The Rantcor Pit Live #23 - Happy Birthday C-3PO!

The JCU has fallen behind a bit in getting some of the shows posted to the site.  As a result, this episode of The Rantcor Pit Live is running very late in appearing here.  While it has been available for viewing on Deep Ellum on Air since February 22, it is overdue here.  Things are back to normal now so expect things to be caught up shortly.  - JediCole

Welcome to a special episode of The Rantcor Pit Live with Cole Houston and Eddie Medina paying tribute to the man in the golden suit, C-3PO himself, Anthony Daniels.  A special birthday celebration explores the character, the history, and the man who's performance defined one of the signature droids of the Saga.

Your hosts are joined by VegaBomber of Do It Yourself as they discuss C-3PO's role in Star Wars and the process of bringing the droid to the big screen.  From the films of the two trilogies to all of the myriad appearances of 3PO on television, there was a lot of ground to cover, most of it not too rocky.

So if you like the Star Wars and  you love you some C-3PO, don't miss out on this episode and help us celebrate Anthony Daniels' birthday and his impact on that galaxy far, far away!

Hey Kids, Comics! #127 - The Super-Human Experience: The Gods Themselves

From humans with the "power of the gods" to the actual gods of comic books in the conclusion to The Super-Human Experience.

Analyzing the psychology of non-humans (and even non-residents of this realm of existence) is a tricky thing for hosts Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston.  Yet they are up to the Herculean task at hand as they explore how Titans (not teen ones) clash and the gods mete out their own brand of justice on the world.

Discover what it must mean to be a god among men and gods, why some choose to become protectors and others just meddle or ignore the world that they once ruled, and what happens when pantheons collide.  See how the various Classical mythos vary from publisher to publisher?  And find out the favorite incarnations of your hosts as they appear in comics.

Did You Miss "Foscar Night"?

Hey gang!

It's been a little bit since this year's Oscar ceremonies honored last year's top films.  On the day of that event our own Vegabomber, co-host and creator of Do It Yourself  turned the Academy Awards on its ear with the first annual Foscars (or Fanboy Oscars)!  

You will see some familiar faces in fandom appearing as presenters including Andrew Farmer (Hey Kids, Comics!, Hey Kids, Comics! Live) and Eddie Medina (The Rantcor Pit, The Rantcor Pit Live, Figments).  In fact Eddie and I taped our presentation just minutes before going live with the latest edition of TRPL!  

So if you missed Foscar Night, then here's your chance to see what Vegabomber (who can't help but do everything Hollywood himself) had in mind for the "best of" cinema last year!

The Rantcor Pit #31 - Do We Like the Star Wars!

The Rantcor Pit is open for business yet again after a recent and unannounced hiatus!  Cole Houston and Eddie Medina are back and ready to talk about...Star Wars!

Okay, so that is rather the point of this whole show, that is not lost on them.  This time, however, they hearken back to the very first episode of the two-host incarnation and talk about the very series of films (and subsequent phenomenon) that are the reason this podcast exists.  From childhood memories to anecdotes to general tales of Star Wars, your hosts take a trip through their vastly memories of the Saga.

Starting with Episode IV and working through the entire pair of trilogies, many are the stories that punctuate their lives and the impact of Star Wars.  Multiple screening, the "collecting bug", the advent and evolution of home video, and that damned Episode I trailer!  The last part is a story you will certainly here on this episode (assuming it has not been told in the past, in which case you will hear it again).

So get ready for a jump into retro-hyper-space as Eddie and Cole go full reverse then full speed ahead on a journey through lives chock full of the Star Wars!
