New Vilification Tennis Podcast
We got a little bit behind on podcasting for Vilification Tennis during the festival season but this weekend I managed to get some folks together to record a new episode.
I managed to get Mark Lazarchic and Bob Alberti to start arguing politics. Unfortunately, I had to cut them off after about ten minutes but I think the podcast is worth listening to just for that. There’s also a lot of talk about a lesbian in Hong Kong because that’s the kind of podcast we do.
We also get really in-depth talking about the Renaissance Festival, including a lot of behind the scenes stuff. I think it turned out to be a good episode in spite of the worst home game rounds ever.
Monday Morning Comedy!
I wrote an article for the Vilification Tennis website this week!
I actually wrote it quite some time ago but it wasn’t time sensitive so it’s been gathering dust on the comedy shelf. This week, it finally sees the light of day!
So please, go over and read it. I think it’s pretty darned amusing.
Two New Podcasts! AH HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!
Hey everyone! Because of Labor day, you can listen to two new podcasts in which I prominently feature!
First up is our newest installment of Geeks Without God in which we talk about the 1960’s film Inherit the Wind starring Spencer Tracy and Fredrick March. It’s one of my favorite films and had a lot to do with shaping my opinions regarding religion and evolution. The podcast is really interesting (I think) and hopefully it’ll convince folks who haven’t seen the movie to check it out! So give it a listen!
Also, we have a new Vilification Tennis podcast. We finally got Lauren, our youngest vilifier, on the Podcast and she initiated a fascinating discussion about driving. She doesn’t want to get her license and the rest of us try to convince her that she should by telling her horror stories about our experiences as young drivers. It doesn’t seem to work. We also talked about a lot of other stuff. Enjoy!
Check out the swank art for the next Vilification Tennis show
We are still in the midst of the Renaissance Festival but our work on our Bryant Lake Bowl season of shows is already gearing up.
In October, we’ll be presenting two nights of Vilification Tennis LOVES America! Art for the show and information about our upcoming season below the fold.
New Comedy Writing
I’ve got quite a few new articles up at the Vilification Tennis website this morning.
I wrote the World News article this morning looking at doubts surrounding Mitt Romney’s Citizenship.
I also wrote a new Movie Dick article about a brand new genre in movie making – the “film in which the title character doesn’t appear” genre.
And finally, after a brief hiatus, we have a new episode of the Vilification Tennis Podcast up! We recorded it in the MN Renaissance Festival campground on Friday night and it is pretty entertaining.
So pop on over and take a look if you like!
New Movie Silliness written by me
I have a new Movie Dick article up for New Content day on the Vilification Tennis website. I make fun of Kate Beckinsale who, I’m sorry to say, is a pretty easy target.
Social Commentary Disguised as Humor?
I’m pretty happy with my new article over at the Vilification Tennis website.
I got to thinking how uninformed the American public is in general and how that might relate to death of Sally Ride. So I wrote this piece that went live this morning.
Go check it out and ask yourself, it is so far removed from the truth?
New Stuff I wrote
We have a new podcast up over at the Vilification Tennis website this morning along with lots of other new content! This week’s podcast got into some pretty deep discussion about comic theory including what makes Geek humor work so well and, in the wake of the Colorado shootings, we ask how soon it is too soon to joke about tragic events.
Interestingly enough, I also wrote a Movie Dick article this week about The Dark Knight Rises. It has nothing to do with the shooting and was written before that event ever took place. Somehow, I still think that someone will tell me that posting it was in the worst possible taste…
Sweet Sweet podcast-y goodness!
There is a new podcast up over at Vilification Tennis, along with a lot of other new stuff.
The latest podcast includes all sorts of weird stuff. Among other things, I won the Vilification Tennis Home Game for the first time ever. Also we learn that the Huffington post is just a little bit behind when it comes to sexual fetishes.
So go listen and read and stuff, OK?
I don’t want you to feel comfortable about being a bigot
I wrote a radio play for Vaudevilification Tennis and because the show took place during Pride, I decided to include a “public service announcement” against the gay marriage ban. My opinion on the issue should be clear but I saw a good opportunity for some comedy that also made a statement that is important to me.
When it came time to put that script in the CONvergence show, I initially balked at the idea of including the public service announcement because I felt that CONvergence is not a political convention and the announcement might be out of place.
Two things changed my mind.
