Dear Diary, First Night Here - Week of 10/7/20

The Fellowship is pleased to present this year's Horror Month, in which we're discussing films starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Week 1 starts us off with a pair of Dracula movies, Horror of Dracula (1958) and Dracula AD 1972 (1972). We discuss the overall feel of Hammer horror films, the sense of teamwork between Lee and Cushing, how the Dracula story has evolved over time, and a bunch of stuff in between. Plus our usual tangents galore and our comics picks of the week.

 

Announcements:

Come hang out with us! We may have finally come up with an alternative to our monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays in Garland, TX; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website

We're super excited to announce our partnership with ComicBooks For Kids. Details on the website (and you should be listening to hear more, too 🙂)

 

What we're up to this week:

Purging the collection (and catching a bug), still editing podcasts (almost there), almost caught up on October movies, Unknown Origins (2020, subtitled), Utopia (the 2020 remake), working on Fellowship stuff, watching stuff on Vaughn.Live, specifically "the Webb-verse" (Jack Webb), Harry Morgan stories
