The Dork Forest

It’s ALMOST outsider movies. Greg Benson (@mediocre films https://www.youtube.com/mediocrefilms) loves a movie where so much effort has been made but there’s NOTHING THERE. Not Camp. Showgirls. We see how Yeshmin came to be. #jococruise Enjoy.

Such good intentions to discuss the fancy foods to aspire to but Anita Sarkeesian (@femfreq @anitasarkeesian) and I discover that we really want to dork out about being Armenian. And so it came to pass. She’s got a great site dedicated to looking at pop culture from a feminist angle https://feministfrequency.com/ which, since it’s never done that way… is fascinating. You will come for Anita and stay for the beginning of friendship. #jococruise Enjoy.

Professional Wrestling is a JOY to Open Mike Eagle - Ep. 454 We dive off the third rope into a couple of Open Mike Eagle’s (@Mike_Eagle) favorite wrestlers. I learn a LITTLE bit more about wrestling. He’s got a new album out (Brick Body Kids Still Daydream) and a wrestling pod (it looks so SILLY and great http://www.maximumfun.org/shows/tights-and-fights rivalling, perhaps the genre itsveryself. #jococruise Enjoy.

There’s series of novels Erica Burns (@blondechick80) has NOT read, but I feel like there’s more she WILL. WE dork out hard on Harry Bosch, Jack Reacher, Outlander. We scratch a SURFACE. #jococruise Listen up.

Fly Fishing, Trout and Tippets W Stu Anderson - Ep. 452 Stu Anderson (@andest01) knows about the elusive brown trout. He made an app! troutspotr https://2017.troutspotr.com/ for the website and downloadable, free app about FISHIN! I learn from the ground UP about these water based animals and how to catch them. It’s an amazing conversation for real!! He ties his own flies. Get in there.

Maritime History. You heard me. W Cheryl Jones - Ep. 451 Chery Jones (of @moviesmademepod ) is SO GREAT. She loved a movie, so she learned to sail. She read a bunch of books about sailing and then got her masters. What? Yes. Listen up.

Labyrinth is that Bowie/Jim Henson movie I saw once. Virginia Jones (@badiniadones), standup comic and delight, has seen it A LOT. I learn Jennifer Connelly invented Cosplay. Holy smokes with this movie. I learn stuff I didn’t know about Goth. It’s a delight.

The woman behind the man is usually right next to him getting her name removed from the research paper when they stop being married. Cathryn Michon (@thegrrlgenius) is a writer and director and she is great. She loves a tale of an underdog. And the women who inspire her to keep going. This one will make you mad and remind you about the Cotton Gin. Bring It.

Martha Gellhorn was inspirational to Julie Seabaugh (@julieseabaugh). Inspiring her to write what she wanted to write about (Julie is a freelance comedy writer) and, just as telling, get the hell out of St. Louis for a minute. I’d never heard of her. It’s a good one!!

If you’re alive to read this; projectionist by trade maybe created Gariana Abeyta’s (@garianaabeyta) cross section of SO many movies she’s willing to love. It’s her birthday week and wish her happy birthday and watch a doco she’s in called “Out of Print” on Netflix and everywhere.

It’s a science and it’s about helping each other. Dorking out about The Great British Bakeoff with Carlos Delgado (@cevichepapi delgadocomedy.com and has his own show POD DAMN AMERICA) is a sweet sweet treat. Enjoy.

Kanye West is married to Kim Kardashian and he makes danceable heartfelt rap. Marcella Arguello (great comic @marcellacomedy) is a self-proclaimed non-expert but knows SO MUCH MORE than I do.

Craig’s List is a soothing rabbithole for Dana Eagle (@danaeagletweets and author of How to Be Depressed – a Guide) and it can be done alone. She is a great comic and a savvy haggler. You will enjoy this. I insist.

Ed Greer (@edgreerdestroys and pod: NerdGoat) is a multifaceted dork with an Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He loves the underdog and does not want it to be contrarianism. Voyager. The Punisher. A basketball team that doesn’t win a lot. You will love this.

Doug loves drinking, getting naked, comedy and leisure suits and we swear a lot. Not in that order. You’ve been warned and this episode is great. This is not Fame with Doug Stanhope (@dougstanhope) has a new book. You could love Doug Stanhope.
