Can the rag tag members of Gladiator beat the machine and save music forever? Or are they…The Last Band??Scripts start at 1:08:41StarringHobert ThompsonMark SoloffLaura PetroNick OlsonMary FialaWith Music by Mike Scipioni and Hobert Thompson

Dark Mark Soloff returns to Blurry Photos to discuss the ever-fascinating yokai! A refresher and some new stories of yokai await, as Dark Mark nerds out with Flora on Japanese lore. Not visited for over 230 episodes, David brings Mark back to the show to revisit this fun and interesting topic. Japanese lore is rich and deep, and the boys talk about the origins, evolutions, and history of the Japanese ghosts. They also tell about some specific and fun types, including their favorites and ones used often in pop culture. Three stories are also read, all from Lafcadio Hearn's Kwaidan. Tune in and enjoy the silliness and spookiness from the land of the rising sun on this episode of Blurry Photos!

Nate, Sebastian, and David are joined by special guest Mark Soloff to discuss BIOSHOCK, 2K Games' pulp shooter from 2007. We discuss the game's critical reception, its incredible atmosphere, and how its politics look 15-odd years later. David posits the existence of "Jnco Splicers," Sebastian proposes a period-appropriate fan-casting of a filmic adaptation, and Mark harvests each and every Little Sister -- with, he claims, a clean conscience. Nate breathlessly relates the plot of PS1 platformer "Tail Concerto."

Late last year, Nintendo decided it was time to pull the plug on it's stalwart gaming handheld...the Nintendo 3DS. Therefore, we decided it was a great time to look back and do a deep dive on all things Nintendo DS and 3DS. Joining me for this retro discussion are Mason Kale, Christian Missonak, Dan Schiffmacher, and Bill Nielson. Mark Soloff returns as our outcast, having never really given the system a proper chance. We discuss the humble origins of the handheld as a "Third Pillar" to Nintendo's then current hardware divisions. We chart the evolution over time, and our reactions to dual screen technology...followed by glasses free 3D. We chat about the games we loved, and the games we never got to play. And then we end it all with the current state of the industry...and whether we will ever see another dedicated gaming handheld in the future. It's a lot of love, speculation, and nostalgia on this deep dive episode!Music Selections from New Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart 7, composed by Koji Kondo, owned by Nintendo and are included under fair use protection.

We end 2020 the way it began...with an obsession over the fantasy series, The Witcher. Joining me for all things Geralt are Pete Navis, Jake Ynzunza, Mark Soloff, and Sean Okerberg. We discuss the origins of the hit series, with an examination of the books and how they stack against other major franchises.  Then we discuss the games, with great focus on the groundbreaking third entry. Finally, we dovetail into the Netflix show...and Henry Cavill. It's a massive discussion, which seems quite appropriate for this massive world.  Enjoy, happy holidays, and we'll see ya in 2021!Music Selections from The Witcher 3 composed by Marcin Przybylowicz, owned by CD Project Red and are included under fair use protection.

Are you listening closely? Sebastian Orr returns to deliver a rare jewel of a holiday present - a commentary track of The Prestige (2006). As for Mark? He just can't stop thinking about Batman. Happy Holidays, you marvelous mouth magicians. Thank you for listening. Support this show, become a Patron right now even! Destroy the shame of nudity with clothing from the Blastropodcast Threadless store! Blastropodcast continues to defy scrutiny and remains a member of the Chicago Podcast Cooperative. This episode is brought to you in part by Safehouse Chicago. Take THAT Safehouse Duluth! This episode is an unofficial commentary of The Prestige. It is a fan production which celebrates the film through parody. The Prestige was produced by Touchstone Pictures, Warner Bros., Newmarket Films, and Syncopy.

Happy holidays, listeners! Every year, we take on an unconventional Christmas movie around the Yuletide season, and this time we (along with returning guest Mark Soloff of Blastropodcast) dip back to investigate Tim Burton's deeply strange, fascinatingly weird superhero flick Batman Returns! After Burton's first Batman revitalized the superhero movie as a pop culture phenomenon, he decided to get real strange with it in Batman Returns. Ostensibly, the film features a pitched battle between the Caped Crusader (Michael Keaton) and his arch-nemeses, the Penguin (Danny DeVito) and Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer); but it manifests itself in a strange story about mayoral races, masquerade balls and fake news campaigns to discredit Batman. The most dastardly plan anyone has in the film is Trumpian billionaire Max Schreck (Christopher Walken), who schemes to, like... build a power plant?  None of the plot dressing matters, though, since the film itself is a dazzling display of Burton's biggest idiosyncrasies - pale outcasts with mountains of guyliner, Gothic cityscapes, and mountains of quirky Danny Elfman scoring. This is the least Batman-y Batman film to date (and we should know), which might well be the biggest point in its favor. Anyway, listen to us debate the film's finer, freakier points, along with our custom drinking game! (Thanks to our sponsor Safehouse Chicago as part of the Chicago Podcast Coop!)

NOP Host Chris Bashen recently relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles...but before leaving, he recorded a series of nerdy topics with some of his best guests and friends...... Mark Soloff, host of Blastropodcast, joins me on the mic to chat about the TV series Westworld. Though we primarily focus on the show, we do chat about Michael Crichton as an author, his other works, and how he potentially copies himself. We discuss what themes run through the show, some of our favorite characters, and why the show is so important. Please note we mainly keep to Season 1, but DO dip a bit into Season 2. Mark has been a guest since the first episode of NOP, and as always, provides a great discussion!  Music Selection from the Westworld Main Theme composed by Ramin Djawadi owned by WaterTower Music and is included under fair use protection.

Life in plastic... it's phantasmic! Guest host Mark Soloff of Blastropodcast joins Flora to kick off Blurry Photober with a live show all about haunted dolls! Human figures that are said to be possessed or cursed, haunted dolls have a built-in creepiness that transcends the many stories about them. Flora and Soloff discuss what might make dolls haunted, the history of paranormal doll belief, and some of the most famous cases over the years. How do they get so spookied-up? What makes them so naturally creepy? Didn't you put that doll in a chair and not on the bed? Join a live audience for a fun foray into fear for Photober!

Harry Connickuh, everybody! This week, Mark Soloff of Blastropodcast and Our Fair City flies in from his home planet to celebrate the week before Christmas, where we sample another entry in the oeuvre of Renaissance man Harry Connick Jr.! This year, we’re melding Connickuh and Christmas a bit with 2013’s made-for-TV movie Angels Sing, in which cynical rad-dad Michael Walker (Connick Jr.) learns the true meaning of Christmas after getting a house at a steal from Weed Santa (Willie Nelson). That meaning, of course, being that you’re not a complete and whole person unless you put up Christmas decorations. SERIOUSLY. Enjoy the madness along with our custom cocktail and drinking rules!* *Oh, and be sure to hit up the Salt Lick BBQ. Yee-hah!

Special guests and RPG beginners Mark Soloff and Ashley Davis join us to discuss just what to do when you've never played an RPG before. ----more---- Here are our recommendations for D&D4e's player types!Actors Golden Sky Stories: A focus on developing your character as a complete (and cute) individual Chuubo’s Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine, Nobilis - in both games, your character is literally center stage, and the world revolves around them. Advancing your character is based around developing the desires and the responsibilities they gain from their newfound powers. Becoming - everyone plays as the same hero, and the goal of the game is to flesh them out and determine how they overcome challenges and why they are a hero. FATE (Core and Accelerated Edition): A game engine based on playing to your character’s aspects, for good or ill. WWWRPG: Of all the *World games, none gives you a stronger character role to play with. Explorers Eclipse Phase, Ashen Stars, Malifaux, and other games with strong established settings Last Stand: All the GM advice is built around setting up unique fight scenarios and cool locations and big flashy one-time events Instigators DANGER PATROL: Leap into action, don’t bother thinking about it! That is the core mechanic of Danger Patrol: the more danger you are in, the better your dice rolls get. Costume Fairy Adventures: Causing shenanigans is the goal of the game and how you win at being fairies. Everyone is John: This is like Becoming, above, except extremely silly and the goal is to Kill John. Power Gamers D&D 4e: Fully customizable, robust character classes, with potential for fun synergies. Double Cross: Probably the best point-buy supers game currently on the market! Last Stand: It is a save-the-world fightgame where you rip apart giant monsters! Strike! RPG: A simplified battle system designed for quick fights and lots of ‘em Storytellers 13th Age: Encourages characters to have relationships with the established setting Breakfast Cult: Cooperative and competitive; each player has a secret objective for plenty of intrigue Fiasco: The perfect game for telling a story where everything goes wrong. GM-less. Final Bid: For the exact same reasons as Fiasco. Monster Hearts: If you want to play Buffy the Vampire Slayer: the RPG, this is where it is, and it hits the sense of drama perfectly. Thinkers Retrocausality: This game is all about time travel, and the core mechanic is messing with the time stream in a way that gets you what you want out of it, but without causing unintended consequences The GUMSHOE line: Various games all about finding information and piecing it together to solve a mystery. The Quiet Year: This is a game where everyone has to spend a year preparing for a horrible disaster that they don't know what it is, and do what they think is best to save their community from the coming disaster. Problem solving is the name of the game. Microscope: Microscope is a game you play before another game. Microscope is a collaborative worldbuilding game where everyone works together to figure out what elements of the setting everyone cares about and wants to explore, and building a setting around those ideas. Watchers Apocalypse World: no turn order, meaning players can play whenever they feel comfortable Dungeon World: Same reasons as Apocalypse World, except for people who want the classic D&D feel. DW also has probably the best handouts of any *World game out there, which are nice for beginners. Law’s Out: the players are actors on the set of an Old West movie-- games are as fun to watch as they are to play, and the auction mechanic is good for beginners or those uncomfortable with number-crunching.
