The Fine Bros

Last night Crix was joined by guest co-host and friend Jenni Powell, one of the hosts of the popular podcast Knights of The Guild.  The ladies were very excited to spend the hour with the very charming and very talented Benny and Rafi Fine, aka The Fine Brothers, currently best known for "Prop 8: The Web Series", the "LOST" parodies, and their new web series "My Profile Story" for Comedy Central/atom.com.

Benny and Rafi gave advice about what makes for a successful web series, the recent "LOST controversy", their two new web series "Prop 8: The Web Series" and "My Profile Story". They also talked to a *ahem* 'fangirl' caller...

These two brothers will be around for a long time, and we couldn't be happier!

Zombies

we were joined in studio by our good friend and awesome cat Chris Gore, founder of FilmThreat.com and DVD Duesday host for G4's Attack of the Show.  in his usual fashion, Gore arrived late...but made up for it with awesome stories and we got to meet his date. we talked about zombies, our mutual love of Rock Band (ps. we ARE going for it and we're gonna film it) and what makes a good zombie movie/show.

it was madness...pure madness, I tell you.

being 'The Bad Guy'

Co-host Jared was out sick, so Amra 'Flitz' Ricketts rode shotgun and James 'Kuda' Gilstrap (both from Nerdiest-Kids.com) was the show's first 'fanguest'.

tonight they were joined by actor Ken Lally, best known as The German from "Heroes" and his voiceover/motion capture work in the video game industry, most recently doing motion capture as Albert Wesker for Resident Evil 5.

wild times and a ton of laughs were had as the panel discussed what makes a good villain, misconceptions cleared up, taking a punch, Ken's time on Heroes, being in RE 5 and his fear of zombies, how many accents they could get him to do, and a whole lotta other things under the sun.

That Guy

one of the most famous "That Guy" character actors and all around awesome dude J.P. Manoux (Phil of the Future, ER, Fruit of the Loom Green Grapes, the robot from Eurotrip) stopped by the studio to talk about his role as Stan the Android on the new Disney XD show, Aaron Stone. We couldn't let him go without talking about his run as The Naked Armenian on "Reno 911", being Not Moby, voiceover work in cartoons and video games, his weird connection with co-host Jared, and the 5 billion commercials he's appeared in. Plus he made Crix blush by giving her a gift as well and for the first time on our show, swag giveaway!

you can catch J.P. weekly on the Disney XD channel's "Aaron Stone", as the Green Grapes in the Fruit of the Loom commercials, and in repeats of Phil of the Future (as Curtis the Caveman and Vice Principal Hackett) and as Kuzco in the animated hit "The Emperor's New School" on the Disney Channel.
