Emma Gray Munthe gästar detta avsnitt av Voccine. Hon berättar om hennes intryck från filmfestivalen i Cannes och går igenom sina bästa och sämsta filmupplevelser.

Men vi börjar med en diskussion om SciFi och senaste Star Trek filmen som slutar med en konversation om backlash. Christina, Tomas och Emma kommer fram till att kvinnoroller som i ett par år har fått vara starka filmerna igenom, nu har gått tillbaka till att endast få börja som kick-ass men sluta som sidekicks.

I veckans Voccine återvänder vi till Oscarsgalan och pratar om våra intryck av galans nya “format”, och hur gick det för i Voccine pollen?

Voccine diskuterar också Jimmy Fallons premiär och ifrågasätter valet av Fallon som ny talk show host, hans val av premiärgäst, hans generiska monolog. Ja, vi ifrågasätter allt helt enkelt! Dollhouse diskuteras och vi ser en trend kring personlighets-förvirring i drama-serier just nu.

Vi pratar också Star Wars och fanboys. Vi har också gjort en intervju med dokumentärfilmaren Alexandre Philippe. Han gör en film om Star Wars-skaparen George Lucas med beräknad premiär 2010. George Lucas är en av världens mest älskade men även hatade filmskapare och den ilska fans och kritiker hyser mot honom är ett popkulturellt fenomen i sig. Är han ett geni eller en ”merchandising” skurk som krängt plastskit på barn sen 70 talet? I filmen The People vs George Lucas undersöker Philippe det passionerade känslorna som folk har, för emot George Lucas och hans filmer.

Voccine Nr 42 – Nyårskrönika 2008

Christina Jeurling och Tomas Seo sammanfattar TV året 2008 i Voccine podcasts helgspecial. 2008 var ett turbulent år för TV med writers strike, lågkonjunktur och ett spännande valår som ställde allt på sin spets.

Voccine pratar om att dom ”gamla” serierna som Mad Men, House och 30 Rock fortfarande höll under det gångna året medan de flesta av dom nya serierna som t.ex. Fringe och 90210 var besvikelser.

2009 ser ut att bli ett mycket spännande år då vi bl.a ser återkomsten av Buffy-skaparen Joss Whedon med sin nya serie Dollhouse. Jay Lenos överraskande besked att han stannar på NBC och sänder på nya prime time tiden vardagar kl 22 innebär stora förändringar för TV-tablån, som Voccine ser det. Fem drama serier som försvinner och tre timmar ”snack TV” per kväll på kanalen. Den gamla devisen stämmer alltså ”talk is cheap”.

Gott Nytt år önskar Voccine!

Welcome to part two of the Voccine Buffy special with Christina Jeurling and Tomas Seo. Here we continue the discussion on Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s place in the pop culture zeitgeist and talk about why the series has become a serious subject to study at university.

We start to discuss the different approaches to the vampire myth in Joss Whedon’s Buffyverse and Alan Ball’s adaptation of True Blood.

In this episode we have interviewed Dr. Rhonda Wilcox, Professor of English at Gordon College in Georgia, the coeditor of Slayage: The Online International Journal of Buffy Studies and the founding editor of Critical Studies in Television: Scholarly Studies in Small Screen Fictions.

So what happened after the Buffy series ended? Tomas and Christina discuss life after Buffy, like the season 8 comic book, the Dr Horrible project and track the careers of some of the Buffy actors, writers and creators.

We have also interviewed Scott Allie, writer and editor at Dark Horse Comics and editor of the Buffy Season 8 comic books. Joss Whedon is the Executive Producer and writer of several of the season 8 comics and many of the Buffy writers are also on board including Jane Espenson and Steven DeKnight. Scott Allie is now hard at work adapting Robert E. Howard’s (creator of Conan the Barbarian) Solomon Kane adventures.

The second Buffy Special also includes part two of our interview with writer/producer Steven DeKnight, his life after Buffy: Angel, Smallville, Dollhouse and beyond!

The Voccine Buffy special is finally here! Christina Jeurling and Tomas Seo take you on an almost three hour Buffy extravaganza, jam-packed with interviews, banter and discussions about Buffy and the series place in the pop culture world.

Who is creator Joss Whedon? What was the Buffy writers room like? How has Buffy influenced other series such as Gossip Girl and Veronica Mars? And why is Buffy just plain fun? These are just some of the discussions in this first installment of the Voccine Buffy Special.

In part 1 we are honored to interview writer, director, producer Steven DeKnight and English Professor Michael Adams

Steven DeKnight knows just about everything there is to know about the Joss Whedon writing room. Not only was Mr DeKnight a writer on Buffy, he also wrote for Angel and directed several episodes of the series. He is now a consulting producer on Whedons new series Dollhouse, premiering in January 2009.

Professor Michael Adams of Indiana University is a historian of the English language, a lexicographer and an author of many books and scholarly papers. One of his area of study has been jargon and slang and he has authored the book about Buffy-speak called Slayer Slang: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Lexicon.

In a Voccine first we are doing this entire special in english. Enjoy!
