TROUBLEMAKER TRAILER

We've had some adventures.

I am so proud of my friend, Dave West, the Phantom Troublemaker, who finds himself the subject of a pretty cool looking documentary on his life. Check out the "Troublemaker" trailer at https://youtu.be/JD8bLMxX4WA

"Troublemaker" is the story of Atlanta-based pop culture personality, Phantom Troublemaker. A year was spent following this podcast host, DragonCon panel moderator, toy expert, movie fan, writer, wrestling announcer, family man, and all around good guy on his adventures of dorkery. This documentary is director Jason C. Wilson's follow-up to "Stopper: The Rise and Fall of the Bastard Squad".

Way to go, Dave!

THE JOY OF JOE NABS 5 STARS!

We Love Reader Reviews! A big THANK YOU to erick gee for his 5 STAR Amazon review of The Joy of Joe: Memories of America's Movable Fighting Man from Today's Grown-Up Kids.

"A fun collection of G.I.Joe nostalgia! As a G.I.Joe fan for the last 36 years, when I first learned of "The Joy of Joe", I knew it was a book that I definitely needed for my collection. What I didn't know was that the book would actually bring a tear to my eye (but for masculinity's sake, we'll just say someone was cutting onions nearby). The Joy of Joe is a collection of stories from G.I.Joe fans and in today's day where everything appears so negative, it's great to be able to pick up a book that immediately reintroduces you to your imagination and reminds you of a simpler time. I highly recommend this title not only to G.I.Joe fans, but for anyone looking for a fun trip down memory lane."

Thanks again, Erick.

these guys as part of my essay.

PURE JOY FOR A TOY For well over fifty years the joy that kids feel for G.I. Joe, Hasbro’s toy phenomenon, stands as nothing short of amazing. Few other creations can boast of such an enduring love from fans of all ages across the globe. Fall in with thirty such fans as they tell tales of childhoods marching alongside Joe through action and adventure, creating memories that have lasted lifetimes. THE JOY OF JOE will amuse you and touch your heart!

Now you know.

And knowing is half the battle.

Earth Station Who Episode 6: Planet of the Spiders

I sat in with my Earth Station One cohorts on our sister show, Earth Station Who this week. Give it a listen.

Bobby

The final arc of The Third Doctor is bittersweet as we say “Goodbye” to Jon Pertwee, witness performances from gone-too-soon Nicolas Courtney and Elisabeth Sladen, and control our arachnophobia as we encounter the sisters of Metebelis Three. But all is made right by one of the best multi-vehicle chase scenes ever filmed! Mike, Mike, and Dave are once again joined by ESO co-host Bobby Nash to review Planet of the Spiders.
