POPULARITY
This week's movie was doomed before it was ever released. Not necessarily because of its subject matter, plot, or execution, but rather because a big film studio somehow lost its nerve and led this fun movie to become one of the worst box office bombs of the last two decades. John Carter is rated PG-13 and was released on February 22, 2012 The movie features Taylor Kitsch as John Carter, Lynn Collins as Deja's Thoris, Willem Defoe as Tars Tarkas, and Mark Strong as Matai Shang. Hosts: Daniel Levain, Ian Sweetman and Eric Sweetman. Subscribe thru: Apple Podcast Google Podcast Spotify
Kris & David are joined by Vera Thoris (@StillYourGhost) to discuss the week-plus that was August 25th-September 3rd, 1997, which was Vera's pick using the $50 tier on our Patreon (linked below the description). Vera was able to sit in on the WCW section, where we talked about the Arn Anderson retirement saga, as we covered both relevant episodes of Nitro, which featured Arn's retirement speech and the nWo parody of it a week later. This was definitely an explosive time for WCW, both on TV and behind the scenes, so you definitely don't want to miss that. We also talk about Akira Maeda making a shocking appearance in New Japan to congratulate Riki Choshu on his "retirement,” plus Kensuke Sasaki winning the IWGP Heavyweight Title for the first time on the same show. We also talk about a wild meeting between Eric Bischoff, Konnan, & Paco Alonso that caused all kinds of hell in Mexico thanks to Victor Quinones, the final live USWA TV show on WMC, and, of course, the WWF, featuring a rare Friday night show during the U.S. Open, which was branded as Friday Night's Main Event, and so much more.

This is an audiobook of The Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, narrated by Mark Nelson. It is the third book in the Barsoom series. Written as a frame narrative, it begins as the others do with Burroughs (the author) explaining how he came to be in possession of the story in the first place. Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium and wife of John Carter, is captured and imprisoned in the Temple of the Sun, in a revolving room whose entrance is only accessible once a year. She shares her cell with Thuvia of Ptarth, another Barsoomian princess, as well as Phaidor, the daughter of a priest. The three are rescued by antagonistic figures, one of whom decides to take Thoris in order to spite Carter. Carter pursues them, bent on rescuing his wife.

Kris & David are joined by Between The Sheets Patreon patron Vera Thoris (@StillYourGhost) to discuss the week that was February 26-March 3, 1997, which Vera picked when pledging $100. We discuss what was really going on with Shawn Michaels losing his smile and how the Torch was right on the money with the story. We also talk about a weird but memorable Raw in Berlin, Germany featuring Owen Hart vs. Davey Boy Smith, reactions to Ken Shamrock signing with the WWF, Joe Higuchi retiring from All Japan, Fake Diesel & Fake Razor Ramon being a part of a nWo knockoff in AAA, what the real story with ECW/WWF relationship was—at least according to Paul Heyman, and Brakkus debuting in Memphis, and more, but the real main event is the reason Vera picked this week: Roddy Piper recruiting his “family” in an infamous angle on a crazy Nitro at The Omni in Atlanta that Kris was at live.

Above me shone the red eye of Mars holding her awful secret, forty-eight million miles away.
I traveled with awful velocity for my errand was a race against time with death.
A wild cry of exultation arose from the Heliumite squadron, and with redoubled ferocity they fell upon the Zodangan fleet.
"Zodanga has fallen," I cried. "Look!"
I fell beside a huge monster who was engaged with three antagonists, and as I glanced at his fierce face, filled with the light of battle, I recognized him ...
As I sped through the air the screeching of the bullets around me convinced me that only by a miracle could I escape ...
"Too late, too late," she grieved. "O my chieftain that was, and whom I thought dead, had you but returned one little hour before--but now it is too late, too late."
Driving my fleet air craft at high speed directly behind the warriors, I soon overtook them ...
"And so good-night, my friend," he continued, "may you have a long and restful sleep--yes, a long sleep."
As the brutes, growling and foaming, rushed upon the almost defenseless women I turned my head that I might not see the horrid sight.
He had all the cold, hard, cruel, terrible features of the green warriors, but accentuated and debased by the animal passions to which he had given himself over for many years.
Laughing and chattering like the idiot I was fast becoming I fell upon his prostrate form my fingers feeling for his dead throat.
"Have none of me if it is your will, but that you must aid me in effecting your escape, if such a thing be possible, is not my request, but my command."
"I know that I can trust you, and because the knowledge may someday help you or him or Dejah Thoris or myself, I am going to tell you the name of my father ..."
He was soon streaming blood from a half dozen minor wounds, but I could not obtain an opening to deliver an effective thrust.
As my arm rested for an instant upon her I felt a thrill pass through every fiber of my being such as contact with no other mortal had even produced ...
"You are a prisoner and yet you give commands which must be obeyed; you are an alien and yet you are a Tharkian chieftain."
"I am of another world," I answered, "the great planet Earth, which revolves about our common sun and next within the orbit of your Barsoom, which we know as Mars."
...I saw the blow aimed at her beautiful, upturned, pleading face, and ere the hand descended I was halfway across the hall.
"Say what you please to Tars Tarkas, he can mete out no worse fate to me than a continuation of the horrible existence we are forced to lead in this life."
The great warship ... soared majestically into the air, her decks and upper works a mass of roaring flames.
Sola's duties were now doubled, as she was compelled to care for the young Martian, as well as for me.
Scarcely had the blow descended when I was confronted with a new danger.
He wheeled instantly and charged me with the most appalling speed I had ever beheld.
I swung my fist squarely to his jaw and he went down like a felled ox.
I opened my eyes upon a strange and weird landscape.
I closed my eyes, stretched out my arms to the god of my vocation ...
I am a very old man; how old I do not know.
In submitting Captain Carter's strange manuscript to you in book form, I believe that a few words ... would be of interest.
