The Losers are back in The Stacks for another round for recommendations, digressions, and musings about the joys of the written word. Randall, Ashley, Sammie, and Julia begin by gabbing about some of May's new horror and genre releases and riffing on the latest news from the literary world, including Michael B. Jordan scooping up the rights to some BookTok favorites. Then we share our own recommendations, which span fiction and non, horror and sci-fi, and releases new and old. Two are about video games and one inspired 1987's Angel Heart. Pretty rad. Check out an abbreviated list of our recs below. Books: Dead Silence by S.A.

March is Women's History Month, dedicated to the study, observance, and celebration of the vital role of women in history. Today Michelle & Jacob discuss some histories and biographies that will help you dig in deep to the topic.

First thing's first, we're talking to recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and bassist/writer Kathy Valentine of the Go-Go's! You might not know that The Go-Go's were the first female band to play all their own instruments and write their own songs to have an album go to number 1 on the Billboard Charts! Well, now you know! Their recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame win got us thinking about our own firsts, as cringe-worthy as many of them are. Discover our first pets (hint: very low on the food chain), first albums (our hearts will go on), first jobs (dear god) and first kisses (GROSS)! Seriously, why do dudes under 30 always smell like Funyuns? Plus, Danielle reveals her freaky pirate obsession, Hayley uncovers the nasty truth behind Burger King's so-called "flame broiled" lies, and we go deep into the zen of deer/squirrel spotting! PLUS, our dedicated mixologist Shane Bagnall mixes us not one but TWO drinks! (He had to do one with alcohol and one without, as today's guest is a sober rocker). Like we've said before, Shane is not a half asser. He is a WHOLE asser. And that's not all folks...there's way more weirdness to come! Now is the time for you to kick back, relax and allow us to be the FIRST podcast to introduce you to the concept of "soul cankles." Ugh...Sorry about that. Cool stuff mentioned in this episode: Kathy Valentine's memoir, "All I Ever Wanted: A Rock and Roll Memoir" www.amazon.com/All-Ever-Wanted-R…1638427733&sr=1-1 The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick - www.indiebound.org/book/9781335937803 Author Mallory O'Meara - www.malloryomeara.com/ Her talk at The Kansas City Public Library www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_RIHSXgS8w Her podcast, Reading Glasses - maximumfun.org/podcasts/reading-glasses/ Her new book is Girly Drinks: A World History of Women and Alcohol - www.indiebound.org/book/9781335282408 (you don't have to mention or link all of that if it's too much) You'll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey Crazy Stories about Racism - by Amber Ruffin and Lacey Lamar - www.indiebound.org/book/9781538719367 Amber Ruffin is the host of The Amber Ruffin Show on Peacock - www.peacocktv.com/stream-tv/the-amber-ruffin-show www.youtube.com/channel/UCxej9nPf6TqFyfsiez1_P3w Amber is also a writer and cast member on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers. Lacey Lamar is Amber's big sister and works in the healthcare and human service field. Josephine Baker - entertainer, spy, and civil rights activist - there are many adult biographies on her but I love and recommend this bio for all ages: Josephine: The Dazzling Life of Josephine Baker by Patricia Hruby Powell, illustrated by Christian Robinson www.indiebound.org/book/9781452103143 Field Roast Hazelnut & Cranberry Plant-Based Roast fieldroast.com/product/hazelnut-…-roast-en-croute/ I had the Sage & Garlic Plant-Based Celebration Roast for our Family Fridays-Giving and it was also excellent (nothing tops the Hazelnut & Cranberry though, ha) fieldroast.com/product/sage-garlic-roast/ Elvira's Memoir, Yours Cruelly: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark www.amazon.com/Yours-Cruelly-Elv…ess/dp/0306874350 Face it: A Memoir by Debbie Harry www.amazon.com/Face-Debbie-Harry…15&s=books&sr=1-1

The Creature from the Black Lagoon was always my favorite classic monster movie growing up. The "creature" is certainly one of the most original and iconic monsters to ever grace the silver screen. But did you know that it was designed by a woman? Millicent Patrick was a makeup artist, animator, special effect designer, and an actress, but unfortunately her contributions to the horror film genre have largely been forgotten. My guest today is Mallory O'Meara and she has written the first biography of Millicent's life and career in Hollywood, The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Millicent Patrick. Mallory is an award-winning author, co-host of the literary podcast Reading Glasses, and she works in the horror movie industry as a screenwriter and producer. Today, Mallory and I discuss Millicent's unique childhood, how she entered Hollywood, and how the film industry failed to recognize her achievements. If you've never experienced this classic film or want to revisit it, you can rent or buy The Creature from the Black Lagoon from Amazon Prime Video.

Our guest this week, Kara Evans, is a transplant to Louisville by way of New Jersey and Atlanta and was looking for a fun way to meet new people. She is a healthcare consultant specializing in technology but her hobbies have always included reading and movies. So she decided to create a book and movie club called Books Going to the Big Screen which can be found on the platform Meetup.com, a site with a plethora of different kinds of groups you can join in any geographical area. Kara tells us the benefits and the frustrations of having Hollywood pick the book selections, why she needs crazy good research skills to keep up with the ongoing movie schedule, how their discussions in this club feel completely different than a regular bookclub when you are comparing and contrasting two different mediums, and how reading has always been her escape. Books Mentioned in this Episode: I'm Down by Mishna Wolff Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs: Big Questions from Tiny Mortals About Death by Caitlin Doughty The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore The Good Liar by Nicholas Searle Motherless Brooklyn by Jonathan Lethem I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt The Lady From the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick by Mallory O'Meara You can find us on FB, instagram (@perksofbeingabookloverpod) and on our blog site at www.perksofbeingabooklover.com Perks airs on Forward Radio 106.5 FM and forwardradio.org every Wednesday at 6 pm, Thursdays at 6 am and 12 pm.

Rounding out the interviews that Eric and I did at the Chattanooga Film Festival is our interview with Mallory O'Meara, author of The Lady From the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick. And just like our interviews with Brian Salisbury (of Junkfood Cinema) and Rebekah McKendry, Rob Galluzzo, and Elric Kane (of Shock Waves), talking with Mallory was one of the things that we were most excited about for CFF 2019 (and all of which were part of the teaser announcement before any of the films were even announced)!! Anyone who has ever met me and talked about movies with me for more than about five minutes knows that The Creature from the Black Lagoon is one of my favorite movies and probably my favorite Universal Monster (I mean, all of the monsters are pretty great...but there is something just so unique about the creature). And if you've listened to any of our pre-coverage episodes leading up to CFF 2019, you know that both Eric and I absolutely LOVED Mallory's book!! So, it was an incredible honor to be able to talk horror, the creature, Milicent, and social justice with Mallory O'Meara!! If you haven't yet, I strongly recommend picking up a copy of The Lady from the Black Lagoon - or, support your local library and check out a copy (if they don't have it, request that they get it!)! Eric and I loved the book and we can't wait to see what else Mallory has in store for the future!! If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check back soon for more cinematic discussions on The Gargyle Podcast as we continue our coverage of the 2019 Chattanooga Film Festival!! Upcoming episodes will include reviews of all of the movies that played at CFF that we were able to see (and potentially another interview or two with special CFF guests - though, not actually recorded during CFF).

Join us as she uncovers the mystery of the only woman in history to create one of Universal’s classic monsters! Swim thru the twists and turns that take us to the Disney vaults, the far off reaches of outer space and even Hearst Castle!

Milicent Patrick should be a recognizable name and a role model for several generations of young girls with filmmaking dreams. As the only woman ever to design a classic movie monster, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and one of the first female animators at Disney, she blazed a trail that up-and-comers should have been able to follow. But instead, her story was lost. She was denied credit for her work. And for over sixty years, her legacy was buried. When author Mallory O’Meara first watched The Creature from the Black Lagoon as a teen, her monster-loving heart fell hard. As she began to investigate the film, she made a game- changing discovery: the identity of the Creature’s creator. Milicent instantly became her idol and Mallory needed to find out more about this visionary. But her inquiries were frustratingly inconclusive. Why, Mallory wondered, isn’t Milicent Patrick celebrated for her transcendent achievements? How is it that women especially are in the dark about her significance? What happened to her? And why has she been erased so completely from cinema history? Eventually the writer and filmmaker realized that if she wanted answers to these questions, then she needed to unearth them herself. A standout debut that doubles as a call to action, THE LADY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick chronicles Mallory’s journey to find the enigmatic Milicent Patrick and her own, similar trials in the male-centric world of film and horror. Extensively researched and vividly rendered, this true-life detective story uncovers a fascinating woman blessed with talent, looks, charisma and resilience whose pursuit of an unconventional path yielded movie magic. Piecing together the evidence, Mallory tracks Milicent from her early years spent on the periphery of Hearst Castle and her training at a prestigious art institute to her flourishing career, which was snuffed out by a jealous male colleague at Universal Studios, and her reinvention in the wake of that devastating blow. Along the way, Mallory explores Milicent’s thorny family dynamics, examines her personal and professional relationships, traces her artistic evolution, delves into the gender bias she contended with on the job and so much more. A strikingly original blend of history, biography, and memoir, THE LADY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON unfolds an eye-opening read from a unique perspective. Reporting from the inside, Mallory gets candid about her experiences in Hollywood, which illustrate the importance of Milicent Patrick as a pioneer and the resounding impact of her work to this day, including how her creations have inspired countless films and spinoffs, most notably The Shape of Water, Guillermo del Toro’s 2017 triumph. At once a passion project and an incisive take on movie industry sexism then and now, THE LADY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON offers an essential appreciation of an influential innovator as it foregrounds a behind-the-scenes cinematic culture that would seem all too familiar to Milicent Patrick. Mallory O’Meara is an author, screenwriter and genre film producer. Every week, she co-hosts the literary podcast Reading Glasses. Whether it's for the screen or the page, Mallory seeks creative projects imbued with the weird; horror and monsters are her passion. She lives in Los Angeles with her partner and their collection of books and cats. THE LADY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON is her first book.

As the Chattanooga Film Festival draws ever nearer, Eric and I continue on with our pre-coverage of this year's CFF by recounting previous years of CFF. On tonight's episode, we discuss films from the 2017 Chattanooga Film Festival. As I mentioned on the previous episode, the Chattanooga Film Festival is so much more than just the movies...it is a cinematic experience and an opportunity to talk with other people who love cinema just as much as you do (including many of the people involved in making the films screened at CFF)...but, obviously the movies are a pretty major part. And while I wish that each episode leading up to CFF could be a deep-dive into every single movie screened each year, that just isn't possible. So, instead, each week we will be focusing on a few movies that really highlight the Chattanooga Film Festival experience from each of the previous years that I have attended (this will be the fourth year that I have attended CFF and the first year that Eric has attended) as a way to give Eric (and our listeners) a glimpse of what CFF is like. The criteria for the movies picked from each year are: 1) they are movies that I saw during the film festival that year, 2) they are movies that are available online (Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.), 3) they are movies that represented the experience of the film fest, rather than just being a good movie (there are some movies that are great movies, but you could get roughly the same experience seeing them in any movie theater...and there are other movies that might not necessarily be as "good," but it will be an experience that you are not likely to have outside of a film festival). With those criteria in mind, the films from 2017 that are covered in tonight's episode are: Dave Made A Maze, Feeding Time, Sequence Break, The Dragon Lives Again and The Zodiac Killer(both presented by the American Genre Film Archive), David Lynch: The Art Life, Dayveon, and The Devil's Candy, along with some brief highlights about The Monster Squad and The Void. We end the episode talking about The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick - by Mallory O'Meara. The Chattanooga Film Festival will be screening The Creature from the Black Lagoon, pairing it with a talk by Mallory O'Meara. So, in preparation, Eric and I have both been reading her book (and we both very highly recommend it!) For tickets or more information (including complete lists of films screened each year) go to chattfilmfest.org - and be sure to follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and/or Twitter to stay up to date on announcements for CFF 2019. And be sure to come back soon for more cinematic discussions on The Gargyle Podcast!! Up next will be a break from our CFF coverage as we interview Bill Fulkerson and Kyle Kuchta on their documentary, Survival of the Film Freaks (which won a Gargyle Award during our Knoxville Horror Film Fest coverage for "movie that I am most excited to share with someone else"). After that, we will return to our CFF pre-coverage by discussing some of the films from CFF 2018. gargylereviews.wixsite.com/thegargyle music from besound.com

This episode we have an amazing guest re-joining us, the fantastic Shaun from Comics2Movies and XCT. So you know straight up it is going to be a great show! Also the DJ is on fire this week and makes us laugh till we cry. We begin with a look at an upcoming book release that is the biography of Milicent Patrick, the lady who designed the creature from the Black Lagoon. She has an amazing story that is sure to inspire many of us. It also looks at the harassment she faced and the ongoing issues in Hollywood today. Also discussed is the reaction of various law enforcement agencies in response to undesirable behaviours such as cyber-bullying. The topic is the 40th anniversary of Mad Max! That’s right the original movie that created a legend is 40 years old. There was a party in Victoria to celebrate with fans even coming from America. Of course this means we have to discuss the amazing films in the Mad Max franchise (even the recent Fury Road – which is suggested is not Mad Max, but you decide and let us know). Also this is when the DJ makes us laugh till we cry, listen out for it, believe me, it is amazingly funny. Next up is the Professor with some information about the PS5 and VR. Things are getting better with improved technology on the VR/AR front with arcades opening up around the place, but what is happening in the home? We then have the regular shoutouts, birthdays, and remembrances. Concluding with a chat about what Shaun is up to in terms of new projects to look forward to, so if you are planning on going to any of the comic conventions you will have to stop by and say G’Day, and check out what he has on offer. Particularly with his new graphic novels, so go along and check out his website and be amazed by the wondrous collection of artwork in the various comic books and graphic novels available for purchase alongside the extensive offering of various memorabilia there. So grab yourself a cup of tea and strap in for our latest instalment of Nerds Amalgamated.EPISODE NOTES:The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick- https://www.publishersweekly.com/9781335937803- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34993030-the-lady-from-the-black-lagoon- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1335937803/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=bustle-13212013-20&linkId=4eb67e222b74ad35b9b57f4e9dda23c0&language=en_USMad Max turns 40- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-02-03/mad-max-40th-anniversary/10775336- https://www.thecourier.com.au/story/5450660/mad-max-anniversary-event-ditches-clunes-location/PS5 VR/AR - https://gamingbolt.com/sony-knows-vr-ar-is-the-future-ps5-will-support-it-says-devGames Currently playingBuck, Professor & DJ – Apex Legends - https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legendsShaun – Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Jedi_Knight:_Jedi_AcademyOther topics DiscussedMillicent Patrick’s biography- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milicent_PatrickBlack Fury aka Miss Fury character bio- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Fury_(comics)- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-02-05/miss-fury-the-most-famous-superhero-youve-never-heard-of/10777988Cyberbullying in American and Australia- America - https://edition.cnn.com/2018/01/23/us/florida-cyberstalking-charges-girl-suicide/index.html- Australia - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-10/dolly-everett-nt-suicide-cyber-bullying-campaign-launched/9317056MAD MAX Fan Magazine – Silver City on Kickstarter- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/467328161/mad-max-fan-magazine-silver-cityMad Max Franchise- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Max_(franchise)George Miller wants to make more Mad Max movies- http://collider.com/george-miller-new-mad-max-movies/Amount of dialogue in Mad Max Fury Road- https://www.reddit.com/r/MadMax/comments/4eveny/full_dialogue_for_fury_road/Quentin Tarantino praises Mad Max Fury Road- https://www.indiewire.com/2015/12/quentin-tarantino-says-mad-max-fury-road-was-the-best-movie-he-saw-in-2015-95821/Playstation 5 will be backwards compatible- https://gamerant.com/ps5-backward-compatible/Playstation Eyetoy- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EyeToyWonder Boy (video game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Boy_(video_game)Ghouls and Ghosts (video game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghouls_%27n_GhostsHungry Hungry Hippos the movie poster- http://i.imgur.com/dU5gS.jpgFortnite & PubG are banned in China- https://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/650828/fortnite-pubg-could-banned-china/Kate Miller-Hidke (Australian singer-songwriter and actress)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Miller-HeidkeShoutouts24 Feb 2019 - Congrats to all the Oscars 2019 winners- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/91st_Academy_Awards- https://cometoverhollywood.com/2016/02/05/hollywood-capers-stolen-academy-awards/26 Feb 1935 - RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) first demonstrated by Robert Watson-Watt - https://www.wired.com/2008/02/dayintech-0226/29 Feb 1504 - Crafty Columbus plays a Leap Year Trick, many people born on February 29th curse their luck, but it can also bring luck and benefits as explorer Christopher Columbus demonstrated over 400 years ago. - https://www.onthisday.com/articles/crafty-columbus-plays-a-leap-year-trickRememberances21 Feb 2019 – Stanley Donen, American film director and choreographer whose most celebrated works are On the Town (1949) and Singin' in the Rain (1952), both of which starred Gene Kelly who co-directed.
