683. RT Rewind: August 1996 Reviews
Description
We’re going back to August 1996 – that’s a bit of distance – to take a peek at the new releases and the book reviews in Romantic Times magazine.
We’re back in the era of time travel, a scifi imprint named Avonova, and probable worms.
NSFW worms.
As usual, we learn astonishing amounts of unexpected information from this magazine. For example: we’re both obsessed with the 1996 movie Twister and we have many thoughts on tornadoes.
Content warnings: the following episode contains discussions of large worms, racist language in 29 year old reviews, and spiders.
Worm discussion: 5 minutes long at 35:00
Spider discussion: 47 seconds long at 45:00
We also mentioned:
- The Galactic Gourmet has its own Wiki page.
- NSFW! Google Search “the fat inkeeper”
- NSFW! Urechis unicinctus – the worm
- The Monterrey Bay Aquarium: “The fat innkeeper worm: your shelter-in-place inspiration”
- The Mummers Parade Wiki page
