In my search for Dr Pepper and run into Tazer...pretty sure he's up to something

Trevor tells me about his book and a little on the history of ghosts at Christmas time. Next we discuss some old time radio favorites. As always the conversations tend to go a little off topic.

Good News

After the problems with the last episode I have recorded the first part of Episode 005 and it sounds great (well to me anyway). Got the new equipment up and running and even recorded the first episode of "The Geeks Explain It All" with my buddy Stratosphear. That one will be available on iTunes and RSS feed at some point over the next week or so, keep a look out for that!

About the new equipment:

I have a Technical Pro PM-21 podcasting kit that came with mixer, microphone, stand and headphones...  $50 well spent. I added another mike stand and a pair of microphones: A Nady SP-4C  and an Audio Technica ATR1100. The mike cord that came with the podcast kit gives off a buzzing so eventually that will have to be replaced but the others are performing well for now.

A thought occurred to me

I remember something I once heard in a movie review for the remake of the Blob and it actually applies to the review we did of King Kong vs Godzilla that will be on the podcast showing up here in the next few days.

We as viewers of these films are getting lazy or unimaginative because we have to have things explained to us.

In the original Blob all we knew was that it came from a meteor from space (I know, where else would it come from) however in the remake it turned out to be from a satellite that crashed to Earth. I don't feel this made my enjoyment any greater and if anything it took away some of the sense of wonder.

What does this have to do with KK vs G?

In the American version there is a reporter that basically acts as an almost narrator that explains it all. This does not do anything to really move the story along although it is less intrusive than in the second Godzilla film where the narrator basically turns the movie into an audio book.

My question to all of you is this:

When watching movies of this sort, do we really need explanations for everything or is it okay to let our imaginations fill in the blanks a little?
