Episode 18: Time Keeps on Slippin'...Into the Future

If you're reading this, it means you made it! Congratulations and welcome to 2019. Your Planet 8 crew survived multiple attacks by Zanti misfits and those creeps on Planet 9, and have put together a retrospective show on 2018 -we look back on the movies and shows that came out this last year. You might be surprised by some of our favorites, and the ones we thought missed the mark. We also salute those genre actors, artists, and others who left us in 2018. Finally, we discuss what we're most excited about in this new year. Which movies and TV shows are high on the Planet 8 crew's list? You'll have to listen to find out!

For our Sensor Sweep, Mission Commander Larry brings to our attention the small but deadly Infinity Gauntlet Mini from Hot Toys (you can find the details here:
https://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectibles/marvel-infinity-gauntlet-hot-toys-903359/). This little beauty looks just like the shiny glove that wiped out half the universe in Avengers: Infinity War. It stands about 6.5" high, and it even has light-up features. Want to impress and/or terrify your co-workers? Put this on your desk!

This episode's Sensor Sweep is presented by Chief Engineer Bob. He reviews a fascinating book, Where Monsters Walked: California Locations of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, 1925 - 1965 by Gail and Raymond Orwig. It is a must-have for anyone who is a genre film buff that always wondered where classic and cult movies were filmed. The Orwigs tracked down scores of locations in California, and the book has photos comparing then and now. Famous sites such as Bronson Caves and Vasquez Rocks are included, along with many lesser known gems. It's a perfect companion for a California road trip. This book can be found at Amazon.com or from the publisher, McFarland Books.

Thanks for listening!
