So a new exploit was out for WordPress and we got hit like many other sites. We’ve yanked out the offending code and have taken steps to avoid getting hit and making it easier for us to remove the nasty code when it does get in. So if you got a warning that this site might hurt your computer that was why and we’ve fixed it.

The first time I saw it was as a headline.  “Buffy the Vampire Slayer Remake”.

The first thing that runs through my head is, “Oh my God, they’re going to let him do season 8 on TV!!!”  Yeah.  No such luck (and honestly, how COULD they?  That comic is fairly epic in scope, and would be a bitch to translate to the TV…)  OK, but still, another Buffy movie!?  Hope SMG has stayed in fighting shape!  And then I continue to read…

Now, I’m not going to dismiss the movie yet, just because they aren’t going to do exactly what I want them to do.  That would be silly.  However, isn’t it also silly to make a Buffy movie without Joss Whedon?!  C’MON, people?!  He’s Joss!  She’s Buffy!  They go together like peanut butter and jelly!!!  How can you do one without the other?

Apparently, Fran Rubel Kuzui and her husband, Kaz Kuzui, the directors of the first Buffy movie, are planning on making number two.  However, they “have yet to reach out to Joss”.  OK, well what are you waiting for?!  Don’t they realize that the only reason anyone watches their movie at all is because they became rabid fans due to the Buffy TV series?!

On top of no Joss, neither will we have Xander, Willow, Giles and it sounds like we may not even have a Buffy…from what I’ve been able to put together so far, the producers want to continue in the “every generation has their own slayer” theme and move onto an entirely different cast.  I suppose that would actually be for the best, considering the amount of baggage that people have for Buffy herself, but the last thing we need is another lame “Twilight” wannabe.

Joss’ response is, of course, classy and awesome.  “I hope it’s cool.” he is quoted as saying.

Me too, Joss.  (But, I kinda doubt it will be…)

Return To The Scene Of The Crime

The episode is fantastic and I highly recommend all our listeners listen to the whole thing. I got a special kick out of watching Ira Glass running the board during the live show and seeing parallels to my fiddling with our soundboard while we’re recording The Watchercast.

So for those who want to just jump into it skip to 27:48 into the episode when the start act two and Ira runs a short clip from Dr. Horrible and introduces Joss. At 33:02 Joss Whedon takes the stage and sings one of the songs from the musical director’s commentary of Dr. Horrible’s DVD.

As Joss continued his song I sunk down a little deeper in seat and thought to myself “I’m glad we didn’t make Watchercast T-shirts….”

Thanks Alice!

I wanted to let everyone know what’s going on with the cast. In the last few months there have seen some big happenings with us and are lives.

We know you guys have had to wait a long time between episodes of The Watchercast and that’s not something that we’ve done on purpose. We’ve heard you and are working out our schedules so we can reliably release episodes every two weeks.
