Tobey Maguire in Robotech?!?
Tobey Maguire to produce / star in Robotech via /.
Didn’t the Slice of Sci-fi crew mock this idea the other week? Hollywood must be listening and doing the opposite. Spidey piloting a VF-1 Valkyrie could be a really disturbing sight. I shudder to think of who’s going to play Minmei.

Interview: Dr. Robert Ballard
Dr. Robert Ballard is best known for his discovery of the wreck of the RMS Titanic. However, this is only one of his 121 expeditions including the discovery of deep sea thermal vents, the wreck of the German battleship Bismarck, and John F. Kennedy’s patrol boat PT-109. Technorama, a show that normally takes a light hearted look at tech, science, sci-fi, and all things geek, brings you another in its series of specials and interviews.
The podcast was fortunate to catch the busy Dr. Ballard for an interview immediately following his latest trip to the Black Sea. Join host Chuck Tomasi for a fascinating discussion with Dr. Robert Ballard about the Black Sea trip, Internet 2, autonomous underwater vehicles, history, and more. Feed your inner geek with Technorama!
