41 to one!
This week on a newly air-conditioned 41st episode of the Crankcast …
Big time comic book writer, Sean Mckeever, comes by to get out of the 100 degree weather and talk about going to Six Flags with Mike. Mike, Sean and crank! commiserate about missing San Diego this year and reminisce on conventions past. Finally we read some more listener email ( thanks for writing!) and talk about some bad tv … ooooh shocker.

Be nice Mike.
I feel like we should have an award … something like “Most Stream of Consciousness” or something.
Groble, have a good flight to Spain. What’s going on there anyway?

Chris and Mike,
Besides Mid-Ohio Con, are there any other conventions you will both attend?
Also, here’s an article that you may find of interest:

“The extinction of mass culture”
As always, a very entertaining show :)

sean mckeever why must you always torment me, oh woe is me, much woe, can you feel the woe?
July 19th, 2006 at 7:15 pm
Hey David … I remember reading that wired article years ago that the guy’s book is based on … probably helped form an opinion or two on how I see things now. As to the article’s author, I come at it from the other direction … he’s sees the fragmentation of mass culture as a thing to worry about while I think it’s enabling folk who wouldn’t otherwise have a shot to make their mark and gives everyone a choice in what they want to learn about. Mass media gave us just what they wanted to but now we get to decide our ‘programming.
I think it’s neat.
Thanks for listening,
crank!

Not to sound like Marvel’s latest marketing tagline, however, I’m on your side, Chris.
I find podcasts, such as yours, far more enjoyable than anything on the radio or TV, both of which I’ve abandoned (with the exception of using my TV to watch DVDs of course).
Best,
David Thornton

Crank,
Dustin Hoffman = Marathon Man
Arnold Schwarzenegger = Running Man
Big difference!

hahahahaha …. did I goof again?
To my credit, I at least knew which movie I was talking about in my head. Marathon Man is a fantastic movie … made me afraid of dentists for life.
Papillon made me afraid of French Ghiana … yet another place I can never go.
crank!

It was a fairly quiet slip up in the background. Sounded like you weren’t quite sure. My first, equally uncertain thought was “Hoffman wasn’t in Running Man.” Then it clicked as I got the mental image of Dustin running along that bridge (?) at night.

I’ve seen this guy before. Good suit, except for one thing — WHERE ARE THE TRUNKS?!? Why go to that much effort and then get the costume wrong?
