Se4 Ep16 "Mr. Yin Presents"

This is the 2nd part/episode of the Yang/Yin trilogy that is very Hitchcockian themed. One of if not the most impressive episodes visually among other things. So we had a fair amount to say about it of course. It also saw apparently the demise of Mary along with the return of course of Ally Sheedy and Rachel Leigh Cook. RLC who knows if this is her last episode given Shawn and Abigail are broken up, but if so, it was a memorable way to go out.

I suppose in a few months when the final episode/part of the trilogy is shown in the 5th Season finale, it might be worth putting all 3 of these podcasts together. Or maybe do 1 extensive podcast in the offseason about the whole trilogy story if it warrants it.

The Jeri Ryan Shark episode. Michael Hogan, whose been on a lot of shows ever since Battlestar Galactica (2003) finished, also was on this one.

this is the episode with Bruce Davison and the Think Tank, obviously. Shawn was sort of in a slump on this. John and I still wonder if the voice in the John Cena episode could be connected to Bruce Davison's character, given he knows all that stuff about both Shawn and Gus.

The guest stars are pretty good besides Davison, with Sandra Hess, Miguel Ferrer, and Chris Sarandon, who in a slightly related note. I noticed the other day, about a Fright Night remake is being made starring David Tennant and Colin Farrell. Maybe he'll end up in a cameo in it.

Se4 Ep13 "Death Is in the Air"

This is the virus episode with Judd Nelson. And the writers milked the corn nuts reference. John as you can tell, is less than impressed with the corn nuts and Judd Nelson's work on this. It's unfortunate since going-in, it looked rather cool to notice Judd Nelson showing up, and the show adding to their brat-pack alumni of guest-stars.

Se4 Ep11 "Thrill Seekers and Hell Raisers"

This is the Extreme Sports episode where Gus introduces his girlfriend to Shawn. Of course since this, we haven't heard a word about Sarah Shahi's character at all, lol. And in this past week's episode (Shawn 2.0) Gus mentions he's dating someone new, but I'd assume it wasn't her.

Like Gary Cole and Cybil Shepherd, the Sarah Shahi's absence remains a mystery to us fans. At least in Shawn 2.0 they brought back Gina (from Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark) so they are getting better with bringing some characters/actors back.

-This episode as I mentioned, almost reminded of Dennis Hopper/Crispin Glover/Keanu Reeveas late 80's film The Rivers Edge
-This episode could have been titled "Murder With Stu"

This podcast was recorded on Easter Sunday April 7th, 2010. And I thought it was a double with the Ray Wise episode that originally aired before it. But alas, not the case having now relistened to it. It was kind of a short one as I recall we didn't exactly have a ton of time and/or we may have recorded 1 or 2 others that afternoon, so it's truncated at this point. But due to another out-of-balance and John's nasal breathing on the mic, it's probably for the best.

James + Maggie = Kevin Pollak Show

I'm not sure if this has been talked about a lot, namely during the downtime between Season 4 and the current 5th Season, but I just stumbled upon this for the 1st time tonight.

It's a web talk show Kevin Pollak does, live on Sundays I guess. And it also includes the hilarious Samm Levine (Freaks and Geeks).

Shules or whatever you want to call them, appeared back in April sometime. It's a rather nice conversation with both James and Maggie's background. And it's also mentioned how Kevin and Samm may find their way onto an episode of Psych, which would be awesome.

James and Maggie appear about 18 minutes into the show.



based on some of the other guests, I probably will have to go back to Kevin Pollak's youtube page and watch some of the others, even as long as they are. Neil Patrick-Harris, LeVar Burton and some others. And Bryan Cranston and Jason Alexander are scheduled in the coming weeks/months. I suppose with Kevin Pollak and Samm Levine together, the one obvious guest that would be perfect would be William Shatner. Perhaps that will happen, and/or Kevin Pollak will show up on Shatner's talk show Raw Nerve on the Biography channel as well. (Kevin Pollak and Samm Levine are noted at doing William Shatner impersonations. Jason Alexander as well actually).

I suppose some words about this appearance may come in one of our future podcasts as well.
