New Episode of H. P. Lovecast Podcast

We are running a little off kilter this month for podcasting (getting prepped for CoKoCon, other projects popping up). We are a week late, but our monthly episode is now online!

In the newest episode, Michele and I discuss two short stories from Douglas Wynne’s new collection, Something in the Water and Other Stories: “The Enigma Code” and “Tracking the Black Book.”

Ep 53 – Douglas Wynne's Something in the Water H. P. Lovecast Podcast

The episode can be streamed via our Buzzsprout website, via the embedded player above, or through your podcast app of preference.

Recent Acquisitions

This past week has been great for loot being delivered.

First, issue #2 of Band of Warriors, which was Kickstarted earlier this year, arrived. It came with a poster signed by Samuel George London, a copy of the issue proper, and a bookmark.

An ICYMI, I interviewed London twice about his Band of Warriors comic. Those interviews can be found here and here.

Next my preorder of the new Kino release of Samson and the 7 Miracles of the World arrived. It contains a reversible wraparound, so pictured here is the sleeve and the alternative cover art.

Finally, a copy of 1313: Hercules Unbound! also arrived. This is a David Decoteau film, and his modus operandi is young shirtless guys in their undies walking around (see Bigfoot vs. D.B. Cooper). I’m intrigued by his dabble in neo-peplum fare – we will see how campy it might get (Meet the Spartans campy?).

New Episode of H.P. Lovecast Podcast

Brand new episode of the H. P. Lovecast Podcast is online!

Last month we had a Twitter poll on what film we should watch and discuss for this month, Cthulhu Mansion or Feed the Light, and Cthulhu Mansion won. So, we subjugated ourselves to it.

Ep 51 – Juan Piquer Simón's Cthulhu Mansion H. P. Lovecast Podcast

The episode can be streamed at our Buzzsprout site, via the embedded podcast link above, or via your podcast application of preference.

For our Transmissions episode that drops the last day of June, we will be interviewing Lora Senf and Robert Ottone. Stay tuned for that episode.

Kino Release of Samson and the 7 Miracles of the World

Kino has been on a roll lately with their classic sword and sandal releases. Recently they put out Son of Samson. They have Sudan coming out in a Maria Montez and Jon Hall collection, and now they’ve announced a release of Samson and the 7 Miracles of the World.

Amazon does not have an order page up yet, but there is a product page for the Blu-ray at the Kino website.

Though not peplum, but of interest to me in my Emmanuelle studies, Kino also announced a release of the Sylvia Kristel film Mata Hari.

That film’s product page can be found here. You better believe I’ll be ordering both!

100 Bible Films Released

Last month, Matt Page’s 100 Bible Films was released by BFI last month.

The book can be ordered at Amazon and Bloomsbury. Be sure to check out my interview with Page.
