TGMG 79: Summer Movie Talk

What do you talk about when one of your hosts has only seen two movies this summer (and talked about both of them), but there's a week before the next one they planned to go to?

Rish and Big talk a tad bit about PROMETHEUS, SNOW WHITE & THE HUNTSMAN, CABIN IN THE WOODS, MADAGASCAR 3, THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, MEN IN BLACK 3, A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, THE PLANET OF THE APES, TANGLED, DARK SHADOWS, and WINNIE THE POOH, as well as AVENGERS, BATTLESHIP, and the BBC PRIDE & PREJUDICE, just for a moment.

Folks, if you really hate Big and Rish, you can skip this episode.

That Gets My Goat 78: 2 D-Bags In A D-Box

Because you demanded it!  Rish Outfield and Big Anklevich experience the wonder and majesty of the BATTLESHIP movie.  And for an additional cost, they got to rock out in the deluxe D-Box motion seat experience.

Was it as bad as they feared?  Could anything be?

That Gets My Goat 76: Avengers Legacy

Big takes the reins in this part of the conversation, mentioning a unique sight in front of the theater while waiting for Rish.  They talk about event pictures, future nostalgia, and their dads, oddly enough.

Blights of the Round Table

Not long ago, we were approached to appear as guests (guest hosts?) on The Roundtable Podcast, which is a show about writing, podcasting, and professional storytelling over at http://www.roundtablepodcast.com/.  It would seem that their next guest writer, R.E. Chambliss, had asked if Rish Outfield and Big Anklevich could be the guest hosts on the episode she appeared on.

Renee has been extraordinarily nice to us over the year(s?), and we were happy to get together for an interview and brainstorming session with Dave Robison and Brion Humphrey, the guys behind Roundtable.

In the first episode, the four of us talk a little about the Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine, and what we've learned as fiction editors (you know the first rule already: "Read it aloud before you send it out").  That's right here: http://www.roundtablepodcast.com/2012/05/20-minutes-with-big-anklevich-and-rish-outfield/

The second episode can be found here: http://www.roundtablepodcast.com/2012/05/workshop-episode-13-guest-hosts-big-anklevich-and-rish-outfield/
That was the one where we talked about Renee's idea.  It's sort of a spin-off of the novel she's just completed, where she takes a subplot from that narrative and, rather brilliantly, develops it as its own potentially-expandable property.*

She talked about her novel, and her ideas for the side project, then we passed the microphone around to ask questions and make suggestions.  It was a lot of fun, and actually kind of fascinating.

We didn't really find out if any of that was helpful to Renee, but she's too classy to have let on if it wasn't.  Even so, it should be pretty entertaining to listen to, whether hours long or edited short.  The conversation went for quite a long time, and I really enjoyed being around such creative people, even if we weren't on the same page, and Rish seemed to think his ideas were more valid than everybody else's in the group.** 

Check out the knights of the Roundtable sometime.  They like to push the pram a lot.

Rish and Big

*Wait, is "property" the right word?  That's a movie industry term, I know . . . but in a way, it's like that, like a spin-off from one show that ended up being more long-lived than the original show.  I know there's examples, but "Joanie Loves Chachi" is the only one that's coming to mind, and that doesn't work.

**Funny, that.  I imagine, if the conversation was about involuntarily sleeping alone, his insights would be more valid than everybody else's.  More experience and all.

TGMG 75: "This Is The Best Effin' Movie I've Ever Seen"

The conversation between Big and Rish about THE AVENGERS movie seems to be never-ending.  Instead of chopping it into many bits, I decided to release a really big one this time, if only to save the episode art.

Oh, and Big often decides to release really big ones too, often without warning.

Pseudo Echo

Of all the podcasts I've ever listened to, the ones I've probably heard the most episodes of would definitely be the Escape Artists shows. Sure, they've been around the longest, so they have more episodes to be heard, but that's beside the point. Those shows are the reason that I have a podcast of my own now. If I hadn't thought that I could do it better than them...no, I'm just kidding. If I hadn't been inspired by their stories and hosts, then there would be no Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine.

I got an email the other day from the editor of Pseudopod asking if I would read a story for his show. I was surprised that they would ask me back after that last time, but there's no understanding taste.

Of course the answer was an immediate yes, despite the fact that I don't have as much time for things like that as I used to. I just couldn't turn that down. We were so busy trying to catch up with all our backed-up Dunesteef stuff that I wound up having to read it on my own without Rish to listen for my eff-ups. I did make him listen to the final product just in case.

And now, here it is, available for anyone to listen to and to scorn. Go check it out. It's a strange tale, but an interesting and fun one. And creepy too. Of course that is what they're going for over there, so that's a plus.
