Open the pod bay door, HAL.

Arthur C. Clarke, one of the most prolific and respected science fiction writers, has died at the age of 90. Confined to a wheelchair from post-polio syndrome for the last two decades, he died after experiencing breathing problems at his home in Sri Lanka. He's most famous for writing the novel and co-writing the screenplay to the most famous sci-fi film of all time, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Rumours about Clarke's sexuality followed him throughout his career, and unfortunately, he either refused to address them, or when he was asked directly if he was gay, he replied "No, merely cheerful". It may be a while before we find out the truth. His "Clarkives", a collection of manuscripts and personal memoirs will be released ... in fifty years. If he was gay, there are going to be debates for years to come about whether he should have come out, or whether it can be forgiven considering the time he grew up in. Thoughts?

Over yonder, you can see a clip from 2001, featuring that heavenly body known as Keir Dullea.

This week Marc and Lee are back to discuss just how much they loved the new movie 10,000 BC, as well as the first episode of Fox's new series New Amsterdam. As usual, there's a lot to say about the new episode of Torchwood (in which we meet Martha Jones and finally find out exactly what's going on with Jack and Ianto).

Also this week, Marc and Lee's favorite fictional food products and a brand new member of the Gallery of Gay Action Figures!

In this week's episode of Angry Puppy, Marc and Lee talk about a few of their favorite gay geek websites (and mangle some names in the process). Marc's secret crush is revealed, and Lee reviews the Pride of Baghdad. Of course, you'll also get the now obligatory Torchwood review and learn some new ways to be involved with Angry Puppy.

Marc and Lee are back to talk about Blu-ray's victory over HD DVD and using the AppleTV's new features to replace an accidentally erased Lost. They also clarify Neil Gaiman's comments regarding Torchwood and give their impressions of the new episode "Meat". Finally, they review the sci fi/parkour movie District 13 (or at least the actors) and recommend "10 Movies That Deserve a Second Chance".

This week's Angry Puppy is full of shocking news about "full digital nudity", same-sex couplings in Mass Effect, Fox News' getting the story wrong, and the possible film adaptation of The Last Man on Earth. Oh my! Marc and Lee also review "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," the first episode of Torchwood's second season. And finally, they notice something odd about both the Sci Fi Channel and The History Channel doing a series about hunting UFO's. As they guys say, The History Channel?

In this week's Angry Puppy video blog, Marc and Lee dish on vaginas with teeth (in regards to the horror comedy Teeth, which we also reviewed earlier this week), handi-cam horror (in regards to Cloverfield, which rocked the house), Marc's Top 10 Gay and Bisexual Sci-Fi Characters list, and much, much more. Did you happen to pass last week's Geek Challenge? Well they've got another one for you this week ... are you geek enough to handle it?
