The show generally opens with a re-enactment or re-interpretation of a scene from a popular movie or iconic pop-culture moment. For example, in the very first podcast, the opening scene of
Raiders of the Lost Ark was parodied, featuring props such as a can of whipped cream and anAmerican Idol DVD. An opening dialogue introduces what will be discussed on the show, followed by various segments introduced by brief interstitial video shorts, which are sometimes produced and submitted by fans of the show. The segments vary from show to show, usually including reviews, discussions and current news about movies, television, video game, and comic book industries.Occasionally, segments other than the regular topics of the show such as coverage of trade shows, holiday celebrations, or group gaming sessions are included. A recurring segment is the facetious "Dan Becomes A Man", during which Alex or Jeff show Dan, the youngest member of the trio, how to do something he has never done before such as smoking a cigar or driving a car with a
manual transmission . With the exception of on-location segments and the show-opening parodies, the show is filmed in front of a green screen. This allows the use ofChroma key to superimpose segment-specific backgrounds, gaming sessions, trailers and cut-scenes, as well as images of packaging or covers of the media being discussed. Although cameraman/editor Steve does not appear onscreen, he is sometimes heard speaking and also makes his presence felt through creative, artistic or informative additions to the recorded video.The show is brought to a conclusion with a discussion of the sponsors and the reading of one or more viewer emails, or a discussion of posts on the Totally Rad Show forums at Revision3.com.
