My interview with D. J. Kirkbride about the release of the trade paperback edition of his Errand Boys comic is now online.
New Citations and Acknowledgments
Valerie Estelle Frankel’s essay from The New Peplum, “Hercules, Xena and Genre: The Methodology Behind the Mashup,” has been cited in Jonathan L. Friedmann’s book, Goliath as Gentle Giant: Sympathetic Portrayals in Popular Culture.
Ed Glaser has a new book titled How the World Remade Hollywood: Global Interpretations of 65 Iconic Films.
I’m honored to be mentioned in the acknowledgements!
The book can be purchased at McFarland’s website.
Highlander Call for Papers
Michele has an active CFP on the Highlander franchise. She is looking for essays on the Highlander movies, the television show, comics, everything.
If you’re interested, check out the CFP at her website and please share with others. With a possible reboot on the horizon, this is definitely a book you want to be a part of.
Unofficial Emmanuelle / Black Emanuelle CFP
Sometime in the latter half of 2022 (after I am finished with AnnRadCon 2022) I plan on publishing an official CFP calling for essays on Emmanuelle and its sequels and spinoffs, Black Emanuelle and its sequels, and all other Emmanuelle knockoffs. I already have an interested publisher, but I want to present to them a fully laid out TOC for an ambitious collection as this.
Though my CFP will not go live until later 2022, if you have any interest in being a part of this collection, let me know! Send me an email or social media message (see my about me page for contact info) to let me know your interest. If you have an abstract already, even better.

Recent Acquisitions
My pre-order of The Sword and the Sorcerer arrived!
I have not seen this sword and sorcery film before. I’m an Albert Pyun fan, so I got good feelings about this one.
