Two True Freaks

Thirty years ago, the New York Mets beat the Boston Red Sox in the 1986 World Series. For those of us who are die-hard Mets fans, it was an experience that we'll never forget, and one that we have savored since then, as we patiently (and sometimes even painfully) wait for the Amazins to hoist the World Series trophy once more. Join me and my guest Paul Spataro as we look back on the 1986 season, NLCS, and World Series and share our memories of what it was like to be a kid (in my case) and be at some of the greatest games in Mets history (like Paul).

PLUS ... stay through to the end of the show for an exciting announcement about a BRAND NEW PODCAST!!!

Show notes and pictures are available at Pop Culture Affidavit, which is also where you can see regular weekly blog entries about the randomness that is pop culture

Back from hiatus!!! And to kick things off, 3rd Degree Byrne is going to give you Number One. Just thank goodness it isnt Number Two!

No, no, we are not giving you any bathroom leavings, we are back to talk some Star Trek. Some John Byrne Star Trek.

Sit back and take a listen as Tim Elliott and Brian Hughes review IDWs Star Trek: Crew. “Shakedown” is the name of the story and it tells the tale of an early Number One, years before she, Spock and Captain Pike entered “The Cage”.

And be sure to listen at the very end as we give our listeners a true challenge. I dare you!

Boy, gone a few months and you would think they would throw out a little more cover copy than that! Well how about this? I have been sitting here, looking at this page, trying to figure out what to fill it with. I mean it is crazy trying to come up with new things every time we do this and I dont even know if any of you read this stuff. Its not like you tell us, or write us or review us. Come to think of it, it has been months since anyone has given us an iTunes review. OK, I am just going to stop right here until you go to iTunes and give us a 5 star review. Go on, Ill wait…

…

Oh, there you are, how did it go?

Well, on with the show!!

Its not a bird! Its not a plane! Its Super! And by Super I mean twice as Super! Why? Because our latest Superhero show in the Berlanti-verse, SUPERGIRL, has seen fit to bring the one, the only SUPERMAN back to the small screen. How did we react? Well, SCOTT 2.0, SCOTT MCGREGOR and BRIAN HUGHES get together for an impromptu Five Minute Freak to discuss their thoughts on the Two-Part Supergirl story with the Man of Steel. Sit back as Scott and Brian discuss the latest incarnation of Superman on the small screen and compare him to everyone, except maybe Kirk Alyn. They kinda forgot about him. Oh, well. They also go on many a tangent, discuss everything but the economy and the current election, and everyone else was the better for it.

THANK YOU for listening to Two True Freaks!!

At last, the journey begins back... back to a film from 1985 that is still beloved 31 years later.

Back, three decades to a young David Weter discovering the world of Hill Valley, where Marty McFly and Doc Brown live, and a time-travelling Delorean takes them on adventures.

It is the first installment of Dave Does Back to the Future, providing an overview of the films, Animated Series, The Ride, the video games, and the comics that this semi-ongoing series will be working with.

Download, and begin the journey, because where this podcast is going, we don't need roads.

Lessen you're already married, companionship can be hard to come by out in the 'verse. So when Mal and Co are offered a nice, cushy job protectin' some friendly women of easy virtue, all seems well. Until the catch rears its ugly head and the crew of Serenity need to cowboy up. They deal in lead, friend. It's HEART OF GOLD, the penultimate episode of FIREFLY.

Welcome to the 40th episode of Jaig Eyes & Jedi! Join Hope Mullinax and Chris Honeywell as they ponder why this episode of Star Wars - The Clone Wars is called CAT AND MOUSE when it's really about a spider and a Jedi! It's also the earliest (timeline-wise) episode of Clone Wars!

PACKEF INTO THIS EPISODE - A THRAWN-SPIDER - TRICKERY AND TRAPS - A CLOAKING DEVICE - STAR TREK STREAM CROSSING - SMUTTY YODA and all the CLASS you've come to expect from Hope and Chris!

Unfinished Business continues! In short, Magnus originally had something else planned for this episode. But, through no fault of anybody's, that ended up not working out so well.

So His Excellency, ever one step ahead of you lowly miscreants, moved an episode originally scheduled for release in 2017 over to today!

(Yes, things really are planned out that far ahead.)

In short, today's show is all about The Shadow Strikes #2, written (with astute attention to detail) by Gerard Jones and pencilled (with great expertise) by Eduardo Barreto.

There's probably other stuff that could get mentioned here but it's been a long day, Magnus is worn out and this is all you're getting. Deal with it.

COMING NOVEMBER 15, 2016, IT'S REQUIRED READING WITH TOM AND STELLA! Join Tom Panarese (Pop Culture Affidavit, In Country) and Stella (Batgirl to Oracle) as they take one work of literature and analyze it, dissect it, and determine if it is worthy of its place in the canon.

The 2016 Horror month continues with a look at books with Ghosts in them. Unfortunately, Scott is off on assignment again, leaving Paul and Bill in the house alone with a book of matches. Will they burn it to the ground? Or will they use them to just heat up a nice cup of Diet Mountain Dew Cocoa? Listen in and find out!

It's a TRICK OR TREAT TRIPLE FEATURE! Join THEM JACONETTI BOYS (Luke and Jason) and CONJOINED CHRIS'S (Tyler and Honeywell) for their BLOW-OUT 2016 HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! This time we have a Disney short, an 80's heavy metal back-masking nightmare and an honest to Satan horror anthology - ALL WITH THE SAME (more or less) NAME! IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! Spend a dreary evening with the VAULT CREW!
