Kevin Shinick — the host and time-traveling detective of the Emmy-winning series Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?, Emmy-winning writer behind Robot Chicken, and celebrated author — is writing and starring in HOST MORTEM. Shinick is joined by artist Damien Torres (Marvel Crisis Protocol), colorist Pippa Bowland (Judge Dredd, Project Cryptid), and letterer Taylor Esposito (Red Hood and The Outlaws). The 180+ page graphic novel is coming soon to Kickstarter from Clover Press, the publisher behind countless acclaimed graphic novels, art books and novels including The Marvel Art Of line of books, Ricardo Delgado's Dracula, Spawn Till You Die: The Fin Art of Ray Troll, and Craig Yoe's Woman & Man+. HOST MORTEM follows TV hosts, Kevin Shinick (Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?) and Greg Lee (Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?) who are transported to the year 1947 by a time portal at comic con. They soon find themselves enmeshed in a murder mystery involving Humphrey Bogart's legendary noir film The Big Sleep. When one of the stars winds up dead, Kevin and Greg's knowledge of random trivia might be the key to solving this Hollywood caper. Shinick says, “Between the two of us, Greg and I have hosted a number of game shows. As a result, we have a lot of random trivia floating around in our heads and I always wished I could put that knowledge to better use other than just, “Hey, did you know the singular of spaghetti it spaghetto?” And since we both played fake detectives on Carmen Sandiego (me a time traveling detective and Greg a classic gumshoe detective) I got to wondering how we might fare with an actual murder? The ultimate question being, “Are hosts really smart? Or do they just have the answers?” Lee adds, “The premise of two fake detective game show hosts from the 1990's having to solve a series of real murders in the 1940's seemed like a novel idea so we thought we might be onto something. Now, thanks to Kevin's amazing talent writing comic books and our combined experience with game show shenanigans I get to star alongside my pal in Host Mortem! Which involves time travel, film noir, game show trivia and lots of comedy because, spoiler alert, we're not as good at solving murders as we think. Jace is joined by Kevin to talk about the project, his love of film noir and the impetus of the project with Greg Lee. Plus Kevin mentions coming up with the perfect title.

Raymond Chandler defined Los Angeles as a corrupt labyrinth of hidden truths that only an adventurous detective with noir eyes, a steel spine, and a witty disgust for sham and pettiness could uncover. In this Gain of Fiction/FAA crossover, Glen Rockney and I uncover the modern day relevance of Chandler's first and best novel The Big Sleep (1939), and the classic Howard Hawks 1946 movie adaptation starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and what they teach about being a man. We also mention the unclassic 1978 Michael Winner adaptation starring Robert Mitchum which Tarantino just ludicrously recommended.

With Halloween only 21 days away, folk horror blogger Rowan Lee joins us to discuss a pair of offbeat Brit horror movies with totally loaded casts. First, Peter Cushing discovers that the humanoid fossil he discovered in New Guinea transforms into the slimy embodiment of pure evil when you just add water in THE CREEPING FLESH (1973). In a film with f--d-up family dynamics, Cushing almost immediately injects cells from his creepy skeleton's newly formed flesh into his young daughter (Lorna Heilbron) in a hair-brained attempt to inoculate her against evil. Christopher Lee is Cushing's hyper-competitive half-brother who mismanages a mental hospital and decides that stealing the fossil during a rainstorm is a great idea. What could go wrong? Directed by Hammer veteran Freddie Francis (DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE), who went on to late-career success as the director of photography of three David Lynch movies (ELEPHANT MAN, DUNE, THE STRAIGHT STORY) and Scorsese's remake of CAPE FEAR. Next, Christopher Lee teams up with the great Boris Karloff and 60s scream queen Barbara Steele in THE CRIMSON CULT aka CURSE OF THE CRIMSON ALTAR (1968). This one starts off with a bang with psychedelic sex parties and pagan sacrifices, so as Greg suggests, get high quick because the movie soon gives way too much screen time to Mark Eden as a dense antiques dealer looking for his brother where everyone is losing their minds (and articles of clothing) over anniversary of the burning of the witch Lavinia (Steele). I mean, um, Christopher Lee is right there! Also starring Michael Gough who played Alfred in the Tim Burton BATMAN movies. Both of our films today are from Tigon British Film Releasing Productions, the studio that released two folk horror classics: THE WITCHFINDER GENERAL (1968) and THE BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW (1971) along with some sex comedies. We also discuss folk horror and the pandemic with Rowan Lee and Bob saw MEGALOPOLIS!

An L.A. private eye investigating the murder of a local businessman uncovers a corrupt world of sex, money, and violence. Also, every major American cartoon character from the 20th century shows up at some point. Heavily influenced by films like Chinatown and The Big Sleep and featuring special effects that fully realize the potential of earlier films like Anchors Away and Mary Poppins that mix live acting and animation, this might be the greatest film of the 1980s. (This episode is a little bit of a cheat--we've both seen this film many, many times, but we needed a fill-in episode, and as this was playing in a theater near us this summer, we jumped at the chance to cover it.) Starring Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloydd, Charles Fleischer, Kathleen Turner, Joanna Cassidy, and Stubby Kaye. Directed by Robet Zemeckis. Written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman.

Rerun: Howard Hawks' film noir ‘The Big Sleep' finally hit cinemas on 23rd August, 1946, after extra crowd-pleasing repartee had been inserted, featuring real life couple Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. But more flirtation meant less exposition - making the plot of the detective story notoriously difficult to follow, even to the extent that the filmmakers had to call author Raymond Chandler to ask him who had killed one of the characters.
