Eric and The Barbarian (Unrated/PG)   (30 Minutes - Video - Rating: PG)
Eric is a sweet natured young man who's timid demeanour cowers in the face of bullying at work. His colleagues at the grimey debt collecting agency are the ogres and orcs of Eric's world. Odin played by Brian Blessed looks down from above on Eric's struggles, pitying the poor manchild. So Odin sends his son, the barbarian Thannuth Warwolf to help Eric become a man. Much like an imaginary friend, only Eric can see the Barbarian. The Barbarian is a wild and surreal warrior who is very much out of place in a British office environment. Warwolf is used to slaying demons and monsters rather than photocopying and dodging office politics. Yet he strives to inspire Eric on his quest to stand up to the bullies and overcome his inner demons. Can Eric unleash the warrior within? Or is he doomed to be insecure forevermore?

THE GREEN HORNET with Van Williams and Bruce Lee: "Programmed for Death"   (30 Minutes - Video - Rating: G)
For a TV series that lasted only one season, the 1966 The Green Hornet show still continues to influence the treatment of the character in coimic books, film, and even comic strips (i.e.: the recent crossover into Dick Tracy). In this, the pilot episode, Daily Sentinel publisher/owner Britt Reid and his partner Kato investigate the bizarre death of a Sentinel reporter. With a more serious nature than its counterpart Batman and a memorable score by Billy May and Al Hirt, you can see why De Boss considers this one of the best TV super-hero adaptations of all time!

THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN with George Reeves: "Superman on Earth", "The Mind Machine"   (1 Hour - Video - Rating: PG)
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the world's first and greatest comic book superhero, Superman. For many long time fans, George Reeves was the personification of the Man of Steel until 1978 when Christopher Reeve made the role his own. As a tribute to Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster for creating not only a great character but also a symbol of humanity and kindness, De Boss presents two of his favorite AOS episodes. First, the coming of Superman to our planet (watch for the costumes of Captain Marvel and Flash Gordon being reused by the Kryptonian Science Council). And then, witnesses against a Metropolis crime boss begin dying once they take the stand... and Lois Lane's turn is soon to come! Can Superman ferret out the cause of these mysterious deaths before it's too late?

A co-worker confronts Mamoru on his apparent apathy toward life, and this results in Mamoru leaving his job out of humiliation. Now alone and without work, just as it seems that things could not possibly get worse, parts of Mamoru's bicycle begin to disappear, one by one. In frustration, Mamoru leaves a note for the thief, begging him to just take the whole thing. The note left in response is signed God, leaving Mamoru only more confused. At last, when the only remaining piece of the bicycle is a lonely bell, Mamoru receives an envelope, containing addresses at which each piece of the bicycle might be retrieved. Puzzled yet intrigued, Mamoru embarks on a journey to resurrect and reassemble his beloved possession. As he seeks out each piece of the missing whole, Mamoru begins to discover that he himself is in a healing process. As he puts his bike together piece by piece, he realizes that he himself is in the process of being reassembled in the same way, by one far greater than himself.

Are fanzines dead?   (1 Hour - Expert Panel)
Printed fanzines were once the very heart and soul of science fiction fandom. Yet, after the advent of the internet, they have apparently died out in favor of things like blogs, web pages, youtube and so on. Personally, I tried doing a print fanzine a couple of years ago. While it was fun to do, it was a money pit. Will fanzines ever come back? While the internet is great for its immediacy, there is much to be said for the joy of anticipation as you went to the mailbox, to either get letters from fans, or to receive fanzines that you have sent letters to. Finally, is fandom better off or worse off because of the internet?

The Doctor is almost immediately forced to give up some of his DNA to create a new soldier... a genetically-spawned daughter (Georgia Moffett)! So how weird is this: Georgia is Peter Davison's daughter, and David later married Georgia and they had a baby girl. So the Doctor's daughter portrayed the Doctor's daughter, married the Doctor and had the Doctor's daughter. I'd think about this more seriously, but I fear a brain aneurism.

Survivalism for authors   (1 Hour, 30 Minutes - General Discussion)
Survivalism is seen as a stereotype, not the real spectrum that it is. It ranges from having funds to handle economic downturns to complete failure of society. If you know the differences, and values of each, you can portray them properly. Perhaps 0.001% prepare for/want a full collapse. 0.5% of people can handle 6 months of no income (where all should be). In fact, few can/will survive even a partial collapse of society. Only a tiny number of authors realistically portray what it would be like. If you understand the spectrum, you can write a realistic plot.

DOCTOR WHO with Peter Capaldi, David Bradley, and Jodie Whittaker: "Twice Upon a Time"   (1 Hour, 30 Minutes - Video - Rating: G)
The Doctor is pushing back against his regeneration... both of him! The Twelfth Doctor encounters the First at the North Pole, along with a confused and injured British captain plucked fresh from a foxhole in World War I. But how is Bill still alive and in a decidedly uncybernetic body... and what is the purpose of the android known as Testimony? If you don't own a box of kleenex, buy one and bring it.
