so come visit us and say hello! Last episode Eric told us about how he broke a “toy” of his, but luckily Bryan discovered some new DC Legos — just don’t let Eric get his hands on Lego Batman.
Movies We have our fair share of tramp stamps, but nothing could prepare us for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo! We also weigh in on The Adventures of Tintin, the Star Wars movies in 3D, and Ryan Reynolds winning Best Super Hero for Green Lantern at the People’s Choice Awards. Plus, don’t miss our preview of this year’s movies, including The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers, Prometheus, and more!
Games
The Question joins the Empire as a Sith Warrior in Star Wars: The Old Republic! This game has taken the gaming community by storm and shocked it with some force lightning, and we share our experiences in BioWare’s new story-based MMORPG!
Mario also makes a splash with the new Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land for the 3DS!
TV
WTF?! A new Super Friends cartoon show with all the campy corniness from the original? The first episode blew us away, and not in a good way. Also, hear the lowdown on Erica Durance as Wonder Woman on Harry’s Law, Kevin Smith’s new reality show about comic book retailers, Star Wars: Underworld, and the chilling American Horror Story season finale!
Gay News
Our city of Orlando gets a shot a a Domestic Partner Registry! The Question learns what Santorum is (listen closely to hear him vomit in the background). And Bryan gives us the deets on a new bear website! Are you a cub, pup, or muscle pig?
Fan Questions
We answer Harry’s question about shaving his body hair to be a smooth twink, while another fan wants some help getting the attention of a big nerd. We were born for questions like this!
Comics
Ed Brubaker’s creepy Fatale series gives us chills! At DC, Midnighter and Apollo get gay in Stormwatch, 5 titles get cancelled, and the company announces 5 new titles to replace them. Meanwhile at Marvel, Avengers vs. X-Men is revving up, Age of Apocalypse gets a new series, and we discuss the latest developments in Avengers: The Children’s Crusade. We discuss all of this and more in this bursting comics segment!
