Ciao, Sneakers! This week on Episode 295 of Sneaky Dragon, Ian and Dave drink some weird water; do some hard-hitting political satire; discover Kryptonian justice was old-style; open some gifts; review Valerian; agree that promoting sci-fi is hard; bathe in movie bathos; give a shout out to a listener; get scared of chickens; hire a crow; visit the San Diego Comicon; fan out over Twin Peaks; and, finally, win some hearts and minds.

Thanks for listening.

As always, our apparently endless contests continue apace:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
