11.22.63 An Event Podcast

Join the 11.22.63 podcast gang for one last show, as we bid you Farewell from Dealy Plaza.

We pull out all the stops, as hosts Skipper Martin and Christopher DeFilippis join show creator and executive producer Albert Burdge on a walking tour of Dealey Plaza – to revisit the events of November 22, 1963 – and bring history to life.

Skip and Chris also talks about their favorite show moments, read some final listener feedback and interview constant listener (and “Skiptopher” creator) Keri Lynn about her own trip to Dealey Plaza – inspired by the show.

And if that’s not enough, we also reveal the winner of our Skiptopher contest – and tell you what Skip and Chris are planning to do now that the 11.22.63 Event Podcast has come to an end.

(Hint: It’s called the Castle Rock TV Podcast and you can listen to it here.)

It’s a time of bittersweet endings and bold new beginnings. Join us, won’t you?

Better listen to this show before the CIA takes it down and rubs us out, because this time around we're Cracking the Conspiracy!

We've been talking about doing this show since the beginning, and it has finally arrived.

On this episode of the podcast, Skip and Chris dive deep into Oliver Stone's crackpot classic JFK.

Join us as we attempt to wrangle this cinematic tour-de-force into submission, and trace the conspiracy from the streets of New Orleans right up the highest echelons of power. Kevin Costner leads a who's who of Hollywood A-Listers and veteran character actors in Stone's mile-a-minute conspiracy gumbo. But does the film have anything to offer aside from outlandish allegations delivered by talented thespians?

After JFK, we then dive into the NOVA episode Cold Case: JFK, which eschews the Hollywood storytelling and examines the forensic evidence surrounding the Kennedy assassination.

And just when you thought you were out, Skip yanks you back with the discovery and subsequent discussion of the Patricia Lambert book False Witness.

It's a scathing indictment of Jim Garrison, and the ruthless tactics he sank to to bring Clay Shaw to trial in the murder of John F. Kennedy.

You can also watch a documentary adaptation of False Witness below!

And, as always, there are detours, tangents, and feedback aplenty. So join us, as we blow the doors off the cover up! (Or, you know, don't.)

Watch the documentary "False Witness”

It’s like déjà vu all over again, as we traverse Time Loops!

This Bonus Episode of the 11.22.63 Podcast spirals beyond all temporal reason, as hosts Skipper Martin and Christopher DeFilippis plumb the time travel sub-genre that we love to experience over, and over, and over, and over, and over…

First up, the 1986 novel Replay, written by Ken Grimwood – which is about a man who dies in 1988 -- and wakes up as his younger self in 1963 -- and proceeds to cycle through that time period again and again. One of the 1963 segments even deals briefly with preventing the JFK assassination!

After that, we tackle the short story “12:01 P.M.” by Richard Lupoff, and the Academy Award-nominated short film it inspired -- which you can watch below! Again, it’s about a man who finds himself in a time loop, living the same hour over and over again. We also examine Lupoff’s follow-up stories “12:02 P.M.” and “12:03 P.M.” -- which expand the premise.

Then stick around as we discuss our personal favorite time loop stories. Yes, Groundhog Day is in there -- along with many of others!

And, as always, there are detours, tangents, and feedback aplenty. You’ll want to listen again, and again, and again, and again….

Watch the Academy Award Nominated Short Film “12:01 P.M.”

We interrupt our regularly scheduled podcast to bring you this nakedly self-serving appeal.

Welcome to Cash Grab, a bonus episode where we take a hiatus from talking about other shows, books and films that explore the idea of preventing the Kennedy assassination -- so we can shill the independent writing projects of your humble hosts, Skipper Martin and Christopher DeFilippis.

First up, we sell the hell out of Skipper’s graphic novel Bizarre New World. We're proud to present Skip's appearance on our Barren Space sister podcast Thinking Outside The Long Box, where he tells host Gabe LLanas about his inspiration for the comic book and its road to publication.

Next, we pile on the high-pressure tactics to peddle Chris’s time-travel horror book The Seeker: A Novella of T.R.U.T.H. Included is Chris's appearance on the radio program Destinies: The Voice of Science Fiction, where he talks about the story genesis and presents an audio dramatization of part of the book.

Along the way Skip and Chris have an honest discussion about what they liked -- and didn't -- about each other's work.

We wrap things up with our joint appearance on the Destinies radio show to promote the 11.22.63 Podcast.

And stick around for feedback and Skiptopher contest updates a-plenty.

So join us, as we embark on this deep, probing examination -- of your pocketbooks! A-B-C! Always be closing!

Fluttering the dovecotes from all the way across the pond, it’s a British Invasion!

On this fifth Bonus Episode of the 11.22.63 Podcast, hosts Skipper Martin and Christopher DeFilippis go all stiff upper lip, as they look at two uniquely British takes on time travelers getting involved in the JFK assassination.

First up is the the Doctor Who novel Who Killed Kennedy by David Bishop. Yes, we finally let the single most popular time traveler in the world in on the act. Get ready for a timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly ride with the third doctor! Jon Pertwee fans rejoice.

Then hang on to your chicken vindaloo, because next we tackle the Red Dwarf episode “Tikka To Ride.” This cult-classic Sci-Fi Brit-com managed to sneak a Kennedy assassination story in somewhere between all the curry jokes, and we tell you all about it! But we don’t go it alone! We have secured a token Brit!

Joining us on this show is our good friend Edwin Thrower. Edwin hails from merry olde England, and has a deep knowledge of Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, and just about everything geek. He’s smart, funny and brings a broader perspective to the fun – namely, a British one. He also takes the piss out of Chris and Skip!

If that’s not enough we also have an interview with David Bishop, author of Who Killed Kennedy, and several other Doctor Who stories. David is also a screenwriter and editor, and shares stories about his personal and professional adventures with The Doctor.

So gobsmacked you might chunder, ’ey mate?

We’re traveling in another dimension…

Join us -- if you dare -- as we Enter The Twilight Zone!

On the fourth Bonus Episode of the 11.22.63 Podcast, hosts Skipper Martin and Christopher DeFilippis journey beyond the boundaries of imagination to serve fans with two episodes of Rod Serling’s iconic Science Fiction television series.

First up is the original series episode “No Time Like the Past” -- which aired a mere seven months before the JFK assassination -- in which a time traveler attempts change history for the better. The episode features classic film star Dana Andrews.

Next, we profile the episode “Profile in Silver” from the 1980s Twilight Zone reboot, in which a time traveler -- posing as a teacher -- actually prevents the Kennedy assassination. Shades of Jake Epping?

Then stick around for two interviews!

First we speak with Marc Scott Zicree – who wrote for the 1985 Twilight Zone TV series. He’s also author of The Twilight Zone Companion, a history and detailed episode guide of Rod Serling’s legendary series.

We follow that up with a chat with legendary actor Jerry Hardin. Among his 100+ acting credits are turns on genre favorites The X Files and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Hardin also appears as LBJ in “Profile in Silver.” 11.22.63 Host Skipper Martin joined Jerry in his home for the interview.

We also bring you an 11.22.63 conspiracy theory of our very own! Could The Twilight Zone have influenced the actions of a certain Mr. Lee Harvey Oswald? Skipper Martin brings you some mind-blowing speculation. Move over, Oliver Stone!

Skip and Chris also wax about their personal experiences with The Twilight Zone, recounting how they discovered the series and their favorite episodes.

Plus the usual rants, tangents, disagreements, radio sightings and listener feedback you’ve come to know and love. Enjoy our dimensions of sound and mind!

Fire up your accelerator rings, fellow time travelers. It’s A Time To Remember Running Against Time!

Bonus Episode 3 of the 11.22.63 Podcast is not as awkwardly named as it seems, as it features reviews of the 1986 novel A Time To Remember, written by Stanley Shapiro, and the 1990 made-for-TV film adaptation it spawned, Running Against Time, which stars Robert Hayes (Airplane!) and Catherine Hicks (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home).

It’s déjà vu all over again, as hosts Skipper Martin and Christopher DeFilippis explore another story wherein a teacher travels back to Nov. 22, 1963, in order to prevent the Kennedy assassination.

Listen as they discuss the similarities and differences between the Shapiro and King novels; and then witness as they take their own trip back in time, unearthing the first show they ever recorded together – a review of Running Against Time that served as a pilot for the 11.22.63 Podcast. We’ve exhumed and resurrected it for your listening pleasure(?).

We also bring you an EXCLUSIVE interview with actor Marc Phelan, who plays a police officer in Running Against Time. Mark discusses his experiences working on the film, his career in acting and his own brush with a Kennedy Presidential motorcade a week prior to the assassination.

In addition we have the usual rants, tangents, radio sightings and listener feedback you’ve come to know and love.

A word on film availability: If you'd like to watch Running Against Time before listening to the show, you can order a VHS copy by clicking on the cover image below. There is also a DVD rip of the film available at a website called iOffer.

(WARNING: Kinda Spoilery!)

Join us as we embark on a TimeQuest in this, the second special Bonus Episode of the 11.22.63 Podacst!

What if a time traveler had traveled back to that fateful November day in 1963 and prevented the assassination of John F. Kennedy, allowing him to complete his first (and second!) term in office?

So asks the reality-bending 2002 film TimeQuest, written and directed by Robert Dyke and starring Victor Slezak, Caprice Benedetti and Vince Grant, with supporting appearances by Barry Corbin, Larry Drake and Bruce Campbell.

In this episode of the 11.22.63 Podcast, hosts Skipper Martin and Christopher DeFilippis examine the strengths and stumbles of this unique film, which paints a non-linear portrait of a 20th Century that never was.

And stick around for two terrific EXCLUSIVE interviews! Hear writer/director Robert Dyke discuss his inspiration for TimeQuest. Then listen as actress Caprice Benedetti tells us how she prepared to play one of the most iconic women of the 20th Century, Jackie Kennedy.

In addition we have some awesome listener feedback, radio sightings, and dole out some fabulous prizes. Oh, and did we mention our awesome Skiptopher Giveaway?

On this episode of the 11.22.63 Podcast, hosts Skipper Martin and Christopher DeFilippis wrap up their discussion about the 11.22.63 television adaptation by looking at the Hulu event series as a whole. What did it get right? Where did it go wrong? How does it stand up to other Stephen King adaptations?

Helping us answer these question are two very special guests, Hans Lilja and Lou Sytsma, hosts of The Stephen King Podcast. Lilja and Lou lend their Stephen King expertise to this entertaining and wide-ranging discussion.

In addition, there’s some very special feedback and a glimpse of the future of the 11.22.63 Podcast.
