LNC Episode 22: Comic Con Madness

The past week has been jam packed with geek news. We divided this episode up into a quick-fire round of general geek headlines followed by an in depth discussion of some of the biggest news to come out of Comic Con.

The Simpsons Cast Will Be Complete

Fox has announced that the entire voice cast for The Simpsons will return next season, including Harry Shearer. Shearer, who voices characters like Mr. Burns and approximately half the cast not voiced by Dan Castellanata, had previously said he would be leaving the show. Apparently, Fox has made Shearer an offer he can't refuse. Likely that offer is, as Rainier Wolfcastle would say, lots and lots of money.

You can read more about it at NBC News. Which seems weird to me since it's a Fox thing, but whatever.

LNC Episode 21: Giant Robot Battles Are Go!

From a robotic conflict between the USA and Japan to a famous Star Wars cockpit at 1/6th scale, Jonathan and Ariel tackle the geek news of the week.
