So, we've been talking about Harlan Ellison a lot off-mic (and a little bit on mic) and it just so happens that Xero has a buddy who's just recorded several audio-versions of Ellison's writing. Luis Moreno joins Xero, Scum, and CoinOps for an extended discussion on Ellison's life, works, and controversies.Links!https://www.luismorenotheactor.com/https://www.neondystopia.com/https://www.patreon.com/neondystopia/https://cyberpunklibrarian.com/https://rss.com/podcasts/l0wl1f3podcast/https://youtube.com/@l0wl1f3pod?feature=shareddiscord.gg/M6fGZERb7Z

Today on the 5: The 90s were a wild time for point and click games, and ideas you'd never expect ended up getting made into games. One of these bizarre specimens, an adaptation of the Harlan Ellison story I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream, just got a remaster and I'm going to see what it's like.

The CELEBRATING SUPERMAN series continues with Eisner award winner MIKE CARLIN, the legendary group editor of Superman comics through the late 80s and 90s. During his beloved Superman tenure, Mike helped lead an all-star team of writers and artists, including the likes of John Byrne, Dan Jurgens, Roger Stern, Jerry Ordway, Louise Simonson, Jon Bogdanove, AND MORE. He oversaw such game-changing stories as THE DEATH/RETURN OF SUPERMAN story arc and spearheaded a number of creative decisions that have shaped the character and had major influence on not just the comics themselves but adaptations such as the 1990s Lois & Clark television series and even James Gunn's new film.In their conversation, Shawn and Mike discuss how Mike got into comics, what eventually brought him over to DC, why he and the Superman creative team decided to kill Superman, and an angry phone call from Harlan Ellison once the news of Superman's death hit the mainstream.Episode art illustrated by Jon Bogdanove and Dennis Janke, kindly provided by Mr. Carlin.

The aliens wouldn't accept help, though their world was about to explode. They were adolescents. Adolescence is the time when you aren't smart enough to ask for help… The Untouchable Adolescents by Harlan Ellison. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.In a world filled with science fiction one can never ever hear enough Harlan Ellison stories! From the pages of Super-Science Fiction in February 1957 let's go as fast as we can to page 68 for a story credited to Ellis Hart but in reality penned by Mr. Ellison, The Untouchable Adolescents by Harlan Ellison…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, in 1927 Amazing Stories had this to say about our next episode, We could wax rhapsodical in our praise, as the story is one of the finest pieces of literature it has been our good fortune to read. The theme is original, and yet fantastic enough to make it rise head and shoulders above many contemporary scientifiction stories. You will not regret having read this marvelous tale.

«El Merodeador en la Ciudad al Borde del Mundo» es un relato de ciencia ficción del escritor estadounidense Harlan Ellison , publicado por primera vez en su antología de 1967 Dangerous Visions . Fue concebido como una continuación de un relato de Robert Bloch , «Un juguete para Juliette», que también aparece en la antología. Un asesino psicópata del siglo XIX es secuestrado y transportado al futuro, reclamado por una sociedad decadente y estilizada a un tiempo, ávida de sensaciones nuevas que experimentar. Sus secuestradores han decidido implantarse en su cabeza para experimentar subjetivamente los horrendos crímenes que el asesino ha realizado (realizará) en el pasado. Sin embargo, algo sale mal: el asesino escapa al control mental de sus captores e inicia una violenta masacre en la estilizada ciudad del futuro, desmembrando ciudadanos y coleccionando corazones. Se trata de la continuación, dentro de la antología Visiones peligrosas, del relato de Robert Bloch Un juguete para Juliette. Sin embargo, aunque empieza donde Bloch pusiera el punto final a la suya, la historia de Ellison puede ser leía de manera totalmente independiente, aparte de desarrollar un estilo, expresión e intenciones totalmente distintas a las del relato inspirador.

Content warning: Linda is honest about the sexist environment at the university at the time; there are plenty of ugly moments between Phil and Linda, which are explained in this podcast. –DA On this episode of the Dickheads podcast, The Davids welcome Linda Castellani. In the early 70s, she was an English major at Cal State Fullerton when her professor Willis McNelly asked her and a few other students to write to Philip K. Dick, who was going through a rough patch. A month later, Linda and her friend Tim Powers (the author who would go on to win the World Fantasy Award) picked up Phil Dick at LAX when he moved to Orange County. A young college student at the time, Linda was a short-lived crush for Phil. Linda shares personal stories about her time at Cal State Fullerton, hanging out with Phil, Harlan Ellison, and Norman Spinrad. Through the highs and lows, she gives a picture of her time with one of the most important writers of the 20th century. –DA Our Patreon ►► http://www.patreon.com/LanghorneJTweed Electric Larryland Discord ►► https://discord.com/channels/557458722268643329 David's YouTube Channel ►► https://www.youtube.com/user/Veganrevwithzombies/ •D.

Artificial Intelligence is fast becoming one of the most divisive topics in the world today.There's no shortage of horror stories, movies, comics, and video games with evil or out-of-control AI as a theme, but few reach the depravity and insidiousness of Harlan Ellison's "AM" (Allied Mastercomputer/Adaptive Manipulator/Aggressive Menace).Perhaps this episode will change your mind about our soon-to-be mechanical overlords...Audio and Effects by John Auerbach

A picture is worth a thousand words—especially if they're Martian words and nobody can understand them. So Mars put on a spectacular for Earth, using the skies as a TV screen. This proved the superiority of their science. But their morals—Wow! Cosmic Striptease by Harlan Ellison. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Harlan Ellison earned the nickname “The Bad Boy of Science Fiction” due to his bold, outspoken personality, controversial opinions, and unrelenting refusal to conform to societal or literary norms.Ellison frequently criticized the science fiction community, literary trends, and even societal norms, often in a way that sparked debate and controversy. He was involved in numerous public feuds with other writers, editors, and critics. Ellison's combination of immense talent, uncompromising principles, and a penchant for stirring the pot earned him the well deserved title “The Bad Boy of Science Fiction.”And then there is the story you are about to hear. It was published in 1958 and to say that it pushed boundaries is an understatement.

Fear is often Man's greatest enemy. But when there is nothing left to lose, there is everything to gain.... And with everything to gain, where is the enemy? The Outer Quiet by Herbert D. Kastle. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.If the name Herbert D. Kastle rings a bell, it's likely not because of his science fiction work. Kastle, born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1924, was primarily known as a thriller novelist, with an impressive seventeen titles to his name. Though his contributions to science fiction were modest—three short stories in the 1950s and another three in the 1960s—he gained some recognition for his 1964 sci-fi novel The Reassembled Man.In addition to his literary work, Kastle's 1975 novel Cross-Country was adapted into a feature film in 1983. He also ventured into television, co-writing an episode of Bonanza that aired in 1967.Today's tale of woe in a post-apocalyptic world is on page 94 in the May 1955 publication of If Worlds of Science Fiction, The Outer Quiet by Herbert D.

In the last episode of this year, I went to a fountain of wisdom I cherish, a small green book titled Thinking like a Mountain to present the experience of an affective education, offered by the collective exercise of the transformative ritual The Council of all Beings. We also explore the concepts of Deep Ecology, Ritual and Evolutionary Remembering. As we reach Introspection, we follow the lead of Joanna Macy and John Seed's Gaia Meditations as they respond to two crucial questions: What are you? What am I? Then, as we reach Strength, the last totem of the Hoop of Life, I share a first person testimony of the fortitude I believe is necessary to summon right now, as Graham Innes wrote in his narrative of Earth Bonding when he acted in defense of Daintree Forest, in Australia, burying himself with fellow activists up to his neck in the soil. Words and Art of two masters; Jacek Yerka and Harlan Ellison, allow me to conclude this powerful journey, and I close the Medicine Wheel by offering you the gift of a concrete exercise in Transformation.

fWotD Episode 2716: Tomorrow Speculative Fiction Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 11 October 2024 is Tomorrow Speculative Fiction.Tomorrow Speculative Fiction was a science fiction magazine edited by Algis Budrys, published in print and online in the United States from 1992 to 1999. It was launched by Pulphouse Publishing as part of its attempt to move away from book publishing to magazines, but cash flow problems led Budrys to buy the magazine after the first issue and publish it himself. There were 24 issues as a print magazine from 1993 to 1997, mostly on a bimonthly schedule. The magazine was losing money, and in 1997 Budrys moved to online publishing, rebranding the magazine as tomorrowsf. Readership grew while the magazine was free to read on the web, but plummeted when Budrys began charging for subscriptions. In 1998 Budrys stopped acquiring new fiction, only publishing reprints of his own stories, and in 1999 he shut the magazine down.Tomorrow published many new writers, though few of them went on to successful careers. Well-known authors who appeared in the magazine included Gene Wolfe, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Harlan Ellison. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction lists The Mines of Behemoth, a novel by Michael Shea, and "Another Story", by Le Guin, as among the best work published in the magazine, but comments that Tomorrow was "rather less satisfying than one might have expected from Budrys: an uneven mix of the superior with the sufficient". Mark R. Kelly, a reviewer for Locus, described the stories as "workmanlike". Tomorrow was a finalist for the Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine in 1994 and 1995.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:38 UTC on Friday, 11 October 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Tomorrow Speculative Fiction on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Olivia.

What if you could step back into the 1980s and wander through the campy, eerie world of horror television? Join us for a nostalgic trip as we unravel the origins and creative genius behind the classic anthology series "Tales from the Dark Side." With roots linked to the iconic 1982 film "Creepshow" and the visionary George Romero, this series ingeniously blends humor, horror, and the supernatural. We recount the unforgettable premiere episode, "Trick or Treat," where a capitalist antihero meets a spooky fate, and reflect on Romero's tenacity in bringing his chilling vision to life despite legal hurdles.Our conversation shifts to spotlight standout episodes like "Anniversary Dinner" and "Inside the Closet," showcasing the talents of Tom Savini and Fritz Weaver. Journey into the heart of these episodes, where an albino ghoulie lurks to the haunting sounds of a theremin, evoking a sense of thrilling nostalgia. We also explore the series' cultural impact, especially through its adaptations of works by renowned authors like Harlan Ellison, Clive Barker, and Stephen King, adding layers of intrigue to an already rich tapestry of storytelling. There's even room for a laugh as we connect these eerie tales to the world of musical theater.Anthology series have evolved, but their charm remains timeless. We draw comparisons to modern successors like "The Twilight Zone" and "Black Mirror," examining the puzzle-like nature of their narratives. As we reminisce about the original "Tales from the Dark Side," we ponder its enduring appeal amidst today's streaming challenges. We wrap up our episode with a candid discussion on podcasting ethics, underscoring the value of genuine research and active listener engagement. With a sprinkle of humor, we remind our audience to support local businesses and leave no trace behind, making this episode a delightful blend of entertainment and insightful discourse.

As we gear up for the inevitable year-in-review discussions, and the annual semi-hiatus between the fall and spring convention sessions (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), we return to our familiar questions of canon and influence, noting that while some books seem to drop out of the discussion within months of being published, others,like Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, continue to generate responses despite controversy.  From that, we not-quite-seamlessly segue into a discussion of Harlan Ellison and J. Michael Straczynski's The Last Dangerous Visions and the problems in presenting stories over 50 years old together with brand-new tales, finally chatting about what makes you want to recommend a book to a friend.  Along with way, we mention several interesting writers, including Emily Tesh, Wole Talabi, and Kate Heartfield.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are simplifying life beyond the details as we zoom out to see the bigger picture. Having a hard time seeing the forest for the trees? Caught up in the minutia of life and never feel like you truly have a grasp on what's important? Life often gets overwhelming when we get caught up in the small details—stress, distractions, and the constant busyness of our day-to-day. But when we step back, we realize that what truly matters is simple: connections, purpose, and personal growth. We'll explore how shifting our focus from the non-essentials to the bigger picture brings clarity, peace, and a deeper sense of fulfillment. Let's dive into ways to refocus, simplify, and see life for what it really is—a series of meaningful moments and lessons. I think this kind of perspective isn't always easy to obtain, and maybe that's on purpose. I mean, if you were always able to see the bigger picture would you even recognize that it IS in fact the bigger picture? Harlan Ellison said, "Without pain, there can be no pleasure. Without sadness, there can be no happiness. Without misery there can be no beauty". They say hindsight is 20/20 meaning it's easier to understand something after it has already happened. So what should this big-picture thinking do to you today?   It helps you in everyday life by giving you more clarity and a better perspective. Instead of getting stuck on the little things that go wrong, it helps you focus on what really matters. It makes it easier to handle daily stress because you're not sweating the small stuff. You start to prioritize what's important, making choices that align with your bigger goals. It helps you stay focused on the long run and see challenges as just part of the process. In the end, it keeps you grounded and helps you live more intentionally. I don't know about you…but I want more of that! Techlyticaly helps us challenge this thinking with Seeing Things Differently: How Perspective Changes Everything found on Linkedin Patrick Buggy offers some inspiring ideas on What to do When You Feel Stuck in a Rut found at Mindful Ambitions On Lena Samford's blog, I found some more ideas about How to See the Bigger Picture On the Art of Movement's YouTube channel, I found 20 Things Most People Learn Too Late In Life Here are some effective visioning exercises to help broaden your thinking: Future Self Visualization: Close your eyes and imagine your life five or ten years from now. Picture where you are, what you're doing, and how you feel. Write down the details to clarify your goals and aspirations. Mind Mapping: Start with a central idea or goal and branch out with related concepts, tasks, or dreams. This visual representation can help you see connections and generate new ideas. Journaling: Dedicate time each week to write about your thoughts, dreams, and experiences. Reflecting on your journey can reveal patterns and insights about your bigger picture. Vision Board Creation: Collect images, quotes, and symbols that represent your goals and dreams. Arrange them on a board to create a visual reminder of what you aspire to achieve. Role-Playing Scenarios: Imagine how you would approach specific situations or challenges as your future self. This can help you think more creatively about solutions and opportunities. Goal Setting Retreat: Take a day or weekend away from your usual environment to focus solely on your long-term vision. Set aside time for brainstorming, reflecting, and planning. Reverse Engineering: Start with your end goal and work backward. Outline the steps needed to achieve it, identifying potential obstacles and resources along the way. Gratitude Reflection: Regularly reflect on what you're grateful for in your life. This can help you recognize the bigger picture of your journey and motivate you to continue pursuing your dreams. Group Brainstorming: Collaborate with others to discuss ideas and visions. Diverse perspectives can spark new thoughts and help you see possibilities you hadn't considered. Meditative Reflection: Spend time in meditation focused on your goals and dreams. Quieting your mind can help clarify what truly matters to you and expand your vision. CHALLENGE: Don't let the small stuff keep you stuck—challenge yourself to step back, broaden your perspective, and see the bigger picture. By shifting your focus, you'll find clarity, purpose, and the freedom to pursue what truly matters in your life.   I Know YOU Can Do It!

Staci's guest is Erik Nelson, the director of DAYTIME REVOLUTION, a new documentary that chronicles one week in 1972 when John Lennon and Yoko Ono co-hosted the most popular show on daytime TV, The Mike Douglas Show, bringing together iconic leaders of the cultural, musical, and political revolution. Erik is also known for producing Grizzly Man, directed by Werner Herzog, and his own projects, such as Dreams With Sharp Teeth, the only authorized Harlan Ellison bio.

“The task of writing is to take a character and put him up a tree and start throwing rocks at him,” notes novelist, screenwriter, comic book writer, and television showrunner J. Michael Straczynski. The two-time Hugo Award-winning author is perhaps best known as the creator of the television series “Babylon 5”, and as the screenwriter for the 2008 Oscar-nominated Clint Eastwood film “Changeling.” He is also the author of the Superman: Earth One” trilogy of graphic novels, and for many years he was the writer for Marvel Comics' “Thor,” “Fantastic Four,” and “The Amazing Spider-Man” series, as well as for DC's “Superman,” “Wonder Woman,” and “Before Watchmen” titles.     These days, Joe is spending most of his time throwing rocks on behalf of his late friend Harlan Ellison, the legendary writer of speculative fiction, who is having a bit of a moment more than six years after his death. As the executor of the Harlan Ellison estate, Joe has been the driving force behind the re-release of the first two installments of Ellison's landmark story collections Dangerous Visions and Again, Dangerous Visions, which the author had always imagined as a trilogy. Now, thanks to Joe Straczynski's dedication, the long-awaited third installment of “the most significant and controversial Science Fiction collections of our time,” will finally see the light of day with the publication of The Last Dangerous Visions, due from Blackstone Publishing in October 2024. “Harlan was my friend, and I have an obligation to him to get his work where it needs to be, in front of a mainstream audience,” Joe reflects on a year that has also seen the publication of a new collection of Ellison's stories (Greatest Hits) as well as a novel of his own (The Glass Box).  Join us as we talk with J. Michael Straczynski on his influences as a writer, on the art and craft of storytelling in all its many forms, and on what it has meant to him to be able to breathe new life into the work of an artist hailed by the Los Angeles Times as “a twentieth-century Lewis Carroll.” Learn more about  J.

The episode originally aired on February 11, 1998, and is noted for its unique perspective, presenting the storyline through the eyes of two maintenance workers, Mac and Bo. The hosts compare this episode to 'Star Trek: Lower Decks' and discuss various plot elements, including how the story idea originated from Harlan Ellison. They also touch upon character interactions, such as Byron's telepathic abilities, the dynamic between Londo and G;Kar

This episode contains: All three mighty hosts are here this week. Devon shares that a family is moving in next door. He wonders if they should build a ping-pong fence to create a “play-berhood.” Steven updates us on his mini painting projects and talks about getting life back on track. Ben recounts the long journey of reclaiming space on macOS and solving the wallpaper bug. He mentions tools like Wallpaper Engine and Fences by Stardock. Future or Now? Let's Get Skeptical: Ben discusses the rise of AI-powered photo editing tools like the Pixel 9's Magic Editor, which can create highly realistic fake images. This technology challenges our assumptions about the authenticity of photographs. Read more on The Verge In related news, a lawyer used ChatGPT in federal court, with disastrous results. Read more on Forbes Steven talks about The Acolyte being canceled and shares his thoughts on how loud idiots should be ignored. He also gives early impressions of Star Wars Outlaws after playing 10-12 hours. It's an open-world game, but it lacks the strong hook found in Fallen Order. Book Club: We discuss I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison. This chilling short story explores a dystopian future where a supercomputer has destroyed humanity, save for five individuals it tortures eternally.

Devon tells us that most humans who have ever been born did not live to be adults. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9Mb0cbDenA&t=636s Steven is finally over Covid and has finished Delicious in Dungeon. Ben recommends the show Sunny on Apple TV + https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18070898/   Future or Now? It's longer Than You Think: Ben is speedrunning Lushfoil Photo Sim. This is a tranquil photography experience. Ben found some really cool stuff in the game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1749860/Lushfoil_Photography_Sim/ Soilent AI is AI!: Researchers from Rice University have identified a significant risk in generative AI when models are trained on synthetic data over multiple generations, leading to a condition called "Model Autophagy Disorder" (MAD). Similar to a feedback loop, this disorder causes AI models to produce increasingly poor-quality outputs, losing diversity and reliability. The phenomenon is compared to mad cow disease, where a self-consuming process degrades the system. The study emphasizes the critical need for fresh, real data to sustain AI integrity and prevent the potential deterioration of internet-based systems. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/07/240730134759.htm Alien: Romulus Devon gives his review of Alien: Romulus. Is it too “key jangly?” Devon notes that Prometheus was made even worse by having the character be scientists, which made their stupidity that much more unforgivable. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18412256/   Book Club We discuss The Egg by Andy Weir. The Egg is a short story written by Andy Weir, his most popular, and follows a nameless 48-year-old man who discovers the "meaning of life" after he dies. The story is about "you" (in the second person), and God, who is "me" (in the first person). God says that you have been reincarnated many times before, and that you are soon to be reincarnated once more, leading to quite a few existential questions. This story did not feel any real revelation from this story. Ben doesn't like reincarnation. https://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17563539-the-egg?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=rFr9UzthWP&rank=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6fcK_fRYaI We discuss who everyone is the main character in their own story, which reminds Devon of the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. https://www.thedictionaryofobscuresorrows.com/ Ben tells us about ZEN FLESH, ZEN BONES. https://archive.org/details/ZenFleshZenBones Next week we are reading I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/415459.I_Have_No_Mouth_I_Must_Scream  

Amnesia? Well, maybe—but how and where had he earned that $50,000? Blank? By Randall Garrett, that's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Thanks to Irma Stolfo on Apple Podcasts Australia who left us a 5 Star review! “Simply the best. Scott your work is outstanding. I love sci-fi now and am especially hooked on these vintage short stories. Quick and easy and so full of character and action. Your narration is pure perfection. Thank you.” Thank you Irma. If you haven't already left us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts in your country, I hope you will, if you think we deserve it.And a special thanks to Patrick McLendon who bought us 3 coffees. Patrick says, “I love hearing these great unheralded stories, and the readings are virtuosic. Thanks, and enjoy a cup o' Joe.” Thanks Patrick!! What a huge compliment and thanks for the coffee Patrick. If you would like to show your support for our podcast there is a link in the description. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsVToday marks the debut of another vintage sci-fi author, Randall Garrett. Garrett was among the most prolific science fiction authors during the 1950s and 1960s with most of his more than 180 short stories during that time. He wrote under a long list of pen names which includes David Gordon, Blake MacKenzie, Seaton McKettrig, Clyde Mitchell, Mark Phillips, Robert Randall, Leonard G. Spencer, S. M. Tenneshaw and Gerald Vance. He was good friends with Robert Silverberg and the two of them wrote many short sci-fi stories together. In fact, this may not actually be Randall Garrett's debut. He may have written Six Frightened Men with Robert Silverberg but we're not 100% sure.We are sure of one thing, we will be featuring more of his work in the future. The June 1957 issue of Infinity Science Fiction Magazine was an unusual issue. In its pages were three stories with the same name, kind of. Isaac Asimov wrote a story named Blank! with an exclamation mark which appeared on page 88. Harlan Ellison's story titled Blank with no punctuation can be found on page 99. And sandwiched in the middle on page 93 is our story, Blank? With a question mark By Randall Garrett…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Halloway stared down at Earth, and his brain tore loose and screamed, Man, man, how'd you get in a mess like this, in a rocket a million miles past the moon, shooting for Mars and danger and terror and maybe death.

I have heard it said that every writer has a Batman story they want to tell. Only a few get to tell them. And sadly not all of them are great. This week we're reading three stories from writers not usually associated with Batman, Harlan Ellison, Eddie Campbell and David Lapham. And, well, none of these really are going down as central to the canon. The Night of Thanks, But No Thanks (Detective Comics V.1 # 567) Gotham Emergency (Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight # 200) City of Crime (Detective Comics V.1 # 800-808,811-814) Check out our current ranking list at www.comicsxf.com/batchat-rankings/ Thanks to Geri Nonnewitz for our podcast logo Follow the show on Twitter @BatChatComics and support the show on Patreon at www.patreon.com/batchatwithmattandwill

With the Glasgow WorldCon just around the corner, Gary and Jonathan turn their attention to plans for the event. In addition to panel appearances, there'll be a special live recording of The Coode Street Podcast where we are joined by Joe Haldeman, Gay Haldeman, and John Scalzi to discuss 50th anniversary of the publication of The Forever War. Since rambling is unavoidable, there is also a brief discussion of how newer readers discover older SFF texts and writers, both in terms of short fiction and novels, anthologies like The Science Fiction Hall of Fame and Dangerous Visions series (which has been in the news because of the much-delayed publication of  The Last Dangerous Visions,) as well as single-author collections like Harlan Ellison's Greatest Hits. That somehow leads to a chat about how reputations are made and sustained, and Gary and Jonathan touch upon a number of contemporary writers—but you'll have to listen in order to find out which ones.

Episode 22 - Murdock and Marvel: 1984 This week we enter continue with the massive expansion era for Marvel and the Direct Market, with important new creators, new companies, and a whole lot of turtles…its 1984!  The Year in Comics  Notable and Newsworthy Industry Trends Cartoon Art Museum: https://www.cartoonart.org/ Eagle Awards Dan's Favorite The Year in Marvel Events & Happenings Box Brown's “The He-Man Effect”: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250261403/thehemaneffect  New Titles New Characters Series Ending Who's in the Bullpen ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Arthur Adams Dan's Favorite The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #202-213, Incredible Hulk #291 and 293, Defenders #127, Spider-Man and Daredevil Special Edition #1, Marvel Team-up #140-141, Elektra Saga #3-4, Marvel Age #17  Writing credits: Denny O'Neill (202, 204-207, 211-213), Steven Grant (203), Harlan Ellison and Arthur Byron Cover (208), Arthur Byron Cover (209), Denny O'Neill and David Mazzucchelli (210)  Pencilers: William Johnson (202, 205, 207), Geof Isherwood (203), Luke McDonnell (204), David Mazzucchelli (206, 208-13)  Inks: Danny Bulanadi (202-206, 208-11, 213), Bulanadi and Mel Candido (207), Bulanadi and Pat Redding (212)  The year starts and ends with Micah Synn – Chief of an East African Kingorge Tribe who are also descendants of British explorers who have been isolated until very recently. Synn, his two wives and a group of other followers have traveled to the United States. Many of the books this year chronicle Synn turning from a media darling to a wanted criminal hunted by Daredevil and Kingpin.  It starts off in Assistant Editor's month where we meet Micah Synn, his group and Professor Horactio Piper who wants to Enlist Nelson & Murdock to help with legal documents for Synn and company. Synn gets arrested for stealing food and then attacking a store owner as well as 3 police officers, upon release one of Micah's wives walks into the street and is hit by a car. At the hospital, Synn attacks another office before Daredevil intervenes.   One of the few detours from the Synn story, Daredevil takes on a new foe – The Trump – whom has one of Daredevil's childhood bullies is accused of helping. Daredevil stops Trump from taking a shipment of weapons. After being confronted by Foggy, Murdock drops Schmidt as a client.  Back to Synn, An assassination attempt on the chief that has ties to his family is thwarted by Daredevil and Debbie Harris throws a party and becomes infatuated with the Synn.  Next we meet Glorianna O'Breen, Debbie Harris' niece from Ireland, who is in New York over concerns she's in danger after her father is killed. Which turns out to be true. Daredevil saves her from being abducted and then saves her from a friend of her father's that turns out to be a killer called the Gael.  Micah Synn and company crash a Christmas Party and Matt Murdock's house which leads to a stolen kiss with Debbie Harris and another battle between Daredevil (aided by Kingpin no less) and Synn.  Another side story, As Daredevil must find a Russian defector and stolen microchip for Hydra in order to save a captured Black Widow. Daredevil finds the defector but not the chip and instead saves widow without it and the pair take down the Hydra agents who captured her.  Next Daredevil stumbles into a murder house trap set by the mother of a former villain. This story will be our spotlight story for the week.  Back to Synn, Chief Micah files a restraining order against Daredevil and his men have a run-in with Kingpin. During yet another battle between Synn and Daredevil, Synn learns of Murdock's secret.   Micah captures Becky and Vanessa for a human sacrifice to his god; DD intervenes, but Vanessa is killed; Kingpin reveals that Vanessa was really an actress he hired to keep his wife safe; DD and Kingpin team-up to take down Micah.  Matt Murdock holds a press conference to get the word out on Micah Synn, but his and Becky Blake's account is called into question by Foggy Nelson (at the urging of his wife Debbie). Harris then goes to Synn and professes her love to him and it's met with indifference and a needless slap to the face sending her to the ground.  As the year ends, the story with Synn is still going. Harris remains captive by Synn. Professor Piper seems able to look the other way on Synn until a friend and colleague of his is inadvertently killed. Piper creates a diversion and frees Harris who returns home and tells him what happened with Synn. When Foggy goes to confront Synn, he finds Piper dead and Synn's men looking to fight. Daredevil arrives and makes quick work of the tribesmen, but they aren't able to find Micah Synn.  New Powers, Toys or Places New Supporting Characters New Villains This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #208 July 1984 “The Deadliest Night of My Life” Recap Why We Picked This Story The Takeaway This is a golden age.

Writer Randy Fox returns to discuss a classic science fiction film from the 1970's. A BOY AND HIS DOG (1975) was a box office flop initially but became a beloved cult movie pretty quickly. It is one of the very few adaptations of a Harlan Ellison story that got the author's 95% approval and we dig into the reasons for that in our discussion. Hugely influential, the film stands as a still relevant template for post-apocalyptic cinema all the way up to the recent TV series FALLOUT. Made for less than half a million dollars it is the rare low budget science fiction film that doesn't show its financial constraints and manages to turn some detriments into positives. Featuring a fine central performance from Don Johnson and excellent supporting work from his canine companion (voiced by actor/musician Tim McIntire) the movie brings the original story to life brilliantly. We discuss the differences from the novella and the reasons for them as well as the few smart improvements the script weaves into the tale. Randy and I share our histories with the film and our own encounters with the legendary Ellison over the years. We dig into the charges of misogyny and misanthropy that are often leveled at the movie pulling apart the details to search for defenses. We find a few.     If you have any comments about A BOY AND HIS DOG or other 1970's science fiction films thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send them. Thank you for listening!

_I_Have_No_Mouth_and_I_Must_Scream_by_Harlan_Ellison

This time out, Jonathan and Gary consider the meaning of "cozy" (or "cosy") SF and fantasy, and whether cozy horror is even a thing. We trace the term back to cozy mystery novels and Brian W. Aldiss's characterization of certain British writers of the 1950s—especially John Wyndham—as "cozy catastrophes". Not surprisingly, this doesn't lead to any meaningful conclusions, but we do touch upon whether the notion of cozy has to do with the fiction itself, or just the reader's experience of it. Authors mentioned include Travis Baldree, Becky Chambers, Peter S. Beagle, Martha Wells, and Terry Pratchett. Then, with our usual lack of grace, we transition awkwardly into a discussion of the new Harlan Ellison's Greatest Hits, how well Ellison's fiction holds up, and some brief previews of forthcoming episodes.
