Camela Thompson and Z.D. Gladstone venture into one of Z.D.'s least favorite genres: Horror! The Shining is a classic in the literary and film worlds, but the two are very different. The cohosts discuss the virtues and quirks of the book, the contrasts to the movie, and King's ability to capture the nuances and pains involved in addiction.

This week's geeky query: Which psychic ability would you like to have and why? Also, what ability would you not like to have?

Note from Camela Thompson: This episode was recorded in a timely manner, but not posted as promised. Apologies! 

Camela Thompson and Z.D. Gladstone review the September book of the month: Frankenstein! Writing styles have changed dramatically over the years, but Shelley's themes and philosophical questions have proven timeless. Both cohosts also note the book has very little to do with the classic movie portrayals. Where did Igor come from?

Have you read the book? What did you think?

There was a gaggle of geeks this week on Shadows on the Sound! Camela Thompson and Z.D. Gladstone were joined by Michael G. Munz and a technical guru who wishes to be known as Archangel. Our topic: Artificial Intelligences--mostly the evil AIs. We look at the benevolent, the malicious, the apathetic, and the attractive. We were hard pressed to give an "ugly" example.

This week's Geekly Query: Would you rather be controlled by a benevolent AI or would you rather be in charge of reforming an evil AI?

Next week's episode: The review of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

Z.D. Gladstone and Camela Thompson are joined by video game reviewer and enthusiast, Brandon Erickson, to look at the Resident Evil franchise. They did their best to look at each of the mediums and analyze them based on their own merit. It wasn't much of a contest.

Please feel free to use the comments or email icon to answer the weekly geeky question or give us any feedback. We'd love to hear from you.

This week Camela Thompson is joined by Lance Thompson and Dr. Steve Matthewson to discuss horror movies. Their assignment was to watch Insidious, Insidious: Chapter 2, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, and Big Ass Spider. Because of the array of movies covered, they discuss many more films, the tropes in horror, and why we are drawn to fear.
