The 200th "Ham-Fisted Radio" podcast — in which host Dawn Taylor is feted/analyzed by pals Eric D. Snider, Bobby Roberts, Jaime Kirk and yrs. truly. This episode can be enjoyed as Dawn in the studio, alone, with the rest of us playing assorted voices in her head.
(Also my first time in the “Cort and Fatboy” studios since that show ended 10 months ago.)
Thanks for having us, Dawn, and congratulations.
Ham-Fisted Radio, Episode 200: Thank You For Being a Friend (Oct. 7, 2013)
The intrepid Dawn Taylor asked D.K. Holm and I to appear on her "Ham-Fisted Radio" podcast -- and we ended up talking with her and Fatboy Roberts for damn near two hours. I'm just going to cabbage Dawn's description of this episode right off her site:
___________
On this epic, feature-length episode, Dawn Taylor and Fatboy Roberts are joined by film critic/comic artist Mike Russell and author/critic/debonair gent D.K. Holm. Among the vast, mostly cinema-related topics covered:
- The new John Travolta action flick, From Paris With Love;
- The number of British and Australian actors working in U.S. television, and the difficulties of acting while doing an accent;
- The sadness of Harrison Ford's career;
- A special "Ask the Experts" segment with listener questions;
- Much film-geek wonkery about Apocalypse Now's aspect ratio;
- Restored "director's cuts" that we'd love to see;
- Our long-winded advice on starting an writing career;
- ... and oodles of Oscar talk.

Two separate podcast appearances by yours truly this week:
• CORT AND FATBOY: We played movie-catchup during the Friday, Dec. 4 show -- talking about "The Road," "Fantastic Mr. Fox," "Ninja Assassin," "The Messenger," and "Boondock Saints" (and its hit-piece companion documentary "Overnight"). Also discussed: Douglas Adams. It's worth noting that this week's "Fan Fiction Friday" is so twisted and wrong, it audibly sapped me of my will to live.
• HAM-FISTED RADIO: I also enjoyed a long, leisurely sit-down with host Dawn Taylor and engineer Fatboy Roberts on Dawn's new podcast, "Ham-Fisted Radio." We rambled on about: our favorite underperforming movies of 2009; the cultural overdose on cuteness; hummingbirds; gorgets; John McLoughlin; the strange utterances of Bill Mudron; community newspapering; and Wes Anderson, among other things.
