    Annnnnnnnnnd we're back! For episode 2 of our new reboot: Matinee! And we're joined by another series regular - Phil Oxnard! Feeling bold, Phil O. decided against bringing his own genre to the table and the episode is evidence of how that went!

    AND WE'REEEEEEEE BACK!
    It's been awhile Brigaders (that's what our rabid horde of listeners is called. I checked with them). A lot has happened in the last year and the STORY BRIGADE has made some changes. It's rebooting as STORY BRIGADE: MATINEE. What does that mean for the show? Well, my sister, Mari has decided to step back from co-hosting and will be guesting in episodes going forward. Which means that each episode of Matinee will feature a new guest! Can't wait to introduce you to all these cool folks!
    Our first guest is our most devoted fan - Phil McCabe - known in infamy for the Star Wars Special episode (go listen to it). And he decided to be cheeky by having the first episode of our franchise reboot of Story Brigade be about... franchise reboots... Enjoy.

    "4:10 to Albuquerque" (NOT BLAZING SADDLES - we already thought of that)

    Enjoy this wild and weird ride as Connor and I record nearly our shortest episode yet. After all this time away it took a little bit to... get back in the saddle (I'll be here all week).

    Some links to enjoy!

    "City of Steam"

    Woooooooooo it's been awhile!!! As we explain in the episode, Connor and I have been all over the place in the last couple of months which has kept us from making new episodes. You'll also probably notice that we're a little rusty this time around (which works great because... you know... steampunk... rusty... haha).

    Here are some links to check out!

    "Old Glass"

    I know we say this all the time, but this is my favorite! Connor and I just wanted to take a couple of minutes and see what we could make and we put together a really, really cool film in half our normal time! So enjoy this fun-sized episode of the Story Brigade!

    And go check out some John Carpenter films!

    "Train Monsters"

    Before you ask, no, we're not going to be doing three spins for every episode this season. I just got over excited about Cinerama as a spin that I didn't fully appreciate how it's really not a genre. But if you want to learn more about it, take a listen to this episode! I spend ten minutes diving into the history of it and boy, is it fascinating! And check out this episode if you want a real understanding of how we could possibly get to such a cool name as "Train Monsters".

    And go watch HOW THE WEST WAS WON (1962)

    And remember, no talking during the movie.
