We take a look at a fascinating slice of paranormal history in the form of a 1975 BBC documentary The Ghost Hunters. How much has changed in paranormal research since 1975?

In this episode, Paul and I did a fantasy draft on our favourite movie vilains of all time. So it's ten picks each, no overlap allowed, beyond that it's anything goes.

Some of the best science fiction of the 1970s never even made it onto an awards ballot. No Hugos. No Nebulas. No Locus trophies, Clarke medals, or BSFA plaques. But these are books that sold strongly, earned lasting fan love, and still hold up with terrific ratings and critical praise.In this episode, Jim digs into the hidden gems of each year in the decade—from 1970 through 1979—spotlighting two novels per year that got completely overlooked by the awards establishment. These are the award-snubbed classics you may never have read, but should definitely consider adding to your list.We'll share why each title matters, what makes it unique, and why it stood out in its year despite never receiving the genre's biggest honors. If you're looking for fresh sci-fi reads that history unfairly ignored, this is your guide.
Oh no, your plans for a remote beach resort have been derailed by a microbiotic space alien that possesses people and makes sea creatures grow real big! Chris Cummins (Archie Comics, Sci-Fi Explosion) joins us for no one's favorite kaiju film -- but a fun one with loveable cuttlefish, crab, and turtle kaiju nevertheless, and a very important one to the history of Godzilla. We talk about the fraught production plagued by Eiji Tsubaraya's death, Ishiro Honda's disillusionment, and Toho being an evil corporation.

September 19 is National POW/MIA Recognition Day in the United States. In this two-part series, we'll explore what it means to be part of that ongoing story — the families who wait, the system created to find answers, and the private researchers who work to complement the government's efforts.
In the Medicare Advantage Minute we learn a little something about the nation's largest provider of drugs to long term care facilities: CVS Omnicare. They seem to have defrauded themselves right into a $1 billion federal fine. A very short "Your Medicare Benefits 2025" tells us how Medicare might handle charges for patient lifts. As of this recording something around 20 states offer some sort of relief from Medicare supplement medical underwriting regulations. Of those, roughly 14 or 15 currently have "Birthday Rules". Finally, American hospitals are grappling with a new problem: imposter nurses!

Send us a text In this episode, we check into Morrison Hotel, the 1970 album that marked The Doors' powerful return to their blues and rock roots. After the turbulence of The Soft Parade and Jim Morrison's mounting personal struggles, the band stripped back the excess and rediscovered the raw energy that first defined them. We'll explore the making of the album, from the iconic imagery of the cover to the unforgettable tracks like “Roadhouse Blues,” “Peace Frog,” and “Waiting for the Sun.” Along the way, we'll discuss how Morrison Hotel repositioned The Doors as a force in rock music, setting the stage for their final creative years.

David Kruk – 1970 Super Bee. With the Holley MoParty kicking off in Bowling Green, Kentucky, we're spotlighting longtime attendee David Kruk and his 1970 Dodge Super Bee. David and his wife Lizzie have become familiar faces at the event, showing off a car that's logged over 80,000 miles and countless upgrades. What started as a $400 parts-car rescue has turned into a full-blown autocross machine. The Super Bee has evolved from a tired 440 big block into a third-gen Hemi–powered, QA1-equipped racer that can hold its own against lighter cars on the track. From the Columbus Goodguys to the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge, David has proven that a big yellow B-body can fly. Catch him this weekend at MoParty — whether it's on the autocross course, drag strip, or just swapping stories with fellow Mopar fans. Follow his adventures on Facebook.com/david.kruk.1, TikTok.com/@70beeracing, and YouTube.com/@david.ksuperbee. And if you'd like to park a mini version of his Super Bee on your shelf, Johnny Lightning now offers a scale replica of his car. The post TMCP #620: David Kruk And His 1970 Super Bee “Speedtech Equipped” AutoCross Monster! first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.

We're back! After a missed week—thanks to Gibbs and his ever-growing list of “totally legitimate” excuses—the NAFC crew returns to talk movies, games, and apocalyptic AI. Mox is fired up over the looming release of Silksong, the most anticipated game of the decade that may or may not actually exist. Gibbs, meanwhile, went down a grim rabbit hole with Bone Tomahawk and lived to tell the tale. The crew also checks in on the current state of the NAFC Fantasy Movie League and tries to figure out who's in the lead and who's just coasting on box office luck. Then it's time to dive into the main event: Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970). An AI gets turned on, takes control of the world, and—for some reason—everyone just… lets it happen? 70s tech paranoia in full force. Support us on Patreon!
On this episode of Filmmaker Mixer, we sit down with acclaimed production designer Toni Barton, whose latest project, Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, reimagines the gritty glamour of 1970s Atlanta. Barton walks us through the process of recreating a city that still lives in the memory of many locals—working against time, budget, and historical accuracy to bring over 30 sets to life across four soundstages and multiple real-world locations.We dive into how Barton used color storytelling to mirror character arcs, the architectural magic behind the Hyatt Regency's iconic penthouse suite, and the haunting authenticity of the Dolphin Club. From civil rights-era echoes to design under pressure, this is a masterclass in immersive world-building.

Hello Friends! After many months of hoping to cover the DC5 on the main show, this has finally been realised thanks to the 1970 compilation, The Best of The Dave Clark Five. Issued on the Starline label in the UK, this was the first stereo Dave Clark Five material in the UK, and as such saw first time stereo mixes for the vast majority of its 14 tracks, and the other handful had only otherwise been issued in the USA on the 3 1967 LPs issued there. As such, this felt like a perfect contender for the show, but as I dug into these stereo mixes and the currently issued mono mixes, it came to my attention that many of these mono mixes are either alternates or edited versions of the correct mono mix, and in one case we even has multiple mono mixes issued in the 60s. We even had 2 stereo mixes for one track, to my surprise! Along with a few other fade oddities, and some fascinatingly different mixes, we have an episode chock full of goodies today that you do not want to miss! Happy Listening, Frederick Patreon Email Instagram - @hypnoticfred

The game of basketball is perceived by most today as an “urban” game with a locale such as Rucker Park in Harlem as the game's epicenter (as well as a pipeline to the NBA). While that is certainly a true statement, basketball is not limited to places such as New York City. In recent years scholars have written about the meaning of the game (and triumphs on the hardwood) to other groups, such as Asian Americans (Kathleen Yep and Joel Franks) and Mexican Americans (Ignacio Garcia). To this important literature one can now add an examination of the sport in the lives of Native Americans, through Wade Davies' Native Hoops: The Rise of American Indian Basketball, 1895-1970 (University Press of Kansas, 2020). The game, as Davies notes, was not just something imposed upon Natives in locales such as the Indian Industrial Training School in Kansas (and elsewhere). The game provided linkages to the Native past, and was embraced as a way to “prove their worth” within a hostile environment designed to strip students of all vestiges of their cultural inheritance. The sport provided both young men and women with an opportunity to compete against members of other institutions (both Native and white) and to challenge notions of inferiority and inherent weaknesses. Davies' work does an excellent job of detailing the role of the sport in the lives of individuals, schools, and eventually, Native communities. Additionally, it examines how these players competed against sometimes seven opponents (the five players on the court and the two officials) to claim their rightful place on the court. They also often had to deal with the taunts and racism of crowds at opposing gyms. Still, most of these schools managed to field competitive teams that created their own “Indian” style of basketball that proved quite difficult to defeat.

The game provided linkages to the Native past, and was embraced as a way to “prove their worth” within a hostile environment designed to strip students of all vestiges of their cultural inheritance. The sport provided both young men and women with an opportunity to compete against members of other institutions (both Native and white) and to challenge notions of inferiority and inherent weaknesses. Davies' work does an excellent job of detailing the role of the sport in the lives of individuals, schools, and eventually, Native communities. Additionally, it examines how these players competed against sometimes seven opponents (the five players on the court and the two officials) to claim their rightful place on the court. They also often had to deal with the taunts and racism of crowds at opposing gyms. Still, most of these schools managed to field competitive teams that created their own “Indian” style of basketball that proved quite difficult to defeat.

In this episode of Fingal's Cave, host Ian Priston talks with Steve Anderson - creator of the iconic Floydboots website, visited over a million times by collectors, and author of the 2024 book Wizardo: Stories of a Bootlegger.Steve reflects on five decades of Pink Floyd: from being a 12-year-old at Wembley Empire Pool in November 1974 and the heartbreak of his prized Stoke bootleg being broken - to the challenge of hunting down and thrill of listening to rare titles. He recalls leaving home at 3am from Knebworth 1975, the ferocity and spectacle of the Animals tour, the monumental experience of The Wall shows, and meeting the band at the premiere of The Wall film.Steve also shares two extraordinary encounters with Syd Barrett in the 1990s - fleeting but unforgettable glimpses of the band's elusive founding genius. Along the way, he discusses Barrett superfan the late Bernard White, the legacy of John Wizardo, his adventures as a record dealer, and the time he was offered Roger Waters' Live at Pompeii bass. It is a fascinating story of how a lifetime can be shaped by music, soundtracked by Pink Floyd. This episode is in stereo - because, well, it just had to be. And if you think you hear a fly buzzing, dogs wanting attention, or even church bells chiming in the distance… you are not imagining things. Consider them accidental Pink Floyd–style sound effects.Subscribe to Fingal's Cave for more journeys to the edges of Pink Floyd music history.

This week Eden and Peter dive into William Friedkin's gritty 1977 thriller Sorcerer, a tense and sweat-soaked remake of The Wages of Fear. They talk through the film's nihilistic worldview, Friedkin's unrelenting direction, and Tangerine Dream's eerie score that pushes the movie into fever-dream territory. Along the way, they share personal stories of how the film lingered in memory for decades, debate whether Sorcerer deserved its original flop status, and marvel at the sheer intensity of the bridge sequence. They also connect the film to broader cultural legacies—from the shadow of Star Wars to the way cult classics find redemption years later.Show NotesOpening catch-upSummer weather updates and life events.Peter finishes Donkey Kong Bonanza and shares thoughts on Taskmaster series 7 vs 8.Music chat: new Deftones (Private Music), Testament's upcoming Parabellum, and the death of Mastodon's Brett Hinds.Work & reading tangents Eden's deep dive into accessibility struggles with LaTeX, Pandoc, and PDFs (“the world's worst file format”).Reading The Apothecary Diaries and Azumanga Daioh; comparisons with Nichijo and City.Listening to Tangerine Dream's catalog and soundtrack prep for the film.Imperfect Practice launch Peter introduces his new blog and YouTube channel, “Imperfect Practice,” focused on experiments with productivity, journaling, and workflows.Main Event: SorcererEden's blind pick, Peter's buried childhood memory of the Tangerine Dream LP, and initial impressions.Full plot breakdown with detailed discussion of:The four opening vignettes.Building the trucks and loading unstable dynamite.The infamous 12-minute bridge sequence.The brutal downer ending and themes of fate and nihilism.Discussion of the title Sorcerer (why it's terrible, Friedkin's explanation).Behind-the-scenes misery, budget overruns, and authenticity (actors did most of their own stunts).The soundtrack's role in creating alienation and tension.Release woes: arriving weeks after Star Wars and being critically panned before decades-later reevaluation into cult-classic canon.Wrap-up Reflections on its heavy but unforgettable impact.LinksImperfect PracticeImperfect Practice on YouTube

It took us almost a year, but we finally brought Sylvia on as a guest after her extraordinarily generous contribution to the GoFundMe of our much loved and much missed friend, Jennifer Lumbley. We are so grateful for the relief that Sylvia's gift brought Jennifer during a time when it mattered most.
Today I'm joined by singer-songwriter Ryan Davis to talk about an album that defines the phrase cult classic - Red Krayola frontman Mayo Thompson's only solo album 'Corky's Debt To His Father'. We talk about how the album came and went on release, only to be rediscovered by later generations following reissues in the 90s and 00s, the combination of Thompson's idiosyncratic vocals and lyrics with the slick session backing band, the influence on Ryan's own lyrics and music and how Ryan managed to get Mayo Thompson to perform the album in full for the first time ever at his 'Cropped Out' music festival.
