    30.) Period. (w/ Steve Roberts)

    (Recorded on 31 March 2021.)

    In one of the documentaries about the making of Max Headroom, Steve told a story about how all the “periods” were removed from the story. Heather had some thoughts on this.

    Heather always wants to normalize conversation about periods.

    Austin has fewer thoughts on the subject than you would think… and yet… somehow more than you’d think, too?

    We encourage you to help with our Patreon Fundraiser, where we are working with Michael Cassutt to create an audio-drama version of his lost vintage Max Headroom script, “Families.” So if you help support Austin Rich so he doesn’t have to punch a clock, then we can get more of this kind of material to you, quickly.

    In our next episode, we will be offering either some additional Maxis, or our promised conversation about the film Blade Runner, which seems to currently be streaming on Netflix, though who can say how long that will be? There are a number of other places to find it, too, so check it out, and we’ll get out next episode out, ASAP.

    29.) It’s Halloween In The Fringes!

    (Recorded on 20 October 2023.)

    It looks like Heather and Austin have decided to go… trick or treating in The Fringes!? Oh no! This can only lead to a drunken night at Caligula’s, where Heather has taken over the jukebox. Hopefully the good music will protect us from Bruegel & Mahler.

    (The voice of our announcer is none other than Xeres of Xeron himself! The doorman was played by Imaginos.)

    Heather’s Holiday Playlist is most definitely below.

    Austin can’t even work a fake tiara on Halloween. Sigh.

    You can watch the whole movie, with our commentary, here.

    Or, if you would just like a commentary track .mp3 that you can try to sync up with your copy of the film, this might work for you.
