This month our guest is writer, publisher, and man of many hats, Dr. Arnold T. Blumberg! Arnold joins us to discuss the birth of his Doctor Who fandom, many different aspects of literary fandom, and exactly where the ideas originate for most of the books published through ATB Publishing. Then Arnold takes us into strange new worlds as he brings his Pick of the Month, the Paramount Plus blockbuster hit series, Star Trek: Picard! We discuss why we all think Season 3 is some of the greatest Star Trek ever written, our shared love of Patrick Stewart, and why Terry Matalas is the current saviour of the known universe. And be warned! There are MASSIVE spoilers for Picard (Season 3 in particular), so go watch those 10 episodes first! That's right, burn up that 7 day trial that you've been waiting to use and binge it. It's totally worth it! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/doctorwhoandcompany/support

While Doctor Who fans flock to Los Angeles for the Gallifrey One convention, ATB Publishing founder Arnold T Blumberg joins me to chat about Doctor Who, conventions, comics and more! We also check out Empire of the Wolf #4 and cover the new Kickstarter from Cutaway Comics and more.
Cinema Junkie has been on a quarantine break but I decided that July, the month of Comic-Con, would be a great time to make a comeback. My first guest is someone who not only fits the spirit of Comic-Con, but also is a longtime friend and frequent Cinema Junkie guest and that is Dr. Arnold T. Blumberg, a.k.a. Doctor of the Dead. We've bonded over zombies in the past and now I want to tap into a different side of his expertise to talk about comic book movies. Blumberg has the distinction of teaching the first of its kind course on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Back in 2015 at the University of Baltimore. The class was called Media Genres, Media Marvels. "There's something to be said for the fact that the Marvel cinematic universe that they started building was just so incredibly successful and cohesive and fascinating," Blumberg said. These film can also be great tools to teach students about critical thinking and media literacy.

As if the zombies knew a real pandemic was heading our way, there was a surge of undead films in 2019 with more than a dozen infecting cinemas. So as we deal with a real pandemic Cinema Junkie gets its annual check up with the Doctor of the Dead, Arnold T. Blumberg, whose diagnosis is that COVID is ruining the fun of the zombie apocalypse by giving us something far scarier in the willful ignorance of humans facing the coronavirus in the real world. So to celebrate the 200th episode of the podcast we discuss zombies in the time of coronavirus, and what we might learn from them. Blumberg has written books on zombies, film, and pop culture, and teaches courses using zombies as well as superheroes.
Man, Star Trek: Picard just nailed it in Episode 7, “Nepenthe,” the episode that reunites Jean-Luc with Riker and Troi. We discuss that, and then Hugh actor Jonathan Del Arco uses the Sikarian spatial trajector to visit TR3 for a chat about his beloved character! Featuring special guest host Dr. Arnold T. Blumberg.
To kick off season 3 we are joined by zombie expert Dr Arnold T. Blumberg to chat zombies and their value as a pedagogical tool. We discuss Arnold's book, JOURNEY OF THE LIVING DEAD: A Tribute to Fifty Years of Flesh Eaters, as well as the value of media literacy in education and culture. You can find Arnold on Twitter.

As this episode drops it's the 50th anniversary of one of the most influential and important horror films of all time, director George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. The creepy classic not only led the late Mr. Romero to sequelize himself over the next several decades with Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and more, but everything from The Walking Dead to Shaun of the Dead to 28 Days Later owes some piece of its success to what Romero and writer John Russo managed to pull off with no budget, no stars, no extended locations, and no color. Here to help me mark five decades of this seminal experience is Dr. Arnold T. Blumberg, author of the new book JOURNEY OF THE LIVING DEAD: A Tribute to Fifty Years of Flesh Eaters. Listen in as we delve into the original film, its sequels, and everything else that came in its wake!
