    Calling a Recess

    I was working on the episode and I just... couldn't get a sentence together. My editor suggested I take a break so I will. I also will come back. I love this.

    Docket 28 - Batman Returns (and it's effect on Super hero movies)

    sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nUSIcgva2p_MNaZ9kn7OYe6z0yA-VuuBjjK6FGZnzR4/edit?usp=sharing Also no, seriously, I was down and out for a WHILE. My voice still isn't quite right. So my apologies on either weird sounds or thoughts not completely tracking. My editor really liked this more vibe based analysis, but next time should be one with more support. I just saw Batman Returns for the first time last year. A theater put it on as a Christmas movie. I admit it didn't QUITE land for me, but it was enjoyable.

    Docket 27 - 2025 Public Domain Day

    Since the time of recording and the time of posting, Poe managed to jump into my second Which just... thank you Alan Wake crew. I hope you come back to see how much Alan Wake I can cram into this over all. But yes, Public Domain Day has returned! I love it, I love seeing what else we can get, and I can't wait until more comes. In the mean time, enjoy early Tin Tin and go check out Project Gutenberg.

    Docket 26 - Poe

    Hello everyone! Something a bit fun before we go into Holidays. Next episode is the Public Domain Day episode! Unfortunately most of the early info is not online. I did end up emailing the LA Public Library Archives for information and may update the sources if I get info. Speaking of: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qTyY4pmMmskTsPT4tTagp3vt_Vqb-88Is00o4b-7Msc/edit?usp=sharing So, one full year finished. Thank you for sticking with me. I've enjoyed my work here.

    Docket 25 - James Bond and Kevin McClory

    Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hm9EtP2Am_2nLRm4bdQiDRz8T3pF5OAKyNEryH_pwik/edit?usp=sharing I was alerted to this story over on Blue Sky and I'm so glad I was. This was a lot of fun to dig into, especially as a lot of it was stuffy I had vaguely heard only as "legal troubles" But as I had never really watched James Bond I kind of forgot. A lot of this research comes from a book called "Battle for Bond" that... I genuinely could not find. It was incredibly out of print, the nearest library that had it was over 500 miles away, I couldn't find it on Archive.org nothing. There was some other legal trouble in that, but it was not as relevant to this script. Also, speaking of Blue Sky, yeah my outtro is out of date due to... everything. I'll update it in the new year and the 2025 Public Domain Day episode.

    Docket 24 - ESRB

    Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vdxg1iVkChMYAEKbhCZBFlYAKSLdCI_a-Ge4HvqU97g/edit?usp=sharing And I had fun doing this! The ESRB creation and it's after effects is interesting and it's absolutely fascinating to compare it to the Movies Ratings Board. I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!

    Docket 22 Scream and the Ghostface Mask

    Happy Halloween everyone! Enjoy this Spooky Episode before you go off and watch Scream! Also, we are nearing our 1 year anniversary! If you haven't left a review before, now would be a good time. I've only seen Scream1 but it was a really good movie. https://docs.google.com/document/d/19OZfW-VwM-7Psip6qQJOAX9W79dWZoQxJaZ4SWoNqOU/edit?usp=sharing
