PKDheads Podcast ·

2022/11/22

Hello, and welcome back. Richard Linklater's 2006 adaptation of A Scanner Darkly is considered by many to be the ultimate adaption of a Philip K. Dick novel. But is it perfect? And is it really faithful to the source material? What would PKD himself think of it? The DickHeads attempt to answer these questions and more. Plus: Snooty film guy ascot. Sir Bro. And the balls to put a talking dog in it. Our Patreon ►► http://www.patreon.com/LanghorneJTweed Electric Larryland Discord ►►

DHP A Scanner Darkly - The Backstory

PKDheads Podcast ·

2022/05/19

With special guest John Shirley. Sometimes an episode runs too long and I'm forced to cut out some small bits. Usually these tidbits end up on Patreon in one form or another. However, this particular story, while long, I considered too important to cut or keep hidden behind that $1 paywall. So enjoy PKD's wackadoodle early 70s rollercoaster. •Our Patreon ►► http://www.patreon.com/LanghorneJTweed •Electric Larryland Discord ►► https://discord.com/channels/557458722268643329 •David's YouTube Channel

PKDheads Podcast ·

2022/04/30

In the first episode of this podcast, Solar Lottery, David said he would someday do this episode. So four years later, in January of this year, he sat down with a couple of colleagues and discussed the lesser-known novel The Big Jump by Leigh Brackett. The pair of talents he was privileged to have here are newcomer to Leigh Brackett writer/music manager/tarot reader Grant Wamack and long time 'Bracketteer' teacher/translator/writer and two time Hugo nominee Cora Buhlert.

2022/04/20

Okay, my fellow DickHeads welcome back. After one reasonably lengthy mental breakdown, we are back with some new material. For this episode, it was decided it would work best if I, LJT, handled it solo. Something about an artsy French film with no genre plot to be found made from a book neither of them particularly dug wasn't their cuppa. But have no fear; I am here to guide you through the ups and downs of this more than adequate movie based on Confessions of a Crap Artist. Plus: A problematic

2021/09/14

Hello DickHeads. We've got a long one for you.

We hope you enjoy this deep dive that includes some of David's most intense writing and publication history to date. Plus: Betty Ballantine rejects. Non-vanilla sex causes rage.

Dick Adjacent #14 - Judith Merril Roundtable

PKDheads Podcast ·

2021/09/07

Dick Adjacent is back. And it's a good one too. The story goes that after David finished reading some of Judith Merril's stories, he found a scathing review she wrote of PKD's story Roog, and with that connection made, it seemed only appropriate to gather a panel of experts together and discuss her place in the science fiction universe. Considered a feminist force, she had to bully her way through a male-dominated business to make her voice heard. Incredible person. Incredible story. And a truly

2021/07/16

Hello DickHeads. Here comes a strange one. A Maze of Death is PKD's 27th published novel and the only one so far with a foreword by the author and a table of contents. Both of which are more exciting than they initially sound. Maze is the story of 14 spacefaring adventurers, a strange walking tower, and a couple of new gods. Plus: Christians on PKD. Perspicaciousness. And the closest we've seen to a Voight-Kampff video game. Our Patreon ►► http://www.patreon.com/LanghorneJTweed Electric Larryland
