"Jodorowsky’s Dune" is a documentary about the greatest movie you'll never watch. You’ll hear from Alejandro Jodoworsky, Dan O’Bannon and Frank Herbert. You’ll also find out how we thought of the name for our podcast! Yes, it has something to do with Jodoworsky.

We'll take on some of the biggest criticisms like...

• Did Jodo even read the the book?

• Was it economically impossible?

• Was the movie 14 hours long?

• The assertion that “Star Wars” ripped off “Jodoworsky’s Dune”. No, they stole plenty from Frank Herbert’s "Dune".

Today, we're looking at the classic horror movie, "The Shining" (1980). It's such a superb film, that each time we watch it, we find a deeper meaning. This time the "restroom" scene with Delbert Grady and Jack Torrance really slapped us in the face. After doing some digging online, we found an excellent “Scraps from the Loft” interview with Stanley Kubrick's co-writer - Diane Johnson. We'll attempt to lay the groundwork for what makes the Overlook Hotel a haunted nightmare and whether or not the ghosts are real or all in Jack's psychotic mind.

The Fantastically Terrible Character or Creature is Robert Shaw’s portrayal of Quint in 1975s mega-hit Jaws. Hats off to the man that had his manliness eaten in the most manly way possible…by a 6,000 pound man-eater.

There will be lots of blood, major family dysfunction, ghosts, the collective unconscious, freaky twins and terror!

Today we’re going to do things a little bit differently. We’ve had a few inquisitive listeners ask us to provide more information about ourselves. So, we thought we’d interview each other (in our own way). Let the hilarity begin! We talk about where we’re from, living in NYC, and our biggest influences for art and writing. We also talk about Miguel’s imaginary youth, being raised by werewolves and living on the moon. Things get strange. For links to everything we discuss and a lot more, visit: www.7robots.com/podcast

At the end of every episode, we like to highlight a 'Fantastically Terrible Character or Creature'. Today, we pay homage to Captain Lou Albano, a WWF/E Hall of Fame wrestler and the voice of Mario on “The Super Mario Bros. Super Show” and played him in the live-action segments.

Today’s discussion is about…Fists of Fury! We’ll look at two new kick ass action packed Asian-American shows that that slap the whitewash off of racial stereotypes. They are Bruce Lee’s “Warrior” from Cinemax and “WU Assassins” from Netflix. There are no lazy stereotypes or offensive caricatures to be found anywhere. Hallelujah!

At the end of every episode, we like to highlight a 'Fantastically Terrible Character or Creature'. Today, we pay homage to the “Roaming Gnome” in the 2001 French film “Amélie”.

Today’s discussion is about...social horror. We’re going to compare two TV shows that kept us on the edge of our seats - "Lovecraft Country" from HBO and "Ares" from Netflix. Both stories and performances provide a complexity that we find outstanding. Which is our favorite? That’s really hard to say. Which show tied each episode into a brilliant ending? Well, you’ll have to listen to find out.

Along with all the fantastically creepy horror, both shows manage to infuse racial and social issues into the main artery of the narrative. The first show may not be a surprise. "Lovecraft Country" puts the Tulsa Massacre of 1921 at it’s core. The second is a series from the Netherlands called "Ares" (that’s Aries like the god of war). Ares eviscerates and lays bare the Dutch colonial past. The U.S. vs the Netherlands? It’s like an MMA championship of horror.

We'll introduce ourselves and give you an idea of what to expect. Working in comics (and the arts) is the most fantastically terrible career you can have. What do we base this on? We’ve been independent comic creators for many years. Horror, sci-fi, comedy, satire, ghosts, aliens…we’ve done it all.

We’ll discuss many topics, including but not limited to...the shrewd dumbness of the comic industry, essential info about writing and creating art for a living, giving color commentary on movies and TV and other tender morsels. We’ll end every episode with a 'Fantastically Terrible Character or Creature'.

Thanks for listening! If you'd like to support the show, please follow us. We would really appreciate it and we'll personally thank you on the show.
