In the inaugural episode of Bubble Pipe Theater, Tommy, John, Tim, and Rob discuss the ‘Baby Monkey (Going Backwards on a Pig)’ phenomenom, a horrible movie called Birdemic, an eerie correlation between Planet of the Apes and Pixar’s Cars franchise, and everyone’s current obsessions. We’re excited to kick off this geek culture podcast, and we hope you bear with us through the first few episodes as we get all the technical details ironed out.

Score one for the geeks. I think I speak for everyone when I say this commercial is full of win. Somehow, imagining Tron Guy making a stop-motion Tron movie in his garage doesn’t require very much suspension of disbelief. At least not as much as imagining him having a wife, that is.

Disney just held the second ‘D23 Expo’ this past weekend in Anaheim, their membership-based fan event, and released a ton of info on upcoming movies.

It definitely sounds like Disney is doing a good job with these conventions.

I know, I know. It’s not technically Pixar, but come on Lasseter, you’re turning into a bit of a hypocrite. Remember the John Lasseter that stormed into Disney when he took command and cancelled all the horrible direct-to-DVD sequels and spin-offs that were in production? Wha’ Happen?

Avengers...disco!
Something we discussed in the first episode of Bubble Pipe Theater (that should go live next week) is the fact that so many photos and videos of next summer’s two biggest movies, The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers, are leaking online like crazy.

That being said, the footage from the ‘Avengers’ set that leaked today featuring Thor and Captain America can be considered spoilerish, so read on after the jump.
