Hey All You Zombies!! Episode 46 - Space Oddities, Spock Songs, & Badgers

Too many fun things to discuss this week. There’s Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield’s poignant version of Space Oddity, the one-and-only Mr. Spock (but wait there’s two now), the odd attacks aimed at Angelina Jolie’s mastectomy, and Queen guitarist Brian May’s creative Badger campaign.

Let us know what you think!

Hey All You Zombies!! Ep 45

As we post this, Cody Wilson’s 3D Printed Pistol file has been downloaded more than 100,000 times. This week we touch upon what is surely a complex and unpredictable news.

We also enjoy the way Ray Harryhausen has been remembered this week, offer impressions of Iron Man 3, and wonder about The Great Gatsby, Downton Abbey, and Pride & Prejudice & Zombies.

Hey All You Zombies!! Episode 44

We have a fantastic show for you this week. Richard will take you through Night of the Living Dead Live, the Romero-sanctioned stage play based on the classic film, Kris endorses The Nightjar, an audio-only game starring Benedict Cumberbatch, and we discuss the way fan collectors have changed and the strange condition of Face Blindness and how it relates to face recognition techniques used recently in Boston.

We didn’t mention on the podcast, but Oliver Reed died fourteen years ago yesterday: “If somebody punches me on the nose, I will punch them back; if somebody buys me a drink, I will buy them one back.”

It’s Record Store Day!

Just a reminder that today’s the day to hit your local independent vinyl shoppe to celebrate Record Store Day. There will be a number of cool special edition vinyls and picture discs to grab, Last year Richard picked up this awesome David Bowie picture disc which he talks about it in our first episode.

David Bowie has another slick disc for this year’s event, so you can bet Richard will be hunting around the stores for that one too.

Hey All You Zombies!! Episode 43

We start off with some bad behaviour this week as Richard tackles the zeal news reporters have in giving bad information during tragic events, Kris compares his relationship to cheating as a gamer to Richard’s as someone who doesn’t play games, and finally we salute the new Rush postal stamp and enjoy the mystery of an old film about super insects.

If you haven’t seen this yet, you’re in for a treat. In Fangoria’s new YouTube show Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian gets a privileged tour of Rick Baker’s Display Room.

It’s everything you could hope to see from the man behind countless legendary effects in An American Werewolf In London, Star Wars, Men In Black, and well, the list goes on and on.

The bonus? Some fantastic commentary by Bob Burns.

Hey All You Zombies!! Episode 42 - Peter Reveen, Walking Dead, Jurassic Park 4

Richard’s childhood hero, magician and psychological illusionist Peter Reveen, is the focus of our chat this week along with Jurassic Park 4’s feather-riffling controversy, more on Richard’s meeting with The Walking Dead’s Glen Mazzara, and Kris tells a story about “an island inhabited by creatures that like to steal gadgets”.

Hey All You Zombies!! Episode 41# - Walking Dead, Monkey Toes, & Pliers

It’s been our most popular topic and so we’re devoting an entire episode to the Season 3 finale of The Walking Dead. It’s been a whirl of redneck redemption, psychopathic nuttiness, and a taut moment involving monkey toes and pliers. Too bad we’re going to have to wait until the Fall to see it continue.

The Ontario Specialty Company Is Now Open Online!

Our favourite shoppe for retro goods, wind-up toys, and novelties is back open for business as a web store.

This is the place Richard introduced and we explored in episodes two and three.

Make sure to check out the video they have of some of their classic wind-ups and then expect to lose a few hours going through their many categories including their international toys, inflatables, magic tricks, sunglasses, and more.

The web is full of Geek stores, but rarely ones in Canada where shipping is reasonable. Let’s hope they do well enough to expand.
