HoopleCast: An IntroCast For HBO's Deadwood

Episode Zero. Host Matt takes newbie cohosts Carol (of McKinleycast: A Freaks & Geeks Podcast) and Matt & Mel (of The Twin Peaks Podcast, CarnyCast and Intro To Brisco) on an introductory tour of Deadwood. We talk about our podcast format... the show's background, including its infamous use of profanity... some brief late 19th century history... predictions by the newbies on what's to come... and just what is a "hoople?" In a few weeks we'll regroup with our impressions of the pilot. | Send feedback to [email protected].

Next Episode

Deadwood 1x01 "Deadwood"

Episode One. It's finally here. The pilot episode of Deadwood. Carol, Matt H & Mel are escorted through the outlaw camp by veteran viewer Matt A. We meet ex-Marshall Seth Bullock and his business partner, Sol Star... legends Calamity Jane & Wild Bill Hickok... nefarious saloon proprietor Al Swearengen, plus his various whores and goons... There's also a dandy, an addict, a too-earnest reverend, and a drunk with a droopy eye who remains unimpressed. Deals are made. Schemes are hatched. Folks are hanged, stabbed, shot, hacked and spread around... some are even fed to pigs. Shit, man. It's fucking Deadwood and it can be combative. ... Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback for our first episode, and sincere and heartfelt gratitude to Chris JC for our original theme music. | Send feedback to [email protected].
