I have decided that for the two year anniversary of Reel Reviews, it is time to tackle one of my all time favorites: Seven Samurai. For a film guy, this is a big deal; to take on one of the all time greatest films is a commitment. I’ll post it on October 17th, the two-year anniversary of my entry into podcasting. Curious how the whole thing started? Here is the first edition of Reel Reviews: Sam Peckinpah’s original, The Getaway. Unlike many, I have kept up every show, including the always embarrassing #1.
Since I was feeling a little nostalgic – here is my first appearance on the Daily Source Code from September 15th 2004. As you might guess, I am asking audio quality questions. [audio:http://mwgblog.com/audio/DSC_MWG_1.mp3]
By the way, anyone want to hear DSC #1? Being early to the podcast game means I have most podcast pioneer’s episode #1. Last week Dave Slusher and I ended up having a great discussion with some folks at the Portable Media Expo explaining the history of podcasting. It is a bit weird to be an authority on the real history of podcasting. I must say, as exciting as it is now, it was also a great time when it was a small community.
Update: OK, so I got delayed. What else is new? I ordered some new gear for the podcast studio and it has not arrived yet. It is something I’d like to use on this episode. Please be patient.
So interesting to hear the first Reel Reviews. Much the same… but little differences that are more polished now. Nonetheless, for a first show (in the dawn of podcasting) it did more than not suck — it was pretty good. That said, I’m a fan of the Getaway remake with Alec Baldwin.
Yes, I’d like to hear DSC #1. Interesting to hear the older show – where Adam refered to the show as his “audio blog”. 🙂
I don’t know If I said it already but …Hey good stuff…keep up the good work! 🙂 I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks,)
A definite great read….
