We look back at what makes this pulp-inspired superhero story so much fun, from its retro 1930s setting and cliffhanger spirit to its cast, visual style, and underrated place in comic book movie history. Nikc Leshi's City of Kik Podcasts on Youtube!Support the showBrowse the 33/24 Archives: Check out the backroom!Follow us:InstagramFacebookWatch us on YouTube!

http://www.UnderThePuppet.com -  Jim LoGiudice began his career making props and models for films such as The Abyss, Con Air, The Rocketeer, and Armageddon. He made the move to puppetry though his church and started developing the characters and the show that would become Far Outpost, which performs weekly at Granite Creek Church in Claremont, California. I talk to Jim LoGiudice about the development of Far Outpost, the building of the puppets on the show, their crazy special effects, and more on this episode of Under The Puppet. One quick note.  During my interview with Jim we discuss some of the special effect techniques uses on Far Outpost.  Jim is a Hollywood professional and has trained in creating these special effects.  Do not attempt any of the effect techniques discussed in this interview for yourself.

Acclaimed genre filmmaker Joe Johnston (Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Captain America: The First Avenger) directed this highly anticipated Disney adaptation of the titular graphic novel from the 1980's.  It takes place in the 1940's Los Angeles where aspiring pilot Cliff Secord (Billy Campbell) is trying to make a name for himself on the flying circuit until one day, he suddenly finds a mysterious metal device along with his friend/mechanic Peevy played by Oscar-winner Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine, Catch 22). What they soon realize is that this device is actually a secret prototype jet-pack which the local Mafia, the FBI, AND the Nazis (!) are all on the hunt for. :o So Cliff tries on the jet-pack, is able to fly, and suddenly becomes....The Rocketeer!  And what results is a fun throwback adventure which was initially a flop upon release in the Summer of 1991 but would eventually garner a cult following.  The stellar cast also includes Oscar-winner Jennifer Connelly, Timothy Dalton, and the late, great Paul Sorvino. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Blake Nubar went from $30K in debt to 7x Two-Comma Club winner. And it didn't start with a product, a team, or a single ad dollar. It started with a Facebook profile. In this episode, Blake breaks down exactly how he turned a free Facebook profile into a $25,000 sales machine in 9 days, built a $1M funnel for someone else's product before he ever sold his own, and why most people are sitting on a massive traffic source they don't even know exists. He also gets into the 3 mistakes he sees entrepreneurs make over and over, why he says launching perfectly means you waited too long, and what pushed him to build Rocketeer, an AI ads platform designed to do what most entrepreneurs give up on entirely. This one covers a lot of ground.

Dave: Iron Man #3 (Josemaria Casanovas) Alex: Superman #36 (Rod Reis) American Caper Interview: Producer & Additional Writing Lazlow, Editor Shelly Bond, and Finishes Chris Anderson 1. Dan Houser described American Caper as being fueled by his fascination with “hypocrites, sociopaths, political idiots, dysfunctional families, and violence.” When you first saw the concept for this story, what immediately stood out to you as something that felt especially relevant to the moment we're living in? 2. The series pulls together a wild mix of characters. A Mormon hitman, a gambling-addicted lawyer, escaped convicts in love, a billionaire playing cowboy. How did you approach balancing such a large ensemble so the story feels chaotic in a good way rather than overwhelming? 3. Verona, Wyoming feels like a pressure cooker where crime, politics, and personal drama all collide. What was important to you in making this small town feel believable while still allowing it to host such extreme characters and situations? 4. The book leans hard into satire, sometimes feeling like it's taking shots at every side of the political spectrum. Was there ever a concern about walking that line between satire that provokes thought and satire that might alienate readers? 5. The story's interconnected crimes and morally gray characters gave me flashes of crime epics like 100 Bullets, where one event ripples across many lives. When building a narrative this tangled, how do you keep track of the cause and effect between characters? 6. Lazlow, your background includes storytelling in massive open-world games like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. Did working on a comic require a different approach to pacing and structure compared to interactive storytelling? 7. (Fun question) If each of you had to survive in Verona, Wyoming for a week, which of these characters would you trust the most to have your back, and which one would you avoid at all costs?

In today's episode, I'm making two little riffs that I think will be background music for the pixelart Rocketeer game I've been working on.  One is a little somber piece to accompany the "RIP" scene when Cliff kicks the bucket.  I've made a serious one here, but I thought I might vary what is written on the gravestone to reflect what you did, if I can figure out how to do that.  Like, for example, if you blew yourself up with a grenade, the gravestone might read, "Cliff Secord, 1911 - 1936, chowderhead."https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2026/03/09/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-552-and-like-a-hood-ornament-94-updates-on-the-rocketeer-vs-the-third-reich-video-game-7/The second riff is probably the verse to some kind of ending song, while the credits play.  I was undecided on whether to do any music with words in it, but this one came to me one day (while driving, naturally), and I thought it might fit.  If not, then for a future Thirteenth Hour soundtrack.  But since the game is really about Cliff going to rescue Peevy, I thought it could be a song about friendship, mentorship, or maybe the love fathers have for their sons (since Peevy is a kind of father figure to Cliff).    More to come next week!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

No drink for this one. I'm reviewing a Disney film that I feel may have fallen into obscurity. This is The Rocketeer from 1991. A movie well worth watching if you've never seen it and wel worth re-visiting if you haven't seen it since childhood like me.

Friends, we've got a special episode for you today. Comic book icons Wendy Pini and Richard Pini join the podcast for the first time, and they hang out for a lengthy, deep dive conversation into Elfquest's origins. Their romance began in the letters column of Silver Surfer #5 (1968), materialized as the result of a clandestine cross-country road trip, and solidified through creative collaboration, which would also challenge their partnership. Elfquest is nearly fifty years old, but it's as vibrant and relevant as ever. These comics are waiting for anyone already caught up in the Romantasy BookTok discourse. It's a profoundly philosophical work, bashing against humanity's great worries, ready to absorb those anxieties and potentially process them toward action. However, as much as you'll find yourself in Elfquest, you'll discover Wendy and Richard Pini, too. Like the best stories, it's autobiography masked as fiction. As new readers ourselves, we can guarantee Elfquest's contemporary grip. Chief Cutter's journey from the forest to the desert and the greater world beyond found us just when our lives were thrown in upheval. So, it was more than a pleasure to chat with Wendy Pini and Richard Pini about their great comic book saga, how it came to be, and why they continue as its shepherds. Over the last few years, Dark Horse Comics has gathered Elfquest: The Original Quest into four beautiful hardcover collections. Recently, they also published Elfquest: The Final Quest in a glorious hardcover omnibus, and Elfquest: The Hidden Years will receive a massive Gallery Edition Hardcover in July. Call your local comic shops asap. To stay abreast of everything Elfquest, make sure you're following them on their website, Instagram, and Bluesky.

In today's episode, I'm wrapping up the music that I started in episode 536, what I'm calling the "outdoor" Rocketeer theme for the parts of the Rocketeer vs the Third Reich pixelart game I've been making that takes place outdoors.  Since those are sections where Cliff will have his rocketpack and can fly, I wanted to give the music a kind of WW1 flying ace kind of feel.  Most of the track was done from last fall, but I ended up adding a few other instruments to round it out.Pictures: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2026/02/23/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-550-and-like-a-hood-ornament-93-updates-on-the-rocketeer-vs-the-third-reich-video-game-6/I also reflect on the nature of making music in this day and age as opposed to before, touching on what previous generations of homebrew music producers had to work with.  I've been reading out the early days of hiphop (before it was really called that), and it's fascinating to think what those guys came up with - e.g. DJ Kool Herc (the father of hip hop) made extended breakbeat compilations of his own for the neighborhood parties in the Bronx in the summer of 1973.  It's easy to lose sight of how good we have it with the tools we have (many of which are not only widely available but free), which make it all the more impressive to think what previous generations did with the tools they had.  More to come next week!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

Is The Phantom (1996) a secretly GREAT bad superhero movie, or just purple-spandex pulp trash? In this episode, we dive deep into Billy Zane's cult classic, The Phantom, and ask if it actually holds up in 2026.​ We break down the film's weird production history, its roots in classic pulp comics, and why Treat Williams' gloriously over-the-top Xander Drax performance might be one of the last great campy '90s villains.​ In this episode of Cinema Psychos Show, Brian and John cover:​ The Phantom as one of the earliest costumed superheroes and pulp icons How a Joe Dante spoof script morphed into a straight-faced '90s studio superhero movie Billy Zane's committed himbo-hero turn in purple spandex and that infamous skull cave "dead dad" dynamic Treat Williams chewing the scenery as Xander Drax, murder microscopes, magic skull lasers, and all The Phantom's place alongside Batman '89, The Shadow, The Rocketeer, and Batman & Robin in the '90s superhero boom Why this once-maligned flop now plays like cozy, Saturday-afternoon cult comfort cinema   CHAPTERS:  Introduction and Show Open [00:00] Why The Phantom Now? 30 Years Later [01:17] Movie Synopsis and Xander Drax Impressions [02:25] Personal Memories: Seeing It in Theaters [06:01] History of The Phantom and Development Drama [10:30] Plot Breakdown: Origin and Skull Cave [14:00] Introducing Diana Palmer and New York Intrigue [19:00] Plane Hijacking and Femme Fatale Fight [29:30] Skulls Unite: Museum Heist and Chase [35:00] Pirate Island Showdown and Skull Powers [43:00] Climax Explosions and Finale [49:00] Audience Reviews and Reactions [59:00] Final Thoughts and Plugs [01:18:00] Follow The Cinema Psychos Show on Socials ❤️‍

This week, comic shop employees from all over gather in Glendale, California. It's time for ComicsPRO, the annual event designed to “promote the progress and development of comic book retailers and improve the condition of the comic book industry.” It's one of our favorite times of the year as we eagerly sit by our computers waiting for announcements from publishers and the good word from our LCS pals. Sadly, we cannot be in person this year, but that doesn't mean we can't bring you exclusive information. Thanks to writer Zack Kaplan, who's on the ground at ComicsPRO, we're there by proxy. And he's dishing on his big announcement, extending his partnership with Dark Horse Comics, bringing us the final chapter in Kill All Immortals and two more new titles, Only The Savage Are Left and The Smart Division. Kill All Immortals is a nifty, nasty look at the boot standing on our necks: the billionaire class. The comic imagines a universe where various immortal clans have gobbled up control of the economy, but one is starting to crumble from within. Frey Asvald, daughter of Erik the Red, can no longer sit idly as her family consumes the planet. She wants to help us poor mortals, but in doing so, she exposes herself and others to tremendous violence. And can you really keep your hands clean when attempting global, capital G, Good? On this week's podcast, we discuss the state of comic book retail, a bizarre occurrence involving our local shops, and the anxiety of putting new books into readers' hands. Zack Kaplan gives us the skinny on Kill All Immortals as well as his two new titles at Dark Horse. We dig into our collective billionaire woes and consider one particular violent action committed by Frey in Kill All Immortals Volume One. Kill All Immortals is written by Zack Kaplan, illustrated by Fico Ossio, colored by Thiago Rocha, and lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Covers by Oliver Barrett (although the header image above is from variant cover artist Tula Lotay). Make sure you're following Zack Kaplan on BlueSky, Instagram, and his website.

Welcome back folks to the Man Cave Movie Review, the podcast where we review the good, the bad, and the ugly of movies for men and women. Thanks for joining us tonight for Episode 378, The Rocketeer. Starring Billy Campbell, Timothy Dalton, Alan Arkin, Paul Sorvino, Terry O'Quinn, Clint Howard, Margot Martindale, Joe Polito, Ed Lauer, Lauer, and the absolutely stunning, distractingly gorgeous Jennifer Connelly. We hope you enjoy this podcast. A great movie that has everything in it, but the kitchen sink. Thanks for returning and we hope you are sharing out podcast with your favorite people and maybe not so favorite people. Sit back and listen as Mark, Ken, Bryan, and Jeff tell you why a white dress can distract you from 20 minutes of dialogue.

In today's episode, I'm wrapping up the music for the indoors castle sections of the Rocketeer vs the Third Reich pixelart game I've been making.  Last week, I based the melody on the Jenny Theme from the Rocketeer soundtrack by James Horner and made a short segment (about 30 sec long), trying to make it sound both regal and ominous.  I think the theme in the film plays when Jenny is captured by Neville Sinclair, who is both Hollywood royalty and a secret Nazi spy, so that seems appropriate.  I think in that segment, she is taken to his Frank Llyod Wright style house after being drugged and wakes on his bed (I think after real life events mirroring such events have hit a little too close to home in recent years, Hollywood probably would not go there today, but this was 1991).  Nonetheless, I wanted to give the theme an ominous theme to play up the tension in the castle so besides the melody itself, also added some ambient castle noises to try to give you an idea you are in a large stone building.  More to come next week!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

The movie-to-comic path doesn't always work out, but IDW Publishing is quickly proving itself to be the place to run to with your adaptation. Their latest cinematic comic book sidequel, A Quiet Place: Storm Warning, features script and layouts by industry veteran Phil Hester and pencils and inks by Ryan Kelly. Hester comes from that Alex Toth/Harvey Kurtzman tradition, embracing visuals and having faith that silence can carry as much story as 200 word balloons. A Quiet Place stakes its narrative on silence. If you caught the first film in a theater, you undoubtedly remember the awkwardness of attempting popcorn consumption while Emily Blunt on screen quiveringly descends the basement stairs before OWWWWW! The nail in the foot! One may think removing audible sound from the equation would ruin the experience; however, Phil Hester did just that when he pitched his take to editors, adapting that scene specifically. The stairway nail bit, told as a comic by Phil Hester, proved undeniable. He got the gig, and then he got to work formulating his spin-off characters and plot. As the first film took inspiration from Steven Spielberg's Jaws, so does his arc, pitting a small town politician against the local fire chief. This time, they're also sister and brother, adding a dramatic sharpness that can only cut when family is involved. Of course, what does familial pride matter when creatures are raining from the sky? Phil Hester joins the podcast for the first time this week. We discuss the challenges of adapting a cinematic concept to the comic book page, how he always embraces silence, and why Jaws is just the best damn movie ever made. A Quiet Place: Storm Warning #1 arrives in comic book shops from IDW Publishing on March 11th. It's written by Phil Hester, illustrated by Ryan Kelly, colored by Lee Loughridge, lettered and designed by Nathan Widick, and edited by Heather Antos. Make sure you're following Phil Hester on Bluesky. This Week's Sponsors The Future is Calling! 2000 AD is the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, with new issues published every single week!

In today's episode, I'm discussing some updates I've made in this past week on the pixelart Rocketeer game that I started a number of years ago.  I took a break from the programming part to do some work on the art and music for the game.  The game starts with a short intro cut scene told in 1-2 pictures + text, like old NES games, so I made a intro montage picture showing Cliff's life after the events of the movie, implying he's still a pilot, the rocketpack was rebuilt, and his friends - Jenny and Peevy - are still his main motivators. Here is a short video showing some footage from last week discussed in last episode.  I successfully got the throwing physics to work, so now Cliff can toss grenades he finds.  He can also blow himself up that way, though, so you have to be careful.  I was thinking that if you do that, maybe the death scene will be Peevy calling Cliff a chowderhead or something.See the picture at https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2026/02/09/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-548-and-like-a-hood-ornament-91-updates-on-the-rocketeer-vs-the-third-reich-video-game-4/I also started working on the music for these intro levels.  Since they are inside a castle, I wanted there to be a different theme than the outdoor flying levels, like Super Mario Brothers.  I'm using a variation of the Jenny Theme from the Rocketeer soundtrack by James Horner for these levels so started working out the notes, the drums, and the tempo.  It's very rough at this point, but my hope it I can make a loopable bit that can play over and over during these levels.  More to come next week!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

El descomunal éxito del Batman de Tim Burton, precipitó un sinfín de adaptaciones cinematográficos de héroes pulp y de cómic en los años 90. En una época en el que el MCU no existía, las productoras buscaban su propio Indiana Jones u hombre murciélago y seleccionamos 4 ejemplos de películas que no cumplieron las expectativas creadas. Se nos une Borja Pérez (Lo tengo todo documentado). Dick Tracy es un personaje histórico del cómic que Warren Beatty convirtió en un proyecto tan personal como fallido, con los mejores profesionales y un reparto de primeras espadas completado por una ambiciosa Madonna. A pesar del fracaso de Dick Tracy, Disney dio luz verde a una adaptación de un desconocido personaje de cómic, creado por Dave Stevens. The Rocketeer no acabó de despegar a pesar de su mochila cohete. La Sombra es una influencia clara en Batman, así que adaptar al misterioso vigilante surgido de los seriales de radio parecía una elección correcta. Ni Alec Baldwin ni Russell Mulcahy supieron dar con la tecla. Y finalmente el héroe de las tiras de prensa The Phantom (El hombre enmascarado) contó con el guionista de La última cruzada y Joe Dante a la producción para una discreta producción con un Billy Zane que no era suficiente reclamo. Cuatro películas que merecen una revisión en unos tiempos en los que el cine de superhéroes era 100 % aventurero.

As far as mantras go, Street Sharks have one about as good as they come. They fight. They bite. They stand for everything right. You can read it on the opening page of each issue of the IDW Publishing series, and as we discuss with writer Stephanie Williams this week, given everything going on in the world, it's worth repeating every time you crack open the comic. Street Sharks may have begun as a cash grab in the wake of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' success. However, under Stephanie Williams' direction, in collaboration with artist Ariel Medel, the comic book series distinguishes itself by embracing the Bolton brothers' chill attitude amid abject horror. They're Supergirl to TMNT's Superman. They lived a life before their Krypton exploded. They know what they lost, they lived what they lost, and they still choose to direct their jawesome chompers toward villainy. It's pure superhero comics. You might be thinking, what the Big Slammu are you talking about? Well, you just have to dig into this week's episode to appreciate the comparison truly. We're getting deep with Street Sharks this podcast, discussing community, reluctant heroism, and mob mentality with Stephanie Williams. Two weeks ago, our co-host Lisa didn't know a thing about Street Sharks, but as of today, she's INVESTED. The first four issues of Street Sharks are now available from IDW Publishing. The fifth issue, concluding the first arc, swims into comic shops on February 18th. Street Sharks is written by Stephanie Williams, illustrated by Ariel Medel, colored by Valentina Pinto, and lettered by Jeff Eckleberry. Also, follow Stephanie Williams on Bluesky, Instagram, and her website.

In today's episode, I'm discussing some progress I've made on the Rocketeer game that I started a number of years ago.  I was learning to use the program before by making a one level demo game which ended up being the precursor to the story and card game of The Rocketeer vs the Third Reich.  But I'd always meant to get back to the actual video game.  In the past two weeks, I had to reacquaint myself to the program, Gdevelop5, and pickup where I left off a few years ago.  I discuss some of the design challenges and decisions I've been working through recently.  More details can be found in this youtube video:  https://youtu.be/0wvP29BKk-kOne thing I did in preparation was play replay the NES version of The Rocketeer - a very frustrating game made much better by using emulation, save states, cheat codes, and the developer's code, which gives you essentially infinite weapons and health as well as ready access to rocketfuel, which I always found in very short supply in the game.   Playing the game on God mode (which made it tolerable) essentially drive home two points - 1.) sometimes difficulty does not make a great game in that it may simply discourage play rather than motivate it, and 2.) you shouldn't overly limit something's best feature (in this case, flying - that should have been easier and more prominent in the game).  The cut scenes, however, were very well done, some of which you can see below: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2026/01/19/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-545-and-like-a-hood-ornament-88-updates-on-the-rocketeer-vs-the-third-reich-video-game-1/ More to come next week!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

The great Joe Johnston is one of our (especially PJ's) favorite directors. Making a pulpy, optimistic, and near perfect Captain America, we have fun talking this entry in the MCU #marvel #mcu #captainamerica #steverogers #chrisevans #joejohnston

We conclude the first week of the new year with a hysterical chat on crossovers/versus matches in fiction that should've been (but never were)!   Why didn't Tony Stark's dad & the Rocketeer team up in a steampunk adventure?   Should Jack Torrance & Patrick Bateman be in an axe fight match?   Why don't Jason Bourne & John Wick face-off?   Why are the Harlem Globe Trotters thrown into any encounter nowadays?   Would Dr. Katz & The Critic put up with each other's crap?   They should TOTALLY make a Godfather Vs. Scarface showdown but why didn't they?   All that and James & Oreo outlining the PERFECT Star Trek & Star Wars crossover concept!         SPEAKERS & GUESTS: Cam Sully, Daniel "Nightmare Nerd" Ryan, Oreo Brewer, The Pedator Minute trio (Cliff Stevenson, A-aron Landerville & Shane Kelley), James Bruno, Gil Palmer, Tom Lindaman & MIke Ensing     SONG INTRO: "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten

In today's episode, I wanted to continue what I was working on last week, trying to get resin to adhere to a base plastic figure to create an easier way to make custom action figure duplicates.  I will be experimenting with a number of methods to create snap on/ snap off molds to see what works best, but today, I'm using a kind of thermoplastic called Instamorph.  You heat the pellets in water, they become soft and squishy, allowing you to press something into it to make a mold, like I am doing here: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2025/12/29/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-542-and-like-a-hood-ornament-87-trying-a-new-technique-by-creating-a-new-rocketeer-figure-part-2-and-2025-reflection/When it cures, Instamorph turns white.  It is also very hard.  That can be a plus and a minus.  I did find that it was really hard to get the mold out since it didn't want to bend.  I really hard to yank on the limbs.  The torso, however, worked really well: The mold was supposed to apply on the Rocketeer's jacket bib with the buttons and a few other details, like the straps for the rocket pack on the sides and shoulders.  The torsos of these figures might be a different kind of plastic since it has different melting properties than the limbs (which I suspect are PVC), but the resin actually adhered just fine.  Getting the resin to release from the mold was difficult, but I wonder if I use some oil or some other kind of mold release, it might a different story.  I have some other mold putties to try in the coming weeks, so if this method ultimately does not work, perhaps other will.  I am also wondering if this kind of plastic can be used in place of epoxy clay.  It dries hard but could be shaped with heat ... something to think about.This project will continue into 2026, but 2025 has been a pretty good year.  I'll talk about this more next week, in the first episode of the new year, but some of the things that happened this year were:-great guests and new friends-the release of Once Upon a Dream on tape, CD, and digital streaming after many years-a fair bit of progress on The Thirteenth Hour sequel (about 70 pages)-episode 500 last March-started to learn how to use a DAW as another way to make music-Wrapping up the reading of The Rocketeer movie novelization (started 10/14/24, ended 7/7/25)Looking forward to seeing what we can do in 2026!  See you in the new year!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

Every year on Podcast Like It's the 2000s, Phil and Emily pick one Chaos Pick a movie that doesn't quite fit into any miniseries, but demands to be talked about anyway. This year's selection is Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, the ambitious 2004 pulp-sci-fi experiment that looked like the future of filmmaking… and then quietly disappeared.Joining the conversation is Emma Stefansky, here to passionately defend Kerry Conran's retro-futurist spectacle starring Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Angelina Jolie. The group digs into the film's groundbreaking all-digital production, its sepia-toned visual language, and why it feels like a volume-stage movie years before volume stages became standard. They also explore how Sky Captain fits into a lineage of stylized adventure films like Dick Tracy and The Rocketeer, and why audiences often remember how the movie looked more than what actually happens in it.Along the way, they discuss Roger Ebert's glowing four-star review, the film's middling box office and critical afterlife, the risks of resurrecting actors digitally, and whether Sky Captain is a misunderstood cult object or simply a fascinating near-miss. It's a conversation about ambition, technology, and the strange movies that briefly convince us we're looking at the future right before the future changes again. Hosted on Acast.

In today's episode, I wanted to try something that, frankly, may not work.  I wanted to try using a basic figure as the "skeleton" and casting details onto the body instead of sculpting them out of epoxy clay or some other substance.  This would allow you do get a figure off the shelf and essentially "plug" it into the molds for the limbs are such and emerge with a "newly clothed" figure.  I don't know if it will work since I'm not sure how well the resin will adhere to the skeleton.   That said, I figured it's worth a try and am making the prototype today from an Iron Man figure and helmet, chest, and pack of the figure I was working on last time.  Next time, I'll see how I can make new molds or adapt the ones I already have. Picture of the prototype so far: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2025/12/22/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-541-and-like-a-hood-ornament-86-trying-a-new-technique-by-creating-a-new-rocketeer-figure-part-1/∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

In today's episode, I'm continuing what I started in episode 536 - where I wanted to turn a Rocketeer figurine that I found on eBay in to an articulated action figure.  But in the episode, the silicone I had gotten turned out to be bad, so I had to get some more in order to make a mold.  In the past two weeks, I bought a new kind of silicone (Smooth On Mold Star 30) as well as a new kind of resin to try (Smooth Cast 57D).  I was successful in making molds of the parts of the figurine.  It wasn't the most efficient use of silicone, I will say, since I probably could have found containers that were a bit smaller and wasted less, but if I don't use these molds in the future, I'll chop them up and use them as filler when making future molds.  Here are the two pieces:This is the lower body mold.This mess is the upper body mold; you may be able to see both sides of the figurine in relief on ether side.This is what it looks like when you are taking the casting out.  You can see here (my first attempt) that one arm didn't quite fill.  That happens sometimes if you don't quite have the air vents in the right places.Pictures at https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2025/12/01/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-538-and-like-a-hood-ornament-84-continuing-a-rocketeer-resin-casting-project-making-the-prototype/⁠I was also curious to see if the resin I was using could be heated up with a heat gun to further bend the pieces.  Yes, the resin did get soft, but it ended up just breaking.  I did use a woodcarving tool to cut the limbs up further (never a bad idea to wear some eye protection and a N95 or equivalent mask when dealing with hot plastic) and then used epoxy resin (what I normally use to add details on custom figures) to meld the limbs back together in a new position.Here, I have the parts of the figure with newly formed arms and legs next to the original:I just need to clean up the dried epoxy resin, probably with a Dremel, and then figure out how to make joint pegs for the limbs and neck.  Then, I'll make one last mold of all the parts - 4 limbs, torso, head, and rocketpack so I can make resin copies of all the pieces.  That's what's to come in the next few weeks.If you haven't heard them yet, check out the conversations with Andy Last of the Beyond Synth podcast and Richie Billing, author of Together We Rise. Check out my interview on the Planet Texas Podcast, where we touch on toymaking - find it on Youtube.   Thanks, Javier, for having me on!I was also on Let's Talk Media with Vedant Akhauri for another fun conversation.  Check out the episode on Spotify.  Thanks, Vedant, for having me on!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?
