TVC 695.1: Ed welcomes Academy Award-nominated director and animator Bill Kroyer (FernGully: The Last Rainforest, Tron, Technological Threat). The title of Bill's memoir, Mr. In-Between: My Life in the Middle of the Animation Revolution, is a play on words: He began his career in animation drawing something known as “in-betweens,” while the story arc of his career in animation happens to coincide with the many changes in the landscape of animation that have occurred over the past five decades. Mr. In-Between is available wherever books are sold through CRC Press. Topics this segment why working in animation is a “God-like” profession; the generosity in spirit among animators in general; how a chance meeting with legendary Warner Bros. animator Chuck Jones in Chicago circa 1974 inspired Bill to try his luck in Hollywood; plus Bill's early experiences in television working with producer Glen Larson and Stephen J. Cannell.

TVC 670.1: Ed welcomes Nick Nugent, author of The Knight Rider Companion: Abridged Edition, everything you wanted to know about the classic TV series starring David Hasselhoff, Edward Mulhare, and the voice of William Daniels. Topics this segment include how series creator Glen Larson's original concept for Knight Rider was much different from what we eventually saw portrayed in the NBC series; why Knight Rider was essentially about a show about a character—a character that just happened to be a car; and why the original mythology of Knight Rider continues to resonate with millions of fans today.The Knight Rider Companion Abridged Edition is available from Black Pawn Pass and includes new and updated interviews with series creator Glen Larson, series stars David Hasselhoff, William Daniels, and Rebecca Holden, and many other key personnel; an updated Hall of Fame Autograph Guide, Vehicle States Guide, Knight Rider Fonts Guide, Knight Rider Logos Guide, Knight Equipment Guide, and a complete series episode guide; several pages of one-of-a-kind artwork created exclusively for the abridged edition.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Founding Member of The Four Preps, Bruce Belland About Harvey's guests: Today's guest, Bruce Belland, is a founding member of one of America's most popular and beloved vocal groups, commonly referred to as America's First Boy Band, The Four Preps.   As young teenage students at Hollywood High in 1954, our guest, along with singing partners Glen Larson, Ed Cobb and Marv Ingram, entered a high school talent show, and they kept on performing at high schools until that fateful day in 1956, when they were signed to a recording contract at Capitol Records, making them the youngest vocal group in history to ever sign with a major record label.   They recorded dozens of classic songs and produced 8 gold singles and 3 gold albums featuring their signature tunes, “Dreamy Eyes”, "26 Miles (Santa Catalina)," "Big Man," "Lazy Summer Night," “Down By the Station”, “More Money for You and Me”, and many more.   In 1957, Cashbox Magazine named The Four Preps the Most Promising Newcomer of the Year.  They made numerous appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, American Bandstand and many other TV variety shows, in addition to singing backup for Ricky Nelson for 4 years on “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet”.  And of course, they appeared with Sandra Dee in the 1959 movie, “Gidget”.  And they sang the theme song from the 1957 Clark Gable movie, “Band of Angels”.   The Four Preps headlined at nightclubs, concert halls and college campuses across the country, and toured with everyone from Tennessee Ernie Ford, George Burns and Carol Channing to Henry Mancini, Johnny Mathis, Buddy Rich and Glen Campbell.  They received an official commendation from the Air Force for their extraordinary contribution to National Guard Recruitment.  And in 2007, they were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.    And now, our guest has released a fascinating and highly entertaining memoir entitled, “Icons, Idols and Idiots of Hollywood:  My Adventures in America's First Boy Band.”   This delightful book details our guest's remarkable show business journey, full of great anecdotes, many colourful adventures, and poignant memories of pop culture history.  And let me tell you, the chapter about his hilarious experience filming a TV commercial with Annette Funicello at Disneyland is easily worth ten times the price of the book.    For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ To see more about Bruce Belland, go to:https://www.brucebelland.com/ https://the4preps.wixsite.com/thefourprepshttps://www.facebook.com/BruceBelland https://www.facebook.com/the4prepshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9J0TACPReX2IRCFPgDStZwhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/the-four-preps/19280148https://open.spotify.com/artist/5MsnoFODDc5nxWrjm99Zew https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=the+four+preps #BruceBelland   #TheFourPreps  #harveybrownstoneinterviews

Bruce Gerald Belland was born in Chicago, Illinois on October 22nd, 1936, the second son of Rev. Stanley G. Belland, a Fundamentalist minister and his wife Hertha, a Gospel radio singer. It was in 1954 that Bruce convinced Glen Larson, a friend since grammar school, to co-found a vocal group for that year's student talent show. Bruce, Glen and two pals from the school choir, stole the show with the Crew Cuts' “Sh-Boom.” Convinced they were on to something special, Bruce and Glen enlisted two classmates—Bruce's friend 6'4” bass and high school football star Ed Cobb, and high tenor and former boy soprano in the famed Mitchell Boys Choir, Marv Ingram—to permanently fill the other two slots. And THE FOUR PREPS were born. 

Bruce Belland's new book is called Icons, Idols and Idiots of Hollywood: My Adventures in America's First Boy Band and boy, did he have adventures! Bruce founded The Four Preps while still in Hollywood High School. They became Ricky Nelson's backup band, co-starred in Gidget and The Adventures of Ozzy & Harriet and went on to score massive hits with 26 Miles Across The Sea, Big Man, and Down By The Station. In his book and on this episode, Bruce's storytelling is engaging and enlightening. He shares teen idol road stories, his Disneyland dream date with Annette Funicello (that devolved into a nauseous nightmare) his day on the set of a TV special with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney and Louis Armstrong, exactly why a wholesome boy singer would include in his book a chapter titled, One Dead Junkie and a Masturbating Monkey, how the love and wisdom of his minister father and sharp witted mother fortified his remarkable journey, and the powerfully poignant night of President Kennedy's assassination when The Preps gave voice to heartbreak at Ohio State University. Through it all, Bruce remains a student. He confides what he learned from Gene Kelly, Ozzy Nelson and George Burns and just how he embraces the blessing of encountering someone who knows more than you and opening yourself up to new lessons.Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending Killers of the Flower Moon, in theaters and Desperately Seeking Soulmate: Escaping Twin Flames Universe, a doc series on Prime.Path Points of Interest:Bruce BellandIcons, Idols, and Idiots of Hollywood: My Adventures in America's First Boy Band by Bruce BellandThe Edsel ShowThe Four Preps on WikipediaKillers of the Flower Moon - In TheatersDesperately Seeking Soulmate: Escaping Twin Flames Universe

When Ronald D. Moore's reimagined Battlestar Galactica premiered on The Sci-Fi Channel in 2003, it was a watershed moment for the genre. A gritty, moody, morally complicated redo of the cheesy '70s Glen Larson series, Moore's take on the show -- a space opera about a fleet of ships carrying the remnants of humanity to a mysterious planet called Earth, with a robotic enemy called the Cylons giving chase -- crystallized so many of America's post-9/11 fears about terrorism, splinter cells, and the tenuous lines between freedom and security. But more than that, it had some of the best cast, most intriguing characters, and incredible production design and special effects that were possible for cable television. And the cherry on top is the critically-lauded score courtesy of then-unknown composer Bear McCreary, whose success on the show has catapulted him to a career as one of the most prolific composers working in media today. Since Galactica, he's scored everything from The Walking Dead to Colossal to Godzilla: King of the Monsters, as well as Ron Moore's current show Outlander and video games like God of War. With all of that, though, his work still stems from his innovative work on Galactica, a highly unconventional suite of music that eschews big, bombastic Williams-ian brass for starker, more minimalist cues drawn from everything from world music to rock 'n roll. And now, the soundtracks for all four seasons of the show have been remastered and are available on music streaming services, as well as a new album of live concert renditions of some of the show's most iconic tracks, So Say We All. I've been a huge fan of his music since BSG, so it was a treat to bend Bear's ear for a solid forty minutes, talking about everything from his humble beginnings on the project to a breakdown of some of my favorite cues and the stories behind them. You can visit Bear McCreary's official website here. All four seasons of Battlestar Galactica's original soundtrack are available on music streaming services, and you can listen to So Say We All on Spotify here.

Inside the Idiot Box arch nemesis, Glen Larson, is at it again! He's taken a lame concept and managed to make it worse simply by putting it on TV. This week the boys watched Manimal, the story of a man that can shapeshift into animals, travel through time, is constantly being stabbed, and has a “will they/won't they” relationship with his own daughter.

It's the second edition in the remastered series of our early episodes. This time we go back at Episode 3 where Mike and Greg looked at two of Glen Larson's 1983 outings Manimal and Automan. Listen as Greg enjoys the greatness of Simon McCorkindale and his Falcon as Mike shakes his head while they visit a little place called ZIPPERS?!?! BTW, Cursor is still a little pervert.

Show notes, Night City Secrets Episode 3 Game Session 3, Part 1 – Back to the Beginning Cover Art for the podcast from “Cyberpunk madness,” by the artist Eddie Del Rio.   Intro and closing music is from Amoebacrew, called simply "Cyberpunk royalty free music.”  It is available on Youtube: Background ambient music is from RoyaltyFreeSounds, called “Soundscape Ambient, Cyberpunk Music. Royalty Free.” It is on Youtube:   DRAMATIS PERSONAE REF = The Referee Antigone = Corporate.  Director of Public Relations for the Paupau Collective (PPC in Night City.  PPC is a family autonomous corporation floating out on ships in the Pacific Ocean.  Half-Greek half-Polynesian. “Chewie”= (NPC) Medtech.  Officially, Consuela Jarillo, a Costa Rican doctor currently dating Han.  She is played by the REF. She’s also a pilot. Hako = Fixer.  Aohako is also Hawaiian, but not related to Han or Antigone. He grew up in Night City and has connections all over the city.  He and Antigone met through their common mentor, Derek Trammel, a former Night City Police Department detective, now a private investigator. Han = Solo. Full name is “Hanakahi Lonoehu.”  The team Solo and pilot, bioscultped to look like Harrison Ford, though he also has spiky short hair. Native Hawaiian, half-Polynesian, cousin to Antigone. Stahl = (NPC) A pilot for hire, short but very capable Japanese Solo and former fighter pilot.  Used to do odd jobs with Han. Frequently hired by Petrochem. Surány = Netrunner.  A young and nerdy Czech fame-seeker. Raised in Night City, and went to high school with Chewie. Attained some fame for his “March of the Ents” program: he names all his programs after people, places, and events in the Tolkien Mythos, and has been trying to grow a Gandalf beard.

The podcast of five gaming friends playing the tabletop RPG Cyberpunk 2020.   This is episode 3, which is actually part one of our third gaming session. If you’ve listened thus far, you know that I started our first show in the middle of the game.   This episode takes us back to the beginning of Game Night #3.  When I watched the reboot of the Battlestar Galactica TV series that aired in 2005, I was blown away by the season one, episode one show called “33.”  The creators Glen Larson and Ronald Moore    threw us right into the harried ragtag escape of the human fleet.  It was extremely disorienting, and yet I found it riveting. It really forced us to engage our imaginations to suss out what the heck was happening.   At the same time, I know there are people who hated it.  I think part of that taste discrepancy is simply how we neurally process narratives, and when our expectations are not being met, we can shut out experiences that are too unexpected or too unnerving.   I’m currently listening to a podcast series called “Dark Future Dice.”  It is run by three artists who walk through playing their first table-top role-playing game.  It is filed under the handle “Rocket Adrift” on youtube. They start from the very beginning of character creation and walking you through the gameworld.  This episode will be more akin to that style.   It was by listening to their show that I got the idea to start recording our game nights, so… thanks to Dark Future Dice for putting out that content! There is less action in this episode, but more time spent on set-up.  I’m releasing this footage in case there are people who want some of the holes filled in if you felt unsatisfied not having enough background information in the first two shows.  In the future, I’ll continue to release short content snippets that dive into the worldbuilding and the specific characters by doing interviews with the other players, and that will serve as brief filler content. If you’re happy to continue on with the story and what happens to Antigone, Hako, Han, and Surany, the next show will be coming very soon. But if you want a little clarity… Antigone is a Corporate in a family-based business we call the Paupau Collective, or PPC.  This is an autonomous, sovereign non-governmental entity floating out in the Pacific Ocean.  It is somewhat akin to “The Raft” from the cyperpunk novel Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson.   PPC was founded by her grandfather, Matareka “Frankie” Paupau.  He is a world-renowned botanist/biochemist who helped create the strain of grains used in the manufacture of CHOOH2, the biofuel that everything runs on in the world of Cyberpunk.  He did that while working at Biotechnica Corporation, described in the Cyberpunk 2020 2nd edition book, page 212. His daughter married a Greek scientist, so Antigone and her brothers and sisters are all half-Greek, half-Polynesians with various roles in the PPC structure. Frankie disagreed with Biotechnica’s decision to license out the formula to other agribusiness and petro- and hydrocarbon corporations, so he left the company, returned to his native Polynesian Islands, and took to the water with a congregation of fellow Islanders and refugees of the South American Drug Wars. PPC lashed together a flotilla, or more likely a flotsam, of tankers, yachts, sailboats, cruise liners, aircraft carriers, container vessels, barges…. anything that could float - and declared themselves an independent “country” not subject to the laws or taxes of any nation-state.  On those re-purposed boats they built aquaponic facilities to grow fresh fish, food, and bioengineered wheat. They turn this into a better and cheaper version of CHOOH2 that Frankie Paupau continued to improve. He also developed a new strain of cocaine that is resistant to the virus introduced by the US government that blighted the original plant.  They call this “New Coke,” and smuggle it into various cities around the Pacific Rim. Antigone is the Director of Public Relations in Night City for the PPC, looking to expand operations by selling the improved CHOOH2 as well as fresh, clean vegetables and fish.  And also, of course, smuggling in New Coke. So they have some natural enemies in Petrochem corporation (manual page 213), the world’s largest producer of CHOOH2. The crew is her cousin Han, the team Solo, his girlfriend “Chewie,” a medtech.  Aohako, “Hako” the Hawaiian Night City Native and Fixer, and finally Surany, a nerdy Czech Netrunner who is trying to grow a Gandalf Beard and names all his programs after things from J.R.R. Tokein’s Middle-Earth mythos. And…. scene.

Battlestar Galactica 1978. In the early 60's, Glen Larson had the idea for Battlestar Galactica, originally called Adam's Ark. It was not able to find it's way to TV until Star Wars' release in 1977 when every TV network and movie studio decided to get into the "Star Game". Beginning in 1978 it did not last long, citing declining ratings and cost overruns, ABC canceled Battlestar Galactica in April 1979.  In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing and Norman Lao talk about the original Battlestar Galactica. We discuss our experiences with the show, watching things as children, watching the series now, the story, setting, production design, the mythology, the acting and if the show has staying power.   Host Matthew Rushing   Guest Norman Lao   Editor and Producer Matthew Rushing Richard Marquez   Associate Producers Norman C.

Bethany Remely helps Pop Fury celebrate its Sweet Sixteen(th episode). She shares the trials and tribulations of her trip to NYC, her type of guy, relationship hangovers and why she ended up in comedy and not international economics. SHOW NOTES: Sammy blows the intro by calling Bethany 'Beth' in his intro. Bethany talks about confidence in improv, the Slump and time away. Sammy blows it again by saying she went to Georgetown. We talk about Bethany getting into George Washington, her high school education and playing Thorin Oakenshield in a high school play. Bethany is a product of Pittsburgh. She educates Sammy on the Terrible Towel, Myron Cope and the Immaculate Reception. Sammy compares her to a female Rudy who never went to Notre Dame. This spurs us to talk about our favorite sports movies. She shares the epic tale of train, plane and luggage misadventures on her recent trip to NYC to see her beloved Steelers. She visited Ground Zero and got judged in a Jimmy Choo store. The Jets fans were nice and the game was horrible. After more travel trials and tribulations, Bethany almost met her future husband on her return trip home. We talk about what is Bethany's type of guy. Vegans in skinny jeans need not apply. Bethany doesn't understand why Kim Kardashian did what she did and thought Kim's butt looked weird. Bethany sometimes thinks she's only funny onstage and not in real life, which may have contributed to failed date once. We talk about playing the Game, relationships and relationship hangovers that cause expectations in new relationships. Hollywood producer Glen Larson passed away this week. Bethany loves Tom Selleck at any age. She just finished binge watching Scandal and was affected by it. Bethany doesn't finish watching show—she will leave the last episodes of a series for rainy days. She recommends therapy for everyone. There was a study on marijuana's affects on the brain but Sammy didn't read it. Bethany talks about why she ended up in comedy and not international economics. She talks about politics and healthcare and how politics is about winning and not about people. She'd rather make people laugh. We talk about refocusing your goals and calibrating your expectations as you grow older as an improvisor and artist and the adult choices you begin to make. We discuss improv in Pittsburgh, performing/knowing shortform improv and bad shows. Bethany delves more into the Comedysportz experience. We squeeze in one more plug for Southwest Airlines during the outro.
