Yeah, yeah. It's April Fool's Day today...technically. And yes, we've pulled our japes in the past. You're right to be on your guard. But we promise, this is just a normal episode. Ok, maybe not normal normal. It's a pretty great episode, actually! Joining Lizzy and Nate in Spielenwald's basement studio are frequent guests, Z and Rich Johnson. They've come to talk about, spoil, examine, dissect, illuminate, and swear copiously about The Martian, Andy Weir's 2011 novel and Ridley Scott's 2015 adaptation of the same name. Both versions are pretty well out of sight, and there's a lot about both to dig. Even still, when we do run into the occasional speed bump you can be certain we'll talk our way through whatever it is. We're here for the vibes. Ayyy! Erratum: as far can be determined, Andy Weir does nor or has not lived in the PNW. We'll not hold it against him. Several good people don't.

David Kennis emailed a photo: "It was a pleasure to hear my first episode  tonight why walking our dogs Bella the Great Dane and Thorin the Great Pyrenees Mix. The episode was #684. The Friel Sisters were the focus. Here in Ames, Iowa it happens that we have a Friel Drive. It isn't as lovely as the Friel Sister's voices and the instrumentation which accompanies them. You asked for a picture of what we are doing while listening. Mine is attached." Mike Sigler emailed a couple photos: “Hi Mark, Mike Sigler here.  I've been listening to your podcast regularly for a while now and have been meaning to write for almost as long. So what have I been up to: I've been running sound for a little Celtic music dinner concert series at The Old Brogue Falls Church Virginia, one of the several Irish pubs in the Washington DC area.  The series runs in the Fall and the Spring and consists of two dinner seatings and a wonderful performance of Celtic music.  I've been running sound for them for about two years (a new skill for me) and have been having a blast. I've attached pictures of the groups from the last two concerts, one by Jug of Punch (Pat Egan (Guitar), Sharon Knowles (Harp), Tabby Finchan (Key Board), John Knowles (Fiddle)) and the other by Charlie Zahm and Tadd Marks.  We've got three more concerts coming up this fall and I'm very much looking forward to them. Thanks for all you do – your show keeps reminding me to play and engage where I can (even if I seem to always find out about the local festivals only after they are over!). Best,"   Jeremiah Donier emailed an image: "Marc, I love your podcast and music. After visiting your merch website today and getting a free CD, I think you can use more designs. Attached is something I created based on the "Some Like it Scot" photo by Rich Johnson, https://www.pinterest.com/pin/176766354114786077/. I reached out to the photographer for his permission to design this and was given the okay. So, I wanted to create something fun and uplifting for the New Year with the saying "Up with Kilts! Down with Pants." I can add your logo too and whatever else you want to see (except for what's under the kilt of course  -  he he!). I can provide a vector file so it can be printed and scaled to whatever size is needed for the podcast's merchandise. This is free because I don't have much money to contribute, you give so much joy to the podcast listeners, and it is my small way of saying thanks for being so wonderful. Let me know what you think. Sláinte!"  

On this season 3 premiere of the podcast, Phillip is joined by Erik Clapp from www.cinemaforce.net and Rich Johnson from www.richpieces.com to discuss The Great Escape from 1963. Rich did the narration and Erik did the editing of the video essay on the new Arrow UK release of The Great Escape. So Phillip thought it would be great to have them as his guests. It's a great conversation that starts right away. Then Phillip reads Listener Opinions from Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Phillip, Rich, and Erik then finish talking about the movie. They answer the regular questions; Did they notice anything Tarantino might have liked or used in a film, What do they rate the movie, and would they buy it, rent it, or find it for free. Phillip then gives his Phil's Film Favorite of the Week; Righting Wrongs (1986). Then Erik gives his recommendation; Age of Consent (1969) and Taking of Beverly Hills (1991).
