Endorsed By Johnny Staker

Rish here.  Big and I are back together, doing what we do best, on the newest Anklecast (Episode 65).  Big tells the tale "Servants of the Master," his dip of the toe in the pool of vampire fiction.  

Jerome and Kirk attempt to do battle with an infestation of vampires, but before they do, they get advice from famous YouTuber, Johnny Staker, he who's staked a hundred vampires.  

Afterward, we talk about vampire fiction, clichés, and pet peeves.  Check it out HERE.

Warning: The podcast is something from inside the house.

Marshal and Rish Fear "Premature Burial"

 I mean, don't you?  If the answer is no, then we should end our vacation right here.

Rish here.  Over at the Outfield Excursions podcast, Marshal Latham and I talk about Roger Corman's THE PREMATURE BURIAL, a movie he tried to do on his own, without American International Pictures (and hence, he couldn't afford Vincent Price in the lead).*  Of course, when he shopped it around, the studio that bought distribution rights was, you guessed it, AIP.  

Anyway, based(ish) on Edgar Allan Poe's story of the same name, this 1962 flick tells of Guy (Ray Milland), who is terrified of being buried alive, and the woman who tries to reason with him.  There's nothing to fear in that, right?  Check out our review HERE.

*There were seven films in the Poe cycle, and Price starred in six of them.

Who's Your Boyfriend Again, Part 2

The suspense was killing you, but Big has finally published the second half of his story "Karma Is My Boyfriend" over on the Anklecast podcast.  Rish voices Thor again, as well as two other characters, then hangs out to talk about Big's story in the rest of the episode (and Big's reputation as a cruel and heartless bastage).  

Check it out HERE . . . if you dare.

Rish's Voice on "The Decline of the West" on Journey Into...

 

Marshal "The Acupuncturist" Latham has finally put out the second-place winner in his (cursed) Quardle Quell story contest.  It's by R.C. Anderson, called "The Decline of the West (And Other Terrorist Photo Galleries)," about a computer programmer who stumbles upon a pattern that might be a far-reaching conspiracy.  

Rish voices Zoltan, an Eastern European computer hacker, which, yeah, is typecasting.  Also featured are Bria Burton, Josh Roseman* and Marshal himself.

Check it out HERE.

*Not THAT Josh Roseman, though.

Wait, Who's Your Boyfriend Again?

Over at the Anklecast, Big is presenting a novella he just wrote, called "Karma Is My Boyfriend," about a dude who discovers his crazy ex is dating . . . well, let's just say it's the physical embodiment of the Buddhist concept of deserved consequences.  Rish voices a character named Thor, and Big voices all the rest.  Afterward, we talk about the story's origin, and bad-mouth Marshal Latham.

Oh, and there's more to come!  Check it out HERE.

Rish and Marshal Pass Through THE GATE (1987)

 Rish here.  A long while back, Marshal and I watched an Eighties horror flick with Stephen Dorff called THE GATE.   

It was a PG-13 horror flick about a gateway to the underworld in a suburban kid's yard from '87.  Somehow, I never saw it.  Till now.  Check out the fun HERE, if you dare.

These creatures were really impressive, as little as they appeared in the film.  Note: Nice to see that Vin Diesel had steady work back in 1987.

Big n' Rish's Voices on Journey Into...'s "With A Banjo On My Knee"

Recently, Marshal Latham had a rather diabolical writing contest over at the Journey Into... podcast, call the Quordel Quell.  Each entrant was given four words, generated by a game of Quordel, that we were supposed to craft a story around.  After a lot of struggle, Rish submitted a story called "With A Banjo On My Knee," which tells of Garrett McClaren's discovery of a banjo that seems to have an unusual, maybe even magical effect on people.

Well, Marshal has created a production of that story over on the Journey Into... podcast, and it's available now, if you'd like to listen to it.  He went nuts with full-cast (again), and there are a bunch of familiar faceless voices in this one, like Dave Thompson, Rene Chambliss, Gino Moretto, Bria Burton, and both Big and Rish.
