Some RANDOM THOUGHTS about Sylvain White and the Live Action Movie....
And guys and girls, THANK you for making Episode #20 the BEST EVER. From the guests to the greatest listeners in the world, it was a magical moment and an AWESOME TIME!
And we have almost come to the end of the BIG EVENT in Robotech's anniversary month, The SDF-25 MECHA TOURNAMENT. What a tournament it has been and shortly we will crown DA' CHAMP! Thank you to ALL who participated and had fun with it. That was the name of the game and the gratifying feeling that I got from the response only "motivates" me for more.......STAY TUNED!
THE ROBOTECH FILES - For almost the entire life of this show, we have concentrated on the Original 85 and the time has come to take that step in this segment into the beyond.....Robotech's Expanded Universe!
The first we take is into the comics world with the mini series THE MALCONTENT UPRISINGS! In this episode we will cover the first 6 of the 12 issue series...
Even after 20 years since it was published, it still is quite a read! My hat's off to writer Bill Spangler and the team for this series. It brought out some secondary characters as the main focus and gives you a side of them so far removed from the original Robotech story!
OFF THE SCIFI SHELF - I am an 80's guy and it sure had it's share of "tough guy " movies and the film that we talk about on this edition is one that created a notable science fiction franchise still popular today, PREDATOR, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Wikipedia article
One production note. Originally, the role of the Predator was given to another 80's tough guy Jean Claude Van Damme and the alien looked a lot different than the Predator we've come to know and "love"
Am I RELIEVED that neither Van Damme nor this "Predaor" make it to the final cut! I mean How could you NOT love this one ugly motherf......
Brings a tear to your eye doesn't it......LOL!
PROTOCULTURE TIMES POLL QUESTIONS - They are back with a VENGEANCE and they are already up for you to vote and we go over each one!
IN THE ROBOTECH SPOTLIGHT - the light shines brightly this time on a gentleman by the name of Tana Sarnt. He's a Robotech fan with a Robotech dream. Dreams are all about hope and action and this guy has BOTH.
Check out his website and his dream here!
My personal feelings about the LAM aside, I am totally rooting for this guy and his dream, because it's an AWESOME feeling when dreams do come true, I know from experience.
Once again, I am truly blessed to be able to interact with so many talented people out there in the fandom! Small projects, big projects, they are what keeps the boat afloat in Robotech. It's called effort and HEART!
Since you like visiting here Harmony Gold and "lapdogs".....you can quote me on the following....
IT'S ANNIVERSARY TIME BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seeya for our final SDF-25 MECHA TOURNAMENT RESULTS SHOW coming up Sunday, April 11th!
REVIVE FOR 25!
