The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #505 and Like A Hood Ornament #75: Reading "The Rocketeer" Movie Novelization Chapter 18

This week, I'm reading the eighteenth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This short chapter takes place in the Bulldog Diner and features a scene where Cliff falls down a ladder from the attic after he is startled by Patsy, the daughter of the proprietress, Millie, and in the censored version we'd taped off the Disney channel when I was a kid, they actually dubbed over the work "heck," so instead of "you scared the living ... heck out of me!" it became "you scared the living daylights out of me!"  It's funny, when I think of that scene, it's still the censored version I hear in my head :) In other news, I have been getting Once Upon a Dream reading for production (6/13/25 is the release).  In the process, I made a "study mix" from some of the instrumental tracks.  If you click here, you can listen to it on Youtube. Thanks for listening!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?
