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!

Hey Kids, Comics! #126 - The Super-Human Condition: Out of This World

Hey Kids, Comics! is back with more on The Super-Human Condition, this time with "human" not really being so much part of the equation.  This issue takes the explorations of the psychology of super-heroes well away from terrestrial concerns.  From the all-too-common "last sons" of faraway worlds to the explorers and conquerors of realms beyond our own, there is a lot of ground (or is that space?) to cover.

What does it mean to be "alien" on Earth?  And then to elect to become a protector of your adopted world?  Or to plan its invasion for your leaders?  Or perhaps you are just trying to get back home like that little guy in "E.T."  There really are endless possibilities when you just aren't from around here.

So get in on the action and see (or hear) what Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston have to say about strange visitors, interplanetary wars, dimensional travelers, higher planes of existence, and unique musical instruments.  Whether down and out on Earth or on top of the world, this one's for the aliens!

Hey Kids, Comics! #125 - The Super-Human Condition: Above and Beyond

Hey Kids, Comics! is back at last, if a couple of days late.  Things are pretty hectic at the JCU at the moment with preparations for All-Con 2015 consuming most of our days, so be sure and come see us March 12-15 in Addison, TX.  And remember, Thursday the 12th is a FREE tryout day if you just want to see what it is all about before you buy your pass!  But in HKC! news we just ran behind getting this week's issue out to everybody.

The Super-Human Condition continues to explore the dynamics and psychology of being a super-hero or villain (depending on which side of the crime fence you like).  And this week things get turned all the way up to eleven!  

Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston have discussed the pinnacle of human achievement types and those that utilize science or sorcery to enhance what God gave them on permanent basis (at least for their alter ego), but now it is time for the characters who are always imbued with powers and abilities beyond those of mortal men.  

Whether by accident or design, many are the heroes and villains who are forever that which makes them "above and beyond" what man might achieve.  From accidents with highly improbably after effects to the deliberate taking on of permanent physiological change, there is a lot to talk about this week.  Especially with mutants factored into the mix!
