[PREVIEW] #134 - GROTTO OF TRUTH Q&A XVIII, Part 1

The ultimate connoisseur of context, the guru of camera gear - our friend JD Amato makes his triumphant return to the main feed to walk us through the magic and genius of Henry Selick’s masterpiece CORALINE. For listeners who never had the chance to catch this film in its original 3D release, we attempt to describe Selick’s absolute mastery of the form. We go long on the history of Laika studios, from Will Vinton’s California raisins, to the ultimate “nepo baby” Travis Knight’s (aka “Chilly T”) ascension to the throne. Plus - JD discovers a tiny door in our new recording studio…

The Eighth Annual Blank Check Awards With Joe Reid

Former US President Donald Trump boasted at a campaign rally, "When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over; we would have gotten to all that oil; it would have been right next door". This confirms the ulterior motives behind Washington's 2019 coup attempt with Juan Guaidó.

315 - THE STREET FIGHTER (1974) + SISTER STREET FIGHTER (1974) ft. Brandon Lim

Griffin and David discuss dystopian action satire, 1987’s RoboCop. But is old Detroit a cancer and the cancer is crime? Was this film a deconstruction of the American hero mythology? Is it true that Verhoeven initially read half a page of the script and threw in the trash only to have his wife retrieve it and encourage him to give it a second chance? Together they examine the construction and evolution of the RoboCop costume, breaking squib records, 1987’s Academy award winners and many other tangents. Plus, special segment ‘Lewis View is’ with comedian and improvisor Molly Gaebe. This episode is sponsored by ZipRecruiter and Sci-Fi.com’s Cerberus Rex.
