[Music] Hello, and welcome to Flashcast 46. Prepare yourself for Dumpster Diving, A Secret Love Child, Craigslist is Murder, Buskers, and Thomas Blackhall. [Music] Tonight we have myself, oh, Popodex, or a Tori-Oreal, Jessica May. Hello. Sound Sparrow, Indeed. And JRD. Hello. Word Donkey. You have something on the Tower of Glim, which I've never heard of? Yes, I do. I actually found this while I was looking at George R.R. Martin's website. He's a big fan of miniatures, like little knights and models and stuff. You were going to say something but little people weren't you? I saw that look in your face. Peter Dinklage is a very nice man. Yes, yes. Okay, he's a big fan of miniatures, and he has this one model of a castle, well, I say it's a castle, but it's really a tower house. It's called the Tower of Glim, and it's a Scottish tower house in the outer, he breeds hebrides. I'm not sure exactly how to pronounce that. But it was the home of the clan Laramid, who weren't very well liked by people, and we're rather notorious for being downright dirty folk, Reavers and the bunch. Right. But what's so cool about the Tower of Glim is it's the only castle ever to be sunk by a submarine. Really? Yeah, and that's actually why I thought I'd bring it up, because if you recall, when we were speaking of Ferdinandia last time, if you recall, the Americans had dropped a missile on them thinking that it was a Libyan submarine. Yeah. Well, what happened with the Tower of Glim is in 1918, a German U-boat was cruising the Irish Sea and thought that the turrets of the tower were a superstructure on a freighter, and so they launched some torpedoes and blasted the tower out of existence. Really? Yeah. It was so close to the water's edge that it was done in, and that's hilarious. Yeah. You know, apparently only one person lived there, it wasn't, and I guess it was from this clan Laramid that nobody really liked, so nobody really cares. But yeah. Worked out well enough. Yeah. Imagine, sorry, my castle was sunk by a submarine. There you go. I wonder if I can pass off a tower the next time I try to play battleship with the kids. Well, I have a little item on a much lower key. Have you guys heard about this thing in Ohio? With the Craigslist ad? I've heard nothing about Ohio and Craigslist. Oh, okay. So there's this fellow in Ohio. No, let's actually back this up a step further. Hard times in America these days. I've heard. Tough to get a job. Some people turn into Craigslist, looking for answers, looking for hope. Some people saw an ad 300 a week. Get a free trailer. I'm limited fishing, and you watch over 688 acres of hilly farmland and feed some cows. Okay. That sounds nice. I do it. So we know that there are at least four people who answered the ad. There was a fellow from Virginia. Oh, I don't like where this is going. There was a fellow from the Akron area. One that's, let's just say, unidentified. And a fourth fellow who, the fourth fellow from South Carolina, this is all reading out of a New York Times article, who was hired and driven to the property in rural southern Ohio, was shot in the arm but escaped and alerted the authorities. The farm was in fact land owned by a coal company. So they have owned by a coal company? Yeah. They were obviously just using the land as a con, like there was no job at all. The police think that robbery was the motive, but there's some other theories going around on the ground as there will be identity theft or possibly just desire to kill. Yeah. Hunting people. That's rough. Consider this as, if it's robbery and they're pulling in these folks from out of state, like how much money do they expect to really be bringing with them? Yeah. I suppose. I'm going to rob you for your luggage. Yeah. Why don't you just lurk outside on the airport? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty terrible. To sort of cap this off, the New York Times points out, more bodies may still be found as the bogus advertisement, which was picked up by online job aggregators, drew more than a hundred responses from Ohio and other states. Wow. So, at least a hundred responses, at least three bodies and a winged guy. Geez. How many other people showed up? That's an interesting one. That's a... How many bodies was he able to hide? Almost a collective detective tale. Mm-hmm. I missed those guys. Yeah. There's a story that's going to go up next week that was almost a collective tale, and some of the logistics didn't work out so that they could show up anyway. Man, that one's got such a great theme. Hey, Jamie. I know. It was just for the theme, but apparently it fit in better for a mug and so, whatever. Closer to home. Travelcast. Yeah. Holy crap. Travelcast. Rana... Well, Rana or Promo, but also Norm said some very nice things about us. Very nice. Which I certainly appreciate. So, thanks Norm. Yeah, and actually, huge thanks to Colorado Joe. Yes. Who made it all happen. Made the magic connection. Made it all possible. I always want to hear like a cougar roar or like a hawk cry. Yeah. Can you say Colorado Joe? Colorado Joe. Come on! Yeah. Absolutely. So, yeah. Huge thanks to Joe. He's been working on this project for a while and... Thanks. Yeah. We definitely appreciate it. It was totally, totally worth it. Mm-hmm. Absolutely. Thanks. Got a new mob winner? Actually speaking of Joe. Nice. Yes. Joe's Linda. Or Colorado's Linda. Hockey. Hockey Linda. Yeah. Hockey Linda won the stickers in the mob for the latest caption contest if you guys want to. My favorite joke from the last Flashcast was a hockey stick, hockey stick, puck, puck, puck. For Linda. Yeah. We'll be posting up a new classic pulp cover on Monday to re-captain. Mm-hmm. Yeah. The last one. I really enjoyed it. I found everybody's. It was quite hilarious. Mm-hmm. I found the likes were evenly distributed, so that was hard to decide. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it was tough. It was a close one. There's a lot of good ones. But... But you know what? If you didn't win this time, Dragon next time is always next time. There's always more stickers to send out. Mm-hmm. In other news close to home, David Dakulu went, who was working on, we mentioned last episode, the Empire State RPG. Mm-hmm. Uh, he very kindly mentioned on the Twitter that he might be wrangled into assisting with some Flashpulp RPGs. Oh, that'd be so cool. I already have some pretty solid ideas, I believe, for both Mulligan and Coffin. Mm-hmm. Um, it would be fun to put out different lines that sort of interlocked with each other. Yeah. And I'll make the sandwiches, and for those of you who aren't in our home, I'll make the virtual sandwiches. Yes, well. That's great. That's great. Oh. Dakulu also involved with our guest facades coming up for the holidays. That's right. Uh, we have some more nibbles, some people considering. I know they've mentioned via the back channels that they might be sending us something in and I'd be very excited to hear it. Mm-hmm. You know what? I still haven't got back to any of the people who have sent in the fan stuff, but, uh, I have read them and they're really great, so I'm going to be sending out an email to, I guess, a bunch of people. People do a mass email of my general editing guidelines for when you send in a guest episode. You may note sporadic laughter or, uh, maniacal screaming in the background. We are actually hosting an eight year old's birthday party just at the moment. Mm-hmm. A nine year old. Oh, sorry right now. Nine year old, yes. Mr. Nine. Well, he's almost nine on Sunday. Some of our UK listeners may already be familiar with this story. It's not entirely populated, but I thought it was kind of fun. Um, I thought a pope especially would find it interesting. Around certain locations, libraries, museums, somebody has been leaving pieces of art, and their beautiful little handcrafted pieces, uh, usually made of paper and printed materials. Mm-hmm. Um, there's been gloves, like a, uh, very delicate bird hat, um, there was actually a tiny T-rex bursting out of a book that was really fantastic, and the detail is amazing. I totally love birds. I've got to see this. It's a very interesting thing because as the idea of paper publishing dies, it's interesting to see the sort of art projects bring up around it, to try to revive these, well, not necessarily draw attention to it. Right. To show, to show its worth, right? Yeah, to show appreciation to some of the paper-based places. Hm. And nobody knows who's doing it? No. She says that the artist has remained, remained it entirely anonymous, um, she's left notes, she's made it clear that she's a she. Okay. Um, and she's actually specifically cited certain Twitter accounts that she would like to give thanks to. I also found that interesting because it kind of bridges the gap between the old dead wood and the modern electronic publishing. Mm-hmm. An electronic presence. That, and if you're going to gain any sort of publicity, it's, you know, it's a good idea to put it somewhere, um, that you would like that spotlight to be placed. Not necessarily. Mm-hmm. But something that's also worthwhile. Yeah, despite, despite the artists going out of their way to highlight very classic kind of places, the buzz for this sort of thing is impossible without the internet. I mean, you might get a local paper picking it up otherwise, but this becomes a worldwide story, as I now point out that this article came from NPR. Yeah. Yeah. So. That's so cool. The internet, this sort of, we have a little theme going here. Ray Bradbury. Oh, Ray Bradbury. Now '91, curmudgeonly '91, has finally allowed his book Fahrenheit 451 to be published in digital format. Mm-hmm. It'll be releasing it, uh, I believe Tuesday. Now Bradbury, I, who I love deeply, I have a love of his stories. I have a love of his fiction. But he, well, let me quote from the article, Bradbury himself has been an emphatic defender of traditional paper tech, saying the ebooks smell like burn fuel and calling the internet nothing but a big distraction. [laughter] That's so great. Also you kids get off my lawn. Yeah. No crap. It's meaningless. It's not really told The New York Times in 2009. It's in the air somewhere. In the tubes. It's in the tubes. It's a series of tubes. Anyway, I love Bradbury, but at some point he disengaged and he just decided he was going to float around in 1930. Yeah. Okay. When you get to B91, you get to do that sort of thing. Well, I hope people make it worthwhile for them and give them a little chunk of change for it. Mm-hmm. Now, still along the same themes of digital publishing, Hammer, you know, the British movie production house. Absolutely. Yes. Uh, both of classic and modern films. Hammer has, uh, launched a website where they'll do print-on-demand for their posters. Oh, that's awesome. All of the classic film posters, including the new ones, but I mean, you can get the Frankenstein and Monster from Hell or whatever, and they provide them in sort of a restored or aged format. Cool. And it's so awesome. Can you, like, do you have the option of matting and framing or? Oh, I assume they'll be able to fill in, you know, it's probably, this may even be a high route to Zazzle or something like that, but at the same time, it's pretty fantastic. It is great. That's awesome. I would definitely, like, anything to bring, you know, a round of resurgence or, you know, that's awesome. I want to go there and pick some. Yeah. To round off the theme, though, and sort of some things up, I think it's worth mentioning that Comixology, which is sort of the leading comic app for the iPhone, iPad. Comic-slatch drink mixing app. Yeah. Yeah. They've actually captured 50% of the first day publishing market at this point. It means that half of the new comics that hit the market are available immediately on the iPhone or iPad at the same time. And they've managed to capture all of the major sources, Marvel DC, whatever. And so at this point, they're basically pulling in the more indie fellows, but that's a huge number to have achieved in such a short time, because they've only been publishing comics online for the last year or two or whatever. Yeah. And it goes to show that, like, even though, like, the way that publishing is changing, there is a way that people can still, you know, make money, and technology can still go on and change and adapt. At some point, I don't know if it's when people hit a certain age or what it is where they just stop, where they start fearing technology and moving for it. And they're like, "Oh, I just wish it was the way it was." Yeah. Well, the other thing to consider is that this sort of cheap distribution is always where pulp emerges, that's exactly where pulp comes from originally, right? And comics and original, you know, dime novels, the whole bit, where they could just churn them out and send them off to folks. It's in this sort of low bar environment that people with talent that you wouldn't expect like a Jack Kirby, no one sets out to find Jack Kirby. No one's going to have a resume handed in by a Jack Kirby and think, "Guilex giant hands and sort of archaic myths, let's go with it." I don't, you know, it's those kinds of fields in which people can shine when you least expect it because the risk is so low. Like if you can distribute a comic and either you make money or you don't, but you just have to spend the grand or whatever to produce it, it's a much different thing than printing you know, 50,000 copies and sitting on them in the hopes that they're actually going to sell. Sorry, Bradbury. So, just a quick note, something we mentioned last episode, John Carter, I know people are getting excited. There's some new posters out, I'll include in the show notes. People actually seem quite apprehensive, but yeah, well yes, people are excited to be indignant over it. I think people are hopeful, but not necessarily willing to invest. Anyway, the new posters show Tharks, which are the green multi-armed males of the Martian species. Of course. The white gorillas, which are mentioned extensively in the books, and just some general nieces. Yeah, so what's not to love? Well, still images generated by computers are not necessarily the same thing as a solid two-hour film. In other upcoming movie news, I saw this clip from Ghost Protocol, the new Mission Impossible movie, and there's these two ladies, I don't even know the actresses' names, I'm sorry, and they're having a kung fu fight, and the entire time I'm just thinking this is a kill-bill ripoff. But then I had this weird moment where I thought, can anything really be a kill-bill ripoff when kill-bill is, and I love Quentin Tarantino, I'm not trying to rip on the guy, but everything he's done in the modern period has been an homage, if you will, has been a riff on something that's come previously, and that fight scene is just another, it's like, let's put ladies into the intense kung fu fight scene. I actually just heard a joke about the same sort of Tarantino thing just recently, something saying his most recent film was actually an homage to a Tarantino film that he loved in his youth. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. Did you guys hear about Judy Lewis? Who? I don't know who Judy Lewis is. Poor Judy Lewis died recently, the age of 76. Well, we're sorry, 76, really, that's, well, I don't want to say that's young, but that's not that old. I want to die when I'm older than that. Yeah. I expect to live fully at 76. No. Well, no, not fully, because that means that it's like, full and at an end, right? Anyway, I want to live past 76. Okay, well, the tragic young age of 76, she passed away. We'll say. Yeah. More interestingly, maybe she was the secret daughter of Clark Gable and Loretta Young. Okay, which one's Loretta Young? You would maybe know where to see her, but not know her to have me describe the films to you. Yeah, okay. A night to remember would be the one that I know her best from, but I don't know that you've seen that film. Clark Gable, wow. What did Scarlet think of this? She was okay now to make it like the Jack Nicholson thing where he was raised by his grandparents. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that, that was so creepy. Loretta Young raised Judy as her adopted daughter, weird, and the woman only found out that she was actually her, yeah, her for realsies daughter in 1994. Whoa. Oh, she may have learned earlier, sorry, she revealed it in 1994. She may have learned earlier. I'm not sure. Okay, so that was going to be like, how old was she? But I know that for a long time she was raised as the adopted daughter. Wow. Secret love affair, secret love child. Ooh. Yeah. So that was insane. And then you think she died at 76? Did she drink herself to death between 1994 and now? Because she'd just been in the bottle. Yeah. Well, I don't know, maybe. Maybe. So we have to say there's no fish this week. It's finals week. Yes. Precious. And he's a busy fellow. Can't blame him. I think this might be the first week he's ever missed. Maybe the second at tops. I think previously, even when we thought we were going to miss fish, it was a play-breaking fish. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But he did post up some interesting items for us to discuss. Nice. One of them in his Facebook page, there's a new lady joining Alice Eve, I don't really know her very well, joining the Star Trek cast, who knows. The more interesting fact to me is that that same article that he posted about her joining mentions that Benicio del Toro is already tapped to be on board with the film. Really? Now, he thought that this Alice Eve lady coming on board, and I'm going to get shouted at by somebody telling me, "Oh, she's, you know, such and such from so and so," but I thought it'd interesting. If Benicio's on board, I'm even more leaning towards this being a con sequel. Really? You don't think so? What, you think Benicio del Toro as con? Yeah. Con. When he does that sort of slimy, fear and loathing in Las Vegas, drug doubt kind of menacing, he's excellent at it. Um, what was it called? The usual suspects. Mm-hmm. Yeah, well, no, that was fun, but I don't necessarily want Con to just be muttering all the time. I do. Kirk. What? What? If it is Benicio as con, do you think that they will do a con scene? I, if they do the con movie, I, they have to. You know, it'd be really funny if, like, they got them to say it just slightly different, slightly, you'll be like, "Con, and they call it." What? So much would be so great. Yeah, it'd be so great. Oh, I can't wait just for that now. Yes. So we'll see. Fish also wanted to mention that he has another hint, which is that one of his previous hints is false. Oh, no. So he's turned this into some sort of mind game. Yeah, I'm sure he meant that, mentioned that. One of these things is false, and one of these things is true. There are four lights. You're at a fork in the road, and you have the two tribesmen. You know, one tribe always tells the truth, and one tribe always lies, but you don't know which one is which. It's time for "Spot of Father." "Spot of Father." When I was a kid, growing up in the country, we didn't have the life. The luxury of weekly trash collection. Living in a rural environment has its joys and benefits, however, city services is not one of them. We had several large metal collection cans behind our house, and when they were full, we'd load them into the back of Dad's pickup truck and take a ride down to the nearest dumpster, which just happened to be at the elementary school that I was attending at the time. In retrospect, I wonder now if that was even legal. Everyone used it, so it must have been, right? Anyway, on one especially sunny Saturday, I happened to notice a large shiny object near the top of the heap. It turned out to be a large round mirror in perfectly good shape. I talked Dad into fishing it out for me. We took the mirror home, he made an amazing handcrafted frame for it, and I used it for years afterward. This was the first of several dumpster diving adventures that I have personally embarked upon. However, my rare rummaging is nothing compared to that of Professor Jeff Farrell of Texas. Here's more from Reuters. University Professor Jeff Farrell is something of a U.S. urban Robinhood. Although what he gives away is not stolen, but the result of dumpster diving. The Texas Christian University Professor of Sociology sifts through dumpsters and gives the vast majority of what he finds to the needy or to friends. He has also managed to furnish his living room with what is left, filled the tools shed with a collection of everything from screws to power tools, and never pays for a bar of soap or office supplies. Farrell, 57, has been known to give scrounged food to friends in the form of pre-packaged never-opened cocktail nuts, and because he gathers the goods on a bicycle, most of his finds are from dumpsters near his home. The energetic, lanky professor with spiky hair is passionate about the ill-effects of consumerism on society. "I think it's appalling on the level of just sheer waste and full landfills," he said in an interview at his house. "I think it's also profoundly disturbing giving the level of need in our society." Farrell's wife, Karen, buys groceries and not all her clothes come from the dumpster, and some of their furnishings did not come from the trash either. But Farrell says he never buys clothes for himself. Scrounging is his word for what he does. When he moved to Texas ten years ago from Arizona, Farrell decided to live off other people's discards. He blames a rushed culture for the habit of throwing things away instead of donating them to charity. "The stuff needs to be put back in the rhythm of our society," he says. When an iPhone comes out every six months, that absolutely causes iPhones to be thrown away. Farrell, who is also a visiting criminology professor at the University of Kent in England, has written nine books, including Empire of Scroung, published in 2006. He said he detects a meanness in our society towards the poor. "We don't think they're deserving," he said. "That's where I command to intervene to that person." Farrell sorts his findings in a room at the back of the house. He knows what is needed where. A stack of thick wool blankets is for the homeless shelters, which also need backpacks and blue jeans. A small shop near his home gets small appliances and other items. Once he supplied a group of immigrant students at TCU who were learning how to service their bicycles with sets of tools for each of them. Still more stored in the shed behind his house where every wall, the floor and the ceiling are covered with hanging tools and parts. His friends also get clothes. Farrell keeps track of shoe, shirt, blouse and dress sizes and shops for them. He has seldom had problems with police or store owners. "I found that being a good community member and being kind resolves all problems," Farrell said. "I try to leave a neater situation than what I come to." "I'm Jeffrey Lynch and that's This Week's Spot of Father." I think the economic situation continues to not be all that great. "Frigganism is going to become increasingly in the news." "Yeah, I've heard that before." "Great job, Jeff. Really bother some peace. I think what's bother is the implication of our eventual decadent collapse." "Yeah. I personally like less so now, but I used to throw at a lot of stuff that was still good. But I've been making more of a habit to bring things down to the Salvation Army." "Yeah, that's good." "Yeah." "But I too did a lot of garbage picking. Well, not a lot, but there was garbage picking and it was always great stuff." "You know what I liked about being in an apartment was that kind of culture of if you had something that was good and like still in, you know, K-shape, you'd put it downstairs in the garbage room and you know, everyone would assess it as they worked by it." "Yeah, exactly. And chances are it would be gone and I've got some pretty cool stuff like that." "To be fair, that's the exact same mentality that goes behind the free sign on a recliner left at the curb or..." "Yeah, but that's like outside, you know." "Well, that requires a truck, I understand, but that's the non-apartment living version of that." "Have either or why have you heard a free cycle before?" "Yes." "Yeah, we have a friend who actually participates fairly regularly." "That's a really great program for people and basically like you hope that your community has one and if it doesn't, go ahead and set one up. It's generally a message board it starts up with and people start leaving things if they have something that they're getting rid of, you know, put it there and maybe somebody will leave it." "Ya know, grows their bike, grows their bike, it's slightly battered but still usable. Put it on a free cycle and off it goes to somebody new." "Yeah." "Okay, well thanks a lot, Jeff. You can find all of Jeff's work at bothersomethings.com. He posts text version of all of his articles as well as extra show notes, some images, and sometimes the occasional extra blurb." "The curious tales of Vienna. The devil and the boyous wife. In the 16th century, they leave the boyia in Vienna. His name was Kaspar Pergawa. His business went well and he was very satisfied with his daily doing. He could have been the happiest man on earth if there hadn't been his wife Ozola. Kaspar had married her because of her beauty and her money but his friends had warned him. She was well known for her sharp tongue. "Well, after some years the beauty was gone. Her money was spent and it turned out that she preferred to use her evil tongue to attack her husband. She rented and raved the whole day long. Kaspar had indeed a very hard life. To escape his wife Kaspar went to the pub every evening. When he arrived home late at night Ozola waited him with a shower of curses and at least with her rolling pin. One evening after a big quarrel he left home and wandered aimlessly through the streets of Vienna. Finally, he found himself at St. Peter's Cemetery, exhausted his set down on an old gravestone. He sighed, "I can't live with this wife anymore. May the devil take her. Oh shall I take?" Suddenly an eerie sinister figure had appeared in front of the boyer. "I'm there when you call me. What can I do for you?" "Oh, well," Kaspar gave in, "you don't have to take her necessarily, but maybe you can scare her a bit or teach her a better behavior." Then he added depressed, "but I suppose even for you this shoe is a hard nut to crack." "That would be ridiculous if I weren't able to do this." Bosed at the devil, "but you know I don't work for free." For a moment the devil considered, then Kaspar heard his conditions. If I managed to change your life to a tame lamp within the next three days, you may still enjoy a beautiful life here on earth for many years, but then when you die I get your soul. If I can't make it, which is all but impossible, then I don't take your soul no matter how you've lived your life because then you have already paid the penalty of all your sins on earth at the sight of your wife. The boy agreed. And keep away from your house for the next three days. The devil added before he disappeared. The Goodman noted, "He smiled relieved. The next morning the devil appeared in the person of Kaspar Pergo and whose house. He had decided to try it first of all in kindness. Softly he leaned over the still sleeping ozzler in order to kiss her awake. She opened her eyes, saw her alleged husband and started her rant immediately. She called him a vicious troublemaker who would spoil her life already down and in this way she continued to chat the whole day long. The mouth of the craftwoman worked like a mill wheel she the puzzle devil couldn't get a word in edge-wise. When her anger reached a particular level she had no shy to slap the stunned devil. At the end of the day the devil had a black eye but not the bit of success in taming the boy's wife. On the second day the devil tried to talk sense with the woman. He explained her what she did wrong, that she shouldn't curse and how a good wife should behave. She just listened, widely. The devil thought the lady that this method seemed to bring success. But then, at midday, she flared up and shouted angrily, "Who do you think you are? You dare to teach me how to behave? I work hard for you every day and you just nag and criticize." A load of reproaches held upon your lodged husband and in her fury she snatched a pot of hot soup from the stove and put the boiling broth over the devil's head. He screamed out loud then he ran as fast as he could. Having his breath back he said, "You scathing woman, tomorrow you will get know me." On the third day he came back to Ozzula in his original form. Ozzula seemed truly astonished. "I've tried in goodness and really got to bring you to reason," he cried. Now my patience has an end. From now on you are as gentle as a lamp, otherwise you get a nasty surprise. Now my patience has an end. Imitated Ozzula the devil's word after she had picked up her courage again, "You threaten me?" Now my patience has an end, surprised by her reaction the devil flinched. Now she grabbed him by his horns and tore them so strongly that one of the horns broke. The devil was completely taken aback, meanwhile Ozzula had grabbed her rolling pin and hit the devil until he took leave of his senses. That was even for the devil too much. On the hellish stench of sulfur he disappeared through the chimney. The poor Casper Pegauer lived a long time, and with his wife at his side he paid for all his sins already on earth, when he died he got straight to heaven. You can imagine that Ozzula didn't get into heaven after her death, but she didn't get into hell as well. That devil strictly denied her entrance, so her restless soul is still wandering around in various forms, and from time to time you hear someone telling that he has met her. I really liked at the end how the devil wouldn't even accept her, and she's doomed to walk like the earth as a rational soul. I think we've just essentially met the Viennese bunny. Yeah, right? Yeah, that was great, thanks very much Ingrid. Yeah, I really liked that, thanks. And I was saying while we were listening too, I really loved the way you do your devil voices. Oh yes, one of my favorites, absolutely. They sound very menacing and creepy, conniving. You can find more of Ingrid's conniving, you can find more of Ingrid's fantastic work at vienneselegends.blockspot.com and her poetry at dancingelib.blockspot.com. Go there, I demand it. And I second that. Guess what? What? Mailbag! Just a little reminder up front, you can send your comments, questions, or suggestions to comments@flashpulp.com or call us at 206-338-2792. First up, we have a call from the past. Hello Flashpulp Crew. I'm coming at you again from the front lines of the temporal cold war. I've got quite a few rambling notes collected since last time, so let's get right to it. First, I've been meaning to mention a podcast that was recommended to me. It's the HP podcast. I haven't started yet, I'm waiting to catch up to you guys first. But it's a podcast about all things Lovecraft, and the guy recommended it to me is a huge Lovecraft fan, so I'm sure it's good. I'd like to go back a few spotted bothers, where he mentioned the giant hogweed. I wonder if you were familiar with an older Genesis song back when Gabriel and Hackett were still in the van, called Return of the Giant Hogweed. It's the story of the plant being introduced into England, only in their version the plant wages war on the human race, and seems to be winning by the end. Interestingly, that period of their music had a lot of story-based songs that one could argue, or at least I would, are almost pulp stories. You mentioned busker camp and buskers on a couple of different episodes recently. That reminds me of one of my personal Canadian connections, or perhaps I should say my Canadian connection A. Oh, okay, that's pretty bad. The first time I came across that term, I was in Ottawa for about a month on a short-term assignment for my employer. Suddenly, all these signs and banners went up for a busker festival. I had to ask someone what it was because I'd never heard the term before. Also, I'm sorry to hear about your bout with food poisoning. I can't hear anyone talk about that without thinking about the worst case I ever had. Oddly enough, it was another Canadian connection. I was in Montreal on my first Mississippi trip ever. The last day of the trip was nothing but meetings. That morning, my manager and I both came down with a horrible case, likely from the dinner the night before. It was so miserable for those meetings, but was even worse with the flight back that evening. So you have my sympathy, especially with it running through the household. Also, I'm sorry Jessica May had to run face to face with racism. I grew up in a very rural southern area, and I saw it quite alive, but it is dying. Now it seems mostly pushed to the dark corners, and eventually enough light will shine into them to eliminate it once and for all. I'm glad you and all the regular callers who were in the path of Irene are okay. The storm may landfall about 30 miles from my mom's house. She lost some shingles and had some water damage inside, but since she's had a few falls in recent years, she's been living with us. We have lucky enough to have an in-law apartment, so we can make sure she's okay. So other than having to arrange repairs from afar, it wasn't too much of an inconvenience for her or us. It would have been different for all of us had it going more westward. Speaking of regular callers, Barry's calls always make me think of a fun New York City trip I took a few years ago with a group of friends. We did what I like to call an urban hike through Manhattan. We started at the cloisters in northern Manhattan and worked down the west side cutting over by Columbia through Central Park down by Ground Zero and eventually to Battery Park. It was 19 odd miles punctuated by sampling lots of food, the architecture, a few geocaches, and local color from a couple of New Yorkers who were with us. The best part was probably pizza at Johns on Blacker Street at the end. And getting off my feet, of course. I missed the follow-up trip they did in San Francisco, but we're starting to talk about another one next year in Chicago, Boston, or perhaps a different route in New York. The point is I've heard you guys talk about wanting to visit New York City, so I encourage you when you finally get to, to set aside some time to try your own hike like this if you can. You really get the feel for the differences between all the neighborhoods as you travel through them. Switching gears to movies, you mentioned the changeling. That happens to be one of my favorite scary movies ever. In fact, I think it may be one of the very few that no matter how many times I've seen it, it still gives me chills when I watch it. I think the fact that there is no gore and they let your mind fill in some of the blanks is exactly what makes it so effective at being scary. There's also been a lot of talk about truck captains recently in your podcast. I take it they did not like Enterprise. I thought it was an OK series, and I like the prequel time setting. One of the problems with the next-gen universe was that the technology and federation had become a little too advanced in some ways. Enterprise had the refreshing change of putting them in the definite underground position. What really killed it, and I referenced it in the intro, was the temporal Cold War story arc. That was a stinker. So far as favorite captain, no love for Captain Harriman, played by Alan Ruck aka Cameron from Ferris Bueller in Generations. Sorry, I just had to be contrarian on that one. Fish mentioned pulpy video games and talked about Fallout. I disagree about calling it pulpy. There are a lot of retro elements and a little tongue and cheek humor in the series, but I always consider it more epic sci-fi, much like its cousin, the Elder Scrolls series, or epic fantasy. Now, there are a lot of great pulpy video games, like the older Max Payne and the more recent LA Noire. Ok, I've rambled too long, but back to the topic of Flashpulp. It seems there hasn't been an episode of Joe Monk in a very long time. What's happened to him? Is he lost in space? But speaking of lost, where is episode 200? I just hit 201 and realized there was no 200 in the feed. Are you just playing with me? Are you trying to gaslight me? Is there a temporal anomaly? Did episode 200 travel back in time and kill its own father? I'm on the edge, guys. You gotta help me out. What's going on? As always, Talcawrick Rises, this is Rich and Raleigh. I love that he used the term gaslighting. What I love about his panicked confusion about 200 is that we will now respond to him and assure him 200 is coming and don't worry about it, but at the same time he's already going to know by then. He's going to actually probably send us another one going, "Alright, seriously, guys, where's 200?" I love how, like, Impassiony seems like, "What the heck, what are you doing?" Like we're doing things to him just to mess him up the whole way through. We should just start responding to questions entirely different episodes than the one he asks them. To go to the Joe Monk thing, Joe Monk stories, and this is also true of collective detective tales, and I would also argue mother-grand stories. And the victorious? And the victorious, yes, very sure. Only come when they come. Like, I can find an interesting hook for a story and wrap a mulligan tail around it. I can also sometimes use that same premise and hook it in, well, you might imagine that depending on the hook, you might be able to transfer it between a coffin or a black hall if it's sort of a fantasy thing, and if it's more of a crimey thing, then it falls into the mulligan bin. Isn't it ironic that you would say the hook when referring to a black hall on coffin? But to come up with a very solid, collective detective or Joe Monk takes a little more time unfortunately and we're not made of time people, yeah, we're always rushing. It's like, get home, do this, this, write a story, record it, go, go, go, go, go to sleep. Oh wait, there's eating there somewhere. Oh man, a couple days ago, I forgot it was my turn to wake up in the morning and I realized this at like one in the morning. Oh, it's terrific. Yeah, I think it was a wrap. I think I would have enjoyed Enterprise a lot more if they had played to the early Federation aspect a little bit and just having it almost, I don't want to say Star Wars-ian, but just feel a little more firefly, a little more rough and tumble and a little less weird, you're absolutely right about this temporal Cold War situation, like there were just so many ridiculous decisions they made for some reason that just did not hold it together for me. Geek props to Scott Baccula, but not the right captain. He can't carry the whole ship, you know? Yes, he can. Sam, Sam. I love the idea of the New York Urban Hike. That is awesome. Because whenever you go on any sort of trip, you're always like, you get dropped off at these spots, but you never really understand like the geography of the whole place. Well, and I'm sure you couldn't in a day, but it's a really, really good idea. I'm really interested to hear that, uh, Time Traveler Rich likes geocaching too. Mm-hmm. You should totally plan, like, a New York trip. Yeah. And whoever can make it should come. Yeah, that'll be awesome. This might also be a good time to remind people that we will be at Toronto Fan Expo next year. That's right. Yep. Hanging a boot. Definitely a long ways ahead, but if you want to make travel arrangements, we can buy ya coke. Yeah, and, uh, maybe we'll discuss where we're staying, we can maybe get a group rate or something. It's early, but remember it, put it on your calendars and save your pennies because we're gonna be there. That's considered. You know what, Rich? Actually, I thought it was really funny that you were talking about your experience with the buskers in Ottawa because I am from Ottawa, and, uh, there's a pretty good chance that I was at that buskers festival. Mm-hmm. Unless it was, like, within the last maybe eight years, maybe a little bit... Previous to that, she has deep busker roots. Yep. She basically lived the Kearney life. Oh, yeah. I was real Kearney. No. Not at all. But, yeah. She's blown fire out of her mouth since the early '74. It's fantastic how the internet, on sort of that same topic, it's fantastic how the internet has turned us all into these, um, secret agents in which we don't feel comfortable talking about our day job, because we don't really want to associate our online identity. So we come up with phrases like, "I was sent on a short-term assignment by my employer." Yes. Which sounds like you were sent to kill a man in Ottawa. Hahaha. Maybe he was. Hahaha. It was a very short-term assignment. It sounds much more interesting though. Hahaha. Yes. Which, the ninja. The time traveling ninja. Ninja assassin. Time traveling ninja assassin. That's pretty badass. It's fun to hear him reference something like Irene and sort of get a feel for how far back he is. Yeah. Yeah. Irene. That's right. But I'm glad to hear his family made it out, okay? It's always... Yeah. I remember when people were preparing for that and we were talking about it. Obviously, Rich remembers too because he's just been just had it. Just had it. I mean it's really weird because it's almost like in my mind Irene is just happening to Rich right now. I know. So it's like wherever he is, there's a hurricane. Get to the TARDIS, Rich. Get to the TARDIS. Just over Rich. Yeah. I hope you do well. You get a raincoat. There's so much that happens in the future, man, you have no idea. Wait, wait, wait. Let me just say Herman Cain. We really got away from the classic idea of writing rock songs about fantasy and science fiction sort of topics, or are they falling into geek corners too much, but not so much mainstream? Yeah. We basically like, there's three topics people write songs about now and they all have the same cliches. Which is highly unfortunate. But I love that epic tale by Led Zeppelin about traveling to the dark tower. Not the dark tower. Yeah, I know. I know. I'm mixing mine. You're mixing your fandoms there. You're going to get somebody angry. And considering the one other fandom, you might get somebody shot. Yeah. But yeah, we don't do that as much. It's interesting to hear there was a Genesis song, I'll have to actually go look it up. Or at least the music that is written about sci-fi fantasy and stuff. We really don't hear very much. Well, it feels to some extent, and maybe this is just me, like there are quite a number of bands actually writing on those topics. Yeah, you were just telling me about the Harry Potter. Yeah, they all wear Harry Potter costumes while we're doing so. Well, to loop back to gourd, can you ever imagine a fresh band coming out in the mode of gour? Well, I guess Daft Punk, right? They usually have some sort of robotic head gear on or something. Do you remember what is Da Funk? Remember the video for that? Mm-hmm. It was a whole little story. It wasn't really an epic fantasy story, but... Yeah, I guess that's getting on a topic. The guy had a dog head. Yeah. That's not normal. I don't know if I should ever like that sound. And I'll definitely have to check out HP podcast. Yeah, I was very happy to hear it had nothing to do with printers. Okay. I believe we've got a little something from our good friend Jake Antor. Hey, guys. It's Ray. Sorry it's been so long, um, you know, work stuff. I just listened to Flashcast 44 this evening, a couple of comments. I'm fantasy over sci-fi first, but sci-fi is an extremely close second. It's actually, it was a hard debate for myself to come up with that final decision, but I'm comfortable with it now. My very first movie that I recall seeing when I probably shouldn't have seen it would be Porky's. Yeah. I was far too young. I don't know how I got my Gravy Paws on that movie or why I watched it, but there it is. Um, with that being said, you guys have been pulling out some great work. The Skinner Co. inks have been hilarious and I'm looking forward to them. Just to me, your music has been awesome. I just finished the last Mulligan three-parter. I haven't read anything beyond that. I thought that three-parter was excellent as well. Jaredy, excellent work is always fantastic. I also want to take a guess if it hasn't already been guessed as to which movie 3D Fish is talking about. I'm going to say Rise of the Planet of the Apes. That's what I'm going to go with. Anyway, I'm going to keep this short and sweet and I got more work stuff coming up. Whoo! So, um, I will talk to you guys later looking forward to seeing everything you guys are coming out with and hope everyone's had a great American Thanksgiving and anybody else who decided to just eat turkey because turkey is awesome. Iceland stuff. Have a good one, guys. See ya. Ooh, very interesting guess for Fish's Sticker Trivia contest. Yeah, that's right. Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I'd forgotten about that one. Uh, I believe Fish was very enthusiastic about it at the time. Mm, yeah. So, uh, Porky's. I believe Porky's probably took a lot of people's cinematic virginity. You know what? I don't remember anything about that movie. Somebody's scream. I only remember a lot of, like, people's scenes. Okay. Yeah. Well. It was, it was sort of the original high school antics film. Oh, yeah. To be followed by things like, well, maybe not high school. Maybe it was college. No, it was high school, but don't they all really lump together? Things like Animal House and- I've never seen that either. Have you never been an 18 to 24 year old male? No, no. Well, then you probably haven't ever seen these films. You know what? I have a movie that I remember seeing when I was really, really young and being too young to understand, like, any of the jokes going on, but still being like, this would be really funny if I were a little bit older. It was, uh, the party with Peter Sellers. I don't know why it captured me so so greatly. Well, I think Sellers has a lot of visual aspect to his comedy, the way he presents his comedy, but at the same time, I can see how the jokes might be a little over your head. I also- 13 number? Yeah. It is a good movie, although his work is a little uneven in places, I think. He was great. Uh, Gigantor actually brings up a personal pet peeve of mine while I'm at it. He was balancing the sci-fi, uh, fantasy scale for his personal decision as to which side he fell on. That's a fair enough call after the recent Delvin to the most of the death son. Mm-hmm. What originally brought up the question, but, uh, what really bothers me is when you're in a video place, and I realize this is a dying beast in and of itself, but you find in the horror section, you'll end up often with horror/fantasy or, like, fantasy/sci-fi. And to me, these things do not really necessarily belong in the same area. I don't necessarily want to pick up legend when I'm shopping for a horror film. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that dancing dress is kind of creepy, but- Willow? Um. He gets turned into a kid, doesn't he? I'm not afraid of little people. I love Peter Dinklage, a little too much, maybe. Wow. Lannisters pay their debts. Thanks for calling, right? Always great to hear from you. Mm-hmm. Also, winter is coming. Actually, it's here. We had a lot of snow today. Yeah, I heard for Jack Antor what's happened as well, because he's gone back in his cave and doesn't plan on coming out because he saw all the Christmas shoppers and it's frightened him. So as it turns out, Ned was right. Yep. But it didn't help him. Nope. Anyway. Well, just above that jingle-jangle of the consuming crowds, I believe I hear- yes, is that a distant call of Colorado Joe? Here's a cup of Joe for mobsters at home, it's Colorado Joe. Hello, Flashcast crew and fellow mobsters. First, would like to address why I can't ignore texts in the middle of the night. In a word, I have kids. Cell phones are the baby monitors of the 21st century. I'm not trying to bring you down, but you never stop worrying about your kiddos, even after they leave the nest. While I agree that Burrough's Mars series was a bit sexist, it can at least claim to be a victim of the times it was written in and has the trappings of romance around it. When you mentioned outlaws of gore, I had a flashback to my discovery of Norman's gore books in my youth. We didn't have HBO or the net, so these books have to be my moment of inappropriate discovery. As I was 12 at the time, it was the taboo nature of the material that grabbed my attention, while the misogynistic message was lost on me. Fortunately, I had some good role models and realized soon that the author was a sick pervert. Have not seen the movie, we'll probably pass. Yet another week of great stories, the killer maggots in Food for Thought, sort of reminded me of the mind control bugs in Wrath of Khan, and props to everyone's favorite imprecatory alcoholic, good on you, Bunny. As for Wild Kingdom, it reminded me of the Brando Broderick flick, The Freshman. Though in that movie, they were faking the killing of endangered species. The commonality was that both stories highlight how there are people out there who revel in destruction as a means of propping up their own egos. A baffling character trait that, if I may borrow one of Barry's catchphrases, is imponderable. Hope everyone in the mob has a great week. May not check in next week, we're off to visit our daughter. If we're lucky, and the weather cooperates, and she can get a plane, the plan is to go flying with her. This will be my second flight with her, and Linda's first. We're both very excited. Take care. Enjoy the flight, Joe, I really hope it's a fun time. Yeah, you as well Linda, I hope you're not frightened. Yeah, that's super cool. Yeah, I hope it's not like the first time you drive with your teenage kid. Yeah. Or you're not quite sure. Anyway. More throttle, come on. But she's up. You can't park here. She's a racer though, so it's an entirely different matter. Yeah. She's a pulpiro. That's right. Absolutely agreed about. The movie Outlaw of Gore is actually ridiculous because the whole premise of the film is that the main character is against slavery, and if you're actually familiar with the books, the whole sexual deviant concept is that Gore is a world of slavery, and there's all kinds of sexy time, mandatory man-handling going on. Really? You see, this is another movie I know absolutely nothing about. Right, Outlaw of Gore is just a harmless, almost beastmaster ripoff. It's very child friendly, but I mean, there's a lot of butt shots and thongs. That's about as far as you're going to go with it. There's no friendly butt shots. Yeah, well, I'm saying it's not entirely child friendly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. A child of the 80s. Yeah. Great point about kids and cell phones. I think I've mentioned before that I'm not allowed to call my mom after a certain hour because after 10 p.m., it's only dead people who... It's only dead people who call? Yeah, it's only dead folk who call. No, it's only regarding dead folk after 10 p.m. Yeah. Or a sick folk. Yeah. Emergency-wise. Exactly. So I totally understand that, and I suspect I'll be exactly the same way once they... No, they can call me anytime. No, I mean that any text messages that arrive in the middle of the night will immediately be checked and/or responded to just your case. Absolutely. Mm-hmm. Okay. Well, that's it for mailbag, so let's check in with... Are you a dassy? Oh, ho! So I tried once again, very to record your ditty. I sat on a towel in my shower. Mm. And I had a really nice echo, and I haven't had a whole lot of time to look at it because I've been trying to feed little nine-year-olds, but I think I've got to do it again. I think it was way too echo-y. I think like you can hardly even hear me kind of echo. So I'm going to try again, perhaps tomorrow or Monday, but that blows and I'm sorry. I'm getting really good at it though, because I've been doing it for so long. Generally, I just kind of tried it a couple times and then record it, but... Yeah, well, it's an interesting experiment too. You don't. Obviously, you usually record in the shower. Yeah, yeah. So it's kind of fun to play with environmental acoustics. So do you think you could like try recording in there again, maybe with the door open or something? Yeah. I was thinking either that or sing into the shower from outside of the shower but the mic in the shower. Anyways, yeah. There's different things. I was like, "Hey, I'm drying." It's just... There's never time. It's like... Yeah. And if it doesn't work, then I'm done. Yeah, I hate only being able to get a couple of shots in a half an hour. And then I'm done. I'm just like on the floor. Yeah. Oddly, the sort of loops back to the discussion we were having earlier about semi-disposable or really cheaply made content, right? Like you're having to experiment with interesting environmental acoustics because you can't just digitally whip out auto-tune or whatever and master exactly what you knew. I don't need auto-tune. What are you saying? Well, no, not auto-tune. Yeah, correct yourself, sir. I'm sure there's some fancy production... Auto-tune yourself. Some fancy production which would give you the exact echo you're looking for. I don't know what that thing would be called. That's why I'm not the sound engineer on the show. Yes. And it's not a shower. Yeah. I recall hearing tales of jury rigging they had to do to get the Beatles albums done and even some of Elvis's early work. Yep. There's an echo I believe on, what was it, Houndog? One of his early pieces where they essentially had to move the recording into a hallway as I recall and they placed the mic at the very far end to capture a certain sound. We were watching a documentary that had, what's that guy's name, wasn't the edge and it wasn't Jack White. Jimmy Page? Yes. Jimmy Page. He was talking about having recorded in this one like hall and the drummer had accidentally gotten his drum set set up by one of the roadies in like the actual hallway. And so they were going to have to move it into the room where they were recording but the drummer sat down and fooled around on the drums and realized that because the winding staircase in the hallway, they just went up and up if you recorded in there, it just had an amazing sound. So they ended up having like cable stretched across the staircase going up to the, I think it was the third floor even and having mics hanging down from the ceiling. Alright, core. Mm hmm. And fun. That sounds like a lot of fun. Yeah. Mm hmm. When we're renting out like manorhouses and stuff to do our recording, what a rich, you can do stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. All over it. Yeah. You can record wherever you want. Sold. Hm. The art. Oh. Never raced out. So yeah, there has been no time to do anything and I'm a little bit behind on my skinner co, which I'm hoping to actually finish when we're done recording this. So. It's looking pretty sharp. It'll definitely be done for Monday's deadline. Oh yeah. It's kind of creepy though. Like it's not creepy, but it is. I love it. I think it's great. I know it is great. I think it's so cute. I just want to like. Speaking of advancement over time, I'm loving how your artwork's changing even just in these first four. Well again, you know, I'm experimenting with different, you know. Brushes and. Yeah. Different things. You know. Photoshop still. So. You know, up until now, I've just been drawing with a pencil on paper and scanning it. So. Yeah. It's looking great. Yeah. Well, I was a little worried about the deadline for this one because the other ones I've had, like the first one was drawn for a long time and it just needed to get in the second and the third kind of got done at the same time. So the third one was done like way in advance really. But this one's coming to the deadline. So I have to get my button here. I don't know how many times I've said in my art of narration bit that I have to get my button here. But I do. But seriously. Seriously. Seriously for reals. Button gear. We're addicted to energy drinks now. We don't need them. We just really turn around. We just like around. I can quit anytime. I just keep one in my purse and into my pillow. Minor extra large. Yes. Backroom plots. Kind of interesting. We returned to a, what I would kind of refer to as a classic black all tail this week. Just a one shot. Interesting sort of odd event story. You know what I really liked about it? It's funny because there was a part where there was like an explosion right with the dynamite. But at the same time it was like an explosion of black all. Bam. There he is. He's been like absent throughout most of the episode. All of a sudden bam, here comes black hole with the dynamite. The structure of this episode formed in my mind around two things which was the experiment we had just completed with food for thought which was sort of having one of coffins clients walk through the entire tail as opposed to actually having it be about coffin and money. And then the flip side of that was if you recall nuts what the day might give it escapes me just at the moment. A couple of fellows who have set up an illegal dam to do some mining. Oh yes yes yes. So I thought it would be kind of funny if one of black holes, odd sort of character traits was to have him suddenly appear with dynamite every now and then. Yeah. Very pulp classic. He always throws it just in front of himself and there's a big boom and then he says some kind of fancy word with jazz hands. Yeah. Have you actually ever seen the Chris drop character turn around explosion man? No. And it's a gag he does in his chainsaw suit comic where essentially the first two panels are very standard dialogue usually. And then in the last panel in the sort of classic Michael Bay style the character turns and puts on a pair of sunglasses and whatever happens to be in the background just explodes. No context, no nothing, just. Exactly so. Anyhow. So less. One man we could never turn away from took cost to explode would be Jim. We have to thank Jim for hosting it. Wiki.flifebulb.com.
