BONUS: Live reading of X-Files: Bad Blood on Zoom
3w ago00:05:56Tap to summarizeHappy THORsday, the truth is out there! Long before Thor's Hour of Thunder existed as a podcast, the gang performed radio dramas live on college radio. With many new friends collected over a decade, the pantheon performed another LIVE reading. Here is a preview of the reading, and some behind the scenes audio. The entire performance of the Dramatic Reading of X-Files: Bad Blood (S5, E12) can be found on YouTube. If you're looking for our discussion of the classic X-Files episode, that can be found in episode 987, part of Thor's two months of Halloween X-tacular 2023. Check out our amazing Dana Scully lookalike The Xandra Files. Next week we return to our year of numbers with Apollo 18 (2011).

1129: 6 out of 10 Films
Apr 2000:59:42Tap to summarize"This totally counts guys for week 16. This is 100% allowed under the dumb rules that totally exist that we're following. If you don't like it, name 16 movies with 16 in the title. See, you can't. So sit down, shut up, and listen to Thor and the gang talk about movies that are one up from meh. Also tell 16 people about us. And do 16 push ups. Do it; we'll know if you didn't. Go on, you can do it." ~ Old Tomato Face, the brains behind the year of numbers. Next week will be 17 Again (2009).
