Chuck Season Two DVD and Blu-ray Details

Warner has finally released the full details for Chuck: The Complete Second Season, coming on DVD and Blu-ray. It looks like all 6 discs will be hitting stores on January 5th, and will include 3D glasses for Chuck vs. the Third Dimension. :)

Available for pre-order on Amazon.com:

Special features will include:

  • Truth, Spies and Regular Guys: Exploring the Mythology of Chuck
  • Dude in Distress: Explore Some of This Season’s Best Action Sequences
  • Chuck Versus the Webisodes: Web-Originated Minifeaturettes
  • Chuck: A Real-Life Captain Awesome’s Tips for Being Awesome
  • John Casey Presents: So You Want to Be a Deadly Spy?
  • Declassified Scenes
  • Gag Reel

I don’t know about you, but I think A Real-Life Captain Awesome’s Tips for Being Awesome sounds pretty hilarious.

Also, don’t forget that Yvonne will be appearing (albeit in digital form) in Mass Effect 2, which will be hitting PC and Xbox 360 on January 26th. I think that’s her on the cover.

UPDATE: Reader Mike pointed out that if you zoom in on the Mass Effect 2 cover on Amazon’s site, you can clearly see that it is in fact Yvonne on the cover:

Carson Daly Screen Captures

Here are the screen captures for Yvonne Strahovski’s interview with Carson Daly on October 28, 2009.  The legendary interview where Yvonne gave a shout out to Strahotski.com specifically (can it be legendary in less than 24 hours?).

Yvonne is as beautiful as always.  Given the special occasion, this gallery comes in at 40 images which is 10 more than any other interview gallery.

It’s probably also bigger because — let’s face it — we’re all needing an Yvonne Strahovski fix right about now.

All of the pictures are lovely of course, but my favorite is this picture which I’ve made a special thumbnail for.

This capture is taken right before she starts talking about Strahotski.com. It’s that split second when she’s formulating exactly what she’s going to say to Carson Daly’s question about her Googling herself…

At least that’s how I imagine it anyway.  It may be wishful thinking on my part, but it’s a beautiful screen capture nonetheless.

Though I have chosen not to personally upload the video to YouTube, someone else has done so.  I can’t in good conscience keep such an awesome interview from the masses, so enjoy!

What did you think of the interview and the screen captures?  Yvonne’s becoming a regular over at Last Call, and each interview just gets better and better.

Yvonne & Strahotski.com on Carson Daly

This isn’t the first time Yvonne Strahovski has been on Carson Daly, but it is by far the best.

Not only was the interview very fluid and comfortable, but the best part of all was when Carson nonchalantly asked Ms. Strahovski whether she had ever googled herself.  Not only has she done so, but she saw fit to give a shoutout to Strahotski.com.

Carson quickly moved the interview along, but not before Yvonne mentioned that she found the site flattering.  That’s good to hear because I would hate her to think that we’re a bunch of weirdos!

Daly went on to mention how he always goes straight to the pictures and enjoys looking at the screen captures from Chuck.

Though he didn’t say exactly where he goes for those pics, we’re going to just assume it’s right here since we have the largest collection of Yvonne-specific screen captures on the Internet.

Overall, I couldn’t be more excited and grateful for the mention on Last Call.  It’s a big acknowledgment of all of the fans out there who frequent the site to celebrate Ms. Strahovski’s work.

The interview is happily transferring to my computer right now and I’ll get screen caps up in the gallery this afternoon.  Keep your eyes peeled for the interview to pop up on the Last Call site so we can relive the shoutout over and over!

Yvonne and Screamfest

While Yvonne Strahovski herself isn’t scheduled to appear at Screamfest, her new movie, The Canyon, will be showing tomorrow night, October 20 at 9:30pm at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater in LA.

Ticket prices are a reasonable $11.50 when ordered online. If any of you Strahotski-ites are in the area and get to check out Yvonne, we’d love to here any reports of Yvonne’s performance!

The Canyon is nearing release on DVD on November 17, and has been in the making for a long time.  For previous Strahotski news on the subject, check out the following links:

* Impressions of Yvonne from Karina, wife of Screenwriter Steve Allrich

* Watch the trailer of The Canyon

The Canyon is a tale of a pair of newlyweds who get lost without their guide in the Grand Canyon wilderness.  It’s been compared to movies such as Open Water as a story of survival.

ShockTillYouDrop recently posted an short interview with Yvonne about the movie, specifically focusing on her fun with the wolves in the film.

You can discuss Yvonne’s role in the movie on our forums in the thread dedicated to her role.  If you get a chance to see the movie, let us know!

EDIT: According to a Facebook post on the Horror Festival Page, Yvonne Strahovski will be attending the showing of the Canyon at Screamfest on Tuesday night. All the more reason to get your tickets and watch!

Happy Halloween!

When reader and avid forum-goer Radi8n asked her daughter what she wanted to be for Halloween, she didn’t hesitate — Sarah Walker!

sarah-walker-halloweenLofty dreams indeed, but a good parent lives to make their kids’ dreams come true and this was no exception.

A little bit of shopping around, and a plastic throwing knife later, out came a pint-sized Sarah Walker.

I’m told that she enjoys throwing her knife around just like our favorite agent, but no word on whether she can make a mean frozen yogurt.

I don’t know if mini-Sarah has any older brothers but if she does, they should be afraid — very afraid.

Did Yvonne Strahovski or Chuck inspire you to make a cool Halloween costume?  If so, send pics our way at submissions@strahotski.com.
