Listen Live Tonight

Don’t forget to tune in live tonight to our live broadcast of The MovieByte Podcast. We’ll be talking about Spielberg’s Hook for Favorite Fun Futon Films for February. I’ll probably also mention Identity Thief, which I (regretfully) saw this past weekend. And who knows what else we might talk about, a lot of trailers and clips this week and we’ll be giving our thoughts and the like.

If you want to have some influence on the show and what we talk about, be sure to tune in live where you can join us in the chatroom and talk with us and other listeners. We’ll be keeping an eye out for you…

Chatting Up Star Wars

Chatting Up Star Wars

Don’t forget that tonight we’ll be chatting up the original Star Wars, among other things, to kick off our Favorite Fun Futon Films for February. You won’t want to miss out on that! You can tune in live at 6:30 PM Central Time, join the live chat, interact with us as we do the show, and throw popcorn at your computer screen as I talk about the things I may not have liked about the old classic, and Joe defends it from my perceived obtuseness. Rest assured it will be a lot of fun. I mean seriously, who doesn’t like Star Wars?

Get in on the action! And don’t forget to share with your…

Favorite Fun Futon Films for February

Favorite Fun Futon Films for February

Alright guys, I know we said we were going to talk about The Wrath of Kahn on this week’s episode of The MovieByte Podcast, but we’re changing it up a little. From my conversations with Joe, I am not at all convinced that I will be satisfied with an episode talking about that film with only Joe and myself.

I am trying to lock down a guest that I think may help me out a little for such an awesome film and once I have him we’ll do a Wrath of Kahn episode then. It will probably be a special insert episode and will broadcast live at a different time so keep your eyes open for that.

Giveaway Winner Announced Tonight!

Giveaway Winner Announced Tonight!

This is it. Finally! At long last!

The new year has been a bit crazy, but we have drawn a name and chosen a winner for our HD TV giveaway. But we aren’t going to announce it right at this moment. We like our drama. We have that flare for the dramatic you know.

We will be unveiling the winner tonight, live on the podcast. And yes, we are devious enough that we will make you wait until nearly the end of the episode because we want you to listen to the whole thing! You just never know what time that might be so you’ll have to hear us talk about Django Unchained. But that’s alright, we…

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

The holidays are upon us! There’s Christmas in the air.

Between now and the 26th, the site is going to be pretty quiet. For me, I have an all day Christmas event at Church on Saturday, a big day of worship and a special service on Sunday, traveling on Monday, and a big family Christmas day on Tuesday.

I don’t know Joseph’s exact plans, but I know he will be busy with family and friends as well.

We’ll be back to a semi-normal schedule on Wednesday where we’ll post a few things, and of course, record The MovieByte Podcast live at 6:30 PM Central Time. We hope you’ll join us then.

Live Broadcast — In a Starship Lived a Hobbit…

Live Broadcast — In a Starship Lived a Hobbit…

Be sure to tune in tonight to the live broadcast for yet another exciting and very special episode of The MovieByte Podcast. We’ll be joined by some very special guests. First up will be Anthony Pascale of TrekMovie.com to talk about the Star Trek trailer, and the nine minute Star Trek preview available to IMAX viewers of The Hobbit. That should be a lot of fun.

Then we’ll be joined by none other than Clark Douglas, radio station manager of WHIE in Griffin GA, and host of The Sounds and Sights of Cinema podcast, and a new guest, Marcus Pitman. We’ll be discussing The Hobbit, and I expect…

Technical Explanations

Technical Explanations

Forgive me as I indulge myself in some explanation for why we suddenly went silent for over 24 hours. And please, upfront, accept my apologies, we’ll try not to let it happen again.

Nerd Details Follow (feel free to ignore)

If you are geek or nerd, you may want to know what happened. Here is the short version. MovieByte’s server environment has always been somewhat challenging. We are hosted on the same server with several other sites owned by the parent company, Liberty Alliance, which utilizes Varnish cacheing, and load balancing across several actual servers. I’ve never worked with a…
