BSGcast Frak-Party and Prop Auction

December 11th, 2008


We’ve got some big news for you! The BSGcast LIVE Frak-Party on January 16-17 is not only happening at the same place as the PROPWORX Battlestar Galactica Prop Auction, but now we’ve got special exclusive PREVIEW access to the auction items on Friday before the bidding even begins! That means everyone who makes it out to Pasadena for the Frak Party on Friday January 16th will get to spend the afternoon up-close and personal with costumes, set pieces, and even full-size props like Apollo’s Viper! And we’ll have access to the Propworx auction ALL WEEKEND LONG! How bad-ass is that?

On top of our exclusive preview of the items on Friday, we’ll have the heads of departments like costume and props attending our Official Cast and Crew Premiere Screening on January 16th, as well as our Q&A sessions and soirees all weekend, so you can pick their brains for colourful anecdotes, get autographs and take lots of pictures!

As of now, we’ve got our Vegas Alumni Luciana Carro and Dr. Kevin Grazier confirmed for January 16th+17, as well as the one and only Richard Hatch! We’re also still chatting with Tricia, Tahmoh and Kandyse’s people to get them there too… it IS L.A. afterall, and they’re usually right there! Just like in Vegas, we’ll be running silent auctions with proceeds going toward our special guests’ favourite charities!

PARTY DETAILS:
When:
January 16: Auction Preview 11am-5pm, Cocktails 5pm-8pm, Webisode and Revelations Screenings 8pm-10pm, Premiere 10pm SHARP!
January 17: Cocktails 5pm-8pm, Screenings 8pm-10pm, BSGcast Silent Auction closes 10pm

Where:
Pasadena Conference Center Sheraton

To lock-up a spot for yourself at the Frak-Party, hit up the FACEBOOK EVENT and confirm your attendance. Space is very limited, just like last year, so we’ll be working from the Facebook list!

We’re SO jazzed about hosting the Official Battlestar Galactica Cast and Crew Premiere on Friday night at 10 both Commercial-free AND in HD! We can’t wait to get to see you in person and hang out for our last celebration of Battlestar Galactica!

REVISIT: BSGcast’s “Earth Explored”

December 9th, 2008


Our last regularly scheduled episode until 2009, this was a very special episode of BSGast where we examined the single biggest mind-frak Ron has yet to unleash on us: Earth. When is it? What’s happened? Is it really earth? Was that the Brooklyn Bridge? Why is Baltar so awesome? Matt and Nat give a shot at all those questions, and then some to help spark even more debate on what the hell is going on!?

REVISIT: BSGcast: 4.12 “Revelations”

December 8th, 2008


Flashback to mid-2008, this is what we signed up for: we were cliffhung like no other show on TV can do… in fact, cliffhung in a way Ron Moore has never done before, Revelations made the back half of 2008 go by REALLY slowly!

AND we announced the winner of the Ozma-7 Headphones AND tell you what’s in store as the Grand Prize for our giveaway in the back half of Season 4!

Hungry for more BSGcast? Don’t you worry, we’ve got a very special announcement about the Battlestar Galactica Prop Auction and our January 16+17 Frak-Party! Stay tuned…

Variety: Caprica Series is a GO!

December 2nd, 2008

We had originally heard that NBC/Universal would be waiting to see how the ratings for the pilot movie turned out, but it looks like we’re getting an early Christmas present: a Greenlight on the Caprica series!

Production is set to begin in the middle of 2009 in Vancouver, with the plan to have the series hit TV’s in early 2010 with the same core of writers that brought us our beloved Battlestar Galactica!

Take a look at what Variety had to say today at Variety.com!

So it looks like our Capricast has a Greenlight now, too!

Season 4.0 on DVD - January 6 2009

October 8th, 2008

The U.S. release date for the first half of Season 4 is now officially January 6, 2009. So I guess we’re back to buying the season piece-meal like we did for Season 2. If that doesn’t burn your bacon at least a little, Razor (both aired and longer DVD cuts) will be included. So congrats on buying a copy last November just like we did :P

We’ll be getting deleted scenes, Ron’s PodCasts, Eick’s videoBlogs, a series of featurettes with some ominous names like “Cylons: The Twelve” and “Season 4.5: The Untold Story - Untold” as well as a commentary on the extended edit of Razor.

Since there never was a full version of Season 2.0 and 2.5 like some of us speculated, it’s a pretty safe bet that this will be the definitive version of the front 10 episodes of Season 4, so it’s a must have for the collection. Just try and sell last year’s Razor DVD on eBay before everyone else figures it out!

FAN EXPO: Q&A with Edward James Olmos - Part 1

August 22nd, 2008


Eddie and Aaron did a Q&A Session at Fan Expo Canada on Sunday, as well as signed autographs and chatted with fans. Last year we got to shoot Tricia Helfer’s Q&A and posted it here, and good news, we’ll be ding the same for this one! It was a good session… and LONG. So we’ll break it up into 3 parts and post it up here ASAP!

Thanks to everyone who stopped us and said hi while were rocking out SAVE BALTAR T-Shirts at the show! Aaron was pretty taken aback by Nat in hers :)

~Matt + Nat

PS. We’d love to give a special thank-you to Ryan Fox from www.RGBfilter.com for asking about Eddie and Aaron’s take on the bar scene from Escape Velocity!
