With Dave missing this week, Frank and Jimmy are left to two-man the show. Be prepared for craziness! Frank decides to start the show with a story he has been waiting to tell since the podcast went explicit. He calls it “the tripping, naked, Asian who jumped out of my window in college” story.

To kick off the real proceedings of this weeks episode, the Overdos3 fellows plow through a tidal wave of Sony talk. We examine what Tecmo/Koei CEO Kenji Matsubara jumping on the ‘PS3 needs a price cut’ bandwagon means for Sony, and if this gives credence to the rumors that Sony has plans to get the PS3 Slim out as early as the end of this month. We also take a look at Michael Pachter’s claim that the PS3 will lead the 360 in sales by 2015, and Sony patenting a backwards compatibility fix for the PS3.

We then take a look at Sarah Palin’s unexpected resignation as the Governor of Alaska. What does or could this mean, and do we even really care about it? http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20090704/us_time/08599190866900

Next up is the Oscars- With the pool of Best Picture nominees increased to 10 from 5, does this mean that we will see more movies we like actually have a chance at winning the big prize, or is this just a ploy to get more viewers for the show while the same old acts continue to win? http://www.oscars.org/press/pressreleases/2009/20090624.html

Sticking to movie news- with a script review out for Tron 2, the Overdos3 guys spend a few minutes ruminating over just how much they like the original, and if anyone should even bother trying to follow it up. http://www.overdos3.com/2009/07/tron-2-script-review-available-on-cc2k/

The show then ends with a talk on the nature of being a fanboy. Is being a fanboy a bad thing, or is it how certain fanboys act that gives the word its bad connotation. What are we fanboys of, and what about it makes us fans. We then end with some community responses to this question, and the ever present Star Trek fanboy debate- who is the better captain, Kirk or Picard? http://www.overdos3.com/2009/07/what-makes-you-a-fanboy/

This weeks awful demo is “keep your hands off your pee-pee.”
