Big's Story "Still They Ride" on Delusions of Grandeur

Last year (or maybe it was the year before), Marshal Latham had a contest over on his Journey Into... podcast where he assigned Journey song titles, and volunteers were supposed to write short stories based on those song titles.  Well, you've already heard mine ("Troubled Child"), but everybody's pal Big Anklevich also contributed one.  

His was called "Still They Ride," and since it had a Star Wars theme, we decided to put it on the "Delusions of Grandeur" podcast.  It features Speeder Bikes, and has a fun, full-cast production.  Afterward, Big joins Marshal and me to talk about the story and the various Stormtroopers throughout the Trilogy (and beyond).  Check it out HERE!

Rish and Marshal Review BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS

Over on the Outfield Excursions show (part of the Journey Into... channel), Marshal Latham and I talk about BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS, a Roger Corman-produced Sci-Fi adventure starring Johnboy Walton and John Saxon, from 1980.  Is it a rip-off of STAR WARS or a rip-off of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN?  Can it be both?

Marshal and Rish Review THE INNOCENTS (1961)

The previous episode of The Outfield Excursions was discussing THE TURNING, a 2020 adaptation of Henry James's "The Turn of the Screw."  This episode is its evil twin, as Marshal Latham and Rish discuss a 1961 adaptation called THE INNOCENTS.  It's quite a bit more faithful to the 1898 source material, but will that save the children?

Check it out HERE . . . unless you're not that innocent.

Big, Rish, & Marshal Talk EWOKS: BFE

Do you miss That Gets My Goat?  Well, Marshal and I corralled Big Anklevich to come on the "Delusions of Grandeur" podcast again, and talk to us about "The Ewoks: Battle For Endor" TV movie.  It was the first time I had seen it since 1985, and I think Big remembered it even less than I did.  Marshal Latham himself had never seen it.

But it was not a bad movie, in my opinion, and the episode of us talking about it, is one of our best.  It took practically forever for me to edit, but it made me laugh more than any other "Delusions" episode we've done.

Check it out HERE . . . but make sure to bring your boob armor.

Marshal and I Review THE TURNING (2020)

Rish here.  Hey, over in the Outfield Excursions podcast, Marshal Latham and I thought it would be fun to take a look at two adaptations of "The Turn of the Screw," starting with THE TURNING, an awful 2020 haunted house flick that is, frankly, none of your concern.

Marshal, Big, and Rish Discuss THE EWOK ADVENTURE

Hey there, over at the "Delusions of Grandeur" podcast, there's an episode with Marshal, Big, and Rish talking about the 1985 TV movie THE EWOK ADVENTURE (aka CARAVAN OF COURAGE).  Was it as good as the boys remembered?  And what if Marshal didn't remember it at all?

Rish Performs "Knock, Knock, Wolf" on Pseudopod

Rish here.  Back in May, my man Shawn Garrett over at Pseudopod, The Horror Podcast, sent me a story by Peter Galalis called "Knock, Knock, Wolf."  He thought it would be a good fit for me.

I don't disagree.  It's a story about an old woman who is put in the unenviable position of protecting her village from a wolf that walks on two legs.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure I pronounced the last name of the writer right (even after asking).
