No I’m not swiping Slay’s title act, but what else could I call this one? Last week I won by using a match that was more on the cerebral side…and still involved beating someone up. But I’m weird like that. This week, however, it’s all in the physical word. In one corner you have a giant robot, in the second you have a giant Sasquatch, and in the third corner the forever reigning King Of The Monsters! Now since the rules require consecutive panels and the story is interrupted by the rafters subplot, we’ll see the final moments of the fight but is there really a dull moment in a fight like this?
“Boogaloo” round 2
Fun fact: I keep wanting to write “Bugaloo” and I’ve only seen the intro to that show.

Galaxy Quest (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
This one is a link to a video I don’t have the permission to post (again, a big deal in the reviewing community) but it’s one that I found quite fascinating. SFDebris recently reviewed the sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest, where actors from an old science fiction show learn that they influenced an alien culture they now have to save. However it’s not the review that I point to this but the follow-up. Sonnenberg’s point was that the movie, unlike a lot of stuff from Hollywood about fandom, wasn’t the usual slam of sci-fi fans but for a change treated them positively and then did a related video focusing on the art of storytelling and how that, and the connection to the audience, have changed since the day when people told stories only around a campfire because books, audio and video broadcasting and recording, and the internet had yet to be created. You should really take a look.
