Following up my recent appearance on The Chronic Rift's Fall Movie Preview show(s -- it was actually broken into two episodes), I make my debut as the resident movie critic of the podcast produced expressly for lovers of genre media in all its forms.
In addition, there are book reviews by Andrea Lipinski, TV reviews by Keith R.A. DeCandido, comic reviews by David Alexander "The Comics Curmudgeon" McDonald, and a pop culture overview by Orenthal Hawkins. All hosted by the Riftmaster himself, John Drew, and Judith Furnari.
