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:

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 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.

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of The Wizard of Oz on the 80th anniversary of its 1939 premiere. We don't bother to hide our love for this one; its airplay on TV since the early days of TV have only helped it become part of our culture. We get into its creation, the books, the remakes (before and after), the casting, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual crazy talk and our picks of the week.

Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict

 

It has obviously been way too long since I listened to Ummagumma 🙂

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of Zorro on the 100th anniversary of his debut. He's kind of a quintessential hero, fighting for the people simply because he can. And though he's been active for most of the century, we wonder if maybe he doesn't get the love he deserves. We get into his creator, his movies and TV shows, his modus operandi, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual weird 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:

Prep work for October - seekrit projects which should be fun

Not much this week - just take care of yourselves; also still on the Neil Gaiman audiobook

Big Bag o' Nothing - boring week

Meetup was successful - thanks to all who attended 🙂; also more seekrit projects 

 

Check out our sponsor page! Head to the website and click on the banners for Things From Another World! (Click through the TFAW banner on our site and we get a cut. Thank you!)

 

It seems a shame that we haven't seen any interest in a celebration, even an unofficial one, for Zorro's 100th birthday. But maybe someone will pick up the ball on it. We can hope, right? 🙂

The Fellowship is pleased to present a Q&A episode. We got some great questions from listeners (and fellow podcasters) and we're answering a couple of them in this episode. We get into how geeky we really are, fangirling, Dobby vs Gollum, a Stan Lee biopic, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual strange behavior and our picks of the week.

Sorry about losing Les partway through. We can't go a week without finding a new way to make this difficult, can we? 😉

Also, we seem to have gotten some overzealous microphone stuff going on in here, too. Apologies for the questionable sound quality (it's beyond my meager sound editing skills to clean that up).

The Fellowship regrets to announce that we do not have a new episode for you this week. This one was planned, fortunately, so it's more about vacation than failure to perform 🙂. We did get together our picks of the week for you (see below). And we'll be back next week with more of our usual fun (and something we've been threatening for a while now?...). And if we don't say it enough, thank you for listening and hanging out with us 🙂

The Fellowship is pleased to present another Casting Call episode. This time we're doing it a little differently - we're casting a new movie for Action Lab's Spencer & Locke comic series. It's a book that has been optioned for film, and it's got a deliciously dark storyline. We get into CGI, casting kids, movies vs streaming TV, 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

And we will not have a new episode next week

 

What we're up to this week:

Music documentary - Nat King Cole: Afraid of the Dark; very good doc, lots of family interviews, very sad ending

Dealing with sick kids all week, also homework for this week's topic

Homework, and Dateline reruns (tangent on true crime podcasts)

Meet & Gab was good, SDCC news, Fluxx has come to smartphones

 

Check out our sponsor page! Head to the website and click on the banners for Things From Another World! (Click through the TFAW banner on our site and we get a cut. Thank you!)

 

And if this is your first Casting Call with our show, you'll want to keep Google handy. We can get a bit obscure with the names when we do this. This one shouldn't be quite as bad as when we deep-dive into decades long past, but still...

 

And I referred to our last chat with Madeleine Holly-Rosing, which was episode 146. Check it out and go buy her book!

 

Picks for the week of 7/31:

Sham #3 (Source Point)

Dear Justice League collection (DC)

The Fellowship is pleased to present our conversation with Darin Henry, writer and publisher of Sitcomics. Sitcomics is one of the fresh new faces in the comics industry, and you're definitely going to want to check them out at Sitcomics.net (or talk to your local shop about contacting them to get their books). We talk about the Sitcomics cast of characters, working with amazing creators, rating systems, the formatting of comics, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual silliness and our picks of the week.

 

Announcements:

What we're up to this week:

Music documentary - Death By Metal (2016) about Chuck from Death (the death metal band); good doc, hard to watch at times for reasons, but go watch it

Addicted to an online game called Wordscapes

Also playing an online game; this one is Star Trek Timelines, and it's pretty fun

And another successful Meet & Gab 🙂 

No Liz this week, unfortunately

The downside to recording on Skype is that sometimes you get dropouts and hinky sound events. I don't think it interfered with the conversation too much, though.

Darin has some really interesting (and hilarious) stuff going on, with supers and horror with a comedy twist. Very cool stuff!

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the Apollo 11 moon landing on or near the 50th anniversary of the event. This was a huge event not only from a scientific perspective, but also for nationalism during the Cold War and for popular culture (for the TV coverage alone). We talk about NASA, the government, conspiracy theories, space shuttle accidents, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual weirdness 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:

More music documentaries - this week it was Rainbow and Iron Maiden; I learned a lot about both (which is good, I think)

More online comics - found some older Danger Girl books (good stuff); tangent about the July 4th holiday [sitting at Lew for a week - the county jail is named the Lew Sterrett Detention Center. And now you know 🙂 ]

Reading some DC collections - Invasion, Planetary/Justice League, Catwoman 75 Years

New addition - Batman: The Sunday Classics 1943-1946

The moon landing was a huge step for humanity, one I hope we can find a way to make useful sometime soon. We've certainly found plenty of ways to corrupt it, make fun of it, and blindly refuse to believe it.

And I was close, sort of - it was A Trip To The Moon (1902), not The First Men In The Moon (the HG Wells story published in 1901, first made into a movie in 1919). Thomas named it correctly early on 🙂 

And while we're at it, I found this great YouTube video about the moon landing hoax thing

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of Vampirella on or near the 50th anniversary of her debut. This is a comics character with an interestingly diverse background and history, and a (mostly) consistent publication run. We talk about her ownership issues, changes in backstory, and crossovers galore, along with a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual crazy talk 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:

Music documentary - Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown (good doc about a hard subject)

Homework for the show, with the help of Readcomiconline.to; saw Toy Story 4; plus a little trailer talk

Saw Yesterday, liked it; also went to a local screening of Christopher Mihm's Friday Night Double Feature

Thomas' first comic convention in five years (due to working retail) - had a blast

 

Check out our sponsor page! Head to the website and click on the banners for Things From Another World! (Click through the TFAW banner on our site and we get a cut. Thank you!)

 

Vampirella is a very interesting character if for no other reason than she's been presented in such a wide variety of ways and stories. She's gone from horror hostess to alien to biblical myth to antihero to hero to futuristic hellscape dweller. Not necessarily in that order, either 😉 

And apologies if the flow seems weird - we had a few odd interruptions which made editing a bit of a challenge.

 

Picks for the week of 7/10:

Wolverine & Captain America: Weapon Plus #1 (Marvel)

H. P. Lovecraft's At The Mountains of Madness volume 1 (Dark Horse)
