This episode, the Planet 8 crew and our honorary crew member, Lord Blood-Rah, take a trip back to the days before the internet, back when the only way we got any news about the latest sci fi films or learned about how all the great movies we loved were made, was through magazines. Yes, we had to go to the bookstore, or the liquor store, or even the smoke shop, to find the periodicals that gave us a peak at the new Star Trek movie, or that Vampirella story, or that amazing Godzilla article. They also gave us a sense of community. Through the pages of Starlog, Famous Monsters, The Monster Times, and others, we heard from people like us from all over the world, who loved the same things we did.
We'll share some of our favorite mags from years gone by. This would be a great episode to check out on our YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@Planet8Podcast! There you can see the magazines we're talking about. We'll cover all the ones you'd imagine, and probably a bunch you may not be thinking of, or have even heard of! Hopefully, for those of you who loved back in those days before the internet, it will be a great blast from the past. And for you youngsters, it will seem like a trip to another world!
For the Sensor Sweep, we suggest you check out Lord Blood-Rah's YouTube channel, where you will find all his great programs like Captain Paxar's Star Cadet Hour! You can learn about it all by going to lordbloodrah.com.
Karen is up to 8 episodes on her YouTube channel, Echoes from the Satellite. Most recently, she looked at the Apple TV adaptation of the Murderbot book series. You can find it here.
Bob shared a monster magazine from Denmark, and a great issue of Cinefantastique. He also shared a book called Fantastic Monsters of the Films, which reprints all of the magazines by the same name, by Bob Burns and Paul Blaisdell. Convention tickets are now on sale for Godzillafest. You can go to Godzillafest.com to buy tickets and get more information.
Larry shared a new favorite figure, a Marvel legends Rom the Spaceknight. He also just got a Lancelot Link DVD set - so you can guess what we may be talking about soon!
We may have to do another episode on magazines! Be sure to let us know about your favorites.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
