In which X7 looks at the final three episodes of The Green Hornet! These are good episodes, and they end the series with a bang, or rather, a zap! We do wish we had received a second season of the show, but alas, superhero fatigue set in quite quickly in the 60s. Not for X7, but he was of a later vintage. Let's roll, Kato!

In which X7 takes a look at one of the earliest comic books he ever purchased on his own- and it does not have The Vision in it! It does have dinosaurs, though. Turok was a favorite, even if X7 didn't actually buy many issues. Let's roll!

In which X7 reviews the first Jonny Quest feature film, Jonny's Golden Quest (1993). It is a pretty good movie, but there are just a few things that it is completely wrong about. What are those? Watch the review and find out!

In which X7 reviews four more episodes of the wonderful Valley of the Dinosaurs! He has taken to annotating some of the screen captures, sometimes with dialog from the episode, sometimes with names, and sometimes with pithy observations about the characters or goings on. Now that was a long sentence! Let's roll!

In which X7 talks about the excellent island adventure Mysterious Island (1961)! This is a fine Ray Harryhausen movie, and is kind of neglected due to the Sinbad and dinosaur movies of the wonderful stop-motion animator. We love it here, though perhaps it runs about ten minutes too long. Still, there is a lot to enjoy, so let's roll!

In which X7 takes a look at a movie he really wanted to love, and it did not live up to the trailer. This is The Deadly Angels, which was the Shaw Brothers answer to Charlie's Angels. They wish! Sure, it is a lot sleazier and the fight scenes are better, but there are NOT ENOUGH of them! See? X7 doesn't love ALL Shaw movies. It is worth a watch, though. Let's roll!

In which X7 introduces a new music feature for one Friday a month! We have seven songs from seven movies that feature music and songs prominently in said features. This will be pretty fun, we think! Let's get ready to rock and roll!

In which X7 looks at the one great episode, one good episode and one very unusual episode of The Green Hornet! We like all of them, of course, and once again wish the show had been more daring overall. Still, a change of pace is nice, and we are happy we got 26 episodes. Let's roll, Kato!

In which X7 sneaks around actually watching and reviewing Casablanca itself by doing a book review about the best movie in the world. He thinks that will help his alleged quality not show up. Listen and find out if he was successful. We bet he is glad there was music from the trailer present, though. Let's roll!

In which X7 talks about the seventh movie in the Godzilla series, Godzilla vs the Sea Monster (1966)! This is in celebration of the 500th episode of the podcast! It is hard to believe we have been doing this for that many episodes now, but it has been loads of fun and we have a lot more to talk about! We did use the original US dub for this review as well. Go, go Godzilla!

In which X7 discusses and has a dialogue about episodes 05 to 08 of the fun Valley of the Dinosaurs (1974) series. Three out of the four episodes are quite good. We just don't care much for monkey men. Sorry, not sorry! We also get a lot of Pteranodon longiceps as well, which always makes X7 happy!

In which we celebrate the second annual Pachy (Pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis) Day! This is in honor of Lilith's favorite dinosaur. Things have changed a bit since last year's episode, #122, which was before we got to YouTube. We think X7 had a bit too much fun today, but the episode is pretty awesome! Pachycephalosaurus... CHARGE!

In which X7 takes a look at what is really one of the lesser "Venom" movies. Just keepin' it real here! Masked Avengers is a mislabeled movie, since they are killers, not Avengers. Be that as it may, it is full of weapons and action, and lots and lots of blood. The righteous man is invincible!

In which X7 talks about one of this favorite bands, The Smithereens! We get seven awesome songs, three of which are fun covers and the other originals. We wish we had seen this band live, it would have been awesome! Let's get ready to rock and roll!

In which X7 talks about the first live-action crossover/team-up he ever saw... the time when the Green Hornet visited Batman in Gotham City! Sure, the overall story could have been a bit more serious, but it was nice to see Kato and the Hornet show a lighter side. As of this episode, this is the only legit release of the Green Hornet on home video. Which is just sad. Atomic turbines to speed and let's roll!

In which X7 talks about the very nice and cool Morrison Natural History Museum! He went there last week, so here's the episode, along with a couple neat-o videos. It is a pretty short episode, which is fitting, it is a pretty small museum. It is full of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. Let's phase!

In which X7 talks about the wonderful cartoon Alakazam the Great! from 1961. It is the US version of Saiyūki (西遊記) from 1960. X7 saw it several times on television here in Fossil Bed whilst growing up, and it is lovely to see it in all the widescreen glory it deserves! The adaptation is well done, and deserves a nice Blu Ray release! Abra Kadabra!

In which X7 starts a new series, well, new from 1974 that is, the very underrated Valley of the Dinosaurs! It had the misfortune of debuting on the exact same day as the amazing Land of the Lost, so go figure which one is better remembered. Aside from similar starting points, the two series are pretty different. This is a fun series, and it has lots of dinosaurs!

In which X7 talks about the wonderful sci-fi movie from 1953, It Came from Outer Space! Svengoolie aired it last week, so naturally we review it this week! It is a great movie, easily top five science fiction movies of the decade. The cast is stellar, the direction and music is tops, and that alien is unique and not completely scary. We can't recommend the movie enough!

In which X7 looks at one of Jackie Chan's best movies, Drunken Master from 1978! There are so many fights in here it is almost too much a good thing, but it is a great movie. X7 got to see this and the sequel in the theater on a double feature and it was great! The righteous (drunken) man is invincible!

In which X7 listens to seven (count 'em, seven!) songs featuring sci-fi and comedy! There are some other things here and there, but overall, it is a fun episode to listen to! We highly recommend listening to the whole thing! Yeah yeah yeah... WOW!

In which X7 watches and reviews three more episodes of the wonderful Green Hornet show! We have another two-parter, and then a very interesting follow up. Lets roll, Kato!

In which X7 talks about his wonderful visit to Dinosaur Ridge. What fun it was! He was there ten years ago and included a few pictures from that visit as well. It was a lovely day and much fun was had by all, except maybe our tour guide, who had probably not planned on the more detailed questions our humble agent asked. This is no Land of the Lost!

In which we look at the final Three Stooges theatrical film, The Outlaws is Coming! This is from 1965, and has a lot of familiar faces in it, and one that was about to become world famous, the late, great Adam West! Sure, it isn't the classic Stooge line-up, and they do repeat many of the same gags, but it is an agreeable way to spend 90 minutes. Woo woo woo!

In which X7 looks at three more episodes of Kimba, and a special extra episode, which we will get into later on! We have enjoyed watched the entire series, but these would not have been the final two episodes we would have aired. Listen for X7's choice! Let's go, White Lion, for the final time in the 60s!

In which X7 returns to stop-motion dinosaurs, er, well, a stop-motion dinosaur in the mostly good The Beast from Hollow Mountain (1956). We like it, though it is mostly a standard "oater" or basic western for the most part. The movie does prove that everything really is better with dinosaurs in it!

In which X7 talks about the very enjoyable 1980 Chang Cheh movie, Flag of Iron, AKA Spearman of Death! Both titles are quite appropriate as well. Now, the movie does have more talking than usual, but it also has a lot of fights. We mean, a LOT. X7 enjoyed this viewing quite a bit this time around. Let's get ready to start kung fu fighting!

In which X7 does a traditional "7 Song Friday" complete with a song he had never heard before! It is also Superman Day, so we do acknowledge that! Let's get ready to rock and roll!

In which X7 has an episode all about fire and doesn't use the the "fire fire fire" sound bite! Vert der ferk?! Still, these are three excellent episodes, and well worth the time to watch. We really would like to see the series released on Blu Ray, but thanks to that stupid movie, this seems like a pipe dream now. Let's roll, Kato!

In which X7 reviews the Comic Book History of Beer (2015)! It is informative and entertaining and highly recommended! In this episode, one Agent K makes her presence known, and is almost a co-host. She does stick around long, but she is most memorable! Sláinte mhaith!

In which X7 enjoys the movie The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes so much he launched right into the review! Be that as it may, the movie is a lot of fun, and we enjoy Dexter Riley a lot. Enough to watch two more movies featuring him and his friends! Watch the review, or take a chance at getting de-rezzed!

In which X7 talks about episodes 46-50 in this, the penultimate episode about the series! These are some pretty cool episodes, complete with unusual surprises, though the title card gives you a few spoilers! Go, White Lion!

In which X7 reviews the perfectly acceptable 1957 movie, The Deadly Mantis. We wish it was a bit shorter, but it made a fair bit of money, so what do we know? Still, it moves along quickly, and there is a lot of the "monster" in it. It'll do, Donkey, it'll do!

In which X7 debuts his first Jackie Chan movie review, which was Jackie's first big hit! It is indeed Snake in The Eagle's Shadow, from 1978. It is an excellent movie, filled with lots of martial arts and comedy, along with a bit of drama! It is not filled with wire-fu, which makes X7 happy. It is great! Everybody is kung fu fighting here!

In which X7 plays seven songs... live! He leaves the mistakes in and all, because he is just that punk rock- even at this new vintage! Let's rock and roll!

In which X7 reviews three more action-packed episodes of The Green Hornet! They showcase the arsenal of the Black Beauty a bit more in these episodes. She sure lives up to both her name and her nickname! Lets roll, Kato!

In which X7 reviews FOOM (Friends of Ol' Marvel) issue #12, which just so happens to feature his favorite superhero, The Vision! FOOM was a great fan-oriented, Marvel produced magazine. Plus, you got to say you were a friend of Marvel! I sure wish they would reprint these issues. It would be fun to see them again, and all the ones we missed. Avengers, Assemble!

In which X7 reviews the first of several comedy movies for April, the hilarious comedy Road To Utopia! Learn about it here! We did talk about the movie was back in episode 54, well over 400 episodes ago! X7 does know a bit more about podcasting, doesn't he? It is still a great movie, and we hear more about when he first saw it Put 'er there, pal, put 'er there!

In which X7 talks about five rather meaningful episodes of Kimba The White Lion! The Roger Ranger storyline is wrapped up, which, coincidentally wraps up Tonga the Crazy Huntress storyline! We see made up monsters and real monsters, and even more of Kimba's adventures in the city. Go, White Lion!

In which X7 offers a surprise- a double feature of sorts, if you will! He reviews the, er, interesting, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman from 1958, and a special surprise cartoon after that! See how he messes with Texas then!

In which X7 reviews the great 1981 movie, Martial Club! This is also known as Instructors of Death, which is more than a slightly misleading title. No one is killed at all in this movie. It is also refreshing to see Wang Lung-wei in a rather heroic role for a change. We love this pure martial arts movie!

In which X7 celebrates a late April Fool's Day with seven great comedy songs! In fact, the whole month of April will have some great comedy moments with reviews and such. We all look forward to see what things he will talk about! Why, we even think there are comedic dinosaur movies out there! Let's get ready to rock and roll... and LAUGH!

IN which X7 reviews not one, not two, but three great episodes of The Green Hornet! This time it is the middle episode that most people love, including our humble agent. The other two episodes are quite entertaining as well! Let's roll, Kato!

In which X7 does a redo of episode 33 (wow) when it was all about green dinosaurs, but this time, we get pictures and video and songs! Roy Chapman Andrews wrote three books about dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, and I may have to look into finding the second two. This is is an old friend, and you can tell by looking at the cover of the book itself. We can learn and play with dinosaurs today!

In which X7 looks at a very fun and Academy Award winning Disney movie, Bedknobs and Broomsticks! It is from 1971 , so don't expect an actual witch, but it sure had some influence on books and movies in the future, we will tell you what! It is a little long, but not as long as the movie! Keep these words handy- "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee" as you never know when you may need them!

In which X7 reviews five more episodes of Kimba The White Lion, and looks at a few interesting items in the episodes. We think these are pretty good observations, but let us know in the comments! Go, White Lion!

In which X7 talks about one of the best Godzilla movies made, 1965/1970's Monster Zero! Nope, he will never call this movie any other name. Be that as it may, it's a great movie, full of wonderful characters, top-notch effects. This print is also magnificent! Go, go Godzilla!

In which X7 reviews on on Angela Mao Ying's first kung fu movies, Lady Whirlwind (1972)! It is a pretty straightforward story, with a slight revenge plot twist. Lots of blood and action! It is a great Blu Ray release from Arrow video as well! Let's go!

In which X7 tries a new idea for Fridays- 7 songs from a specific recording. Let us know in the comments if you think the idea is sound! Today's LP is Destroyer, from KISS! Well, it is a double CD set, so we had quite the selection, rather than just the nine songs from the original LP! Let's rock and roll!

In which X7 looks at the first two-parter of the Green Hornet series! It is a good story, and finally starts highlighting Bruce Lee's one of a kind on US television in the 60s kung fu. Nothing else looked like that, not even the great fights on the Wild Wild West! Let's roll, Kato!
