// VOICEMAIL and FEEDBACK

* We have voicemail from Paul Maki, author of "Really Big Things" which was featured on Jack Mangan's Deadpan Podcast, and voice of Javert from last season's Buffy Between The Lines, amongst other podcasting ventures!
- He mentioned Bull Bile is the source of taurine, the bitter ingredient in energy drinks like Red Bull and Vamp N*R*G.
- Beef Bile as we found frozen in the Chinese market is mainly for Filipino dishes like Papaitan.

// BUFFYVERSE NEWS
* Season Two of Buffy Between The Lines premieres Aug. 16th!
- Buffy Between The Lines is the awesome fan-made podcast that tells the tales of our favorite scoobies between the seasons of the TV series.
** THIS JUST IN! The crew from Buffy Between the Lines, including Paul Maki, will be at the New Media Expo THIS WEEKEND in Las Vegas perfoming a live show, Saturday at Noon!
* You can also see them at Dragon*Con!

// PROMO
* Buffy Between The Lines

// SKIT
* Job Interview with the Vampire

// MOVIES
* We jumped outside of our NetFlix queue to discuss The Lost Boys and its new sequel Lost Boys: The Tribe.
- SPOILER ALERT! We not only discuss the movie, we talk about it for a while.
- Michelle gives it a 5. Dan gives it a 7.
* The movie we have next in the queue is Andy Warhol's "Blood For Dracula".

// BOOKS
* August 1st saw the release of the fourth and final book in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, entitled BREAKING DAWN.
- I still haven't read it as I of course intend to listen to it. Audible has NOT released it yet, however. So, I may have to buy the CDs or borrow it from the library.
- I have read both glowing reviews and ones that trash the book. I think for those that are disappointed, it may be fair to say that her fans are fairly rabid and that any finale that doesn't meet expectations might see this kind of response.
- I fear the movie this December may encounter similar divisions. Many books do not translate well to the silver screen. With Meyer's vampires being such "perfect" creatures, many may feel that the movie fails to portray them well. Only time will tell.

// FAREWELL
* We wrapped the show by playing the eighth track from our album which is on sale now, FOR THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE,, for only $13. Remember, part of the sales of the CD will be donated directly to the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund.
- The song is "Feed Me Anger" by Mandrake Root. Thanks again, Magnatune Records!

* Our intro music is "Stigmata" by George Hrab from his album Minutiae. Check out his podcast, his albums, and his new book, George Hrab's Non-Coloring Book, now on sale at Lulu.com!
