Happy holidays to all of the Tower of Babble Nation. We got together early on a holiday morning to record a special year end episode for all of you. Most podcasts wait until the new year to do their top 10 lists but we decided to do something a little different. We compiled a list of not our top 10, but a list of our top 3 games, television shows and movies of 2014. A top 10 is easy, and inevtiably ends up with items you didnt really love at the bottom end. So we decided to make things tough on ourselves and restrict it to a much smaller number and put it up on Christmas Day.

Episode 45 - Star Wars, Suicide Squad and PSX
The guys sit down to discuss the Star Wars Episode VII trailer, which of course dropped the day after our last recording. There's a lot of optimism mixed in with some skepticism but overall we're all pretty excited for more Star Wars. We also breakdown the Terminator: Genisys trailer with our resident Terminator expert, Jeremy, who seems to be a bit worried about the direction the series is taking. But it wasn't all trailers to talk about, there was also some big casting news that was revealed over the last two weeks which included Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker as well as the rest of the Suicide Squad. We basically have a hard time finding anything wrong with any of those choices. Finally, the PlayStation Experience (PSX) took place in Las Vegas and we give our take on all the news coming out of that event and so much more in this weeks Tower of Babble Podcast.

ToB Interlude - Interstellar Review
A casual conversation about Christopher Nolan's Interstellar quickly grows into an in-depth analysis and discussion. While we can all agree on liking the movie to different degrees, we still find a way to energetically debate its finer details and structure. A testament to the film's potency, scope and subject matter, as well as our ability to argue with each other over stuff we basically agree on.

Episode 38 - A Change of Pace
So even though it's been slow for news we pulled together another great episode. Out of Nintendo we discuss the New Nintendo 3DS as well as some rumored characters for Smash Bros. We break down a few news bits out of Gamescom. In particular, the Rise of the Tomb Raider hullabaloo. And of course it wouldn't be a ToB podcast unless we discussed Star Wars and Game of Thrones and as luck would have it we got a story that combined both. All that and much more in this episode of the Tower of Babble Podcast; now broadcasting from the Cayman Islands!
