Zone 4 #264: Pulptastic!

from Zone 4 Hosted by Brant Fowler

The crew returns with a special all-pulp episode! Sadly, John was absent due to being carried off into the jungle by Grodd, Congorilla and Bleep for a birthday party (John likes monkeys), and he contracted some gorilla flu. But the rest of the crew pressed on. First up, Captain Ron filled us in on his adventures at PulpFest 2013 with some special contemporary shout-outs. Then, the guys covered two pulp inspired comics written by Mark Waid: The Rocketeer/The Spirit: Pulp Friction #1, and Green Hornet #4. And for the main topic, it was all about the BBC/PBS Sherlock television series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. And there are new shout-outs this week! Plus some plugs. So strap on your housecoat, sit back in your cozy leather chair, and gear up for some all pulp fun. It's time to enter the Zone!

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
