what's with the episode numbers?
I love the unapologetically enthusiastic tone of this podcast, and the adorably nerdy and pure bromance between the hosts. As a Lovecraft fan, I couldn't love it more - I've learned quite a few things and have been inspired to reread some of his stories.
Really great, fantastic show fellas! One of my favorite stories of all time recapped and analyzed masterfully.
Despite HP's overplayed use of the hair thing, I felt that the story was woven together quite nicely. I was so into it that I found myself reading out loud in an antebellum southern accent. I know you guys were so cynical about it that you didn't care by the end but you completely glossed over his escape through the front lawn and his turning back to see the horrors behind him. I also chuckled when the "final" horror was revealed. It's just too silly to be taken seriously. Maybe he wrote that line with a specific audience in mind?
You know... I didn't think this story was as bad as you guys were making it out to be... until I listened to you guys run your mouths about how bad it was. Indeed, there were a lot of unexplained details and nonsensical plot elements. However, with all that being said, if someone were so inclined I think this story could be turned into a pretty great comedy flick. There are plenty of opportunities for physical comedy and wacky dialogue, especially if the main story is intended to be serious drama. It would end up being like something from ZAZ.
with no vocal preamble, I was slightly confused as to what I was hearing. I don't read the descriptions because all is explained in the audio.
everything before episode 354 is suddenly missing
there is an awesome death metal band called Inferi that was a new album called Of Sleepless Realms that is very Lovecraft themed. there is a song about cthulhu called Aeons Torn.
to lop output be l pop ll
next decade huh!
more like cnn poisoning. .......was nice listening to you guys. bye.
When I hear all the podcasts, I hope they include everything from the Eldrich Tales and Dunwich Horror and not just the Necronomicon
This is my absolute favorite podcast ever! It's all iI listen to at this point lol
I found your podcast and I am loving it. It's just what I've been looking for.
.....And Poe gets blamed for imitating Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poetry style....
the Monster chart is from a movie from the 70's called The Monster Club
Glad to hear you fellas were both disturbed by, yet enjoyed, Screwfly Solution. The other fans who recommended it were right. Fits in well with this show.
thanks for this
You guys mention that the end of the story seems like a reunion of sorts. Juan Romero returning to his original form. I kind of saw it as Juan being driven toward the open abyss like a madness to be a sacrifice. The Hindu ring awakened because the abyss opened and the mystical or magical powers within seeped out.
I felt that The White Ship was a story about a watchman who fell asleep on the job, had a great dream, but like dreams, the world intrudes and becomes part of it just as you wake up... this being the white ship breaking on the rocks because he failed to keep the lighthouse lit.
