AfterLunch | Big Screens Little Sentences

Rob, Evan, and I welcome Christian Nielsen ( Pop Culture Retrofit ) and my blog pal Siskoid (The Fire and Water Podcast Network) to guess movie titles based on one-sentence descriptions of the plot. It's kind of hard, fairly chaotic, and completely fun.

Hellbent for Letterbox | The Apple Dumpling Gang (1975) / The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again (1979)

Pax and I watch both of Disney's Apple Dumpling Gang movies starring Don Knotts and Tim Conway with costars like Bill Bixby, Harry Morgan, Slim Pickens, and Jack Elam. Pax also checks out the Sergio Corbucci documentary, Django & Django, as well as the first novel in William R Cox's Cemetery Jones series.

AfterLunch | After Dinner Lounge – No Infringement Intended

Rob, Evan, Pax, and I gather for another wandering discussion about what we've been listening to and reading. Conversational stops along the way include fan-made audio plays, radio, Ain’t It Cool News, and the ComiXology-Amazon merge.

AfterLunch | Bond Novels – The Spy Who Loved Me

I talk about the most unusual James Bond novel of all, The Spy Who Loved Me. No Jaws. No Russian spy on a revenge quest. No underwater lair. Just a heartbroken girl, a remote motel, and a couple of thugs sent to kill her.

Seriously Felicity | The Fugue

Kristi and I swoon over an art student, get composers block, and play open mic night.

Hellbent for Letterbox | The Furies (1950)

Pax and I watch another Barbara Stanwyck western, The Furies, this time directed by Anthony Mann. Also, I watch a little more 1883 and Pax reads Hailstorm, a comic by Rafael Scavone and Rafael de Latorre.

AfterLunch | Thor: The Dark World

AfterLunch | Bond Novels – Octopussy and The Living Daylights

In this solo episode, I talk about the four James Bond short stories collected after Ian Fleming's death as Octopussy and The Living Daylights. In addition to the two title stories, later editions also included "The Property of a Lady" (commissioned by Sotheby's) and "007 in New York" (to placate American readers after a rather cranky essay Fleming wrote about the city).
