Over at the Journey Into... podcast, there's another movie review from Marshal Latham and me, this one for a 2020 Sci-Fi film called THE VAST OF NIGHT. It's the Outfield Excursions, and it's not unlike one of the Season Four episodes of "The Twilight Zone." By design?
Check it out HERE!
This was darker than . . . well, take a look out your window around 5:30pm this week. Dark, dark stuff.
I had no memory of voicing the dad on this story (none*), but it's done with an actual child actor as the main character, and dang, that kid is good. Everybody was. CRT gets its share of awards every year, and they're definitely deserved.
Check it out HERE . . . if you dare.
*Although there was something familiar about my lines. I had to look it up to see how long ago I sent the lines in, and it was August 2018.
Rish here. So, I can be heard over on the StarShipSofa podcast, performing another Sci-Fi short story.
The story is called "AI Family Values," and was written by Ben Spillers. It's about an older man (wonder why I got tasked with doing this one?) who does a service for a "living" machine, and ends up making a powerful ally in the form of the head artificial intelligence in the country.
My thanks to Gary Dowell, who's tasked me to do several of these (he tasks me, and I shall have him!), and looks to be stepping down from his duties over there. That may mean I'm done doing narrations for them, but you never know.
If you want to check it out, find it at THIS LINK. If you don't want to check it out, then perhaps you would enjoy THIS LINK. And if you don't like any of my narrations, then might I suggest THIS LINK?
Rish here. If you like my Star Wars fandom or my sketch comedy, you might like them both, in this month's "Star Wars: Delusions of Grandeur" podcast. Marshal and I talk about the calm before the Mandalorian storm, then run my sketch about an Imperial officer answering his two children's questions about what he does for a living.
It's called "Tell Me Once Again Who's Bad," and you can check it out HERE.
So, the second half of one of my 2020 Resolutions is now out there. On the "Star Wars: Delusions of Grandeur" podcast I do with Marshal Latham, you can check out the rest of "Star Wars Sequel," the revised first draft Leigh Brackett wrote for Lucasfilm in 1978.
It has tons of differences and similarities to THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and I voice all the parts, which may or may not be entertaining. Regardless, it's a fascinating artifact of how we got the 1980 film, which remains the greatest sequel of all time (GODFATHER II be damned).
Feel free to go HERE to listen or download.
Otherwise, I fear your Tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker.
Rish here. Over on the Journey Into... page, Marshal Latham and I review the film HERCULES (2014), starring Dwayne Johnson, John Hurt, Ian McShane, and The Rock. It's the show we do together, called "Outfield Excursions."
So check it out HERE.
Over on Marshal Latham's "Star Wars: Delusions of Grandeur" podcast, I got half of one of my 2020 New Year's Resolutions done. It was an idea I had last year, when I came across a copy of Leigh Brackett's revised first draft of "Star Wars Sequel," the screenplay she wrote based on George Lucas's story as a follow-up to STAR WARS.
I found it fascinating, in both the similarities and the differences to THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and while I intended to summarize it in a single episode, I ended up simply reading the whole thing, which will take two episodes at least. Check it out RIGHT HERE.
Perhaps you too will find it interesting, if not, might I suggest you go over personally and apologize to Lord Vader.
