Sep 22, 2019

The Fellowship is pleased to present our Casting Call for an expansion of the 1952 Superman TV series. It brought the big guy into our living rooms in a whole new way back in the day, so we're expanding on that to try to spread the love around. We always have a blast with these, and we hope you do as well. Plus our usual funny business and our comics picks of the week.

Announcements:

Come hang out with us! We have monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays in Garland, TX; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website

And this year's October theme: Vincent Price!

What we're up to this week:

Still working on the bonus show for #All The Horror - I think you guys are going to enjoy it

Tough week, don't want to talk about it (at least not again)

Ready Or Not - enjoyable movie

A good time was had at the September Meet & Gab; also something fun is about to go down, which we will announce next week 🙂

Strangely (or not, if you know us), we talk about a TV show from the 1950s, and our first tangent is on cellphones. Like you do.

And Thomas' microphone is still acting weird. Sorry about the dropouts 😞

And as always, our warning to you: this episode is dripping with references to people who have been dead for a while. Don't Google and drive, is what I'm saying here 🙂

Sep 15, 2019

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of Scooby-Doo on or around its 50th anniversary. It's been a mainstay of children's television for a long time now, taking some format changes (and character updates) in stride. We get into our impressions from our younger days, the many variations over the years, the cultural impact, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual silly behavior and our picks of the week.

Announcements:

Come hang out with us! We have monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays in Garland, TX; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website

What we're up to this week:

All podcast, all the time - working hard on #AllTheHorror

13 Reasons Why - season 3 is not as gripping as the previous 2, didn't get into OITNB either, though

Got out of jury duty (nothing shifty, we promise); new job (one day a week); pretty good week overall

Still working the new project (it will be really cool)

Weirdly, Skype seemed fine this week, but TC's mic was a little wobbly. We'll try to get that sussed before next week's show.

And if you're not familiar, it's called "What's Opera, Doc?" and you need to track it down and watch it 🙂

The show Liz brings up was called Late Night Black & White, and another one like it that I enjoyed back then was ToonHeads. Fun historical stuff 🙂

Picks for the week of 9/18:

Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins #3 (Dark Horse)

Steeple #1 (Dark Horse)

Pellucidar: Wings of Death #1 (American Mythology)

Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion volume 3 trade (Dark Horse)

Sep 8, 2019

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the Ghostbusters "franchise." Not gonna lie, we're mostly talking about the original 1984 film here, which is a favorite of ours. We get into our impressions from our younger days, interesting casting tidbits, the mediocre sequel, the controversial reboot, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual odd behavior and our picks of the week.

Announcements:

Come hang out with us! We have monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays in Garland, TX; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website

What we're up to this week:

Working on the #AllTheHorror stuff - should be some fun stuff unraveling soon 🙂

Reread The Fix (a twisted crime comic from a couple of years ago); also rereading another series to catch up for the fourth installment

Not the best week this week, waiting for luck to turn better

Also still working on secret projects, hopefully some news soon; also found an interesting Twitch streamer named Kitboga (he's a "scambaiter")

The promised Hellafied Funk Crew link 🙂

And a bit of research after the fact tells me that Peter MacNicol and Kristy McNichol are not, in fact, related.

Picks for the week of 9/11:

Chainsaw Reindeer one-shot (Action Lab Danger Zone)

The Girl In The Bay trade (Dark Horse)

Beware The Witch's Shadow #1 (American Mythology)

The Fellowship is pleased to present our conversation with David Pepose, writer and creator of Spencer and Locke and the new series Going To The Chapel. We're big S&L fans around here, so this was a special treat for us 🙂.
