Xenorama, the Podcast of Heroes and Monsters – Details, episodes & analysis

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 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 takes a look at the 30th and 31st episodes of Ultraman! One is good and sad, the second is pretty fun! Plant aliens need to be destroyed for the most part. Grab that Beta Capsule and let's go!

In which X7 takes a look at one of the oddest kiddie movies of all time- The Magic Sword from 1962! He saw it as a kiddie agent, and has never forgotten it. It is still pretty wonderfully weird overall, but quite a fun movie. We highly recommend it. Anyone got the Blu Ray for sale?

In which X7 reviews the great 1960 Giant Golden Book, Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Reptiles. This was a must have book from the 60s to the 70s for all dinosaur loving kids. The views are a bit outdated now, but it is still a gorgeous and well-written book. We also get to see the new version from 2013 as well!

In which we change things up a bit here and review two episodes of the Avengers cartoon- oops! That is the Captain America cartoon from 1966. These are very interesting adaptations, in regards to the fact that the animation studio left out a LOT of information for both stories. The animation is a bit smoother, though the sound effects still do a lot of work! It is pretty fun to see Cap's Kooky Quartet in action. Avengers, Assemble!

In which X7 talks about one of the most famous luchadors in the world, El Santo, and his most famous movie! This is the English dubbed version, Samson vs. the Vampire Women. It was imported with many other Mexican movies in the 60s by K. Gordon Murray. We are thanking him for making our childhoods weird and wonderful!

PS. The audio issue has been taken care of!

In which X7 reviews the most excellent movie, Ninja in the Dragon's Den (1982)! It is a nice Japanese-Chinese collaboration, full of martial arts, magic, misunderstandings and slight comedy! We highly recommend it and wish there was a Blu Ray presentation of it from Arrow Video! Be that as it may, it's great.

In which X7 takes us on quite the ride through musical history today! Let us find out if he can make it make sense. Somehow, we think we should just enjoy the music!
