[b]Michael McManus this, Michael McManus that…SadGeezer ought to devote a whole [b]section[/b] of this forum to Michael McManus so all you hormone-charged girls can discuss your hero without bothering us serious [i]Lexx[/i] fans! [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif[/img][/B]
First, how sad, really, that was like a 10 on the Envy meter, Deuce. Second, honey, if it weren’t for the “hormone-charged girls,” you’d be [i]seriously[/i] discussing Babylon Five because Lexx would be a fading memory. It was the hands that rock the cradle that rocked the SciFi world and saved Lexx, baby, and don’t you forget it.

Now, moving right along… Did that character, Vincent, sound like he was channeling yellow-eyed Kai, or what? I lucked out and got to listen to the broadcast, so happy camper was I. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] MM was a trip in this short piece. I only recently discovered Atwood. I have a 1st ed. Good Bones and Simple Murders that I guard with my brother’s life. (hey, I’m not that obsessive that I’d risk my own! [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]) But, she’s wonderful! I understand MM also did a few more shows with radio drama but I haven’t tracked them down.(uh, lazy) After hearing that voice on the intro to IWHS, I figured it had to be on tape somewhere. (and, if it wasn’t, what a squandered resource!) Radio shows like these kept me sane when all seven channels in my teeny college town only showed local high school football all day and night. Oh, the second story about the hockey sweater? That was made into an animated film; it was the very first film I saw that got me interested in things Due North. I saw it when the US public TV used to air The Canadian Animated Film Festival features.
