In this second part of our two-part extravaganza on The Rings of Power the cast jumps back into talking about Middle Earth. In this episode they ask “What’s in a name?” as they wonder why anyone included a Hobbit. The Stranger’s gray identity is mooted. The cast discusses the geometry of rings and why 15 minutes may not be enough time to devote to their creation. They also get into the trauma that creates the orcs and the idea of an “evil race”. Along the way they discuss tropish women who need fathers for their sons, vampire orcs, and the politics of Númenor.

As this is the second part of our two-parter there isn’t a Five-Minute Controversy.

This week Anji, Keith, and Kimi join the cast.

Flopcast episode 645! The Mayor of Chickentown joins Kevin and Kornflake as our look back at Dragon Con 2024 continues! This time we’re covering Friday and Saturday, when the convention was so crowded that we could not have squished one more nerd into Atlanta. Our coverage includes: The Geek Girls Run! The ESO Network’s Freaks and Geeks 25th Anniversary panel! More panels on punk rock sci-fi, Office Space, Aquaman, cicadas, and apes! Monty Python’s John Cleese! Flute-playing astronaut Cady Coleman! A super-weird (as usual) round of Sci-Fi Explosion! And perhaps a naughty Star Trek puppet show too! It was all quite exhausting, and yikes, we still had two days to go. Stock up on mead and cheese (that’s our Dragon Con health plan) and enjoy…

A mining crew traveling in deep space is awakened and told to investigate a distress call from a nearby planet. And then the fun begins, because “in Space, no one can hear you scream.” Find out more on this episode of MONSTER ATTACK!, The Podcast Dedicated To Old Monster Movies.

Tonight we say “So long, pally” to the great James Darren, best known to Trekkers for playing Vic Fontaine on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. But he also played a host of other memorable characters on other shows like Time Tunnel and TJ Hooker, and films like the Gidget series. We’ll be sharing our memories of his amazing career as well as taking your comments and questions.

Comic books and feedback on episode 337 of Soul Forge Podcast.

A brief history of comics…the first modern American style comic book, Famous Funnies: A Carnival of Comics, was released in the U.S. in 1933. This was a reprinting of earlier newspaper humor comic strips, which had established many of the story-telling devices used in comics. The term comic book derives from American comic books once being a compilation of comic strips of a humorous tone. However, this practice was replaced by featuring stories of all genres, usually not humorous in tone. 

Timely Comics is the common name for the group of corporations that was the earliest comic book arm of American publisher Martin Goodman. This is the entity that would evolve by the 1960s to become Marvel Comics. The first printing was in October of 1939.

Marvel has become the unquestionable king of the superhero and comic book industry. The company grew throughout the Golden Age and exploded into the mainstream throughout the Silver Age. Here, heroes like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor and the X-Men came to embody the company’s colorful approach to heroes. 

Also in this episode: the different versions of characters and their time-lines, valuable comic books, and the on-screen versions. We also have feedback regarding episode 335.
