This week, I'm reading the second part of the twenty first chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This part of the film picks up on the gondola of the zepplin, and you can watch the segment in the film (at least partly) here. One thing I always wondered as a kid was that if you shot a flare at something, would it actually ricochet like it does in the movie. If you search on Youtube, you can find a number of video of people doing exactly this, so yes,

This week, I'm reading the first part of the twenty first chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. Before we get to the reading, there are a few noteworthy announcements: -I finished a set of breaking training cards to help add an element of randomization to solo dance practices. Those are available on itch.io and are free to print out. I will make a physical version of the cards and an instructional video in the coming weeks but to anyone that might

This week, I'm reading the twentieth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. There's a whole bunch of prereading announcements that occur prior to this (about 22 min in; it's not a long chapter). This chapter takes place in Griffith Observatory, which is a real life location you can visit should you ever find yourself in Los Angeles. I was there a number of years ago, at night, and it did look pretty much the same as it had in the film about ten

This week, I had the honor of speaking to Scott Holcomb, who was Hideo Takamini in the 1986 film, Spacecamp, one of my favorite films, and one I watched over and over as a kid (not seen it? I was not able to find it streaming anywhere, but you can find it on Youtube, e.g. here). I stumbled on Scott's contact info when I was making the first wave of Spacecamp Lego minifigures as a fundraiser for Spacecamp scholarships. I have since decided to make a second wave (since I gave away and sold all

This past two weeks, I have had the honor of speaking to Sahbunim Jamie Webster, who played himself (and the character of Great Wolf) in the mid 90s martial arts show, WMAC Masters. Sahbunim (abbreviated here as SBN) is the Korean term for master instructor at a martial arts school, and the Webster Martial Arts academies have been serving the Northern Alabama region since 1973, when SBN Jamie's father, opened the first martial arts school in the area.

This week, I'm reading the nineteenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This chapter takes place in the study of Howard Hughes, the inventor of the Cirrus X-3 rocketpack in the world of the film (in Dave Steven's original story, it was his unnamed analogue of Doc Savage). In this scene, you can see what's in Cliff's pockets, a Dave Stevens cameo as an ill-fated German rocketeer, an animated film featuring German rocket troopers, and

This week, my brother and I are watching the 1981 movie, Spiderman: The Dragon's Challenge, a composite of two 1979 episodes of The Amazing Spider-Man where Peter Parker ends up in pre-handover Hong Kong protecting an influential Chinese diplomat. As far as we could tell, the live action Spider-Man show did not have that much to do with the comics and take a more realistic view of what a man in a spidersuit, albeit one with special powers, could realistically accomplish. The series is not

This week, I'm reading the eighteenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This short chapter takes place in the Bulldog Diner and features a scene where Cliff falls down a ladder from the attic after he is startled by Patsy, the daughter of the proprietress, Millie, and in the censored version we'd taped off the Disney channel when I was a kid, they actually dubbed over the work "heck," so instead of "you scared the living ... heck out of me!" it became

This week, I'm reading the seventeenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This chapter takes place in Neville Sinclair's home, where he's kidnapped her, though she ends up figuring out how to get the upper hand, at least temporarily. I don't remember if I usually fast forwarded through this part as a kid, but I think I usually wanted to since I always through Neville was such a creep (and this scene certainly hits different in 2025),

This week, I'm reading the sixteenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This chapter takes place in The South Seas Club, like last chapter, and is great fun. Cliff wreaks absolute chaos on mob boss Eddie Valentine's club (crime doesn't pay, kids!). The full clip is here. The novelization adds a few interesting tidbits that I suspect were artistic license, like the first person that Cliff runs into when he is on the waiter's cart being

This week, I'm reading the fifteenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This chapter takes place in The South Seas Club, and has one of my favorite parts of the movie this part where Cliff stands by the table with Neville and Jenny awkwardly and tries to poof up these flowers - which go right back to the way they were before. I don't know why that part always used to crack me up, but it still does :) The full clip is here. Thanks for

This week, my brother and I are watching the 1992 movie, Army of Darkness. Both of us remember the movie poster from comic book ads from the time. (It's still not clear to me what the X shaped belt Ash is wearing if for ... I don't think he wears something like that in the actual film).It was my first time seeing in a few decades and Jeremy's first ever. We watched the director's cut (which you can view online), but after a few minutes, I realized that this version was somewhat

This week on the show, we are celebrating the 500 episode mark with a story! I alluded to some of this in the past few weeks and was inspired by the scene in the 1988 film, Big, where both the young and adult Josh play a CGA text parser style game with a wizard and a cavern. You will be hearing from the following guests in this episode that I am happy to call friends:Shawn Wells and Colin Stewart, hosts of the podcast, I Used to Like This One, who recently hit a milestone of themselves, discussing

This week on the show, I wanted to talk through the creation of a character who will not only show up in episode 500 next week but also some subsequent Thirteenth Hour stories. I wanted to explore some of the references, motivations, and conflicts behind the character, who I am calling Faltron, the cloud dragon, kind of a mix between Falkor from the film, The Neverending Story and Voltron from the cartoon, Voltron: Defender of the Universe (you will hear some music from the theme in the show).

This week on the show, I'm brainstorming ideas for episode 500, coming in a few weeks. I was thinking about doing a group DnD-lite style adventure so anyone who joins can essentially join in on a role playing journey (virtual/theater of the mind style) with the goal of emphasizing cooperative gameplay with a minimum of time spent attending to inventory (maybe you'd have one item), character class, combat, and stats (none). I'd have to design the game in such a way to make it very stripped down,

This week, I'm reading the twelfth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This chapter has a scene that for some reason always cracked my brother and I up as kids - the big bad guy, Lothar, picks up Cliff and shaves him through the ceiling headfirst a few times. It's so cartoonish - like something out of a Looney Tunes cartoon - that I still can't help it, though adult me (who tends to smack his head on lots of things always kind of winces). This
