For International Talk Like a Pirate Day (2022), the guys do a quick episode on Gideon Defoe’s The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists, adapted into The Pirates! Band of Misfits (it was retitled in the U.S.).
The Pirates book with Seth’s hand for reference. It’s a combination of a large-ish hand and a very small book.
The Black Phone, by Joe Hill (feat. Ethan Heasley and Jonathan Watkins)

Seth’s son Ethan joins the team, along with Jonathan Watkins from Cinema Sins, to discuss the new movie The Black Phone, adapted from the 2004 Joe Hill short story of the same name.
All things being equal, this episode would’ve been released for Halloween 2015. But 20th Century Fox decided to push Victor Frankenstein to Thanksgiving Weekend, so it’s Franksgiving, or Thankenstein from the Pavement Pounders!
Under consideration this time are the classic 1818 novel Frankenstein, its equally classic 1931 adaptation, 1935’s Bride of Frankenstein, Mel Brooks’s Young Frankenstein, a couple of other adaptations, and the new film Victor Frankenstein.
In Episode #25, the Pavement Pounders discuss the much-maligned 2004 film I, Robot, based (or is it?) on Isaac Asimov’s classic novel/anthology of the same name. This completes our Robot obligations after previously covering Eando Binder’s short story “I, Robot.”
Also under consideration is the alternate universe version of the movie that we unfortunately never got. Lousy Many Worlds Hypothesis, keeping us from having nice things!
Also, we’ve hit the quarter mark! Woo! Stick with us for another eight years or so and we’ll make 100 episodes! Also to be celebrated is that James has taken one more step toward geekdom since he hadn’t previously read I, Robot. Cash, checks, and baked goods are acceptable gifts for this kind of occasion.

In Episode #23, the Pavement Pounders are joined by Emily (James’s better half) to discuss Ira Levin’s 1972 novel The Stepford Wives and its two film adaptations, from 1975 and 2004.
Big thanks to Emily for suggesting the topic, and to Roger at TheGeekLikes.com for seconding it.
Content warning: This podcast contains some frank discussions on sexuality. Nothing wildly inappropriate, explicit or off-color, but just accurate terms being used. Probably not for young audiences.
