WarGames: Spoilers Podcast 004

This will be a true geek commentary. We're covering John Badham's 1983 film, WarGames, starring Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman, John Wood and Ally Sheedy. Your commentators as usual are Bill Douthett and myself, Rick Yaeger, but we will be channelling our "alternate identities" more on this commentary than we have previously. Bill is better known as Digital Bill from the podcast "the Wizards of Technology" and "The Update Wizard" and I have my own web site for Macintosh professionals at MacMerc.com.

The Spoilers will not be geeking unassisted this time around. We have enlisted the help of another technology expert and movie buff, Andy Ihnatko. Andy is best known for his technology column in The Chicago Sun-Times as well as Macworld Magazine's back-page opinion articles. If you doubt is movie commenting powers, consider that Roger Ebert credits him for writing "at least a third" of his Ebert's Little Movie Glossary (highly recommended little book) In short, whether it's technology or cinema, Andy knows his stuff and we are thrilled to have him as our guest on this commentary.

Also new for this podcast, we will not be providing notes on the website. We had intended to--we did the research. We even tried to pepper the commentary with it every so often, but once Andy got going it was hard to jump in to talk about some bit of trivia that was not nearly as interesting as what he was saying...or singing. We ended up just winging it and having a hell of a good time. Hope you do too.
