Rish Talks To Big About His Brief Eurotrip

Over on the Anklecast, Big has been presenting chunks (the technical term) of his novella "The Elephant In The Room."  But he also got a chance to go to Europe, at least for a couple of days.  So he had Rish on his show and they talked about it, after the chunk of his story, that is. 

You can--and will--check it out HERE.

Marshal and Rish Talk LISA FRANKENSTEIN

Over at the Outfield Excursions podcast, Marshal Latham and Rish Outfield talk LISA FRANKENSTEIN, the 2024 teen Eighties reimagining of the Mary Shelley tale, starring Kathryn Newton and Cole Sprouse.

Screenwriter Diablo Cody is not for everyone, and this time, she may have gone too far for one of our storied hosts.  Your voltage may vary.

Rish and Marshal Talk About James Earl Jones...

  ...and watch an episode of a show for little, little kids!

The last "Delusions of Grandeur" episode we did was inspired by watching Alfred Hitchcock's movie NOTORIOUS, starring Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, and in reading about that, it said that an episode of "The Clone Wars" was a total homage to it, the one called "Senate Spy" from 2009.  And yes, there are definite parallels there.

Just as we were going to record, however, the great James Earl Jones died, and we spend a few minutes talking about his masterful addition to the Star Wars experience.  Check it out HERE.

Rish & Marshal Snatch Some Body Invaders (1978)

Over on the Journey Into... podcast, Marshal and I have reviewed INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, the 1978 remake, and one of my favorite horror films.

It's a familiar story: people are acting strangely, seemingly changed from their usual personalities, and two coworkers at the Health Department, Matthew Bennell and Elisabeth Driscoll, try to get to the bottom of it.   Is it paranoia, mass hysteria, a vast conspiracy, or just the fraying of our increasingly-insular modern society?

This is the version set in San Francisco, and it's probably the best movie we've reviewed on this show--almost nothing in it doesn't work, and it's filled with familiar faces, such as Leonard Nimoy, Veronica Cartwright, Robert Duvall, and Jeff Goldblum.  

Check it out HERE . . . but only if you've already seen it.  After all, you're next.

Rish Performs "Don’t Go in the Woods" On Tales To Terrify

 

Rish here.  Another of my performances is available on the Tales To Terrify podcast.  This times it's "Don’t Go in the Woods…or Do, See If I Care!" by Patrick Barb.  

An old man tries to warn young people about the local cursed summer camp, but will they listen?  Do they ever?

If you've ever seen the first two FRIDAY THE 13TH movies, you'll recognize who this story is from the point-of-view of.  And that makes it quite unique.  You can check it out RIGHT HERE.

For the record, this is my seventh story for them, the others being:

Eric J. Guignard’s A Case Study in Natural Selection and How It Applies to Love 

Warren Benedetto’s Something’s Wrong with Mom 

Edith Nesbit’s Man-Size in Marble 

Tyler Jones’ Who Built the Moon? 

Carrie Lee South’s Feeding On Ourselves

Emily J. Weisenberger’s The Prairie’s Song 

I suggest you check them all out; the narrator is excellent.

The Female Protagonist Speaks!

Rish here.  All four versions of my "Female Protagonist" collection are available to purchase.

I'm not great at promoting my own work, but this is a collection of stories with girl or women main characters (and the first volume, at that), which include Once again, the contents of this particular collection are "A Lovely Singing Voice," "Roll With The Changes," "Office Visit," "A Gallon A Day," "Run Away," "Creature Feature," "My Funny Valentine," "Winter Break," and "Remember the Future," as well as their author's notes (if people enjoy listening to them).

Plus, it's the only place I'll be releasing my performance of "A Gallon A Day," since it's a first person female story (which may sound odd, though I do do my best).

The audio version is over nine hours long, and it's available HERE on Audible.

If you'd rather buy it for a Kindle, phone, or tablet, it's HERE. 

If you prefer a paperback version, go HERE.  

And for the crazy ones, there's a hardcover available HERE.

Thanks for looking (and listening)!

There Are Dog People And Then There Are...

 

Rish here.  Not too long ago, Marshal and I got together (literally) to watch 1942's CAT PEOPLE.

It's a movie I had seen several years back, but was reminded of when I picked up a story by Val Lewton (who produced CAT PEOPLE) called "The Bagheeta," to record for my podcast.  Marshal was game to review the movie, and here it is.

Basically, a man meets and marries a mysterious foreign woman who is convinced that she is under a curse to turn into a deadly were-cat when she becomes emotional.  But it's all in her head, right?

Talking about this moving made me want to watch the other flicks Lewton made for RKO (such as 1943's THE LEOPARD MAN).  Check out our discussion HERE!
