Dollhouse trailer and the “Halloween Post-Game”

Tag: AllTroy @ 8:31 pm

Hey all! As per usual, I’ve listened to the finished podcast and realized that we had left out pretty much everything that we promised to put into the show notes. So, let’s try and fix that, shall we?

SpongeBob Brown-eye?First up, “TurdBoy Brown-Eye”. I’ve included a screen shot of the poor kid…and I’m still not sure what he’s supposed to be. It’s so sad. What kind of whacked out parent sews eyes and a mouth on a potato sack, and completes the look with two brown oven mitts for Halloween? Only on the Hellmouth, people. I’ve tried to look up the character that Kathleen and Jason were talking about in the Watchercast episode but I can’t find anything on a brown pillow in Willow’s room anywhere on Google…anybody else know what they might be talking about?

Next, we also mentioned an article about how the FCC was OK with nudity on TV, as long as it’s Alyson Hannigan. We, at the Watchercast, heartily agree.

Finally, here is the link to Podcamp Ohio, which is also included on the sidebar to the right. PodCamp Ohio will be held at the ITT Technical Institute in Hilliard, Ohio on June 28, 2008 from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM. I would love to run into any of our listeners there!

Finally, we didn’t mention it on the episode, but Joss’ new show, Dollhouse, has a trailer out online that looks just great! I can’t wait!

Update! So, Kathleen remembered that the pillow that she and Jason were talking about showed up in the episode “The Body”, so I hit компютриScreenCap-Paradise.com, and there it was!

What’s more, one of you guys knew exactly what Jason and Kathleen were talking about! Brent E. Engle had a comment waiting for me when I was preparing this update (in the comments for the Halloween episode)

The doll the Whedons love so much is called (in English) ‘Burnt Bun Boy’. In his native language, it’s ‘Kogepan’. (Thanks, Brent!)

A quick Google Image search verifies that is, indeed, exactly the same character as the pillow. Brent also speculates that turd boy isn’t supposed to represent Kogepan, and the fact that the costume has pupils seems to back that up. So, it must be, indeed, SpongeBob Turd-Boy as Jason states in the episode.

(I have no idea why this became such a big deal…I was just totally intrigued by the whole thing!)

    Hey guys, just wanted to say great show! I stumbled across it during one of those late night barely awake internet searches and I am so glad I did. I have one thing that I’d like to get your opinions on. You’ve said in previous casts why you think Jesse needed to be killed off. I get that, but why do you think he was never mentioned after the first few episodes? It seemed like Jesse, Willow, and Xander were kind of close before Buffy came to town. You would think that Xander would have something to say about staking his best friend… Personally, I always thought that was why Xander hated Angel and Spike so much. He was told that the ‘thing’ he killed wasn’t his friend, and vampires must be dusted, and yet here are two guys who are able to walk around stake-free. The same goes for Buffy’s friend in ‘Lie to Me.’ Never spoken of again. Even most hardcore Buffy fans don’t remember his name! Do you think that these two are not talked about is because they were killed by vamps? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
    Again, I am really enjoying the cast!

    I think turd boy is supposed to be Arthur minus the glasses.
