Nate & Hayes and Marshal & Rish

 

Rish here.  I like to watch Indiana Jones knock-offs with Marshal over at the Outfield Excursions podcast.  And when it was my turn to pick, I remembered that John Hughes's first produced screenplay was NATE & HAYES, a pirate adventure from 1983 starring Tommy Lee Jones.  But *is* it an Indiana Jones knock-off?

Rish & Marshal Consume Some BURNT OFFERINGS

Maybe a bit overcooked in places.  In the latest Outfield Excursions episode*, Marshal and Rish take a look at 1976's BURNT OFFERINGS, where a family moves into an old house, one that might be haunted . . . or might actually be something worse.

The movie wasn't spectacular, kids . . . but the ending sure was.  Check out our conversation HERE!

*In actuality, this is not the latest episode--or even the second-to-latest episode.  If you support Marshal on Patreon, it turns out you can hear these episodes when they are new, not two or three months old.

Big & Rish Talk About "Digital Wizards"

 

Over on the Anklecast, Big has been presenting segments of his novella "Digital Wizards," month to month.  In the newest episode, Rish joins him to talk about the completed story, where the idea came from, and how you are supposed to feel about the main character.  

I thought it was an interesting discussion, but of course, I have a bias.  Maybe you could go over and judge for yourself, RIGHT HERE.

Rish & Marshal Discuss THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU

 

So, there's a new* Star Wars movie in theatres!  Join me and Marshal Latham as they discuss THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU over at the Delusions of Grandeur podcast!  Hear one of them complain about having to see the movie twice right HERE.

*It's a bit old now, but hey, anything Rish edits is going to be.

Marshal & Rish Encounter THE HUMANOID

 

Rish Outfield and Marshal Latham once stood at the grave of Alex McCrindle (who played General Dodonna) and vowed to watch every single ripoff of STAR WARS that we could . . . as long as it wasn't directed by Zack Snyder and straight to Netflix.  And that brought them to 1979's THE HUMANOID, the most recent movie reviewed on Outfield Excursions.

And it's a bad one.  It has three James Bond alumni in it, a robot dog sidekick, a naked torture device, a creepy Asian kid with mystical powers, as well as a character with the outlandish Sci-Fi name of Barbara Gibson.

Bad, yes.  But is it fun-bad or simply bad-bad?  Find out for yourself HERE.

Rish's Voice on "Fallen Angel" by Campfire Radio Theater

Rish here.  I have been known to complain when a particular podcast makes its (according to me) irritatingly unreasonable demands on me, but one podcast I've never been unhappy to work on is Campfire Radio Theater.  John Ballentine's audio dramas are, no exaggeration, the highest-quality productions I get to be a part of.*

When an online investigative journalist is approached about a mysterious object being kept under wraps by the government, she is surprised to find something truly otherworldly, not to mention dangerous.  For her.


I voice General Randall (Character Voice 2 in my list of three), but maybe one day, I'll get to be the lead in one of these again.  Vegas odds say no, though.

Check it out HERE.


*Perhaps that's why they never come to me anymore.  There may be folks out there who can do a dozen voices and accents, instead of my usual three.

Rish & Marshal Talk About The New Galaxy's Edge

 Hey, the Delusions of Grandeur show is back!


Rish makes Marshal watch the new promos for Disneyland, featuring fake-Han Solo and faux-Princess Leia, briefly calls Big Anklevich a baby, and tries to counter the many, many complaints about this new change.  Does anybody remember the Galactic Starcruiser?  Don't people have a way to tap into their inner child?  Wanna hear the story again about the first Spider-man movie?  And how is Anaheim, California like Berlin, Germany?
