Mike You are trying to think of “rock and rule”
a canucky production
Have not heard of ‘Rock & Rule’. I was trying to think of ‘American Pop’. A movie with the same style of animation as Heavy Metal, but with a sound track of 70’s music telling the story.
I’m going to assume that the Arizona heat has fried your brains and you really didn’t intend to make stupid comments about West Virginia and Kentucky. Other than that, great show as usual.
Never heard of Rock & Rule?
’tis a classic. (or at least what memory makes of it

A slight correction for the show notes: He would be a great A-list director if ADV and Gainax could get him but James Cameron is working on “Battle Angel Alita”, another very good sci-fi manga and anime property, not “Evangelion”.
Not quite sure where Summer came up with the James Cameron reference in the Evangelion story. It wasn’t part of my original submitted Show Notes. Probably just a slip of the tongue from a very tired Summer. I know that it was a long and grueling recording session that particular Saturday with several technical difficulties that kept cropping up taking the gang to the limits of their patience (which, if you listen closely to the show, you will be able to tell slight variations in the quality due to the problems encountered, but I think Mike deserves a big round of applause because his expertise still got the show out on schedule and in overall good quality, inspite of the difficulties and frayed nerves).
But thanks for clearing that minor slip-up for our listening audience.
golf clap for mike then
I missed the questions and answers for the trivia on the 26th of July show. is there some way that I can get a copy of them? Thanks.
I listen to you on xm, and drive over the road. I entered a tunnel just as you were going into that slice of the show. You have a great show, keep it up guys.
Typos are what happen when you post the show at 3am, having crawled out of bed after waking up and remembering that you forgot to post the show at midnight like you should have.
I promise to try very hard not to confuse my anime adaptations in the future.
You don’t remember Wrong Turn? Eliza Dushku, a white t-shirt, chased by madmen in the woods of West Virginia… What’s not to love?
