Xenorama, the Podcast of Heroes and Monsters

In which X7 honors the memory of Ace Frehley with a review of Marvel Super Special #1, KISS! This is the first comic book story (not appearance, that happened in an issue of Man-Thing) from the band, all legal and such. He sure loved it as a young agent, and it still holds up! Lets rock and roll!

In which X7 talks too much about the 1967 movie The Equinox: A Journey into the Supernatural . Yes, he had to hear it a lot from about 2002 to 2005. Feel for him, we certainly do. The film itself is quite an accomplishment, overall, but it is not very polished. Aside from the effects, that is. We are glad it has been preserved, though. Let's roll!

In which we start our fourth year of podcasting! X7 reviews episodes 07-09 of The Savage Dragon ! He would like to see a different villain show up here and there, since Overlord all the time can be an overload! Still, we are early in the series, so let's roll!

In which X7 talks lovingly about a wonderful and super-scary movie, NIght/Curse of the Demon ! He really can't say enough good things about it, so don't expect too much critical commentary! Let's roll!

In which X7 gives his thoughts about the homage-parody movie Kung Fury ! He likes it (spoiler) overall, but could it sustain an actual feature movie? Listen and find out! Let's roll!

In which we return to our regular programming, and X7 tries to look at the Spanish movie, Sound of Horror ! We are taking a guess at the actual production date, as there are discrepancies about the release. Let's dig into this movie!

This is a bonus episode about the passing of Ace Frehley . He meant a lot to many people, including our humble agent. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends at this time. Rest in Peace, Ace.

In which X7 looks at the next four episodes of the excellent serial Zorro's Fighting Legion (1939)! The action ramps up here, and the plot moves further along. Let's ride!

In which X7 reviews a book he has had in his dinosaur library since 1971- The How and Why Wonder Book of Dinosaurs! He has had it so long the illustrations are almost old friends now. It was pretty accurate at the time of publication, so it is fun to see how our understanding of these magnificent animals has come. Let's roll!

In which X7 takes a look at the strange but effective horror-monster-psychological thriller, T he Attack of the Mushroom People, AKA Matango ! It is not his favorite Toho movie, or even in his top ten non-Godzilla movies, but it is a very good film. Let's roll!

In which X7 looks at the next three episodes of The Savage Dragon cartoon series! The villains' names are still not easy, but the heroes are growing on our humble agent. Let's roll!

In which X7 talks about an ant invasion from 1954- THEM ! Big-budget and great cast, it deserves all the accolades that it has gotten over seventy plus years. Lets roll!

In which X7 reviews the theatrical compilation movie Gatchaman The Movie (1978). It is an easy introduction to the series, and is a lot shorter than watching 105 episode of said series! Let's roll- Bird Go!

In which X7 talks about the ridiculously fun Elvira, Mistress of the Dark movie- her debut! Sure, he does have a very slight connection to Elvira, but that doesn't mean he has to like the movie! Watch and find out how!

In which X7 begins his review of the ONLY serial that featured Diego de la Vega as Zorro, Zorro's Fighting Legion (1939)! It is a Republic serial, meaning it has a lot of great fights and stunts! Let's ride!

In which X7 delves into the fascinating world of mail-order! These are actual items that were sold to kids all over the United States via comic books and monster magazines! They promised a lot... but we only knew a few friends who ever ordered anything, so we never knew if they were for real. Let's find out now!

In which X7 talks about the way Equinox impacted the film industry, albeit in ways the creators never imagined! The movie is pretty fun, kinda, but the effects take precedence over the story (sound familiar?) but who is watching for the story? Let's roll!

In which X7 starts a new animated series review, 1995's take on The Savage Dragon ! So far it is interesting, though if you have read the comics, you might know how the episodes will play out. X7 has never seen this series before, so this is brand new to him! Let's roll!

In which X7 reviews the comedy-mystery movie The Ghost and Mr. Chicken , from 1966. Some people call this a horror movie as well, but there is none of that here, just the trappings! It is fun, but is it one of X7's favorite Don Knotts ' movies? Watch (or listen) and find out!

In which X7 talks about a super-scary martial arts fantasy movie, Sakuya, Slayer of Demons (2000)! It sure is fun, but it sure needs a proper Blu Ray release. Let's see it, and let's roll!

In which we kick off the Hallowe'en season proper with a musical-horror-comedy movie, Mad Monster Party? (1967) X7 has seen this a couple times, but apparently quite enjoyed it this viewing. Lots of fun to be had!

In which X7 bids a fond farewell to the classic 70s kidvid series, The Land of the Lost ! These are the final two episodes, and he will miss the series. Perhaps the third season not as much, but it is still entertaining! Let's roll!

In which X7 talks about the great book by the great Bill Apter, Is Wrestling Fixed? I Didn't Know It Was Broken! It is about his many years taking pictures and being in both the magazine and the wrestling industries. Bill talks candidly about the good times and a few bad times, and the book is highly entertaining and recommended!

In which X7 reviews a movie from 2019- a shock, we know! Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ! He is no turtle-head (is that what the fans are called?) but he did quite enjoy the movie. Listen and find out why! Also, thanks to Clashing Plaid for Be My Batgirl !

In which we bid a fond farewell to the 1986 Jonny Quest series. X7 has enjoyed it, as he has stated for a month. It sure could have been a lot worse, we'll tell you hwhat! Let's roll!
