Xenorama, the Podcast of Heroes and Monsters

In which X7 talks about the first live-action crossover/team-up he ever saw... the time when the Green Hornet visited Batman in Gotham City! Sure, the overall story could have been a bit more serious, but it was nice to see Kato and the Hornet show a lighter side. As of this episode, this is the only legit release of the Green Hornet on home video. Which is just sad. Atomic turbines to speed and l...

In which X7 talks about the very nice and cool Morrison Natural History Museum ! He went there last week, so here's the episode, along with a couple neat-o videos. It is a pretty short episode, which is fitting, it is a pretty small museum. It is full of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. Let's phase!

In which X7 talks about the wonderful cartoon Alakazam the Great! from 1961. It is the US version of Saiyūki (西遊記) from 1960. X7 saw it several times on television here in Fossil Bed whilst growing up, and it is lovely to see it in all the widescreen glory it deserves! The adaptation is well done, and deserves a nice Blu Ray release! Abra Kadabra!

In which X7 starts a new series, well, new from 1974 that is, the very underrated Valley of the Dinosaurs ! It had the misfortune of debuting on the exact same day as the amazing Land of the Lost, so go figure which one is better remembered. Aside from similar starting points, the two series are pretty different. This is a fun series, and it has lots of dinosaurs!

In which X7 talks about the wonderful sci-fi movie from 1953, It Came from Outer Space ! Svengoolie aired it last week, so naturally we review it this week! It is a great movie, easily top five science fiction movies of the decade. The cast is stellar, the direction and music is tops, and that alien is unique and not completely scary. We can't recommend the movie enough!

In which X7 looks at one of Jackie Chan's best movies, Drunken Master from 1978! There are so many fights in here it is almost too much a good thing, but it is a great movie. X7 got to see this and the sequel in the theater on a double feature and it was great! The righteous (drunken) man is invincible!

In which X7 listens to seven (count 'em, seven!) songs featuring sci-fi and comedy! There are some other things here and there, but overall, it is a fun episode to listen to! We highly recommend listening to the whole thing! Yeah yeah yeah... WOW!

In which X7 watches and reviews three more episodes of the wonderful Green Hornet show! We have another two-parter, and then a very interesting follow up. Lets roll, Kato!

In which X7 talks about his wonderful visit to Dinosaur Ridge. What fun it was! He was there ten years ago and included a few pictures from that visit as well. It was a lovely day and much fun was had by all, except maybe our tour guide, who had probably not planned on the more detailed questions our humble agent asked. This is no Land of the Lost!

In which we look at the final Three Stooges theatrical film, The Outlaws is Coming ! This is from 1965, and has a lot of familiar faces in it, and one that was about to become world famous, the late, great Adam West ! Sure, it isn't the classic Stooge line-up, and they do repeat many of the same gags, but it is an agreeable way to spend 90 minutes. Woo woo woo!

In which X7 looks at three more episodes of Kimba, and a special extra episode, which we will get into later on! We have enjoyed watched the entire series, but these would not have been the final two episodes we would have aired. Listen for X7's choice! Let's go, White Lion, for the final time in the 60s!

In which X7 returns to stop-motion dinosaurs, er, well, a stop-motion dinosaur in the mostly good The Beast from Hollow Mountain (1956). We like it, though it is mostly a standard "oater" or basic western for the most part. The movie does prove that everything really is better with dinosaurs in it!

In which X7 talks about the very enjoyable 1980 Chang Cheh movie, Flag of Iron , AKA Spearman of Death ! Both titles are quite appropriate as well. Now, the movie does have more talking than usual, but it also has a lot of fights. We mean, a LOT. X7 enjoyed this viewing quite a bit this time around. Let's get ready to start kung fu fighting!

In which X7 does a traditional "7 Song Friday" complete with a song he had never heard before! It is also Superman Day, so we do acknowledge that! Let's get ready to rock and roll!

In which X7 has an episode all about fire and doesn't use the the "fire fire fire" sound bite! Vert der ferk?! Still, these are three excellent episodes, and well worth the time to watch. We really would like to see the series released on Blu Ray, but thanks to that stupid movie, this seems like a pipe dream now. Let's roll, Kato!

In which X7 reviews the Comic Book History of Beer (2015)! It is informative and entertaining and highly recommended! In this episode, one Agent K makes her presence known, and is almost a co-host. She does stick around long, but she is most memorable! Sláinte mhaith!

In which X7 enjoys the movie The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes so much he launched right into the review! Be that as it may, the movie is a lot of fun, and we enjoy Dexter Riley a lot. Enough to watch two more movies featuring him and his friends! Watch the review, or take a chance at getting de-rezzed!

In which X7 talks about episodes 46-50 in this, the penultimate episode about the series! These are some pretty cool episodes, complete with unusual surprises, though the title card gives you a few spoilers! Go, White Lion!

In which X7 reviews the perfectly acceptable 1957 movie, The Deadly Mantis . We wish it was a bit shorter, but it made a fair bit of money, so what do we know? Still, it moves along quickly, and there is a lot of the "monster" in it. It'll do, Donkey, it'll do!

In which X7 debuts his first Jackie Chan movie review, which was Jackie's first big hit! It is indeed Snake in The Eagle's Shadow , from 1978. It is an excellent movie, filled with lots of martial arts and comedy, along with a bit of drama! It is not filled with wire-fu, which makes X7 happy. It is great! Everybody is kung fu fighting here!

In which X7 plays seven songs... live! He leaves the mistakes in and all, because he is just that punk rock- even at this new vintage! Let's rock and roll!

In which X7 reviews three more action-packed episodes of The Green Hornet! They showcase the arsenal of the Black Beauty a bit more in these episodes. She sure lives up to both her name and her nickname! Lets roll, Kato!

In which X7 reviews FOOM (Friends of Ol' Marvel) issue #12, which just so happens to feature his favorite superhero, The Vision! FOOM was a great fan-oriented, Marvel produced magazine. Plus, you got to say you were a friend of Marvel! I sure wish they would reprint these issues. It would be fun to see them again, and all the ones we missed. Avengers, Assemble!

In which X7 reviews the first of several comedy movies for April, the hilarious comedy Road To Utopia ! Learn about it here! We did talk about the movie was back in episode 54, well over 400 episodes ago! X7 does know a bit more about podcasting, doesn't he? It is still a great movie, and we hear more about when he first saw it Put 'er there, pal, put 'er there!

In which X7 talks about five rather meaningful episodes of Kimba The White Lion! The Roger Ranger storyline is wrapped up, which, coincidentally wraps up Tonga the Crazy Huntress storyline! We see made up monsters and real monsters, and even more of Kimba's adventures in the city. Go, White Lion!
