Episode 9 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!

Raesive, Lego, Shoshana, Cody and Apollo sit down and share the experience of watching one of the most intriguing movies inspired by a comic book released in recent times. The troubled and rage filled “V” seeks revenge on the government that destroyed that which he barely knew but loved most, while the cast watches in shock and awe. 

Get ready for two hours of awkward silences, bad jokes, off-mic nodding, and even a discussion about the hosts’ pets.

Happy listening!

Episode 8 - With a Poufwa in one hand and a tribble in the other

poufwa11.png

Episode 8 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!

In this episode, Aaron, Sue and I are very pleased to welcome Don S. Lehman to the Exchange!  Don is a behind-the-scenes veteran from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and was kind enough to join us for another round of Trek-geeking!   

Tonight, we offer a commentary for Deep Space Nine’s Trials and Tribble-ations:

When Temporal Investigations arrives on Deep Space 9, Sisko recounts how he and the crew of the Defiant traveled back in time to the 23rd century to prevent the assassination of Captain James T. Kirk during the original Enterprise’s mission to Space Station K-7.

Episode 7 - It’s Like X-Rated NPR!

Episode 7 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!

In this episode, Rinna and Chi sit down with Cleolinda Jones, author of Movies in Fifteen Minutes and blogger extraordinaire.  While they were supposed to be discussing fandom, Twilight, and writing, in true PFW form, they were all over the map.

Be careful - snark is flammable.  Listen at your own risk.

Episode 6 - Star Trek Uber Geeking; TNG, The Defector

poufwa11.png

Episode 6 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released…again!

In this episode, Ryan, Aaron, Kezza, Alicia, and Dan present a commentary for the tremendously layered and well-received tenth episode of Star Trek:  The Next Generation’s third season, The Defector. 

The Enterprise grants asylum to a defector from the Romulan Empire.

There’s a bit more to it than that, but you get the idea.  In addition to our standard commentary, we also geek out on everything Trek.  Novice Dan was seeking a restraining order by the third act and even Kezza didn’t know what to make of Aaron and me.   Consider this a warmup for our next Trek Exchange, which will feature a very special guest and super-duper-uber-geeking.   Baby steps, kids.  Baby steps.

Happy listening!

Episode 5 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!

In this episode, Ryan, Julia, Mike, and PS kick off a Poufwa rewatch of Aaron Sorkin’s, The West Wing offering commentary for the popular first season episode, In Excelsis Deo

Toby tries to arrange a proper funeral for a homeless veteran; Josh and Sam try to set up a preemptive strike against Lillienfield, who is attacking Leo because of his prior drug and alcohol problem; CJ tries to get the staff to revisit the hate crimes issue; Bartlet sneaks out to do some last minute shopping.

In this episode, Julia and Ryan totally geek out on just about everything, PS ships Leo, Mike calls Toby a bastard, and Ryan lunges at him right there on the podcast!  We also compare and contrast the characters of Josh and Toby, tell Mandy exactly what we think of her, and bow at the feet of LadyChi Mrs. Landingham.

Happy listening!

Episode 4 - Twilight geeking, we don’t know chess, and Dave explains first person

poufwa11.png

Episode 4 of the Poufwa Exchange has been released!

Tonight, three Poufwanians give their insight on basically everything in the Twilight series. Over the past couple of years, the Twilight fandom has exploded. Some people compare it to Harry Potter, as we try to do tonight, but there is no comparison — they’re on different levels. As the August 2nd release encroached on us, fans itched for new material from author Stephenie Meyer. 

Join Raesive, Rosworms, and Dave as they analyze new material and speculate on what will happen in Breaking Dawn, the last book of Isabella Swan’s story. We analyze previous book cover designs, the Twilight cover font (Zephyr), the quotes from Meyer’s website. At the end, the hosts predict what will happen in the upcoming book.  (This was recorded on the Monday before the book release.)

Episode 3 has been released!

Tonight, we offer a commentary for the ninth episode of the first season of Heroes, Homecoming.

Events in this episode take place on the day of Claire’s Homecoming game. Claire’s father is growing desperate to stop the villain who is coming after Claire. Nathan gets the painting from Linderman, and is horrified by what it depicts. Mohinder’s dreams hold secrets about his father. Ando waits for Hiro who still has not returned from the past. Peter must try to save the cheerleader and also himself.

This is a continuation of the same recording session from our first episode, with the addition of James, or as I have taken to calling him, Mr. Jen. Prepare to be a fly on the wall of that marriage!

At the time of this release, we have recorded up to episode six with several more recording sessions scheduled for the very near future!

Episode 2 - Helmets, Cabana, and Being More

 poufwa11.png

Episode 2 of Poufwa Exchange has been released!

Tonight, we offer the first of many, many podcasts on Farscape, the scifi classic created and produced by Rockne S. O’Bannon, Brian Henson, and the Jim Henson Creature Shop.  No series has ever been so deeply contemporary and accessible while at the same time being so alien and disorienting.  The five-year storyline is addictive, complete and will leave you surrounded by leather while at the same time feeling deeply for those you have long since forgotten were puppets.  

In tonight’s podcast, Jen, PS and I will provide running commentary of the pilot episode, Premiere.

In the weeks ahead, stay tuned for many additional podcasts on Farscape and Heroes, as well as Star Trek, BattleStar Galactica, Babylon 5, and a special batch of episodes produced by Poufwa members analyzing A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin. Weigh in with your suggestions of future topics and any other comments by visiting our forum!

Episode 1 - Genesis

 poufwa11.png

For the past eighteen months, the PotterFicWeekly community has been a notable exception within the Harry Potter fandom. We get along well and genuinely enjoy each other’s company. Please take a moment to process this information and compose yourselves.

After releasing hundreds and hundreds of hours of fan fiction analysis about a single fandom and the same core set of characters reliving similar circumstances, I understand that we will at one point say all there is to say. Fortunately, our community has a few other topics to touch on before turning out the lights. The Poufwa Exchange represents an opportunity to explore dozens of new genres. Hardcore members and newcomers alike can exchange their favorite TV shows, movies, books, and fan fiction. We’ll watch together and record commentaries, or will debate and discuss with the professionalism you’ve come to expect. This is our podcast, but it’s also yours. Listen along, but be sure to participate. As much as we want to relive our favorites, we want to try new things.

Tonight, we have recorded a commentary for the pilot episode of Heroes, and welcome Richard of Poufwa fame to the show. We believe he’s caught an episode or two.

Happy listening, and if you’d like to participate, visit our forum!
