Hola, Sneakers! Welcome to Episode 294 of Sneaky Dragon. The countdown to Episode 297 continues!!! (Ian hates that joke.)

This week on Sneaky Dragon: crossing the border worries; going to comic conventions; Dave pooh-poohs his professionalism; we could be in alternate dimensions; more then you wanted to know about The Heavenly Kid; Dave finds Atomic Blonde mysterious; the importance of writing voices; more than you wanted to know about Castlevania; movies without endings; Ian is mad about the Han Solo movie; Dave defends and condemns new Star Wars films; Dave gets enthusiastic about Jane Austen; Ian would like fewer backstories, Hollywood; Ian is amazed to discover Pinocchio in Outer Space; Dave has thoughts about Captain Hook; and, finally, they end the show with a little game based on Canaan Grall’s alternative Pictionary cards.

Thanks for listening!

Don’t forget we would like to hear from our funny and talented listeners. It’s easy!

* Have some dinner with Ian and Dave, and, if you want, watch Sneaky Dragon being recorded. All you have to do is send us a little message that says, “I’d like to eat with you!” and Ian and Dave will treat you to an after-show meal at their favourite White Spot.

* Send us your story. That’s right. Just your story. If you need a prompt, Ian suggested “your secret origin” and Dave suggested “how how you found Sneaky Dragon” Please record a two to three minute story and send it to us via email ([email protected]) or our Facebook page. Or Skype Sneaky Dragon and leave a message on our voicemail. David will add a playlist for your story as well.

So Gary Coleman was not in The Heavenly Kid. He was in The Kid with the Broken Halo. Believe it or not, there was no trailer for the film on YouTube, but here is some sort of compilation of moments from the film:

Another fan-made trailer: this time for Pinocchio in Outer Space!

And Ian is over Castlevania:

Is it suspicious when almost forty seconds of your 96 second trailer is just someone loading a game into a a game console?
