...is the name of the "laser mounted in a B-1" project. At last report they had managed to get the laser to work at the power level required, but so far they haven't actually shot it at anything or put it in an aircraft. edit: Turns out that the company I work for recently bought the company that's making the laser; and the company that's making the laser is credited in this movie!

PS that flying sphere-thing that Val Kilmer plays with in the beginning of the movie is a real thing, now, as well: http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2011-10/video-japans-new-ball-shaped-drone-wows-crowds-tokyo

I don't know if I really got across the fact that the jargon in this movie is actually real stuff, not just made up science-y word salad. I mean, the actors obviously didn't know what any of it meant, but whoever wrote the stuff did. (And good job on them for actually getting it into the movie, as opposed to someone saying "all this is boring and confusing, cut it out so we can have more jokes!")

Not sure if you mentioned

Not sure if you mentioned this in the podcast (because I am to lazy to hear it right now) but Robert Woodhead (aka Head Honcho at AnimEigo) made a cameo in this movie, according to Wikipedia. I would assume because Wizardry at the time was a huge hit in the home market.

Sayin' Stuff!

Boy, that iTunes reviewer is gonna HATE this episode!

Speaking of hate, if Pockit (?) hates how inaccurate college is portrayed in this movie, keep him away from Community.

Speaking of Hate, Glenn Beck actually has his own internet network. I guess for people who are into whatever the hell he's babbling, they watch the content on his site.

Oh, I'd like to ask a question, and due to the censorship on this site, I don't want to harm the eyes of the theoretical children and families who visit this site.

I think it's time to rename the podcast "Zuey's Tit Sweat"

Yo Joe Cola, I have removed your abusive comment. Do NOT talk about people that way on our show. Your misogynistic comments are unwelcome.

Hypocrites?

Yo Joe Cola, wherever you are, I just read your deleted comment. There is no reason to attack me like you did. Friends can obviously be sarcastic sometimes with one another but whoa there buddy, we are not going to be friends. ::tear::
