Pex Lives: A Doctor Who Podcast

In the first installment of an irregular, ongoing series: Kevin hosts longtime friend of the podcast, Ben Knaak , to discuss the baseball season (at the time), the Olympics, taxpayer financing of new stadiums, and - of course - Lucha Underground. All that and more, on this very special premiere episode of Pex Lives Xtreme !

A clip show featuring never-before-heard bits of previous Shabcasts.

Welcome to your Pex Lives. In this episode, Kevin and James talk about then-current events, the First Doctor serial the Crusade, and three more classic westerns. Those movies were: Shane (1953) Johnny Guitar (1954) The Searchers (1956)

Find out why the Titanic sank, with Jack and Josh.  Plus - other stuff!!!

Kevin and James are joined by their friend Tomas to continue their dive into their dusty Westerns with a trio of John Ford pictures, before happily skipping toward the classic Sylvester McCoy serial  Ghost Light!  The films discussed are: Stagecoach (1939) My Darling Clementine (1946) The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)  

This week Jack is joined by returning Shabcast guest, and writer of the brilliant blog Vaka Rangi (which is now part of Eruditorum Press), Josh Marsfelder.  They talk Trek for a bit, then Aliens and James Cameron, and then get on to another of Josh's passions: the Titanic (movie and reality).  It's a lively chat, loaded with fascinating, mythbusting details.  Part 2 next week, in which Jack and Jo...

At last that guy who sings the unsettling theme music about burning down the world shows up for an interview, in which we completely fail to talk about him because this month we're just promoting  Neoreaction a Basilisk.  So instead we talk about accelerationism, hyperstition, and the end of the world. Neoreaction a Basilisk remains available on Kickstarter all May. 

Phil is joined by Eruditorum Press's very own Jane Campbell to talk about the gnostic and mystical implications of  Neoreaction a Basilisk , which as I'm sure you know by now is available on Kickstarter all through May.  And if you enjoy these podcasts, you should really back it, because holy crap the hosting bill this month is mental.

Kevin & James kick off their Western series with a chat about the Gunfighters, a Dr. Who serial from '66. Before that, they have a great conversation about three Gary Cooper films. High Noon (1952) Man of the West (1958) The Hanging Tree (1959)

As James madly tries to get this up on the day he moves house, he reflects on how proud he is of this episode that includes killer cats, killer pianos, and an immortal Edgar Allan Poe. There's another segment in the film, too. God, what is it? Oh yeah, Hollywood robots. Just another day at the office for the internet's best and only podcast devoted to Amicus films. Enjoy.

Phil sits down with Sam Keeper of Storming the Ivory Tower  to talk about  Neoreaction a Basilisk , it's gnostic structure, and his secret traumatic origin story. Neoreaction a Basilisk is currently available on Kickstarter.

Jack is joined by James Murphy for a brief and concise chat which definitely doesn't touch on much politics at all.

Phil continues his self-indulgent Neoreaction a Basilisk book tour with Eruditorum Press's very own Jack Graham, where we sit down and have the two-and-a-half hour conversation about horror philosophy, leftist politics, and the alt-right that you'd expect us to. Also a bunch of Hugo Awards stuff, and generally one of the best Sandifer/Graham rambles to date. You can get Neoreaction a Basilisk on K...

Part 2 of Shabcast 19, featuring Jack in conversation with Daniel Harper.

This month, a special series of Eruditorum Presscasts as Phil sits down with various guests to be interviewed about his new book, Neoreaction a Basilisk. This week he's joined by David Gerard, who read the book in 2000 word chunks serialized as Phil was writing it, and who spent time in the trenches of  LessWrong and reading neoreactionaries before it was cool. You can back  Neoreaction a Basilisk...

Daniel Harper rejoins Jack to talk about... stuff.

In this special one-off, wherein Jane doesn't allow James to get away with his usual glib nonsense, the pair talk about the new Who episodes The Curse of the Black Spot Journey to the Center of the TARDIS & Time Heist    

Phil is joined by Noah Berlatsky, author of Wonder Woman: Bondage and Feminism in the Marston/Peter Comics  to talk about Grant Morrison's new Wonder Woman graphic novel and the usual motley of off-topic subjects.

Kevin and James are joined by author Kit Power.

In which your hosts meddle with forces they don't understand. What forces? Bees.  

In this episode, Jack is joined by the wonderful Shana Wolstein , of the Oi! Spaceman podcast , to talk about two of her (and Jack's) favourite movies: The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth . 

The City of the Dead team tackle the forgotten movie from Amicus; The Psychopath. Is it a lost classic? Listen and find out!

Jack is joined by Kevin to talk The Matrix .  At length.  It's fair to say that neither of them are especially fond of it.   Oh, and here 's a link to an article they mention.

Kevin and James talk to a Match Made In Space's Jon Wolter about David Bowie and the Jon Pertwee serial, the Claws of Axos.  Artwork from warpedfactor.com
