Instacast for iPad

Instacast has gone back to being my default podcast catcher for the iPhone, and just in time, because today Vemedio released Instacast HD. The app is absolutely gorgeous, set up is as easy as tapping "use iCloud sync" on the splash screen, (make sure you enabled iCloud sync on your iPhone, its in the settings app if you want to make sure) and Instacast HD will import all your podcasts and even playback positions. The main UI is like a taseful mix of Reeder and the iPad music app, but its episode playback where Instacast HD really shines. Show notes fill the screen, and theres a built in web browser (that appears as a tab, quite like the new Google Search App) for exploring the links further. For tech and news podcasts with tonnes of links, this is a massive deal. While I'm probably going to keep listening to most podcasts on the iPhone in my pocket, Instacast HD will become my preferred way of listening to the nerdier, link heavy stuff i listen to, with the iPad on my desk as I work, or kitchen bench while cooking dinner. And the great thing is knowing the playback positions will sync between the two automatically. Instacast HD is $5.49 AU in the App Store.   Instacast for iPad - Enjoy your Podcasts - Vemedio.

Thor, Paul, Game of Thrones and SxSW Film Festival

Hello! Long time no chat. Here's the latest podcast featuring Thor, Paul, Game of Thrones and SxSW Film Festival, a new game from Justin, and This Day in History. Enjoy!

New Podcast! Yay!

Its been a bloody long time since i've been able to sit down and talk shit about films with my dear friend Justin Gibson. I can't tell you how happy it made me! In this episode, recorded Sunday afternoon Australian time (Pre-Oscars) but uploaded Monday night (Post Oscars) due to technical difficulties, we take a look at the nominees for best picture. We manage to pretty much predict every single award we mention, which says a lot more about the Academy's safe decisions than our ability to read minds. Films that get a mention are The Kings Speech, True Grit, Toy Story 3, Black Swan, Exit Through The Gift Shop, The inside Job, 127 Hours, the Fighter, and um, just for good measure, The Green Hornet.

Greenberg, Piranha 3d

Fuck Inception, Piranha 3D may just be the movie of the year. But probably not. Either way, this episode was probably the most fun I've had recording this year. After 200 odd episodes across 3 different shows, I think I'm finally getting the hang of this whole podcastin' thing.

Inception (Podcast)

Despite all the warning that this episode is a "spoilercast" of Inception, we actually only spoil for about 10 minutes, and we give fair warning. Enjoy.

Me and Orson Welles, Antichrist

Heh, just noticed this is actually episode 55. We should've celebrated episode 50 somehow. Oh well. On todays show (recorded last Sunday due to a busy week all round) we discuss Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles and the Lars Von Trier's Antichrist. Mentioned on the show, the introduction to Lars Von Trier's Europa: And part one of The Battle over Citizen Kane: (The rest of the documentary is also on youtube) Enjoy.
