HTP Episode 156 – Katie Leigh

Katie Leigh is a voice actress known for work on Darkwing Duck, The Real Ghostbusters, Gummi Bears, and Adventures in Odyssey…. And I get to fanboy out a little over her performance as Young Han Solo in Lego Star Wars: The Padawan Menace. She comes to Hungry Trilobyte to put a little perspective on the differences between voice acting in the 80s and today, and how fan convention culture has brought creators and the audience together into a community.

Be sure to check out Katie’s full list of work at IMDb. You can follow Katie on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, as well as her official website. Be sure to check out her webseries Tell Ya Later.

He comes to Hungry Trilobyte to discuss his take on riffing and writing, and our conversation eventually turns to a love of cinema as an art form– and how riffing lifts that art form up.

HTP Episode 153 – Jarrod Alberich Returns… With An Empty Nest

Jarrod Alberich (last seen in episodes 80 and 113) teams up with me to discuss season 1 of the 1980s sitcom Empty Nest. Why? Because we think re-watching this show to see if it holds up might be a good observation on what quality TV really is.

We found a really good source on YouTube for the show itself, and during the conversation, it came to light that the character of Joe Isuzu pre-dated David Leisure‘s portrayal of mooching neighbor Charley Deitz.

HTP Episode 152 – Amelia Eichler

Amelia Eichler is a film enthusiast and has a passion for the history of moviemaking and movie distribution. In 2019, she wrote an undergrad thesis on the decline of physical media and the impact it’s had on current and future film scholars. I share a lot of Amelia’s concerns and was eager to have her on the show to discuss the accessibility problems introduced by streaming.

During this chat, we reference the court case United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc. and the subsequent reversal of that ruling, and the impact of both.

HTP Episode 140 – Austin Trunick

Austin Trunick is a film enthusiast and author of the two-volume series The Cannon Film Guide, soon to be expanding into its third volume. Austin and I spend some time talking about the history of the Cannon Film Group, and how their brand of cheap action films fit into the larger movie culture of the 80s. This involves a lot of comparing notes about early video rental places prior to the transition to DVD. We also dig drive-ins like the Mahoning Drive-In and the Circle Drive-In.

And seriously, can anyone tell me how A-Treat wound up in Raw Deal?

HTP Episode 100 – Larry Nemecek

 

Larry Nemecek has been around the Star Trek fandom in so many capacities… as a writer, editor, podcaster, and even as McCoy himself in Star Trek Continues.  In this episode of Hungry Trilobyte, we’re excited for the premiere of the second season of Lower Decks and amused by the joke about the Tom Paris collector’s plate… which made us remember the Collectible Plate fad of the 80s and 90s.  

That spins into a slightly deeper discussion of how fan trends come and go, and how generations of fans sometimes look at the same concepts very differently.  

Be sure to tune in to Larry’s podcast Portal 47 .  You can also follow him on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, and find all his info on his official website.

His most recent campaign has secured 1921’s Straight is the Way. In this episode of Hungry Trilobyte, Edward and I discuss how today’s tools are great resources for fans of lost film, how he’s a model for anyone trying to serve film history, and the technical marvel that was early cinema.

Peter David is an extremely talented author, writing for many great franchises such as Star Trek, X-Men, Superman, Babylon 5, and many other worlds he created.  Peter is also a long-time fan of science fiction, and has a great perspective on how fandom changed from the early days of conventions though today.  In this episode, he and I have a great talk that includes the transition between Star Trek: TOS and Star Trek: TNG, and how the Vietnam War made for a different perspective between the two shows.  We also reflect on rivalries between fandoms, how it’s often an illusion, but also ways in which those rivalries can be very real.

You may have started to get hungry during our discussion of ribs and rib parties… if so, the Atlanta-based rib place we were discussing is Fat Matt’s Rib Shack . Fried chicken can be found at The Colonnade.

If you’d like to check out some of his books, consider starting with Q-Squared, Imzadi, or Pulling Up Stakes.  You’d also do well to check out his independently-published books at Crazy 8 Press, a writing consortium.

You can follow Peter at his official website, as well as on Facebook and Twitter.  For some extra content, you can back his Patreon account.
