Captain America, Iron Man, and co. are having a big year, not the least of which includes the biggest domestic opening weekend in US history. After grossing $700+ million dollars (as of today; it was "only" $550 million at time of recording), Marvel's Mightiest Heroes have cemented their place in the pantheon of movie history. ...and, quite frankly, it was well deserved.
Dwight Tejano, Sean Sorensen, and Rob "Tek" Piontek assemble to talk about the incredible Joss Whedon flick, The Avengers: what we liked, what we didn't, where it's going, and why the Hulk stole every scene he was in. We also discuss The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the animated series on Disney XD, and how it ties into the ever profitable film franchise.
Get ready, true believers! It's the Fridgecast, episode 12: Avengers Assemble!

WE'RE BAAAACK! It took a long long long long time, but we're finally back with a brand spankin' new episode of the Fridgecast!
The hotly anticipated conclusion to the Mass Effect trilogy came out back in March with Mass Effect 3, and we share our thoughts on the highly-rated and highly-hated controversial game. There's been a ton of discussion about the game, and we're throwing our opinions into the mix.
The verdict is in, so what do our judges have to say? The Honorable Dwight Tejano, Sean Sorensen, and Rob "Tek" Piontek preside.

The summer drought is over!
After a lengthy stretch of time without any notable video games to play, Jay Imhoff, Sean Sorensen, Dwight Tejano, and Rob "Tek" Piontek are faced with a difficult challenge. With so many high-profile games coming up pretty much every week for the next 3 months, which ones are they going to buy?
Jay discusses his thoughts on the Modern Warfare's "Elite Pass." Tek can't wait to (re-)play Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition. Dwight really wants to be Catwoman, and Sean successfully found a way to knock all four of us off the internet. All this and more in a very special Clone High Fridgecast!

Ah, the summer winds down, and so do our schedules. After a whirlwind summer, Kevin Tracy, Amy Mayrhofer, Rob "Tek" Piontek, and Dwight Tejano come together to recount and to regale about the biggest conventions they attended in the past month.
Kevin and Dwight (as I'm sure you know, since you've been keeping up with the blog, right?!?) take a retrospective look at their experiences from San Diego Comic Con International 2011. Keeping their Red Shirts safely tucked away, Amy and Tek reveal anecdotes about their recent jaunt in Vegas for their first time at Creation Entertainment's Star Trek Convention.
Who was the person that made both Kevin's and Dwight's highlight reels from SDCC? Why did Amy, a convention veteran, say that this Star Trek Convention was the best convention she's ever attended? Find out the answer to these questions and more, as the crew takes a look back at the summer and prepares for the next convention ahead (NYCC!)

From the streets of San Diego, mere steps away from the front doors of San Diego Comic Con 2011, another party was happening.
And that party was the Fridgecast.
Kevin Tracy, Victoria Marsden, and Dwight Tejano welcome a very special guest to this podcast: Kristin Rielly, awesomesauce founder of the Geek Girls Network.
We discuss the weekend of craziness that was about to unfold, what not to do when meeting someone you idolize, and our new friend Rick's theories on child-rearing.
But more than that, we have a pretty kick-ass time together.
A million thanks to Kristin -- let's do this again in the future!

This Fridgecast is dedicated to that dangerous "seduction of the innocent" that is the comic book.
Jay Imhoff, Sean Sorensen, Rob "Tek" Piontek, and Dwight Tejano discuss the Marvel and DC summer events, Fear Itself and Flashpoint, respectively. Jay endorses "Kingdom Come," Sean believes in Matt Fraction, Dwight looks at the new #1s for the new DCU 52, and Tek tells us about Wizard World Philadelphia, and, as always, much more!
Fair warning: we laughed a lot in this one. Enjoy!

Every year, the biggest names in the billion-dollar gaming industry gather at the Los Angeles Convention Center to talk one thing: video games. The big three (Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft) flex their collective technical muscles, hoping to catch you and your money in the upcoming fiscal year. The past years have been huge for the gaming industry, and this year is no different.
Microsoft opened the E3 festivities with the first keynote, putting all of their focus solely behind their hands-free Kinect (sans last year's Cirque du Soleil weirdness); Sony unleashed their new handheld, the PS Vita; and Nintendo unveiled the Wii U upon the world. BioWare, Ubisoft, and the dozens of other game studios in attendace also hoped to catch your eye with their titles coming up in the next fiscal.
This week, Dwight Tejano, Kevin Tracy, Rob "Tek" Piontek, and the newlywed Jay Imhoff discuss the news coming out of Los Angeles - both surrounding the hardware and the software. Dwight shows his blend of optimism and skepticism of the new Wii U; Tek can't wait for Halo 4. Jay gushes over Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and Kevin needs to finish Mass Effect. All (well, mainly Jay and Dwight) gives their opinions of the hardware, and all four explain what games they're most excited for and why.
We seek to entertain as well as inform -- and I'm not sure we do either. Enjoy!

It's that time of the year again! Movie studios vie for the coveted title of "biggest summer movie," and they put out their biggest flicks to compete with each other. Even the phrase "summer movie" is a little incorrect these days, as the summer blockbuster movies now begin their onslaught in May, instead of June.
Rob "Tek" Piontek takes point today, leading the discussion with Kevin Tracy, Dwight Tejano, and newcomer Justin Craig. They talk the just-released "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," "Hangover 2," as well as the upcoming "X-Men: First Class," "Green Lantern," "Captain America," "Super 8," and more!
Hope you're ready for the awesome because it's a-comin'! Enjoy!

In this bonus episode of the Fridgecast, Dwight Tejano and special guest, Rob "Stats" Guerrera (of ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike in the Morning) discuss the superhero series Smallville over its decade-long run.
We discuss our initial thoughts of last Friday's series finale and look back to find three of our most favorite and least favorite moments of the years. We also take a look back to how the two of us met and became friends over a little TV series that captured our hearts back in high school.
Do you have a similar Superman story to share? Drop by the comments! Oh, and by the by, in case you haven't seen the episode yet, SPOILERS ABOUND! Enjoy!
PS: Thanks to Mr. Guerrera for making the flight down to DC. We don't exactly live 15 minutes away from each other anymore, but it was terribly appropriate to enjoy Tejano pasta and share the Smallville experience one final time.

Two of us were waking up earlier than we would have liked this morning, so this Fridgecast is a little shorter than normal. It is, however, no less sweet.
Sean Sorensen, our own God of Thunder, Rob "Tek" Piontek, newly coined as Volstagg, and Dwight Tejano, the "Jackie Chan" of our group, discuss the recent release of the 80 million dollar Asgardian tale. Later, Sean and Tek recount their weekend at the intimate, yet enjoyable Boston Comic-Con in Boston's Hynes Convention Center.
Give it a listen! And stay tuned for some special Fridgecasts coming up soon!
