It's science fiction to make you think. It's The 27th Day (dir. William Asher). Scott Morris stuck around from his appearance on the podcast last week to discuss a particular favorite sci-fi film with Derek. And to honor the co-host of Disney, Indiana, Kenny brings us a special Look at Famous Monsters of Filmland segment.

Derek is joined by the head mouse wranglers at Disney, Indiana, Tracey and Scott Morris, to discuss a movie from 1994 - Ed Wood (dir. Tim Burton). Yes, we realize that historically, it's not very accurate. And, yes, we know it plays fast and loose with the portrayals of some of our monster kid heroes. But, yes, we still love the movie.

When he's not maintaining the New York City Giant Monster Attack Map (http://foxtrotstudios.net/html/nycgmam.html), or creating his award-winning short films (http://foxtrotstudios.net/), Mark Bailey is learning all that he can about Ed Wood. In this never-before-heard conversation from the heyday of the Plan 9 By Podcast, Mark and Derek discuss whether or not Wood really was the "worst director of all time," as well as the merits of the so-called "bad movies" of the world.

Derek returns to his zombie roots when he and Go Forth and Game's Tom Gurganus go looking for diamonds while avoiding the Zombies of Mora Tau (dir. Edward L. Cahn). Oh, let's be honest. Derek would go running TOWARD the zombies! But before he does anything foolish, he introduces Mark Matzke's Beta Capsule Review, Kenny's Look at Famous Monsters of Filmland . . . and a new segment - Atomic Tales: Stories of Science, Mystery, and Excitement from Stephen D. Sullivan and Saint Euphoria.
info_outlineThis week begins a truly epic Kong-versation with returning guest Paul McComas. It will only take you a few minutes into the conversation to realize Paul really enjoys the 1976 King Kong (dir. John Guillermin), but all three versions of King Kong will get their due as well. It wasn't planned this way, but since Derek and Paul had such a great, in-depth conversation, this is only Part One of their exploration of the films.
