The Virginian Vault: Two Men Named Laredo
On this week's Piercing Pop Culture, I'm bringing The Virginian Vault to podcast form to discuss episode 17 of season three. This week Fabian arrives in Medicine Bow as a cowboy who just might have multiple personalities. Then, we have Trampas (Doug McClure) returning to Shiloh after far, far, far too long away.

In this week's newest episode of Piercing Pop Culture, I'm restarting The Virginian Vault with a look at season three, episode 17: Two Men Named Laredo. Fabian guest stars this week.
We’re uncomfortably late in the year and I’m playing catch-up! What are your 2025 releases that you want to make sure you watch before year end?

I wrote about my experience with Frankenstein tonight. Kids, I learned one thing. I haven’t been giving Jacob Elordi enough credit apparently.
I haven’t read Shelley in far, far, far too long, but I enjoyed myself immensely with this one.

Frankenstein (2025)
Remember 2017’s hotly anticipated “Dark Universe” horror franchise? Yeah, not many do. Nothing really came of it… and rightly so. But lately, I’ve decided something. U…

Today over on Piercing Pop Culture I talk a bit about Mike Henry and his time as Tarzan. I’ve currently seen 2 of the 3 and am questing to find his final one. These are are quirky in a way that only Tarzan in the 60s could be.
I even find a way to mention Skyjacked! Because… of course I did.

Diane Ladd (age 22) in a 1957 episode of the syndicated cop series DECOY.
Her first major TV role is on Tubi, and it's very much worth watching. An unforgettable 65-year career started here:

Re-upping for the night time crowd. I talked a bit about Frogs (1972) on a mini episode of Piercing Pop Culture.
Animals causing trouble in the 1970s is one of my favorite sub-genres.
What are you essential watches in this wide swath of delightfully colorful films?

I sat down to watch Frogs (1972) this week and to make a bad pun, my opinion was hopping all over the place. I had pre-conceived notions and I was hoping, I think, for more than I got.
Though, a pre-mustache Sam Elliott was certainly mind-blowing. I figured he had to be born with it.

Invaders from Mars is one of the movies I'm going to have to proclaim a 'Pleasant Surprise" of 2025. I knew nothing going in and was smitten.
I now need to get my act together and watch the 1986 remake.

Kim tackles the original version of Invaders from Mars (1953) in this week's PPC Video Archive entry. Come one, come call for the always quirky, vintage sci-fi and stay for the far better print than we were expecting.

I'm a sucker for 1950s and 1960s ventriloquists. I admit it. It fascinates me. I finally took the time to sit down and write about one of the figures who opened my eyes. Paul Winchell. This was a fun post to write.
Hopefully more to come.

Pardon While I Fangirl: Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney
This series came to life as an outlet to talk about my acting and music fixations. I'm shameless when I fangirl. And really, that's still true. We're just jumping a lot further back in time. Full disclosure... I'm a sucker for mid-twentieth century ventriloquism. I feel obligated to admit this, because, yes... there will be ventriloquist dummies today. That can be triggering for some.
