    Nov 1 2020
    The third and final part of our long conversation about our favorite Post Apocalyptic and Apocalyptic fiction (part 1 begins in episode 2 and continues in episode 3). In this episode, we talk more about our favorite literature within the genre ("The Battle Circle" series, "I am Legend", "A Canticle for Liebowitz", "The Mist", "The Stand", "The Road", "Blood Meridian", "Battlefield Earth", "The Sword of Shannara" series, "The Dog Stars"). Additionally, we discuss the Music of Tangerine Dream ("Exit"), the song/video "You Got Lucky" from 1982, 1985's "Silent Running", & the Canadian band Godspeed You! Black Emperor (the song is "East Hastings" not "West Hastings" - Matt misquotes it many times!). In the Practices section, Joe leads us in a discussion of favorite exercies from "The 3A.M. Epiphany" by Brian Kiteley. We end the episode with a dramatization of J.N. Cameron's comedic horror story, "Funny People".
