Podcasts about rondo hatton awards

On April 7th, the Damn Dirty Geeks recorded our first live audience podcast episode at Eliot Brodsky's fantastic annual convention, Monsterpalooza, in Pasadena -- an entire weekend filled with guest appearances, star-studded stage panels and the top monster artists in the business. We launched the event with our live podcast recording with two special guests: actor/writer/director/puppet creator Kirk R. Thatcher and co-creator of The Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards, writer David Colton. Get ready for a rip-roaring, fun hour-plus as Kirk takes us on a whirlwind tour of his career, from working in the creature shops of RETURN OF THE JEDI and GREMLINS, to playing the annoying punk opposite Kirk and Spock in STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME, to writer of MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND and director of JIM HENSON'S TURKEY HOLLOW. Kirk is a barrel of laughs and has a hilarious gift in telling stories about working with George Lucas, Jim Henson, Leonard Nimoy and many other talented collaborators on Thatcher's many creative projects. David Colton, a journalist and executive editor for USA Today, is a lifelong fan and supporter of horror films and founder of the Classic Horror Film Boards who coined the term Monster Kid to celebrate the generation of fans who grew up watching and loving horror and monster films. David also runs the Rondo Hatton Awards, an annual fan-voted presentation nominating the best and most talented writers, journalists, artists, filmmakers and Hall of Fame inductees who preserve and perpetuate horror, sci-fi and genre entertainment in all forms. Members of the CHFB and participants in the Rondo Awards extend the continuum of classic monster films like the original DRACULA and FRANKENSTEIN though 1950s sci-fi classics, the explosion of iconic horror film characters in the 1970s and '80s, up through today's horror renaissance with THE WALKING DEAD and beyond. Enjoy the energy of this live audience podcast episode in which the Damn Dirty Geeks and our guests chat and laugh off-the-cuff on stage at Monsterpalooza. Even so, we barely scratched the surface of discussion with both Kirk and David, and hope very much to have both back on our show as guests again soon to continue the fun. Special thanks to our sound engineer Brice Cranston for his extra efforts making this live recording run so smoothly, and to friend of the show Eric Kurland of 3-D Space for letting us share his convention theater to record this episode. And don't forget to listen to this episode with your glasses on as we recorded the show in 3-D! For more photos and full show notes/links, visit our website at DamnDirtyGeeks.com

Twas the Thursday before HorrorHound Weekend, and all through the . . . um . . . podcast . . . ?  Whatever . . . This is Episode 159 of Mail Order Zombie, and this week, Brother D gets back to business and reviews the movies Zombie Honeymoon (dir. David Gebroe) and See the Dead (dir. Robert W. Filion).  Need-a-Nickname Scott is on vacation this week, so Brother D also tackles the regular round-up of zombie news in the Zombie Beat, but before Scott took off, he sent in a review of the novel The Infection by Craig DiLouie.  Miss Bren helps D tackle nearly a month's worth of emails and voicemails in the Feedback Discussion (the Discussion was kicked off with a call-in report from the recent Monster Mania Con, courtesy of Zombart!).Email us at MailOrderZombie@gmail.com or call us at 206-202-2505!Palavr.com Forums - http://palavr.com/forum.php/Rondo Hatton Awards - http://rondoaward.com/rondo/rondos.htmlSee the Dead - http://vimeo.com/3274678See the Dead (high definition) - http://www.vimeo.com/1737661Zombie Honeymoon - http://www.zombiehoneymoon.com/Resident Evil 5 release date? - http://www.moviesonline.ca/2011/03/resident-evil-5-release-date/Resident Evil 5 has a release date - http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=18305Charlie Sheen in The Walking Dead? - http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/walking-dead-creator-begs-charlie-164745The Walking Dead panel at C2E2 - http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=31412Stephen King writing The Walking Dead? - http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/03/21/stephen-king-walking-dead-amc/Meredith Hagner cast in Awakening - http://www.deadline.com/2011/03/emily-vancamp-gets-the-lead-in-abcs-revenge-other-pilot-castings/Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides zombie concept art - http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=75120Russell off Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Grahame-Smith on? - http://www.tgdaily.com/entertainment/54748-pride-and-prejudice-and-zombies-loses-director-may-hire-authorDeadliest Warrior: Vampires vs. Zombies - http://www.spike.com/video-clips/n5heay/deadliest-warrior-the-deadliest-warrior-pits-vampires-vs-zombiesxbox7752 Deadliest Warrior response - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUKOpPNEkc4lions4life2 Deadliest Warrior repsonse - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AMFCpRgF5wOutpost: Black Sun begins production - http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/43226/outpost-black-sun-begins-productionHumans Versus Zombies - http://www.hvzthemovie.com/Humans Versus Zombies on Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/HVZMOVIEFlesh of my Flesh production diary - http://www.fleshofmyflesh.com/PDiary/Guerilla Productions - http://www.guerrilla-productions.org/Toned down Dead Island logo - http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/108651-Dead-Island-Publisher-Tones-Down-Logo-for-North-AmericaESRB on Dead Island logo change - http://gamerfront.net/2011/03/dead-island-logo-too-much-for-north-america/7060Zombie defense course in Pittsburgh - http://dormont-brookline.patch.com/articles/back-off-zombie-brookline-business-teaches-zombie-defense#cZomburgh - http://www.zomburgh.com/World War Z in trouble - http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/03/world_war_z_brad_pitt.htmlThe Undead That Saved Christmas Vol. 2 open submissions - http://www.undeadinthehead.com/p/call-for-submissions.html(Various production music produced by Kevin MacLeod.)

Finally!  After months of mentioning it on the show, Miss Bren and Brother D sit down to discuss the BBC series Survivors (2008-2010).  When they started recording this segment, their intention was to include this discussion in Mail Order Zombie #156, but because they talked about the series for over an hour, it's become it's own episode.  (Before the discussion, Brother D does share a bit of news regarding Mail Order Zombie.)
