Talk à Deux - S3E11: Nerdiest of Reviews

"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

THE TIME HAS COME: For a new episode of YaketyCAST! This week our hosts battle it out in a....battle to end all battles when they talk about KRAVEN: THE HUNTER. One of our hosts loved it, the other one did not! Can they find a middle ground?!

1:21:52

Friends, it's time once again to get into some classic Doctor Who! And we have a special treat this time, our good friend Lena Barkin (self-confessed 2nd Doctor and Jamie aficionado)! Together we review the only 8-part story in the show's history: The Invasion! Complete with a mega-maniacal tech oligarch (yeah, feels familiar, right?!), the Cyberman, and the introduction of UNIT, this story has so much good stuff packed inside that you'll be impressed we only kept it to an 80 minute discussion!…

The YC Gang is back at it once again this week! John gives us some reviews on his first play through of The Last of Us Part 2 and the movie Novacaine! Ernesto saw Black Bag and has a whole lot to say about The Penguin!

Well, they did it. The host of YaketyCAST somehow survived another Daylight Saving! While they try to figure out if they've gained or lost a hour, join them as they navigate through this week in entertainment news! John saw RIFF RAFF and MICKEY 17 this week, and Ernesto regales us with his time in the music studio as a triangle player!

1:32:56

Folks, we are back into the swing of things post-Gallifrey One and we have our annual post-Gally "episode suggested by our friend Mike"! This time around, Mike has suggested RTD's very first series: Dark Season! Originally made for kids back in 1991, it's clear that RTD really wanted to write for Doctor Who because RTD's style and The Doctor's fingerprints are all over this six-part series! So grab a paddle and wear something really pastel and let's dive in!…

YaketyCAST - Episode 103: The Greatest Comeback in Podcasting HISTORY! 52:22

hace 4 weeks52:22

52:22

FOLKS. It's been SEVEN YEARS since the fine gentlemen of YaketyCAST have graced the microphones but never fear for the comeback is at hand! Join Ernesto and John as they talk about whatever they've been doing for the past seven years. They also discuss a couple of trailers, some movies they've seen, some video games, and a whole lot of TV news! They're easing back into it (this was basically to test levels and our new recording set up) so we hope you'll join them for their regular tangents and nonsense going forward!…

Phenomena City Limits S02E02 - Terry Mitchell OR Chuckanuts All Over the Place 53:18

hace 5 weeks53:18

53:18

This month we take a look at the work and research of one Terry Mitchell. He may not be known widely, but his fascination with Bigfoot led him to the Pacific Northwest where he claims to not only have made contact with Bigfoot, but was made their ambassador to humanity! Seb's amazing research on Mitchell includes many very interesting newspaper articles along with some interesting other angles Mitchell has on Bigfoot culture! So grab your tree knockers and let's get into things!…

Phenomena City Limits S02E01 - The Face in the Window OR Subterranean Pareidolia Blues 1:04:34

hace 8 weeks1:04:34

1:04:34

Season Two is here, friends!! And we start this new season with Seb having sourced a 1996 video called The Face in the Window that documents the experience of a rural Missouri family who happen to be playing with their new camcorder (remember when VHS ruled the roost?) when something strange peeks in their window to see how the wrestling match is going. Was it an alien? Was it possibly a mascot head? Either way, there's definitely some high strangeness afoot!…

Ladies and gents and everyone inbetween, the boys are back! Yes, after the LA Fires delayed our planned recording date a couple weeks ago, we've returned to the mic to bring you our review of The Wheel in Space which has had 2/3 of the episodes faithfully and wonderfully animated by TARDIS Time Girl over on YouTube! So tune in, enjoy, and we'll see you next time at Gallifrey One!…

1:03:48

Now that our holiday commitments are done, we're back to review the 2024 Doctor Who Christmas Special "Joy to the World"! Frankly, we loved this Moffat-penned adventure. So be prepared for us to say lots of good things about the show we love...because why would you keep watching if you don't like it? That's weird. Anyway...on with the show!!…

Happy New Year, friends and listeners! It's 2025 and maybe you're just taking it easy this first day of the new year. Need something to keep you entertained? Well, this month we end our first season with a fascinating tale that had been at the fringes of our awareness for some time: The Toynbee Tiles! What are these weird little messages that have been showing up since the 1980s?! With the help of an excellent 2011 documentary, we dive deep into the Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles. Because it's so much weirder than it appears on the surface!…

Something ood is afoot in the Ood Sphere! Yes, it's capitalism and exploitation come to wreck yet another civilization! Aren't we humans grand? Yes, this time we watch the wintry classic Planet of the Ood and weigh its message against the legendary, heavy-handed Orphan 55 (good news, not as heavy). And programming note: we may not be reviewing the Christmas special until about the first of the new year, so let us take this opportunity to thank you for joining us in 2024 and to wish you all a lovely holiday season!…

55:36

Friends, this month we take a look at the interesting life of one Riley Hansard Crabb. From his years in Hawaii and the Akualele Research Group to his time with the Borderland Science Research Association and into some of the stranger talks/books/booklets he's published. And yes, there are some Keel-ian almost Hellier-esque connections to be made. We weren't able to cover every aspect of his vast catalog, so we encourage you to check out the links in the show notes to learn more!…

Well, we're clearly coming out of something of an election hangover and while there's work to be done on that front, we're also coping with a bit of Doctor Who! This time we compared The Shakespeare Code to a summer's day! And it held up pretty darn well! Not only that, but we've moved ourselves and the podcast over to Bluesky so be sure to check the show notes for our new socials!…

What will the world look like in the near future? A question that seemed fun and fancy free when asked and fully freighted now. But step into the future with us when we try to predict upcoming trends and, in one case, an anti-trend. It's a fun hour, leave your worries by the door they'll still be there when you leave!

This month we're taking a look at the Rosicrucians! Not the AMORC order itself, but recounting what it was like to grow up essentially in the shadow of their museum and headquarters in San Jose, California! Yep, your hosts lived a small handful of blocks from this unusual property in the heart of Silicon Valley! Perhaps we'll discover just how much influence it held in our paranormal development.…

hace 25 weeks1:15:56

1:15:56

We're talking about 1988's Beetlejuice in this culture club episode because the sequel came out only a month ago, and only a month after we recorded it! We talk about unpopular truths and I'm pretty sure I'm right (Hi, I [Nick] edited this one so it's me writing the description, how are you?) about which hand the Statue of Liberty is holding her torch in but while editing I had a crisis of confidence and have become very doubtful, but never looked up the answer.

We look back at the first season finale of Modern Who and remember what it was like to experience this all for the first time, what a bigger surprise it would have been if we didn't know a regeneration was coming, and how the effects hold up halfway decently for an almost 20 year old story!…

So what better month for us to do our very first vampire story and it's a corker!! Seb brings us the tale of David Farrant and his efforts to rid London of the vampire in Highgate Cemetery. Mind you, he doesn't kick butt quite as well as Buffy did, but this story is so bonkers!! So grab your favorite candy and let's check it out.…

If watching Eccleston's penultimate episode this week has taught us anything, it's that even the deep future of humanity is going to still be fixated on late 20th and early 21st century pop culture! Your guess as to why is just as good as ours! But it is a trope amongst others that we discuss this time...a long with why the heck the Daleks decided to play a long game with humanity instead of just barging into the place and breaking all the good china like they normally do!…
