Reverend Matt joins a murderer’s row of extraordinary local writers to discuss the cultural impact of an independent film from 1977 about space wizards. Learn about the role of monsters and animals in a series based on technology and mysticism. Also, why tauntauns are the best!
Reverend Matt’s Monster Science returns to the 50-hour (!!) comedy marathon where it first became more than ten minutes long! Why, just look here!
Saturday!
– 8:30 am: May the Farce Be With You Episode II: Attack of the Porgs includes a seven-minute Monster Science on tauntauns!
– 8:00 pm: An hour of Monster Science! Bizarrocosms: What if the dinosaurs had never died out? What will life look like on Earth millions of years after humanity is gone? What would life on other planets look like other than humans with wrinkly foreheads? Explore the worlds of speculative evolution – whole imaginary zoologies founded on sound (or less than sound) scientific and ecological principles. Plus comedy jokes! Many of those actually!
– 9:00pm: Reverend Matt co-judges the Epic Lip Sync Battle!
Hello. Ahem. Hello. I’m back. Hopefully to stay; I’ve been messing around with podcasting hardware and software and results are promising so far. But for now, please enjoy my guest-starring on the extraordinary Doctor Who podcast “Get Off My World”! I’m the guest monster expert, and we talk about the Third Doctor series “The Dinosaur Invasion,” and argue about Star Wars and Star Trek! Check it out here!
