    456 | Dragonfly Ripple 3: Twisterns

    In this rerun episode of Dragonfly Ripple: Bringing Up the Next Generation of Nerd, Michael and Carlin talked to their kids about Westerns… with a twist (or "twisterns"). Carlin and Annaliese watched the 1993-94 Bruce Campbell series on FOX, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. while Michael and David delved into the 1960s TV series (and 1990s Will Smith movie) The Wild, Wild West. Both shows are Westerns, but feature sci-fi, spy, and steampunk elements. And the opening chat between Michael and Carlin sets up Episode 4 by talking about the order in which we present the Star Wars films to our children. Plus, in "Jetpack Tiger," we talk about the Star Wars Clone Wars cartoon.

We talk about our favorites, then ride for a few episodes specifically with the Spy Racers show, and finish by pitching our own cartoon series based on live action movies.

    A long book deserves a long conversation and Michael and Jess are here to provide one. We're talking about Stephen King's It: the good, the bad, and the head-scratching. We also talk about adaptations (ever heard of Woh?) and get into lots of spoilers for the recent Welcome to Derry series (but that's at the very end and easy to avoid if you haven't seen the show yet and want to remain unspoiled)
