A New Era

MAY I SUGGEST...?

Dan said to Travis, “May I Suggest… you watchticate a television biographically-oriented docu-special called Mel Brooks: Make A Noise?” – and Dan gives his thoughts.

For Dan's next recommendation, Dan suggested Travis check out the comedian/musician/crazy genius madman person Reggie Watts.

Stay tuned for the next "May I Suggest...?" when Dan reviews Travis's selection, the podcast "The Fighter and the Kid".

Welcome to the Dinette! If you have listened to the show for sometime, we would love to have you leave feedback on iTunes. We know not all of you use iTunes, but for those that do, it helps us become more visible. If you don’t use iTunes, your feedback is still valuable. Visit our webpage at http://scifidinerpodcast.com and leave a comment on the show notes or email us at scifidinerpodcast@gmail.com We want to know what you are thinking about what we are saying and what shows you are watching. It’s been awhile since I sat with some friends, had a bite to eat and talked about all the nerdy stuff we love. In this episode of SFDP, that’s exactly what I did.  Two of my dear friends joined me at Game On Comics in Vienna, VA, for a lovely Sunday chat about comics, from books to tv shows to movies, inspired by the Brian Prowse-Gany article “Rise of the Female Superhero” published on Yahoo last week. This was made even richer with the video narrated by Katie Couric. So grab a pal, make a snack and have a listen.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO GAME ON COMICS!! They are an amazing local comic shop that I love and love to support, so if you are in the Northern Virginia Area, please check out! They have games and cards and book and wonderful staff who are always ready to help. Check out their blog, like them on Facebook!! BTW: Which lady superhero would you like to see get her own movie and who would you pick to direct? Drop us a line and let us know!

The collapse of civilization is just beginning in FEAR THE WALKING DEAD, and it’s up to Arnold and Scott to make it through all that Los Angeles traffic to…oh wait, the traffic is gone. That was easy. Anyway, join them as they take a look at the second installment of the all-new prequel spinoff from THE WALKING DEAD! Also, some news from Arnold’s University of Baltimore “Media Genres: Zombies” class, currently running this Fall semester, letters from listeners, and more!

Show Music: “Bitter Pill” (feat. Vosmoy) by Still Pluto.

This week we present two episodes centering on possibly the most popular radio contest of the 1940s, “The Walking Man.” TWM was a contest to benefit The American Heart Association and took place on the radio show Truth or Consequences.  For eight weeks, along with the usual game show shenanigans, listeners were invited to guess the identity of a prominent figure based solely on a rhymed clue and the sound of his walking.  Spoilers:  It was Jack Benny.  Here is the episode of TOC where a listener correctly guesses Benny.  Check out the haul of prizes that had accumulated over the preceding weeks.  Next listen to the episode of The Jack Benny Program which was broadcast less than 24 hours later.  It had had to be almost entirely rewritten overnight because not even Jack’s wife, let alone his writers, knew in advance that he was The Walking Man.
