Docket 27 - 2025 Public Domain Day

Calling a Recess

I was working on the episode and I just... couldn't get a sentence together. My editor suggested I take a break so I will. I also will come back. I love this.

Docket 28 - Batman Returns (and it's effect on Super hero movies)

My voice still isn't quite right. So my apologies on either weird sounds or thoughts not completely tracking. My editor really liked this more vibe based analysis, but next time should be one with more support. I just saw Batman Returns for the first time last year. A theater put it on as a Christmas movie. I admit it didn't QUITE land for me, but it was enjoyable.

Since the time of recording and the time of posting, Poe managed to jump into my second Which just... thank you Alan Wake crew. I hope you come back to see how much Alan Wake I can cram into this over all. But yes, Public Domain Day has returned! I love it, I love seeing what else we can get, and I can't wait until more comes. In the mean time, enjoy early Tin Tin and go check out Project Gutenberg.

Docket 26 - Poe

Hello everyone! Something a bit fun before we go into Holidays. Next episode is the Public Domain Day episode! Unfortunately most of the early info is not online. I did end up emailing the LA Public Library Archives for information and may update the sources if I get info. Speaking of: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qTyY4pmMmskTsPT4tTagp3vt_Vqb-88Is00o4b-7Msc/edit?usp=sharing [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qTyY4pmMmskTsPT4tTagp3vt_Vqb-88Is00o4b-7Msc/edit?usp=sharing] So, one full year finished. Thank you for sticking with me. I've enjoyed my work here.

Docket 25 - James Bond and Kevin McClory

Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hm9EtP2Am_2nLRm4bdQiDRz8T3pF5OAKyNEryH_pwik/edit?usp=sharing [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hm9EtP2Am_2nLRm4bdQiDRz8T3pF5OAKyNEryH_pwik/edit?usp=sharing] I was alerted to this story over on Blue Sky and I'm so glad I was. This was a lot of fun to dig into, especially as a lot of it was stuffy I had vaguely heard only as "legal troubles" But as I had never really watched James Bond I kind of forgot. A lot of this research comes from a book called "Battle for Bond" that... I genuinely could not find. It was incredibly out of print, the nearest library that had it was over 500 miles away, I couldn't find it on Archive.org [http://Archive.org] nothing. There was some other legal trouble in that, but it was not as relevant to this script. Also, speaking of Blue Sky, yeah my outtro is out of date due to... everything. I'll update it in the new year and the 2025 Public Domain Day episode.
