The MovieZeal Podcast – Episode 5 – Brothers
Remember that “new exciting thing” I mentioned a while back? No? You mean you don’t read every ounce of wordsmithing I bleed upon these here internets? For shame. Truly, for shame. All that aside, I’m proud to announce the launch of the official MovieZeal Podcast. We’ve been hard at work fine-tuning this puppy for maximum listenability, and now we’re ready for the big show. Every other week (we’re going to do this bi-weekly, at least at first) you can hear myself, Luke Harrington, and our lovely wine diva Heather Hall (we figured we needed some feminine input) converse eloquently (or not) on all things filmic. Rather than opting for the standard podcasting format, we’ve tweaked the structure in ways that are (hopefully) interesting.
1. Each week we choose a theme. This week’s, as you can see below, is “Brothers.”
2. We pick a theatrical release based on that theme. This week it’s Burn After Reading, chosen because of the siblings behind the camera.
3. We select a wine based on the theme. Wait…a what? Yes, we drink wine on our podcast. Luke and I are ignorant in the art of the vine, but wine guru Heather has been whipping us into shape.
4. Our final segment is called The Gauntlet, where one of us forces another one to watch a film we think they will hate. You win if they hate it; you lose if they end up loving it (it’s the new game everyone is talking about!). This week we had Heather watch No Country For Old Men, anticipating that her delicate nature would be horrified by Anton Chigurh.
Additionally, we’re launching with Episode 5. Four of them are already in the can, but we wanted to get a little practice in as well as prove that we’re taking this seriously. I will post the first four episodes tomorrow in a single block and you can peruse them at your convenience. Also, we welcome feedback. Sound off in the comments section or write us at podcast [at] moviezeal [dot] com. Actually, do write us. We want to read your emails (especially if they’re nasty) on the next episode.
The podcast is directly embedded into the page for ease of listening, you can have it pop-up in its own window if your little heart desires it, or you can download it and stick it on your iPod or preferred MP3 listening doohicky. Once I get my act together I’ll have it all set up through iTunes and you can subscribe that way (that’s how I listen to my podcasts).

Listened to your show at work. Good job. I especially liked the wig story (no not film related, but funny’s funny). It had decent sound, and was wondering what kind of recording set up you guys rigged up. Just to see if there is anything my podcast might improve with.

Glad there is some interest in this. By all means, feel free to give us feedback on what you enjoyed, what could be better, etc.
Haiku Girl, I’ve listened to your podcast a few times, and your sound isn’t too bad at all. Ours is a bit flukey – I’m still learning how to work our recorder. We’re using the Zoom H2, a nifty little standalone recorder, that can do 4 channel sound and records a .wav file directly onto an SD card. It’s not the most professional setup, but we were limited by budget, and I wanted to keep things simple. We just set it up in the middle of a table and talk around it.

“Just one my pastorly friend, just one.”
I am mightily disappointed.

Cool, we use H2’s and H4’s. Good stuff for the price. You guys really have decent sound for being such a young podcast. The first few Mad about Movies podcast had horrid sound quality). Biggest improvement we have made lately is pop screens for the microphones. (panty hose over embrodiery hoops, packing crate steel arms and bulldog clamps) amazing what $3.00 worth of junk can make.

Evan, you seem to have forgotten that Rick is Presbyterian.
