Episode 77 – If I Were a Rich Geek

Posted on April 2, 2013 by admin | 5 Comments

“They” say money makes the world go round. “They” also say that money is the root of all evil. We here at To-Ag studios say “We need more money, dammit!” Join us this week as we discuss what we would do if we suddenly woke up and found endless amounts of disposable income at our fingertips. Sure, sure, world peace, green energy, and wiping out starvation are important, but we’re talking REALLY important stuff. Fire up your jet-packs, call in the contractors, and get ready to game until your eyes, ears, and fingers bleed as we talk instant geek riches on a whole new episode of Monkey in the Cage!

Episode 76 – Heroes: Part Deux

Posted on March 26, 2013 by admin | 2 Comments

So, way, way, WAY back in Episode 8, we here at To-Ag Studios talked Heroes and Villains. Seeing as the Monkeys still had their podcasting training wheels on, we approached two very broad and interesting topics with the reckless abandon of Hulk and Wolverine on a bender. So now, 68 weeks later, we have reconvened our Monkey council in order to once again discuss the hero figure and why we love them. Draw down your cowls, make some therapy appointments, and get your butt out of retirement as were headed for round 2 to discuss Heroes (NOT the show) on a brand new episode of Monkey in the Cage!

Episode 74 – TV Character Deaths

Posted on March 12, 2013 by admin | 3 Comments

It seems like not that long ago, the characters on our favorite TV shows were untouchable. Sure, most have been far from infallible, some not even remotely likable, but they definitely seemed to be somewhat immortal. Then, one day, writers go this great idea that killing important characters in dramatic fashion wasn’t just good entertainment, but good story-telling, so the fans could cray all they wanted, because, you know… ratings! Join us this week as we discuss some (but definitely not all) of the TV show character deaths that have made a lasting impact on us, the viewers. Grab you box of tissues, play some sad background music, and maybe even get some confetti poppers ready as we talk TV character deaths on a brand new episode of Monkey in the Cage!

Episode 58 – TV Shows That Were Cancelled Too Soon

Posted on November 20, 2012 by admin | 2 Comments

We all know that feeling. It starts with the previews and the teasers during re-runs. That new show, with those actors you like, is about to come to that network you watch. You can’t wait to tune in, and when you do, it’s one of the greatest things you’ve ever seen. You’re vested in the story, the characters, everything. Nothing can possibly get better than this, IT’S AMAZ… WHAT!?! CANCELLED!?!?! Join us this week as we reflect and mourn on some of our favorite TV shows that were sent to an early grave by the TV and network execs. Don’t get too cozy, have a plan B lined up for that time slot, and whatever you do don’t let FOX premiere your as we talk cancelled TV shows on a new episode of Monkey in the Cage.
