I *have*, though we've yet to do an episode on it. Though, I did make a blood oath to cover the life and work of Eric Roberts that Eric Roberts refused to release me from, so it's coming! Nice to still have you around! I love that so many people are still posting here who don't actually watch much - if any - wrestling anymore. And John is still around! And if you want to hear me talk about Burt Ward and Linnea Quigley, you gotta buy the deluxe Blu-Ray with the commentary. We all got to make a living. That's amazing! Congrats for the (academic) success. And I *also* don't know how I could do 75+ podcasts about Eric Roberts. Yet.. here we are. And I really appreciate everyone introducing themselves. Where did we end up landing on whether Mark Henry was the lost great worker of the early 2000s?

Hey! Some of the old (old as in CLASSIC) gang are still around! I'll admit I pretty much stopped watching wrestling entirely after the Benoit incident, though got back into it a couple of years ago with a few PWG shows, and then getting back into DDT and New Japan. Now I obsess over Hiromu Takahashi as much as is probably appropriate. To elaborate slightly on my intro, I have a podcast called "Eric Roberts is the Fucking Man" (http://www.ericrobertsistheman.com), which is a tongue-in-cheek look at the life and work of actor Eric Roberts. We're about 75 episodes in, and the whole thing culminated in a live episode at the Cinepocalypse film festival in Chicago last November, where my co-host and I interviewed Eric live on stage. It was the most surreal thing I've ever experienced, and was followed by us all going for lunch, where we were joined by director Larry Cohen (director of Q THE WINGED SERPENT, THE STUFF, etc.). We got some nice coverage at the time: https://www.avclub.com/a-talking-cat-was-dubbed-in-a-bathroom-and-other-fun-1820415120 We've only done one wrestling-related episode, featuring DVDVR legend Matt Hollinger covering the films Eric Roberts did with Steve Austin (HUNT TO KILL) and Randy Orton (THE CONDEMNED 2) Also, you might remember when I was writing about the BLOODY NIGHTMARES box-set over at the old Movie Feast website, which was a massive 100-film box set of no-budget and microbudget films. Well, I also turned THAT into a podcast called No-Budget Nightmares (http://www.nobudgetpodcast.com) Which has led to some friendships with ultra low-budget directors, and an eventual appearance doing a commentary for J.R. Bookwalter's THE DEAD NEXT DOOR (and his upcoming release of ROBOT NINJA). I'm also shockingly active on social media. Particularly on the hellscape that is Twitter https://twitter.com/Doug_Tilley But thanks so much for the re-intro. I'm still catching up on what has been happening on the board for the last.. holy shit.. 7 years or so.

Hey all! I couldn't find an introduction thread, so I decided to create one. Not that the board needs one, but I wanted to feel special. I'm Manos99 from the old, old, old board. Some might remember me for having helped start the DVDVR movie club back in the day, and also Dean used to trade sweet, sweet wrestling for VHS recordings of CFL games. It was a simpler time. I also forced a few very kind folks from here to write for my Movie Feast blog for a couple of years before I abandoned it and them to find fortune and glory in the ever-profitable world of freelance writing. These days I still write (badly), and also podcast (badly). I have a very misguided podcast about Eric Roberts that some people seem to enjoy. It has a sweary title. Anyway, I have no idea what the rules are for creating self-serving topics on the board. Just wanted to say HELLO and see who is still around.
