This week we are stranding ourselves in a snowy mountain cabin and trying to babysit while we discuss “Scary Monsters”! We're talking Scully's zombie horde of a class and how all she wants is just to eat her sandwich, the return of Leyla, the importance of checking your Blood Car Fax report, find out the fate of Mulder's fish, criticize the verisimilitude of the snow, and enjoy Doggett's continuing beef with kids. We wonder what the mysterious grandma is up to this whole time, get indignant on behalf of Doggett and Reyes, realize that Leyla has authority-less babysitter energy, introduce the Theme Beam, and note that Doggett has no imagination and he's cool with that. We're cooking up a nice Sheriff Soup, so come on down if you're hungry!Send us an email at scullynationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Instagram!

China now seems to be under disease protocol as they have brought back masks and social distancing because of a strange pneumonia that is spreading throughout the country. A Beijing children's hospital told state media CCTV that at least 7,000 patients were being admitted daily to the institution, exceeding capacity. Commentators have already highlighted how the wave of sickness was eerily similar to the reports that emerged just prior to COVID, which China was accused of covering up. Be prepared: If any of these diseases cross the pond this holiday season with all of the travel going on, it will again be a Dark Winter.

Tom stopped by to talk about his new book, Ryan's Hope: An Oral History of Daytime's Groundbreaking Soap.The book is out now and is a definitive look at the popular serial from the people who made it so beloved and how it made its way into millions of households through a combination of compelling storylines, incredible publicity, a slew of younger viewers who became loyal fans, and daytime star power that made it so innovative during the Golden Age of Daytime Soap Operas.Joining Tom to discuss the book and their experience working on this beloved soap are Christopher Durham and Ilene Kristen.Tom is an award-winning author of eleven books about the ‘60's and 70's film and television.

Aaron's Audio Edibles Vol. 12 is "Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)" with the Smoking Cobras! By 1981, David Bowie had reinvented himself a couple of times already when he wrote and recorded one of the more inventive albums of the 1980's. Along with the title track, all time classics like "Ashes to Ashes", "Fashion" and "It's no Game (Parts 1 and 2)", the record blends the distinctive vocal style of Bowie with the virtusic musicianship of bandmates like Robert Fripp. It is one of the favorite albums of Dean Simone, lead singer and guitarist for the Los Angeles cover band "The Smoking Cobras". Dean, fresh off a turn on HBO's "Winning Time" that saw him portraying sports journalist Jim MUrry, brought his entire band with im to discuss why this is such an important album to them all. #WinningTimeHBO #DavidBowie #ScaryMonstersandSuperCreeps #RobertFripp #HBOMax #SmokinCobras #AshestoAshes #Fashion YUH Theme by David T and Mojo 3 https://www.amazon.com/Insanity-Sobriety-Blues-David-Mojo3/dp/B091N8BJNB Watch Winning Time online with HBO Max https://www.hbo.com/winning-time-the-rise-of-the-lakers-dynasty Gameday on amazon Prime https://www.amazon.com/Game-Day-Dean-Simone/dp/B09LVRFLXX Dean Simone on IMDB https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=dean+simone+winning+time&qpvt=Dean+Simone+Winning+Time&form=IGRE&first=1&tsc=ImageHoverTitle The Smokin' Cobras https://www.thesmokincobras.com/ Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) by David Bowie on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/5fxvWHvIDPIALfTfRiwyB0?si=6JUbZA6vTTWjeRN1RsEFSQ Track List It's No Game (Part 1} Up The Hill Backwards Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) Ashes to AShes Fashion Teenage Wildlife Scream Like a Baby Kingdom Come Because You're Young It's No Game (Part 2) Banger of the Album: Ashes to Ashes Yeah Uh Huh Social Stuff: Yeah Uh Huh on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@yeahuhhuhpod Yeah Uh Huh on Facebook https://facebook.com/YeahUhHuhPod Yeah Uh Huh on Twitter https://twitter.com/YeahUhHuhPod Yeah Uh Huh on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/7pS9l716ljEQLeMMxwihoS?si=27bd15fb26ed46aa Yeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yeah-uh-huh/id1565097611 Yeah Uh Huh Website: https://yeah-uh-huh.wixsite.com/yeahuhhuhpod --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yeah-uh-huh/message

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we discuss the themes from 2001: A Space Odyssey. The best science-fiction awakens our sense of wonder, and this movie reveals our desire to be awed. We find a longing deep within to discover something transcendent which is in constant tension with our yearning for a place to find home. In God, we find a person who is beyond anything that we can comprehend, who also draws us into an intimate relationship with Him. Join us as we discover God's truth in this movie. About Mike Years ago, Mike Bogue suffered a sledgehammer blow to the cranium and survived, a testament – some say – to his hard head. A Jerry Jenkins' Your Novel Blueprint graduate, Mike wrote the acclaimed Apocalypse Then: American and Japanese Atomic Cinema: 1951-1967, which received an NPR endorsement. Magazines he's written for include Movie Milestones, Wonder, G-FAN, and Scary Monsters. He'll soon shop The Perfects, his first Christian science fiction book, to agents and publishers. Single, sixtysomething, and retired, Mike lives with his cat Bendi in Western Arkansas. Questions How are you the master of your technology? How are you a slave to your technology? How can technology be a tool? Weapon? What determines the difference? How do you respond when God shows up in your life? When has God appeared, like the monolith in the movie? What changed? How is God transcendent, unknowable, above all, beyond comprehension? How is God approachable, intimate, loving, “Daddy?” How do you deal with the tension between the two aspects of God? Digging Deeper In what ways can we draw parallels between the monolith in the film and the pivotal moments or experiences that shape our own understanding of the world and ourselves? How does the film's portrayal of artificial intelligence and the existential questions it raises about human consciousness and identity apply to our reliance on technology in today's society? How does the film's visual representation of isolation and solitude in the vastness of space reflect our own experiences with loneliness and the search for meaning in our lives? In what ways does the film's meditative and introspective nature encourage us to reflect upon our own existence and purpose in the grand scheme of the universe? How can we interpret the film's ambiguous and enigmatic ending in relation to the uncertainties and mysteries that we encounter in our own lives, and the need to embrace the unknown?

Baxie talks to bass legend George Murray. From 1976 to 1980 George played with David Bowie during one of the revered periods of his career. He, along with the late Dennis Davis and Carlos Alomar made up the "D.A.M" rhythm section for Station to Station, The Berlin Trilogy (including Low, Heroes, and The Lodger), as well as on Scary Monsters. He also played on Iggy Pop's first solo album, The Idiot as well. This is an incredibly special talent who rarely grants interviews (until now!). Just awesome! Listen on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and on the Rock102 website! (Note: George Murray will be appearing at the David Bowie World Fan Convention in New York in June.)

After a long wait, Dark Horse Comics's The High Republic Adventures: The Nameless Terror #2 (of 4) returns, and what transpires is a wonderful melange of Alien, Star Wars and cosmic horror as our High Republic-era Jedi deal with nasties that go knock in the night (and day). It's a long issues, at 34 pages, and captures a perfect balance between suspense, cosmic horror and space fantasy.Marvel's Sana Starros #3 (of 5) is a splendid bridging issue that pitches the Starros family's quest into high gear, while at the same time paying homage to the sights and sounds and events of the first phase of The High Republic era, too. Come for Sana's outrage, stay for Deva Lompop's machinations and revel in the reveal of Phel's less-than-honorable intentions.Finally, Jody Houser's three-issue arc, accompanied by artist Luke Ross, comes to a well-paced conclusion in the pages of Yoda #6 (of 10), and readers are afforded a side of Yoda who is well aware of the dark side and its insidiousness, while acknowledging that the light side cannot exist without it.

Sam desperately tries to get through the blocked passage while the Orc captains — oblivious that their eaves are being dropped — continue complaining about their bosses (side note: we're seriously creeped out by the fact that the Nazgûl actually give Orc officers the creeps). But when one of the captains reveals some new information, Sam suddenly realizes that getting to Frodo is more urgent than he thought. All this, plus Orc dialogue delivered with increasingly sore throats, a long sidebar on the moral code of Orcs, and an excerpt from our recent interview on the Rings of Power Wrap-up podcast with dialect coach Leith McPherson.

This week, we're pulling two sorta-topical stories from the Patreon vault. First up, Stacie brings the debut installment of "Trashy Justice" from back in September 2020 with the story of perhaps the worst Supreme Court justice in the nation's history, James Clark McReynolds. Then, Alicia has a fascinating and frightening charismatic Russian influencer of an earlier era, Grigori Rasputin, from her "Trashy Romanovs" series earlier this year. Sponsors BEING Trans.

“Station Eleven” by Emily St. John Mandel was published in 2014. That book imagined the world after a pandemic had wiped out, well, almost everyone. It's a gorgeous novel with a particular emotional power: it helps you grieve a life you still have. But then came a real pandemic, not as lethal as the one Mandel imagined, but a shock nonetheless. And “Station Eleven” — already a beloved international best seller — found a second life. Mandel became known as a pandemic prophet. “Station Eleven” became an acclaimed HBO Max series.“Sea of Tranquility” by Mandel is written from within the hothouse of that strange kind of celebrity. The author put a version of herself in there, struggling with fame and parenthood and quarantine and too much travel. But there are also moon colonies, and time travel, and hints that we live in a computer simulation. If “Station Eleven” explores how calamity could change the world, “Sea of Tranquility” wonders what happens if it doesn't.This conversation begins in the weirdness of the simulation hypothesis, but winds its way to much more fundamental questions of being human right now. There is so much we could lose, so much we already have lost; why is it so hard to live with the gratitude our lives should inspire, or the seriousness the moment demands?Mentioned:“The Power of Patience” by Jennifer L.
