Batman ’66 S3 Ep3 – The Wail of the Siren

Subtitle: Selling at the Con

This week, we take Have Coffee Will Travel on the road—well… to a convention hall here in Sault Ste. Marie for the very first Great Lakes Geek Fest, put on by Kanto Kreations.

And yes—we had a booth.

Why? Because Shawn is turning 50, and apparently that means it’s time to start letting go of a lifetime of collecting. (Emotionally? Maybe. Financially? Also maybe.) We packed up a little bit of everything: Funko Pops, mystery bags, vintage diecast cars, plushes, action figures, VHS tapes, LEGO… if it lived on a shelf, there’s a good chance it made the trip.

Leah joined in too, giving a little spotlight to her footcare business—because nothing says “comic con” like healthy feet and solid arch support.

We’re also joined by our friend RJ this week, making this a rare three-host episode. Alongside helping at the booth, Leah and RJ drop a tease about the next play they’re directing. No title yet—we tried—but you’ll have to stick with the podcast for the eventual reveal.

Somewhere between sales and storytelling, we dive into a classic debate: what is the best Star Trek series? Opinions are strong, as expected. We also talk about the surprising news that Starfleet Academy has already been canceled by Paramount+—so when season two arrives, that’ll be the end of the line.

To wrap things up, Shawn shares a new adventure: a YouTube channel focused on life, turning 50, and figuring things out as you go. If that sounds like your vibe, you can check it out here:

It’s a little nostalgic, a little reflective, and a lot of fun behind the table at our first con.

Grab a coffee and come hang out.

The Day the Earth Stood Still was a film released in 1951. It tells the story of an alien visitor coming to Earth with an important message for mankind. Humanity fears him, but the greatest threat to them is their own paranoia. In this episode we discuss this film. We talk about the characters and what we think of the performances. We discuss the effects and both how and why they hold up even today. We also examine the themes of the film and how well it develops them. Along the way we get into the spooky music, the film’s societal impact, use of tension in storytelling, and even a plot hole or two.

Due to time constraints is no five-minute controversy this time.

This week Stephen, Keith, Ashley, and Tom join the cast.

Flopcast episode 724! A few weeks ago, we reviewed the 1925 silent black and white version of The Wizard of Oz, and it was… not great. So this week, we’re watching the 1939 version, which has sound and color (you know, mostly), and is arguably the superior film. And we’re here to talk about it. Our discussion includes: Professional show chickens, crullers, how people are still suckered by psychics, Dorothy’s red hair, professional show crows, Martin Short as a picket fence, the Tin Man’s Boston accent, “Existential Blues” by Tom “T-Bone” Stankus, a scarecrow with a gun, fake owls, and Huey Lewis.
