We’re back, and just in time for the holidays–if you’re a last minute podcast shopper, welcome to the world of Upon Further Review! In Episode 52, we thank listeners for feedback and suggestions before moving on to the reviews: first, we contemplate mortality and minor characters as we look at Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead; second, we look at laughter and live audiences (do those go together?) with our review of Saturday Night Live; and finally, we hear the word (lots of them, actually) with our take on The Word Nerds podcast. As always, we appreciate all of your suggestions, feedback and continued support (our audience is continuing to grow!)–and as always, we ask that you pass the good word (as many of them as you like :) ) to others! (As usual, podsafe intro music is provided by Sharif (“You’re My Girl”), outro by David Henderson (“We Gotta Go”).)

This week we deal with gnomes, Grendel, and green creatures from outer space (sort of) in Episode 51 of Upon Further Review! In this episode we thank our listeners and well-wishers before getting into the show: first, we fire up Flamingo Montoya and other garden-protecting gadgets as we review the new computer game (submitted by listener/co-programmer Mike) Garden Defense; second, we wonder openly when Grendel’s mother got so attractive as we review the movie Beowulf; and finally, we blast off for dimensions unknown with our review of the Dick Dynamo podcast. As always, we appreciate your ideas and comments…and as always, we appreciate your spreading the word about the show! (As usual, podsafe intro music is provided by Sharif (“You’re My Girl”), outro by David Henderson (“We Gotta Go”).)
