All-Star Movie GOOD GUYS - Team Tournament Breakdown

Our 2nd All-Star Team that isn't based on comic book characters! These Movie Good Guys we decided on is still being debated, but as I stated at the beginning of this tournament, each team is being created to be the most formidable they can be. So take a look at these guys!

The Terminator T-800 - Arnold Schwarzenegger's most popular role and one of my top favorite all time movies (Terminator 2: Judgment Day)!!!! He's a cybernetic organism (Cyborg) with a neural net processor (a learning computer), so he has all the capabilities of a killing machine, IE enhanced strength and durability. He's nearly unstoppable, being made of a metal alloy that is nearly unbreakable, plus his CPU allows him, or "it" rather, to be an expert marksman and target multiple enemies. In this situation, the T-800 is armed to the teeth with a mini-gun (like in the Cyberdyne scene in T2) and a plasma rifle the Terminators use in the future.




Predator - another movie with a great Schwarzenegger role! Predator is one of my favorite movies from the 1980's and still holds up today as a great action movie. Predator is from a race of aliens that are obsessed with hunting and have become master intergalactic game hunters. They've traveled the universe collecting trophies of every species they see as a target. For instance, in the first Predator movie, the Predator stalks Arnold's special forces team, picking them off one at a time and cleaning their skulls as trophies. We see a better example of this in Predator 2 (underrated sequel) when Danny Glover stumbles into the Predator's space ship and sees the trophy room. Predator sees in heat vision, making him born to hunt. His helmet heightens that vision, although it's been proven that his enemies can hide from his sight by somehow camouflaging their body heat. He also has a laser blaster mounted to his shoulder. He can target enemies with this laser, using his helmet. Predator also carries a variety of weapons, including a retractable metal-like razor sharp spear, razor sharp disc-shaped throwing blades that he can throw and then come back to him, and foot long retractable blades that come out of his gauntlet on his right arm. On top of all of this, Predator has a portable CPU attached to one of his gauntlets. This CPU can allow him to turn nearly invisible and, if Predator falls in battle, can cause an explosion with a detonation as powerful as a nuclear blast.






Neo - the One. From the Matrix. He's the Superman of that universe. The only one capable of seeing the Matrix for exactly what it is and manipulate it for his own needs. In this instance, all of his powers Neo has in the Matrix are available to him for this fight. Neo is a master of all martial arts, and if ever encountered by a form of fighting he's never seen, he can have the knowledge instantly downloaded directly to his brain. He has super strength and speed, can dodge bullets and punch through solid stone. He's also a master of weaponry, with the same ability that he has with fighting.




Robocop - another cyborg, but this time his humanity is what drives him. Robocop is a man, reborn with a cyborg body. He has enhanced strength and is nearly invulnerable. He is a master marksman, with his CPU allowing him to perfectly target enemies. He can analyze an enemy's offense and within moments can devise a defense against them. His left thigh also acts as a holster for his high-powered hand gun that can go from semi-automatic to fully-automatic in an instant.





Rambo - John Rambo was just a soldier returning from Vietnam, who was abused and harassed by a local sheriff while passing through town as a drifter. Instead of just taking it, Rambo fought back. Then he was sent into enemy territory to rescue prisoner's of war. Rambo is a great representation of Hollywood sensationalism. Rambo; First Blood is a great movie and actually has a message with it about how we treated our vets returning from war. A lesson that people still need to learn today. In First Blood Part 2, we got to see why Rambo was a war hero to begin with. With each movie, Rambo became even more ridiculously sensational. The last Rambo movie is incredibly violent and Over The Top (see what I did there? I mentioned another terrible Stallone movie that I love) action scenes and terrible dialogue. Bottom line here is that Rambo is an awesome hero with a buttload of battle expertise. He could work as the team's battle commander and call the shots while being a fierce fighting force on his own.





Ash from the Evil Dead - Ash is a reluctant hero, but still a great hero regardless of his situation. He's battled demons, ghosts, and the Army of Darkness all with one hand stuck to a chainsaw and his boomstick (double barreled shotgun). Ash is also a real tough guy, who is able to take a lickin and keep on tickin. Remember! Shop smart. Shop S-Mart!





Jack Slater the Last Action Hero - another Schwarzenegger role and, arguably, his most underrated role. I loved this movie. It's full of great action scenes, and hilarious comedy bits. Arnold has some really great lines. Jack Slater is the ULTIMATE action movie hero. He can't be killed, he's super strong, a master marksmen, and is uniquely durable. By that I mean, he has "movie durability", so no matter how terrible he's hurt and seems close to death, it becomes a flesh wound and he survives.





The Odds:
This is a fun and interesting team! They have a lot of power and fighting experience, and with a battle hardened Rambo as their field commander, could really be a tough fight.

YOUNG JUSTICE - Team Tournament Breakdown



The First team of our second bracket is another version of the Teen Titans, but with a different lineup. Young Justice was/is the name of a cartoon show that focuses on the sidekicks and young versions of your favorite DC superheroes. This is going to be another tough team to beat. Let's take a look at the players.

Robin (Tim Drake) - The 3rd Robin and one of the smartest members of Young Justice. Tim Drake was Bruce Wayne's neighbor, and after an accident that killed his mother and left his dad in a catatonic state, was taken in by Bruce and Alfred. While staying with them, he was able to deduce Bruce Wayne's night-time activities as Batman. Bruce was very impressed and began training Tim to be his next Robin. Tim wasn't as talented as Dick Grayson, but proved to be better with technology and detective work. He's been trained by Batman, the world's greatest detective and master of martial arts, so he's physically formidable. But, also like Batman, Tim is human and therefore as durable and immune to attacks as humans are. He carries an assortment of gadgets and wields a bo staff.  He's also the team's strategist, but he's also still young and NOT as good as Batman or Dick Grayson (Nightwing) so the chance of him making a mistake is greater than both of them.




Superboy (Conner Kent) - back in the 90's there was the Death of Superman storyline, after which came the Reign of Superman storyline that introduced 4 new contenders for the Superman title. Superboy is actually a clone of Superman. Clark Kent's body was taken from it's crypt a couple of times after he was buried, one of those times was by Project Cadmus, a secret government funded research project buried in the mountains outside of Metropolis. There, Superman's DNA was obtained and cloned. Superboy was being grown in a tube, but was prematurely released before he could reach full adulthood. He has the same abilities as Superman, super strength, speed, invulnerability, and flight. But he is NOT Superman and so doesn't possess all of his powers like x-ray vision. He doesn, however, have an extra ability; tactile telekinesis. That means, by touching an object, he can sense it's weaknesses and take it apart with his mind. This is nearly instantaneous and doesn't not require much thought at all. When he first appeared, he wore red, blue, and yellow spandex underneath a black leather jacket and a piereced ear (hahaha that's the 90's for ya!). I like the Young Justice version, where his costume is jeans, sneakers and a black and red t-shirt with a Superman "S" on it.





Kid Flash (Bart Allen) - Barry Allen's great grandson from the future. Bart comes to the past to help continue his Great Grandfather's crusade. He's the team's speedster and nearly as fast as the original Flash, and comparable to Wally West. They all use their speed in similar ways.




Wondergirl - the young Wonder Woman and like Wonder Woman she has super strength, can fly and carries a mystic lasso.




Aqualad - the Aquaman of the group, and like Aquaman he has super strength, swim at superspeeds and can withstand underwater pressures which gives him super durability while on land.




Miss Martian - the younger, female version of Martian Manhunter and arguably the strongest member of the team. With strength comparable to Superboy, she is also a strong telepath and can shapeshift and even turn invisible.




Red Arrow (Speedy) - Green Arrow's protege. He's an archer that carries gimmicked arrows. Like Green Arrow, he's human, but at peak physical condition. He's athletic and tough, but also hot headed.



The Odds:
Young Justice is a young Justice League. But their power level isn't as high as the Justice League. Superboy, Miss Martian, Kid Flash and Aqualad all are very tough though and will be the toughest team members to beat, and the addition of Robin, and Red Arrow, their first round competitors are in for a fight!

#GoTMondays Tyrion = Secret Targaryan???

In preperation for my annual GoT series re-watch, I am gathering together my favorite theories to see if they hold any water. Today we're going to take a look at a controversial theory that says Tyrion Lannister might actually be a Targaryan.

You might have heard about this theory before, but if not, it's a good one. I, for one, don't believe it's true and think it's actually better story writing to make Tyrion, Tywin's true son. Tywin was all about mainting honor for his legacy and Tyrion was a constant thorn in his side. Often telling Tyrion that he was, "no son of mine".

Tyrion is one of the most popular characters in the Game of Thrones, and one of my personal favorites. He's a very complex character, leading a very tragic life. The hatred he felt from his father began at his birth. When, due to complications, Tyrion's mother Joanna died while giving birth to him. This was something both his father and sister would never let him live down, nor forgive him for.

Joanna herself must be mentioned as well. It is said that before her death, Tywin was a different man, but after she died Tywin "forgot how to laugh". Also, before Joanna's death, Tywin was Hand to King Aerys II aka the Mad King. Before he became known as the Mad King, Aerys was known to have quite a crush on Joanna. He was even overheard at the wedding of Joanna and Tywin, drunkenly saying, "..that it was a great pity that the lord's right to the first night had been abolished." The rest of the quote from the book went like this, "A drunken jape, no more, but Tywin Lannister was not a man to forget such words, or the...liberties your father took during the bedding." - from a convo between Daenarys and Ser Barristen Selmy in A Dance with Dragons. This doesn't necessarily mean that Aerys slept with Joanna that night, just that something DID happen. However, this was way to early before Tyrion was born.

It is, however, entirely possible that Aerys may have forced himself on her while she stayed in King's Landing while Tywin served as Hand. If this is true, it could be the real reason Twin hates Tyrion so much. George R.R. Martin is great at making his readers believe one characters feelings for another is for one reason but later their true feelings are revealed and it's not something the readers were thinking.

What are some other facts that could be evidence to support this theory? Well, let's look at Tyrion himself. When he was born, it was said that he had a tail, and looked deformed. I've read that Targaryans were often born with tails that would fall off before their first year, which made them believe even further that they were actual descendants of dragons. Tyrion has also mentioned, a few times, that he had dragon dreams. Dreams of him either flying on a dragon or flying AS a dragon. Now this could  be because of his fascination with dragons, and could have happened after reading several books combined with a child's overactive imagination. Plus, Tyrion was always incredibly smart, so reading about dragons and fanstasizing about riding one is not farfetched. He even asked his father for a dragon when he was a little boy. He tells this story to Dany's dragons while removing their chains last season. But from what I have read, the only people that have ever had dragon dreams are Targaryans. If Tyrion is the son of the Mad King and Dany's half brother, it would explain why her dragons took to him so quickly.

This theory also adds another (possible) head to the "the dragon has 3 heads" prophecy. If Dany is the Mother of Dragons and rides Drogon, and Jon is her nephew and rides Rhaegal (because his father was Rhaegar), then that leaves 1 person to ride Viserion. I would love it if Tyrion was the 3rd head of the dragon! He doesn't HAVE to be a Targaryan to ride a dragon though. There were many other dragonlords in Valyria along with the Targaryans, and Tyrion is smart enough to teach himself to become a dragonlord.

What do you think? Is Tyrion a secret Targaryan? If he is, what does that mean for his relationship with Daenarys? Does that improve his position? Maybe he'll become the Lord of Dragonstone instead of Casterly Rock?

Friday Night Fights- Team Tournament Ep. 2 Recap

Recording episode 2 of The Good Shit Podcast CLICK HERE TO LISTEN! was an emotional roller coaster. It was recorded on location at the same place where the idea for the podcast originated. Jimmy Nonas's garage. Many of hours of conversation have happened in that garage, and now we're recording it. Luck you haha.

We arrived in my hometown and settled in for an episode we were all very excited to talk about, and even recorded over an hour worth of of material until the laptop crashed and we lost everything we had just done. This has happened to me before, except that time I lost over 2 hours of an episode. So, needless to say, I was not happy. You can hear the anger and disappointment in my voice in the rest of the episode that we were able to keep. THAT was a roller coaster in itself. So we finished recording, and I started to upload the episode to soundcloud and the upload failed at 23%, then again at 24%, then again at 34%. It would finally upload without a problem after Austin and I had left and were on the highway. THEN the episode wouldn't play, saying, "no playable" and offering no full run time. Austin will back me up when I say that I was starting to freak out a bit. I am not one to freak out either. I was PISSED.

Anyway, one last desperate click on the play button miraculously worked and we could listen to our episode!!! BUT...the run time still wouldn't come up, so if you tried to fast forward or rewind, it would just start from the beginning. I was so mad, that my curse words weren't curse words anymore, "of all the rat-fartin, lizard lickin, piece of hairy cracker cookie buckets!" or something like that. I was done, I couldn't take anymore. So I took a deep breath, reset the app, and low and behold THE RUN TIME APPEARED! And all was well.

Despite all that trouble, we all had a great time recording everything. I have never seen Jimmy cry until yesterday, and I don't know if it was because he was in a lot of pain (most likely) or because he was laughing so hard, or both. Maybe both. This episode is worth listening to for that part alone. Listening to playback on the way home, Austin and I were cracking up! There's a few sound bytes from yesterday, that I hope you find while listening. Anyway, sorry for the long intro, here's the recap:

First match was an all-star team of Marvel Big Bad Guys (Red Skull, Dr. Doom, Dormammu, Loki, the Mandarin, Ultron, and Abomination) vs. The Inhumans (Black Bolt, Medusa, Karnak, Crystal, Gorgon, Inferno, and Maximus the Mad).  This was part of the stuff that was lost. It was a great discussion though. We really got deep about various ways the Inhumans could fight these villains, but ultimately the villains won. The more we talked about it, the more it became clear that the Marvel Bad Guys are just way too tough. It reminds me of one of my favorite comic book stories, Old Man Logan, where the villains all teamed up to kill all the heroes. And it worked!

Winner: Marvel Big Bad Guys. They are going to be a very tough team to beat.

Next up was He-Man & the Masters of the Universe (He-Man, She-Ra, Man-at-Arms armored with Roboto, Stratos, The Sorceress, Fisto, and Ram-Man) vs. the Justice League (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Shazam). Jimmy makes a good point early in the conversation, saying something like; for a fan, of course Superman would face off against He-Man. He's right. As an enormous fan of both characters. that was the fight I wanted to talk about the most. But we're not doing that. No, we're trying to find out who the best TEAM is and that includes actual battle strategy. So with Batman calling the shots, the Justice League would send Martian Manhunter up against He-Man, where his strength can stand up against He-Man's and he could morph into a dragon or something to keep He-Man busy.  Wonder Woman and She-Ra would face off, but after awhile Wonder Woman would win. The combo of Batman and Green Lantern would take care of Man-At-Arms even armored with a sentient robot (Roboto). Superman would easily take out Stratos, Fisto, and Ram-Man. The Sorceress, we decided, would cast a confuse spell on Shazam, and he would turn against his team, giving Superman something to deal with for a while.

What it came down to was He-Man and the Sorceress vs. the entire Justice League. Ultimately the Justice League wins. Even if we continued the discussion to the very end of the battle, eventually the Sorceress would be defeated; and He-Man would be forced to fight the full might of the Justice League on his own, until he died. Even if He-Man could land a killing blow on even one of the them, the sheer power of the League would still be too overwhelming.

Winner: The Justice League. Although, I think there's a stronger argument for He-Man and his buds that I missed out on. It probably wouldn't have made a difference though.

Next up came GiggleFest 2016! I mean, we laugh throughout the entire episode, but holy shit was this funny. The Thundercats (Lion-O, Panthro, Tygra, Cheetara, Wiley Kit & Kat, Jagara) vs. the Avengers (Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Spider-Man, the Hulk, Doctor Strange, and the Sentry). I'm not even going to write it out, you really have to listen to it. Even if you don't want to listen to the whole episode, skip to minute 22. That's where this fight discussion starts as do the Jimmy giggles. Adorable.

Sorry, Jim, if we made you hurt too much. I hope you're feeling better.

Winner: The Avengers. duh.

Last but not least was the best fight of the tournament so far! AND I was actually SHOCKED by the outcome. Another must listen! It was the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Allan Quatermain, Mina Harker, Mr. Hyde, the Invisible Man II, James Bond, Captain Nemo, and Harry Potter) vs. the Universal Movie Monsters (Count Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, the Mummy, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Wolf Man, the original Invisible Man, and King Kong). Probably the most evenly matched fight of the night, we had Harry Potter shrinking King Kong to a normal sized Gorilla, which Allan Quatermain and James Bond would be able to take care of, while Harry fought the Mummy in an epic magic battle that Harry would eventually win. Dracula would be attacked by Mina Harker and the fight would be a good one until Harry Potter finished off the Mummy and Dracula decided he needed to focus on the LoEG's main threat, and kills Mina Harker. Hyde and Frankenstein's Monster square off in a prize fight sort of thing when some outside interference from Captain Nemo helps take down the Monster. Quatermain easily kills the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and hunts down the Wolf Man. We decided that Quatermain would have armed himself with silver bullets for this fight. After the defeat of most of the monster team, the LoEG all team up to fight Dracula, the Lord of the Vampires. Dracula's powers would actually prove to be too much. Appearing and reappearing behind each League member, biting and infecting some, mortally wounding or killing the others. At the end, Count Dracula's power and centuries worth of battle experience and overall wisdom wins the day. The character of Count Dracula proved to be stronger than I ever anticipated. Going into recording yesterday's episode, I was 90% sure we would decide the LoEG would win, but I was pleasantly surprised. And that's what I love about this tournament.

This last fight proved that even if a team is down to their last member, there is still a chance for victory! Thanks for reading, please go and listen to the episode as I worked real hard on these breakdowns (or scouting reports as I refer to them as in the podcast) and organizing the podcast. My friends did a great job and were a tremendous help with yesterday's episode. So thank you Jimmy and thank you Austin! And thank you readers/listeners! Can't wait til next episode! ANOTHER CHANCE TO CLICK TO LISTEN!!!

UNIVERSAL MOVIE MONSTERS - Team Tournament Breakdown



So this is a very interesting team, and the first of three movie-based character teams. The Universal Movie Monsters are your classic movie monsters like Dracula, the Mummy, and Frankenstein's Monster. These guys are the oldest characters in this tournament, with their original novels having been published as early as 1897 (Dracula by Bram Stoker). The first Universal Movie Monster ever was the Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1923, starring Lon Cheney "The Man of a Thousand Faces". His son, Lon Cheney Jr., during the 1940's, became the KING of the Monster Movies, taking the reigns from Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. Lugosi, of course, starred as Count Dracula in the 1931 film, as well as many other monster movies (as Dracula and as other characters) including The Wolf Man; which starred Lon Cheney Jr. as the titular character. Boris Karloff starred as both Frankenstein's Monster (credited as "?") in 1931 and as Imhotep (the Mummy, known as Ardath Bey in living form) in The Mummy in 1932. All characters we're using for this tournament are based on these original characters but with a comic book twist. Meaning that they all have character attributes and abilities like the other participants in this tournament, including their character's history, which will combine the movies (past and present) novels, and comic books. Anyway, the Universal Movie Monsters!:

Count Dracula - the Lord of the Vampires! Just like the rest of these characters, he is a legend. There are SOOOOOOOOOOO many stories that feature Dracula. So let's just focus on his abilities. Dracula has all the abilities that come with being a vampire, multiplied by 100! Seriously, think about it. All of the modern vampire tales are because of the success of this original character! Ok, anyway, Dracula has superhuman strength and speed, he can fly as both a human or as a bat. Speaking of which, he can transform, not only into a bat, but also a wolf, AND into mist. His abilities are magic based, and since he is technically not living, Dracula is extremely durable. His thirst for blood is not a vulnerable point for Dracula either, but more of a way of enhancing his already great powers. Dracula can survive off of any kind of living creature's blood, but gets the most benefit from human blood. Now, imagine what would happen if Dracula was able to drink the blood of someone like...Superman. Yeah, it's absolutely possible! Dracula also has telepathic and hypnotic powers. He can hypnotize someone by just staring them in the eye (the smarter you are, the harder it is to hypnotize you), then reach into their mind from great distances. Dracula's bite can kill, then infect a body causing it to turn into a vampire. In one of my favorite What If..." comics, the X-Men were fighting Dracula, and losing! He was able to bite all of them, making them rise again as his vampire slaves. THE X-MEN WERE ALL VAMPIRES! Then Wolverine challenged Dracula and cut his head off and became Lord of the Vampires. It is an awesome story, and my first introduction to the What If...? comic book series (I have a nice little collection). Dracula has fought Superman, Batman (a few times), Spider-Man, and many others including his fellow team members.











Frankenstein's Monster - The Creature! My second favorite Universal Movie Monster! I remember reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein back in 5th grade, just for fun! Anyway, the Creature has superhuman strength and is nearly invulnerable. His body is thick and dead, so he can't feel pain and is difficult to stop. His strength and energy is enhanced by electricity, primarily lightening, but can assumingly withstand long periods of time without needing a charge up. The Creature is also not very fast nor agile, mostly stalking after opponents. In the comics, he has been shown moving at decent speeds (nothing superhuman), surprising for something his size.






Wolf Man - My favorite Movie Monster! I have been a fan since I saw the original 1941 version on tv as a kid. I was always a big fan of the secret identity troupe in comic books and the Wolf Man had a secret identity much like Bruce Banner.  The Wolf Man even goes crazy and tries to destroy stuff and kill people, like the Hulk likes to smash things. Unlike the Hulk, the Wolf Man isn't immeasurably strong. Once transformed, the Wolf Man exhibits some enhanced strength, as if his strength as a man combined with the strength of a wolf. As do his other attributes like speed and agility. I guess you could say that he runs as fast as a wolf can, which is faster than an ordinary human. He's ferocious and resiliant to pain, but is vulnerable to most weapons.






The Mummy - I have honestly never seen the original mummy movie from 1932. I saw (and loved) the 1999 version with Brendan Fraser, of course, but never saw the original. To be even more honest, I am a little scared of the Mummy. Heh heh. Imhotep was cursed and buried alive, then reawakened and allowed to walk the Earth again, still cursed and this time with powers. He is probably the most magical being on this team, maybe moreso than Dracula, there's a good arguement there. Anyway, he's an ancient undead being and therefore cannot be killed by modern weapons. Now, we're not giving him powers like the Imhotep in the 1999 remake, but Imhoptep was an Egyptian priest and therefore could be considered a capable spellcaster.







The Invisible Man - Just like the Invisible Man II from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, except the original and movie version. The original movie came out in 1933 and starred Claude Rains as Dr. Jack Griffin a scientist who discovered a formula that can turn a person invisible. He is often seen wrapped in bandages with dark glasses and a fedora, when uncovered he is completely invisible. Dr. Griffin is a great villain! His experiment works and so he immediately starts to plot for world domination and starts killing people.





The Creature from the Black Lagoon - Another "the Creature"! This one looks like a humanoid fish or Gill-man as he's referred to as. Gill made his debut in the Creature from the Black Lagoon in 1954, and starred in two more sequels Revenge of the Creature (1955) and The Creature Walks Among Us (1956). He's like the Aquaman of this team, but less cool. If you consider Aquaman "cool" that is. So, like Aquaman, Gill (do you mind if I call him Gill?) can swim quickly underwater. Unlike Aquaman, he can't swim at superhuman speeds, but at speeds comparable to, say a shark. Gil was more into the kidnapping game then the killing one, though I believe he killed a dude or two in his day. I haven't seen any of the Creature movies, so I don't know for sure, you never know with sci-fi movies even though it's also considered "horror".






King Kong - Technically not an original Universal Movie Monster (the original 1933 King Kong was produced by RKO Radio Pictures), but the movie rights are currently owned by Universal Studios so that's good enough for me! SO, where Gill kinda leaves the team a little flat, Kong kind of takes over the whole show huh? He's a giant ape, and so has the physical strength, speed, and agility of a giant ape. We've seen what Kong is capable of in Peter Jackson's remake, the 1976 remake, and the original when he took on the jungle creatures, and dinosaurs of Skull Island! He stood atop the Empire State Building in New York City and swatted at planes until finally succombing to their gunfire. So he's a giant ape that can handle machine gun shots to his body. Kong is a, no pun intended, enormous threat and so must be dealt with immediately, but as formidable as he appears, Kong can still be beaten.

hahaha lol I love this face! 




The Odds:
These paranormal and supernatural characters offer a unique threat to their opponents in this tournament. The discussion over their first round matchup should be a lot of fun! The enormous immediate threat of Kong followed up by Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolf Man, Gill, and Dracula, plus the magic and of both Dracula and the Mummy. Lots of great points will be made in the next episode of the Good Shit Podcast.

We are recording tomorrow (Thursday August 25), and so the episode should be available tomorrow evening on soundcloud.com. Thanks for reading, be sure to check out the podcast! Here's smiley again
