Xenu Sez, Episode 3: Anime

I'll let the show do the talking on this one, mostly because I don't know jack shit about the subject.

To answer Xenu's question at the end, however, the anime that I enjoy includes Samurai Champloo, Neon Genesis (until the end makes no sense) , and as lame as it is, I'm really enjoying the original Americanized Saturday morning version of Space-battleship Yamato known to us as Starblazers. I also like Miyazaki's movies and the anime version of Metropolis is absolutely amazing.

And now, on with the show!

Reggie and Calvin, Episode 4: Smorgasbord, Smorgasbooooooord!!!!

This is part one of the movie show.

With this show and the next, we will finally be finished covering the things that we wanted to discuss in August.

It's a day later than I had hoped because I have been rocking out to Guitar Hero 3.....not well and on easy, but rocking out just the same.

Despite all that, it still has kind of a Halloween theme.

Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!!!!

I've got a special Halloween treat for you guys tonight.

It's the Halloween episode of Escape Pod from 2005.

Click on this link (or that link) to learn more about Escape Pod, it's the best sci-fi story cast out there right now, and it's kind of the show that really got me thinking about doing all of this stuff in the first place.

Just trust me, it's totally worth it.

So here it is:

The Great Old Pumpkin

(yeah, it's exactly what you think it's about)

P.S. Part one of the movie show will be posted either tomorrow or Friday night....I just really felt like I needed something to post today.

:-D

A Quick Correction

Since I'm actually about 2 years behind on this podcast thing, my time lines are still a little mixed up because I'm literally learning about new people and ideas, and everything that has come before, every single day.

Scott Sigler's first podcast novel was Earthcore. And it WAS the first podcast novel. The Novel I am referring to in the last podcast was Ancestor. And if any of you remember those awesome old Nintendo football games where monsters and stuff would rip each others limbs off, his last Podcast: The Rookie, is worth a listen as well.

I should really take five minutes to do research before doing a show instead of after.....

P.S. Since I'm posting more random (yet oh so awesome) links, check this out: Neverending White Lights

Reggie and Calvin, Episode 3: I'm Scott Sigler's Bitch

This show should be pretty self explanatory.

It's just me talking about some of the feedback on the site as well as clearing up and expanding on a few things from earlier shows.

I kind of rushed this one out, and I'm not too pleased with the quality. That's mostly because of the MP3 recorder I was using, and in the future I'll be sure to turn the mic sensitivity down. Other than that though, I think it's alright.

I recorded it on Friday, so when I talk about people who left feedback, it was up to that point. Had I done it yesterday or today I would have mentioned Sally's comment as well. But I'm sure she'll be here a lot and there'll be plenty of mentions of her in the future.

Hopefully you'll see this photo now associated with the file, some of you will know what it is, others won't....and if you don't, no I'm not gonna explain it.....well...I probably will eventually....



Also, as mentioned in our last episode, here are a couple of pictures of the Ent we found in Livonia.

-People and shows mentioned in today's episode: George Hrab, Farpoint Media, Scott Sigler

Xenu Sez, Episode 2: Modern Storytelling

In this installment, Xenu talks about modern storytelling.

In general he covers the overall laziness of filmmakers and other outlets for storytelling that are intended for little more than mass consumption.

These themes will be further expanded in future installments of Xenu Sez, as well as the Reggie and Calvin Show....especially when I start talking about movies....
