Eventually, I’ve got to do a podcast like this. I clean out my show prep file and just find all the little scraps of stuff I wanted to talk about, but it slipped my mind. Then, when I’m stuck for what to talk about, i just grab all those forgotten scraps. So what scraps make up Episode 8.11: Titles Are Hard?
- I saw the Roger Ebert documentary Life Itself on Netflix, and share my reminiscings about Mr. Ebert.
- Sighting View-Master reels for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in a museum leads to ranting about the history of View-Master
- Telling the tale of the Justice League movie we almost got from the director of Mad Max
- How all those videos games that have the action figure tie-ins (i.e. Disney Infinity) are really starting to tickle my fancy
Plus, I once again recount the tale of how I made my best friend. I’ve blogged about it, but I felt like telling it once again.
An additional detail: the Webmaster of the website that was selling NRG2 – TRANSFORMED, the album of songs by NRG including “Instruments of Destruction” from The Transformers: The Movie (1986) soundtrack, was none other than NRG lead guitarist Ernie Petrangelo! He personalized the albums for us, too.
