What We Watched LIVE!- CENTURIONS, DINO RIDERS, DINOSAUCERS

The second part of my Con-G 2013 updates!

So most of you are familiar with a little show I produce called What We Watched. Well, back when I was invited to Con-G as a guest, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and perform the show live as a panel. To fit it into the time slot, I decided to talk about not one, but *THREE* shows!

THE CENTURIONS!

DINO RIDERS!

DINOSAUCERS!

So sit back and watch this two part video, and learn the amusement of power armour and robot battles, dinosaur-riding telepaths fighting aliens, and idiotic dinosaur shapeshifters.  Yee haw.

GODZILLA: THE SERIES (What We Watched)

Yeehaw, kids! Its Saturday morning, and this is Derek the Bard back with another episode of What We Watched, the show laser-targeted at your brain's nostalgia gland! Well, I've got a new episode up this week, and its just in time for that most important day for all cartoons...SATURDAY MORNING! Ok, at least its Saturday morning where I am right now, holed up in the manly yet somehow also awesome Bardcave.

Back in 1998 there was a terrible Roland Emmerich movie starring Matthew Broderick trying to deal with a giant monster that people kept inexplicably calling "Godzilla", despite the fact that at no point in time did it ever breath radioactive fire or get into a fist fight with Gigan. Well, it was Adelaide Productions to the rescue with its cartoon tie-in! Not only does this series create a whole new Godzilla mythos for an American audience, it captures the power and majesty of the original Japanese films while still paying subtle homage to them.

So sit back with your bowl of Captain Crunch and a bottle of Yoo-Hoo, because for the next 25 minutes I'm going to (re-)introduce you to...GODZILLA: THE SERIES!

THE LAUNDRY FILES (Warning! Readers Advisory!)

Well, friends, its time for us to finally bring the Summer...I mean SEASONS...of Lovecraft to a close. We've been on a long ride these last 8 episodes, looking at various flicks from Lovecraftian film canon. To close things off, lets take a look at a series of novels, shall we? Thus we present the 9th, and final, installment of our little tale of woe as we crack open...
