Chuck Vs. The Podcast - Standard Mp3

All things must end… as Chuck aired it's 91st and final episode in January, this 107th podcast will be our last. It has been a wild ride! When our podcast first aired in January 2008, none of us could have ever imagined the journey we would take together. In our 164th interview, AOL TV critic Mo Ryan is back with us one more time, helping us to get perspective on Chuck's 5 seasons. We also have a retrospective of significant moments we've had along the way, and at the end, Mel, Liz, and Gray spend some time reminiscing on what the experience has meant to us personally. Thanks so much for supporting us along the way… March is heading to be our 40th consecutive month as the world's #1 TV-themed podcast, and it's all because of your votes! You've supported us with generous donations at crucial times, Amazon and Chuckazon purchases, thousands of emails, encouragement on Twitter and Facebook, and so much more. Thanks also to the cast and crew of Chuck, who have not only brought us characters and a story that

On the last podcast, you saw the man behind the music, and got to witness the full depth of his mesmerizing "Question and Answer" music cue. This week, be mesmerized by the man behind the show, in an 84 minute question and answer session! We had over 700 questions submitted… obviously we couldn't ask them all, but we bubbled them down to the most common themes, and asked what was most on your hearts. Chris goes into great detail on all the hows, whys, and wherefores. Our next episode, we interview fan favorite critic, AOL TV's Mo Ryan, in what will be our final podcast. Watch for it on Friday, March 16th. And have Kleenex at hand… we sure will! Want a Chuck soundtrack? Visit ChuckTV.net/TimJonesCD for more info. Want a Chuck movie?

Today is all about the music! We have an epic 81 minute look behind the scenes of scoring the finale, in a full video interview with Chuck composer Tim Jones. He also answers every one of your questions! Fans have swooned over the final music cue at the beach... when you hear the touching story behind Tim writing it, you'll connect even more with the song. Did you know that Joshua Gomez likes to play a modular synthesizer? How many guitars are on Tim Jones's wall? The hardware and software Tim uses to record the music? We also have several musical interludes, including the full "Question and Answer" cue, and a sample of Tim Jones's solo work. Want a Chuck soundtrack? Visit ChuckTV.net/TimJonesCD for more info.

January 27th was a day of tremendous excitement, which we now mark with sadness as the date we said "goodbye" to Chuck. The 2-part finale, comprising 'Chuck vs. Sarah' (written by Rafe Judkins and Lauren LeFranc, and directed by Jay Chandrasekhar), and 'Chuck vs. the Goodbye' (written by Chris Fedak and directed by Robert Duncan McNeill), was a true love letter to the fans. Filled with suspense, emotion, twists and turns, incredible acting, and a cornucopia of callbacks, this series finale was one the cast and crew can be proud of. It leaves us filled with hope as the characters we love ride off into the sunset. This marathon podcast features photos and videos from viewing parties in several cities, as well as a unique privilege… thanks to Chuck composer Tim Jones, you will hear his music cues underneath our discussion of the finale! He will also be interviewed in our next podcast, which should be released in the next week. Speaking of Tim Jones, we discuss how you can help a Chuck soundtrack become a r

We only have two back-to-back episodes to find out, and then Chuck is gone for good. And that brings up something important to consider… As fans of the show, Chuck and its cast and crew (both on and off screen) have become like close friends. It may seem odd to describe it this way, but you may indeed be experiencing extreme emotions of real grief. We devote some time in the podcast to talking about what this grief might look like, and how we can help each other get through it. This will be an exciting week… watch ChuckTV.net for some amazing give-aways, including actual wardrobe pieces from the show. Also, ChuckTV.net, CNN.com, NBC.com and many other websites will be having special features this week. Here are just a few: CNN: Vik Sahay • Adam Baldwin • Yvonne Strahovski • Joshua Gomez • Zachary Levi As you plan your viewing parties (and stock up on the Kleenex), make sure you also plan to take some photos and send them in.

Chuck vs. Bo was a hilarious instalment in the Chuck saga, with Bo Derek playing herself as a spy, a return to the frosted tips, and Groundhog Day-style capers by Jeff & Lester. However, the end of the episode spun us in an unexpected new direction: to escape a tough situation and to save her beau, Sarah has now uploaded an intersect. Oh, no! It's coming close to series finale time… As you plan your viewing parties (and stock up on the Kleenex), make sure you also plan to take some photos and send them in.

On Friday at the Television Critics Association presentation, NBC President Robert Greenblatt rocked the world of Chuck fans -- in a bad way. We heard you! And we devote the first 10 minutes of the podcast to talking all about it. We also discuss Chuck vs. the Kept Man, including a good look at HD screencaps from Jeff's research board.

While we were all on holidays, Chuck sure wasn't! Between Chuck vs. the Santa Suit, written by writing assistant Amanda Kate Shuman, and Chuck vs. the Baby, directed by first-time TV director Matt Barber (and written by fan favorite writers Rafe Judkins and Lauren LeFranc), Chuck delivered a one-two punch of back to back amazing episodes! In our 100th podcast (because of a half-episode early on), we celebrate 4 years as a podcast and 37 consecutive months as the #1 TV-themed podcast in Podcast Alley's "TV & Film" category.

Is it really a curse to be a Bartowski? Not if you've met Ellie! In Chuck vs. the Curse, Ellie stole the show, as she & Devon were unwittingly whisked into the spy world.

Yvonne Strahovski… need we say more? In our 4th Comic-Con coverage, Mel & Liz finally nailed a press room interview with Yvonne Strahovski! They also had great interviews with Chris Fedak, Ryan McPartlin, Zachary Levi, Joshua Gomez, Adam Baldwin, Vik Sahay, and Scott Krinsky. Everyone was a little emotional at what was most likely Chuck's final appearance at Comic-Con. But take heart! Shooting has already begun on season 5, which begins in its new Friday 8/7c time slot on October 21st. It's coming fast!

Oh, boy! Chuck is renewed… Morgan has the intersect… Chuck & Sarah are married… Volkoff is now Winterbottom, and he & Vivian have given Chuck & Sarah a billion dollar wedding present… Team Bartowski now owns the Buy More and are mercenaries for hire… Yowzer! The season 4 finale, Chuck vs. the Cliffhanger, was an amazing, game-changing episode in all respects. It was intense, full of action, yet tugged at the heart-strings, and even drew some tears on the podcast! We have a lot of fun talking all about it, and reliving all our favorite moments. So many Russians… And if that's not enough, Mel had a great interview with Chuck executive producer Robert Duncan McNeill, who also directed Chuck vs. the Cliffhanger. He takes us behind the scenes of the finale, hints at season 5, and will not confirm or deny whether a certain Bartowski could be back… PLEASE NOTE: This is the last Podcast before Comic-Con San Diego in late July, as we will be taking a much needed break.

Season 5 is alive! Very reliable sources (Ausiello, Variety, Deadline, and others) are reporting that against all odds, NBC will be renewing Chuck for a fifth season! NBC has not yet made an official announcement, but it could come at any time, and certainly by Sunday at 2pm, when they announce their fall line-up in a conference call. Chuck is firing on all cylinders… the writers have certainly found their groove, as evidenced in the awesome "Chuck vs. the Last Details," written by Henry Alonso Myers and Kristin Newman. We have a lot of fun talking all about this episode! Let's thank Chuck's advertisers, who certainly played a big part in seeing Chuck renewed -- in addition to keeping up the #NotANielsenFamily Twitter campaign, why don't you find a way to incorporate one or more of Chuck's advertisers into your finale party, and then tell them about it! Please note: many apologies, as there was a technical issue with Gray's video this week. and much of it is out of sync. Follow us on Twitter for th

It's girls' night yet again, as Gray was sick this week. Never fear… Mel & Liz were in top form, discussing the action-packed Chuck vs. Agent X.

This week's episode of Chuck, written by fan favorite writers Rafe Judkins and Lauren LeFranc, was Chuck at its best! We had comedy, action, Sarah's hilarious impression of a Chuck intersect flash, and lots of tender moments dealing with both Sarah's dad and also Casey's revelation to Kathleen. Gray was absent this week as he started his William Shatner show and was in a little over his head, but Mel and Liz are in top form. If you stick around for the spoiler section, you'll see Mel weave some season end theories that rival Chuck's TRON poster! Chuck is on a repeat this week (the excellent "Chuck vs. the Honeymooners," also written by Rafe and Lauren), and new episodes will be back May 2nd, in Chuck vs. Agent X. Make sure to watch live, and tweet the advertisers you see! Go to wegiveachuck.com for details. The podcast will be back that week also.
