Giggity giggity

All Alone in the Night S2E11 (15 Feb 95) vs. Heart of Stone S2E14 (6 Feb 95)-The Shadows ate our episode on GROPOS vs. Life Support. Sorry folks! Thankfully they weren’t very good episodes-Matt got Fire in the Sky (1993) vibes off Sheridan’s abduction-We both get big Twin Peaks vibes off Sheridan’s vision-We both love James Ellroy’s LA cop novels. Bob also loves Walter Mosley’s LA & James Sallis’s New Orleans PI novels

Coming of Shadows S2E9 (1 Feb 95) vs. Past Tense S3E11-2 (2-9 Jan 95)-The Hugos recognize both science fiction & fantasy-Bob sees both G’Kar & Mollari as being somewhat Falstaffian characters-Emperor Turhan is played by the famous Austro-Turkish actor Turhan Bey, nicknamed Turkish Delight in 40s Hollywood who returned to US tv in the 90s, including playing a Russian on an early seaQuest DSV-One of the many things that’s cringey about The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe is someone selling their soul for Turkish Delight-Prime Minister Malachi is played by Jewish-American actor Malachi Thorne who also played False Face in the 60s Batman show, the Judge on the early 90s Batman cartoon, a gorilla in Batman Beyond, the Talosian keeper in the very first Star Trek ep, the commodore in the original series clipshow episode of that first episode, & a Romulan senator on TNG-Matt & Bob discuss their reluctance to revisit the 60s Batman show & the good things they’ve heard about the Batman ‘66 comic-If you want Roman intrigue, Bob always recommends I, Claudius (1976) &, for Venetian intrigue, Don’t Look Now (1973)-Bob admires Brendan Fraser’s mullet in Doom Patrol-Matt torments Bob w/ Robert Frost-Bob wants to be buried w/ both the Little Red Book (1964) & the Rules of Acquisition (1995)-The cop Vin is played by Dick Miller, he voiced a gangster in Mask of the Phantasm & played the newsstand vendor in Picard’s Dixon Hill program on TNG-Bob has been deeply disgusted by Michael Shellenberger’s book tour & how he wants to expel the homeless from SF-The best entry book on Trotskyism is Ernest Mandel Trotsky: A Study in the Dynamic of his Thought (1979)-Pt2 references the greatest director’s credit of all time in The Wild Bunch (1969)-Pt2 has Ron Howard’s brother as the guy who steals Dax’s combadge, his 2nd of 4 Trek appearances & only 1 as a human, the first being Balok in one of the first original series episodes, the third being a Ferangi in Enterprise, & the 4th being an Orion drug dealer late in Disco S1

Soul Mates S2E8 (14 Dec 94) vs. Fascination S3E10 (28 Nov 94)-Bob continues to recommend the Thomas Pynchon-esque dramedy Lodge 49 (2018-9)-One of the best books on Carnival is Joseph Roach Cities of the Dead (1996)-Matt recommends the comic Batman: Long Halloween (1997), but Bob disagrees & just says go with the film The Godfather (1972), which Long Halloween shamelessly rips off

Race thru Dark Places S2E7(25 Jan 95) vs. Defiant S3E9 (21 Nov 94)-A couple of cool alternative history novels that incorporate modern technology in Underground Railroad narratives are Colson Whitehead Underground Railroad (2016) & Ishmael Reed Flight to Canada (1976). Bob read the Whitehead after our recording & digs it. He hasn’t read the Reed yet but really digs his Yellow Back Radio Broke-Down (1969) & Mumbo Jumbo (1977)-The group telepathy scene does seem to anticipate JMS’s concerns in Sense8 (2015-8)-Bob’s ranking of Riker guest spots: Voyager, Lower Decks, Deep Space 9, Picard, & Enterprise

Spider in the Web S2E6 (7 Dec 94) vs. Meridian S3E8 (14 Nov 94)-Bob hasn’t watched much of either Parks & Rec or Brooklyn 9-9-Bob strongly recommends the AMC show Lodge 49-The voices of Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, Ra’s al Ghul, & the Judge from Batman: The Animated Series all show up on B5, & the voice of Riddler shows up on DS9.-Edgar Rice Burroughs’s John Carter stars in the first planetary romance novel series-David K. Johnson has written a good history of the Lavender Scare-Jessica Walters played Lucille Bluth on Arrested Development-The review of Ready Player 1 in ep 199 of Chapo Trap House is the only RP1 content you need-Matt recommends the Neal Stephenson novel Snow Crash-James Shigeta plays a Japanese-American detective in the Sam Fuller noir Crimson Kimono & a Vietnamese president in seaQuest DSV-Twin Peaks is one example of US media paranoia of Asian businesspeople in the 80s & 90s
