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 we engaged with over their exciting journey, but who have opened their hearts to us off-screen as well.

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.

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 reality. We also discuss the topic of a Chuck movie at length, including what you can do now to help. The best plan is to put dollars into Warner Brothers' pockets -- visit Chuckazon to pre-order Chuck season 5, and order any other seasons you are missing! There have been numerous blogs and news sites featuring coverage of the finale. In particular, CNN interviewed Gray for their Geek-Out blogs, and Gray also posted his thoughts about how Chuck changed his life, in his own goodbye to Chuck at chuckpodcast.com. Check them out!

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.

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!

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. What better way to celebrate, than with some of our liveliest discussion ever, singing the praises of these two episodes.

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. Rebecca Romijn shone as the evil lady torturer, Alex had some tricks up her sleeve, and Sarah got to kick some butt rescuing her husband… Ladies night on Chuck got thumbs up from all of us! Next week features Stan Lee, the return of a serious villain, lots of surprises, and… another holiday podcast extravaganza!
