Xenorama, the Podcast of Heroes and Monsters

In which X7 reviews a very low-key sci-fi movie from 1958, The Space Children ! It is thoughtful and has an interesting (for the time) twist at the end. Well shot and well-acted, plus a great cast of people we will all recognize! Let's roll!

In which X7 presents a rarity- a Shaw Brothers movie that not that great- Disciples of the 36th Chamber. Sure, there are some things to enjoy, but overall this is a major disappointment. Yes, even compared to Return to the 36th Chamber ! Let's roll!

In which X7 talks about seven songs spanning the 50s to the 2000s! How great is that? He sure does end with a banger, though! Let's rock and roll!

In which X7 looks at three more episodes of the third season of The Land of the Lost. .. and boy, this was mostly a chore. There were a few some good things here, but... well, listen and find out why this season is mostly dire! Let's roll! Also, Will sings again!

In which X7 reviews Directed by Jack Arnold , a book from 1988, written by Dana M. Reeves. We had no idea the book was that old, but it holds up excellently. It is very complete, though we would have liked a bit more on his television career than they did, but really, the movies are great. Let's roll!

In which X7 talks about a sequel just doesn't quite live up to the original, Superargo and the Faceless Giants ! This 1968 movie does have a different plot, but it does lack a certain... "Je ne sais quoi" but we have some thoughts! Listen and find out- let's roll!

In which X7 reviews the next three episodes of The New Adventures of Jonny Quest , 07 through 09! This will be the penultimate episode of this series review, and these are pretty good episodes. If you listen to the entire episode, you can hear X7 acknowledge a goof he makes! Let's roll!

In which X7 reviews what was a staple of late-night telly here in Fossil Bed, Tarantula ! It is a pretty decent arthropod on the loose movie, and there is a lot to like about it! Let's roll!

In which X7 talks about the entertaining, if very predictable, High Kick Girl (2009)! The fights are very well done, and there are no stunt doubles! The story is serviceable, watch and find out how! Let's roll!

In which X7 celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)! He doesn't get too into the weeds about the movie itself, but rather the way he got to know it and saw it. He also speaks about the last time he saw in in a theater. Let's roll!

In which X7 reviews one good episode and two rather "by the numbers" episodes of Season Three of Land of the Lost. They are not bad, but they are not season one or even season two. Alas, shortsighted TV execs ruin shows constantly. Let's roll!

In which X7 reviews one of the two books he got while he was in Moab, Utah! This is an excellent primer for newbies, and even us more experienced dinosaur enthusiasts! Let's dig into the book!

In which we visit Earth-462 with X7, and he didn't even need a Cosmic Treadmill to do it! Watch Wonder Woman from 1974 and see how ABC blew it with the first try, but they sure made up for it a year later. Be that as it may, the movie certainly isn't terrible. Let's roll and find out why!

In which X7 reviews the second set of Jonny Quest episodes from 1986! These are some good episodes, and they even somehow manage to get the time travel aspect done right! Watch and find out!

In which X7 talks quite a lot about his favorite Godzilla movie, Destroy All Monsters (1968). We mean a LOT about it. There are even two trailers to watch, so let's roll!

In which X7 gets us back on track with a review of three more episodes of Land of the Lost season three. One of them is great. The other two... well... Let's roll!

In which X7 takes us to the land of the Moab Giants, and has a lot of fun doing it. This made the entire trip to Moab worth it! Let's roll!

In which Xy wants us to know he did NOT talk the ears off Jeffrey (not his real name) at the visitor center of Utahraptor State Park today! See, he can learn some dino-manners (play on words there, you know)! Utah is a beautiful state, but 7 is ready to go back to good ol' Fossil Bed! Let's roll!

In which X7 regales us with his adventures in Moab, Utah! It wasn't that exciting, but it was a lot of fun. It is rather surprising that there are not more dinosaurs (and other prehistoric animals, I'll tell you hwhat) in the city proper. We do have theories, and bunnies are not involved at all. Be that as it may, let's roll!

In which X7 cobbles together an episode about dinosaurs, since he is on location in Moab, Utah, circa the 18th century. Or that is what he is telling us. Tomorrow he will have more about the actual city. Let's roll!

In which X7 starts a new series, The New Adventures of Jonny Quest ! The show was from 1986, and ran 13 episodes. It was part of the The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera , and is easily the best series from that package. X7 admits to his original thoughts on the show being quite wrong, and he is happy about that! Let's roll!

In which X7 takes a look at the last Creature movie, The Creature Walks Among Us from 1956! He loves the Creatch, but this movie is not great. There are good bits to it, but even at the short running time, they are far between the sleazy boredom of the rest of the movie. Let's dive in!

In which X7 looks at grappling as a martial art, where Maciste takes on the Cyclops... eventually! Atlas in the Land of the Cyclops made the rounds here in Fossil Bed a time or two, then was consigned to lousy fullscreen VHS tapes in the 90s. This is a far better copy! Let's roll with some rocks!

In which X7 reviews a charming movie from 1965, Dear Brigitte ! It has an all-star cast, including a cameo from the titular star, and it is funny and gentle. Let's roll!

In which we end our journey in season 2 and begin our sojourn through season 3 of The Land of the Lost ! Let us know what you think about this earth-shattering season in the comments!
