Xenorama, the Podcast of Heroes and Monsters

In which we learn to make shorter parts, in the hopes frikkin' clip champ works better. Ooops. Be that as it may, X7 reviews the fun and well-done Battle Beyond the Stars (1980)! He saw it in the theater, and what a cast! Let's roll!

In which X7 reviews a mostly fun semi-peplum movie, The Conqueror of Atlantis ! It might be the only Herakles movies out there. He also continues to have issues with his recording service, but may have figured it out. Watch and find out! Let's roll!

In which X7 experiences more issues with his recording software (the heck) while he reviews a personal Disney favorite 1967's The Jungle Book ! He is investigating other versions, but we will see. Be that as it may, we have to look for the bare necessities, and then your life will rest at ease! Let's swing into it!

In which X7 reviews the second issue of Seaboard's short-lived monster magazine, Movie Monsters #2! Dr. Zaius is barely in the zine, which makes the cover great, but quite questionable as a choice. Be that as it may, it is fun, and let's roll!

In which X7 reviews the fun if not really scary The Mummy's Hand (1940)! This was a new series in response to the the financial success of the revival of the Frankenstein series with Son of Frankenstein and The Invisible Man series with The Invisible Man Returns . So Universal Studios tried with Kharis, and succeeded for a time! Let's roll!

In which X7 talks about the 1988 animated take on the Man of Steel- Superman ! It only ran 13 episodes, and was still a bit hampered by morons who thought punches were too "violent"- even if it was a robot! It is a lot of fun, overall, though! Up, up, and away!

In which X7 reviews the tenth film in the Godzilla Series, Godzilla's Revenge (1969)! It is also one of his favorite movies, so don't expect him to bad-mouth the movie. Homer might bad mouth some fans, though! You will have to watch and find out why! Let's roll!

In which X7 flexes his critical might and discusses the fun peplum Hercules Against the Moon Men ! This 1964 film came late in the sword and sandal cycle (say that three times fast!) so it has a different hook than other movies in the series. Let's rock!

In which X7 talks about Romy and Michele's High School Reunion for longer than he thought he would. This does NOT bode well for the eventual Josie and the Pussycats (2001) review, does it? Be that as it may, this movie is ever so fun, so let's rock and roll!

In which X7 takes us through four more episodes of Kikaider! They are the usual stuff at this point in the series, but one episode does add a bit of a surprise! Watch and find out which one! Switch on!

In which X7 reviews the first issue of the short-lived monster-zine Movie Monsters! It is a shame it didn't last. Hear some reasons why it, and the Atlas/Seaboard line didn't make it in this very episode! Let's read!

In which X7 reviews The Saga of the Viking Women and their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent (1958)! The title is almost as long as the movie! It is a fun adventure movie that he would have loved as a kid and teenager (probably for several different reasons) and likes it a lot. Watch and find out why! Set sail and go!

In which X7 explores the final two episodes of The Savage Dragon ! Good ending overall, and an enjoyable series overall. Look it up if you can and let us know why you like it or not in the comments! Let's roll!

In which X7 dives into the fun pulp adventure movie The Warlords of Atlantis (1978)! He saw it in the theater back then with his brother, and a good time was had by all! Get your diving suit ready, and plunge down!

In which X7 reviews one of his favorite peplum movies ever, 1963's Hercules, Samson & Ulysses ! There is no magic or monsters in here, but that matters not! Watch and find out why this movie is awesome! Also, notice that X7 makes no references to the 80s band 707. What restraint!

In which X7 tries a new thing- videos! Let's see if they stand, and if they don't, we do apologize. There should be three different ones, but one never knows about copyright law. We do respect that! Let's rock and roll!

In which X7 walks us through four more episodes of Kikaider: Android of Justice ! What a show! These four are pretty much in the formula, but don't worry, this will not last. We also find out what The Dark is up to overall, sorta! Ready? Switch on!

In which X7 gives us a look at the excellent 1978 book Day of the Dinosaur , by John Man. It is very current for the time, and actually talks about new theories about our favorite "terrible lizards" as well. There is some great art, though some of it is of an older vintage! Look for a cat cameo as well!

In which X7 reviews the final black and white movie in Ray Harryhausen's oeuvre (well, not the last one, but the final one we need to see) The Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (1956)! It is not X7's favorite Harryhausen film, but it has a lot of great things in it! Let's roll!

In which X7 reviews episodes 22-24, in the penultimate episode of The Savage Dragon series. There is one fascinating episode in this batch, which could have been a season all by itself! Wanna know which one? Ya gotta listen! Let's roll!

In which X7 talks about one of his favorite dai kaiju movies, The X From Outer Space! Made by Shochiku in 1967, it features a charmingly silly monster, Guilala. Listen and find out why he loves it!

In which X7 talks about a fun peplum from 1961, Hercules and the Captive Women . Sure, there are no captive women in this movie, but don't mind that! The movie works well, if you watch it as it was intended to be seen! Let's roll!

In which X7 watches and listens to the 1975 version of the 1966 Broadway musical It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman ! What an experience this is. It doesn't have a great following, but the cast is good, the music is swell, and... well, that is about it. Watch and learn why! Up, up, and away!

In which X7 reviews the next set of episodes from Jinzo Ningen Kikaida , and wonders again just what Professor Gill wanted with his evil plans. He will be doing more research about this! Ready? Switch on!

In which X7 reviews the first rock and roll magazine that changed his worldview- CREEM ! America's Only Rock and Roll magazine! This was from September of 1981, and our young agent was not prepared for what was inside. Let's rock and roll!
