The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 39: Aliens!
Thursday Apr 07, 2016
Thursday Apr 07, 2016
We get into close encounters of all kinds this week on The Lucky Ten Thousand. Well, really just the alien kinds. UFOs, extra-terrestrials, string theory: it's all here. Come with us on a universal adventure. We promise not to anally probe you. Unless you're into that.
Recorded live in Evan's studio, our intrepid hosts are back together again in a face-to-face encounter of their own for the first of a series of very special episodes from the Bearded Pods Network. Stay tuned for more!

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 32: Shit Sharks Do, and Other Movie Inaccuracies
Wednesday Feb 10, 2016
Wednesday Feb 10, 2016
You know all those "little details" movie and tv producers just get WRONG? The ones that make your otherwise enjoyable movie or tv show slightly less enjoyable - or worse, downright unwatchable? Yeah those. This week we bring back fan favorite friend of the show Winston to help us ruin your movies for you by pointing out all the things in some of our favorite (and least favorite) productions which the makers just screwed up. Covering editing mistakes, historical inaccuracies, and just plain fuck-ups, we leave no sacred cow untipped.
What are your pet peeve mistakes from movies or TV? Email us, tweet at us, or leave a 5-star review to have your grievances aired.

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 27: Shootin' the Shit
Wednesday Jan 06, 2016
Wednesday Jan 06, 2016
We don't do it often, but to kick off the new year we wanted to just kind of talk to each other about 'stuff'. Carissa announces her resolution and waxes poetic about the touching effect of Bob Ross on Twitch chatters, while Evan reflects on Red Dead Redemption and the things we love despite all contrary public opinion. Hollywood gets a nice reaming for its neoconservative values and alien view of the real world. Just for the hell of it, we talk limericks and anti-limericks, and would like to invite our beloved listeners to send us their favorite dirty limericks.

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 26: Obligatory Yearly Roundup
Wednesday Dec 30, 2015
Wednesday Dec 30, 2015
2015 is coming to a close and so, as we approach the beginning of the year when those born at the turn of the millennium will be driving cars, Evan and Carissa take a look back - as many others are doing - at the halfway point of the Twenty-Teens.
The best (and a couple of the worst) in science, tech, medicine, movies, tv, and games of the year all get a nod. Then we take a look forward to hope for the best to come in the approaching year. We know everyone is doing a year-in-review, but naturally we think ours is the best.
Have a safe and happy New Year's Eve celebration, everyone, and we'll catch you in a week!

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 25: Holiday Grab Bag
Wednesday Dec 23, 2015
Wednesday Dec 23, 2015
Christmas is nigh, and our hosts take this opportunity to reach into the stocking and pull out all the random goodies they can find. We talk SPOILER-FREE about The Force Awakens, wax cautiously optimistic about the Warcraft movie, rant about the (not-so) casual racism in the prequels, contemplate fun things to do with Harry Potter's wang - er, wand - and have some general silliness with Star Wars Mad Libs.
Big shouts out to the gents at the Wikishuffle podcast and to the nerdcore group 2d6.
We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 24: Star Wars Nerd Rage and Trivia
Wednesday Dec 16, 2015
Wednesday Dec 16, 2015
Tomorrow, as we all know, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens hits general release. We were remiss in raging about the second two prequels, so we get that out of the way because we are people of our word.
Then Trivia! How much does Evan remember about the minutiae of the Star Wars movies? Carissa quizzes him to find out. Play along at home, test your own memory, and see if you get to feel smug about how much Star Wars trivia you know. With many huge thanks to the Geeks Who Drink for their inspiration from the Let The Wookie Win national pub quiz last Saturday.
Send us your quiz scores so everyone can be suitably impressed, or so others can maybe not feel so bad. :P

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 21: Nostalgia
Wednesday Nov 18, 2015
Wednesday Nov 18, 2015
It's maybe a little cliché, but come along with us as we reminisce about the music, movies, television, and books which influenced us and left the most lasting impressions. Evan and Carissa discuss the pop culture that shaped them - and probably a bunch of you, too - and along the way remember things they had long since forgotten.
Not "only 80s kids will understand", but it might help a little bit. So join us, and perhaps we can remind you of some stuff you loved and lost. Of course we would love to hear from you about any of the cultural influences which left their mark, regardless when your "back in the day" was. Email or tweet us your childhood faves!

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 13: Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace
Wednesday Sep 16, 2015
Wednesday Sep 16, 2015
How's that for an episode title?
After three months, it is finally here: our long-awaited talk on the first of the Star Wars prequels. Talked seemingly to death by nerds and film critics for 16 years now, we take a new stick to this horse and cover both the bad and the good that can be found in The Phantom Menace. And yes, Carissa argues, there is good to be found.
We play devil's advocate for haters, believers, and apologists alike. Irrespective of how you feel about the prequels, there is almost sure to be something you hadn't thought of in our comprehensive geek-out over the first of the three least-beloved entries into the Star Wars oeuvre.
