This week, Paul Korman, who was last on the show in 2021 (episode 298), rejoins the show to discuss The Phantom Fellows, the pixelart adventure game he recently completed. This was a really fun episode to record (even though we needed to do it twice - more on that in the intro), and it was a fun one to prepare for, since it involved playing the game Paul had discussed back in episode 298. It is really something - not only was it a very enjoyable experience - but he did the programming, art,

This week, my brother and I chatting in a rare, in-person meeting and, using my homebrew Rocketeer game demo as an example, talk about what makes video games enjoyable. When I started making this game a few years ago, my initial goal was not actually to make much of a game. It was it learn how to use the game making software I am using (GDevelop5). But once I got past the animations, story, and sprites, I kind of ran out of steam. This is what used to happen when I tried to make games back in

Happy 2025! This week, my brother and I are watching the 1990 movie, Darkman.This is our first time watching it, though we'd both heard of it, having grown up seeing ads in Nintendo Power for the video game. Just like Dick Tracy, which we did a number of episodes back and also had not seen, it has a certain pulpy, tongue in cheek vibe. In fact, it reminds me a little of the first Robocop. Check out Jeremy's work over at Pixel Grotto, CBR.com, and Classic Batman Panels on IG. If you are of the

This week, I’m reading the eleventh chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This chapter is when the Rocketeer flies off after his debut flight and tries to get the hang of the Cirrus X-3 without killing himself. We also get a sense of all the different players that want it.

This week, I'm reading the tenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This chapter is when the Rocketeer makes his debut! This is one of the few part of the comic the plays out on the big screen, as Cliff in the comic also goes airborne for the first time to save Malcolm, a former WW1 flier who hangs out at the airfield. Click on the picture of Cliff taking off to watch the scene in the film. The James Horner score really completes the scene. As

This week, I'm reading the ninth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This chapter introduces us to the Laughing Bandit, the role the villain Neville Sinclair is playing probably inspired by Errol Flynn swashbucklers from the era. There were also some cameos in the novelization (not in the film) with famous actors and films being made at the time Clark Gable (Gone with the Wind), George Reeves (Gone with the Wind, later famous for Superman), Mae West,

This week, I'm reading the eighth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This chapter introduces us to the Bulldog Cafe and tells us why Jenny's phone number is written on the wall next to the pay phone. I always wondered about that and figured it was either a reference to the Tommy Tutone single from the 80s ("867-5309 / Jenny") or maybe the guys at the airfield had put her number up there to get a rise out of Cliff ("for a good time, call Jenny!").

This week, I'm reading the seventh chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This chapter introduces Jenny Blake, Cliff's girlfriend (called Betty in Dave Stevens' original comic as an ode to pin up icon Bettie Paige). That part, in the film, went to Jennifer Connelly, who you may also remember from 1986's Labyrinth. When I was a teen, I had VHS copies of Labyrinth, Howard the Duck, Some Kind of Wonderful, Sixteen Candles, and The Rocketeer taped off the

This chapter introduces Eddie Valentine, the gangster doing the heavy lifting for Hollywood spy Neville Sinclair. We get some backstory about Eddie that was not in the film as well as an early preview of Neville secret room where he sends encoded messages to his Nazi colleagues who want the rocketpack for themselves. This is also the scene where Cliff and Peevy strap the rocketpack

This chapter introduces Otis Bigelow, the owner of the Bigelow Air Circus, the statue of Charles Lindburgh outside the airfield, the Curtiss Standard biplane christened Miss Mabel (named after the real life barnstormer Mabel Cody), and, of course, the Cirrus X-3 rocketpack.

This week, I'm reading the fourth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This chapter basically picks up in the spot in the film where Cliff has had to crash land the Gee-Bee and is dealing with the Feds. We also meet a version of Howard Hughes, who in the film, is the man behind the Cirrus X-3 rocketpack. It's never stated in the Dave Stevens comic (since he didn't have the rights) but he was intending that the inventor of the pack be Doc Savage. Dave

In honor of Cliff Secord's birthday, 10/26, I'm reading the third chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. (What I really love about the bio Dave Stevens penned for Cliff is that it gives both backstory and motivation for his character as well as why, in 1938, he is flying the Gee-Bee Z, a plane from the early 30s, for the first time in 1938. You can tell that Dave had put quite a bit of thought into the character and the history of the era.) This chapter

In honor of Rocketeer Day (unofficially a thing ... in the 1991 film, the date October 15th, 1938 is shown), I'm reading the second chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film. This chapter basically picks up in the spot where the film begins, where on a fall morning at Chaplin Airfield, Cliff, Peevy, and the other fliers and mechanics who work there gather to witness and partake the Gee-Bee's first flight. It's cool seeing little details, like how Cliff played

I've been meaning to read the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film for some time, so I figured I'd start doing that this week. It will take about a half a year if we read one chapter a week, but since they are not very long, some weeks, we might do two. It's interesting reading just this first chapter so far, as there are a number of other details or plot changes that weren't in the movie. Lookin forward to seeing what other ones I can find!Thanks for

The past few months, I've been happy to host an adult open gym at a local gymnastics school. Adult bodies are different from those of kids, and kids programming is mostly what gymnastics facilities tend to cater to. Gymnastics for adults often ends up looking and being different than it does for kids. We are older, our bodies don’t move in the same ways as they used to, and we may feel rusty or uncoordinated. But if the desire is there, it’s like anything else - the first step is the hardest.

I'm doing this episode as a future note to myself about some projects that I've been toying around for awhile that I'd like to delve into in the next few months: -An illustrated children's book that I'm temporarily calling "The Imperial Ranger's son" - a story written from the perspective of a child in the Capital City of Tartec (the kingdom where a lot of The Thirteenth Hour takes place), who is in school with other kids his age whose parents don't necessarily work for the Empire of King Darian.
