Broadcasting from their respective socially distant quarantine bunkers, the Dragon Con American Sci-Fi Classics Track panelists have returned to talk about which classic vampires they would let near their necks.

Classics Track co-directors Joe Crowe and Gary Mitchel are joined by Jason De La Torre and Michael Williams to talk about vampires in ’80s and ’90s movies and TV. Lost Boys! Interview with a Vampire! Near Dark! Forever Knight!

More things like that!

Quarantine Con, Episode III
May 8, 2020

This week’s “can’t let it go” is more classic science fiction discussion.

It’s the irregulars from Dragon Con American Sci-Fi Classics Track, back once again from their individual COVID-19 quarantine bunkers, this time discussing the works of Mister Wigglestick.

Or was that Shakespeare?

More specifically, the weirdest adaptation of the Bard’s works.

Classics Track co-directors Joe Crowe and Gary Mitchel are joined by Tegan Hendrickson and Bethany Kesler. Gary wants everybody to figure out what obvious adaptation they forgot. He also wants you to know that Deanna (his long-time co-host on the RevolutionSF RevCast) says that it’s all his fault.

Quarantine Con, Episode II
May 1, 2020

This week’s “can’t let it go” is a second verse, but not the same as the first.

What’s the same is the number of Dragon Con American Sci-Fi Classics Track members. What’s also the same is that they’re broadcasting from their individual COVID-19 quarantine bunkers.

What’s different? Justice.

Classics Track co-directors Joe Crowe and Gary Mitchel are joined by Kevin Eldridge as they host another edition of Classic Sci-Fi Court. The honorable(?) Judge Crowe presides as Kevin defends Spacehunter, Adventures in the Forbidden Zone and Gary tackles the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
