Sat, 20 Jul 2024 03:35:42 +0000

The clash of metal rang out as T-Bone's axe met the stranger's blade, a hidden sword now gleaming in the moonlight. Sparks flew, illuminating the fierce determination and sweat beaded in T-Bone's eyes. Ty Fighter circled around, seeking an opening, his scimitar trained on the enemy. Fissure Floodplain, Kutchek number two henchman, moved with a fluidity that spoke of years of combat, his every motion calculated and deadly. As the two warriors fought with primal fury, the Floodplain’s laughter cut through the chaos, a chilling reminder of their peril.

In the midst of the fray, a deafening roar erupted from the darkness beyond. The ground trembled beneath their feet as a massive, armored vehicle, bristling with weapons and adorned with grotesque trophies, thundered into view. Kutcheck’s war machine, a behemoth that had laid waste to countless challengers, bore down upon them. Floodplain leapt back, his face twisting into a mocking sneer. "You fight well, but this is where your legend ends," he spat, retreating to the shadows. T-Bone and Ty Fighter turned to face the oncoming juggernaut, their hearts pounding. As the war machine's cannons locked onto them, the roar of its engines drowned out all other sound, leaving the two barbarians staring down their doom with unyielding resolve.

Time Barbarians- February 1980

Sun, 05 Nov 2023 03:31:06 +0000

In the desolate, post-apocalyptic world of Hyronia, where rotting metal and crumbling cities lay in twisted ruins, two unlikely heroes emerged from the shadows. Ty Fighter and T-bone, fierce barbarians with an unbreakable bond, had returned battered and bruised from a most unusual adventure. With the shimmering aura of time travel Kirby dots surrounding them, they had journeyed to the month of January 1980 and returned clutching Star Trek the Motion Picture Happy Meal toys, their clobbered brows adorned with an inexplicable joy. It was a desperate act to find a means of restoring hope to their ravaged land.

The people of Hyronia had known only destruction and despair for generations, but legends spoke of a mystic seer with the power to manipulate the threads of time itself. In their quest for salvation, Ty Fighter and T-Bone sought the counsel of, Freya the enigmatic oracle, a figure cloaked in the veils of mystery and ageless wisdom.

Upon entering the mystic seer's sanctum, the room was filled with incense and the soft hum of arcane energies and elliptical machines. The seer, her eyes veiled in shadows, revealed to the time-traveling barbarians the true purpose of their journey. The Happy Meal baubles were not the relics they needed; instead, they must return to February 1980, a month shrouded in secrets, and retrieve another artifact. The fate of their world depended on it, and with a solemn nod, the seer sent them on yet another adventure through time. Find out what high adventure awaits in TIME BARBARIANS OF THE 1980's IN TIME!!

Clearcut (1991) pt II

Tue, 18 Jan 2022 02:59:35 +0000

After a slight hiccup trying to figure out the new audio equipment, part II is finally here. In this episode we delve into the mystique of the character Arthur, played with precision point perfection by Graham Greene. You'll find out more why this is one of the greatest scripts ever written, we also compare and contrast more sections as I read a few key passages from the book the film was based on that may add a little more context to the film.

Clearcut (1991) part I

Sun, 02 Jan 2022 15:45:00 +0000

We're back FINALLY with a much keener setup thanks to you generous listeners! On this episode, we're celebrating our First Nations relatives in Canada, by discussing the INTENSE, groundbreaking, and rarely seen Canadian folk horror production, Clearcut (1991) staring the always reliable Graham Greene and Floyd Red Crow Westerman. If you haven't seen it, it is available on YouTube.This was Greene's first role coming off the ENORMOUS success of his Oscar nominated performance of Kicking Bird in Dances with Wolves. You can definitely tell he was on a mission to kick the typecast he was inevitably pidgeonhole'd in. He turns in an incredible, groundbreaking performance that will forever change how you view him as an actor.

We also discuss a little bit about the making of the film, the UNBELIEVABLE true story of the film's director, Rhyzard Bugajski, the book A Dream Like Mine by author MT Kelly, which the screenplay is based, and it should be taught in University film courses.

Fri, 18 Dec 2020 04:00:00 +0000

HO HO HOKA-HEY! Merry Christmas! It's a Skoden surprise drop right before Christmas. That's right ol NDN Claus restrung the muffler with some fresh baling wire. He put brand new strips of packing tape on the war pony windshield and he's ready to fill some Crown Royal bags hung by the chimney with care full of Bepsie and fried baloney sandwiches. Welcome to the very first HOLIDAY themed episode, featuring one of MY FAVORITE Native movies of all time, Pow Wow Highway.

In this episode, Turtle does a deep dive on one of the most often quoted, iconic buddy road trip films that very few people have ever seen. It features two of the most unforgettable, realistic performances in independent film history, Buddy Red Bow (A. Martinez) and Philbert Bono (Gary Farmer). We talk about the importance of this film and how it relates to contemporary Native portrayals, the history of Protector, the war pony as told in the novel, and even a shirtless Rodney A. Grant just for the hoktes.

The film is also notable for the on screen debut of Wes Studi, and includes cameos from Graham Greene, John Trudell, and Floyd Red Crow Westerman, just to name a few. We also talk about how difficult it is to shoehorn this film into one particular genre as it shapeshifts act to act. All that entertainment packed into one solid hour of conversation. So join me....on the POW WOW HIGHWAY.
