Drew, I'm nearing the end of the podiobook version and wanted to review it on Goodreads, but it wasn't on there, so I put it on. You might want to swing by and claim it and add a cover.

Well, that is quite interesting. The questions that occur to me are:

Does Archie ever get an answer?

Is Mary upset about being trapped? Does she wish some kind of revenge, or is she happy with this kind of immortality?

What happens when Archie dies? Who gets the film then?

Is it a different scenario every time he threads the film?

If he's only done it once in seven years, what's keeping him from doing it more often?

Very interesting premise. I'd like to see what you do with this. :)

Yeah, I usually just change up the original Tweet so the message does not drift too much, and I get the URL correct. I like the Rehashed ReTweet, Maybe just shorten it to HashTweet!

Thanks for the comment.

I noticed you doing that. I also noticed that they were sort of rehashed retweets. Is that a good name for it?

I'm lazy, I just RT. I guess that makes me an Unhashedretweeter. Or something.

I know, it can be hard NOT to kill the puppy. You just have to try to restrain yourself!

Dang. I ALWAYS kill the puppy.

Oh, the labels came knocking, but we didn't want to sell out and be all commercial and successful! : )

Also, Todd the drummer moved to South Korea, and Kim moved to San Francisco, so the band sort of drifted apart.

Cool list, Drew! Of those on the list, I could most see Ace Ventura, Back to the Future, and Star Wars as actually happening, and possibly even becoming surprise hits!

Two things I'd like to add. First, some folks on the internet actually did do a Star Wars musical about ten years ago. Complete mp3 files available on their official site here: http://www.infauxmedia.com/

Second, on the time-traveling 80's-movie tangent, there was at one point a Bill and Ted's Excellent Musical Adventure! You can read about it and listen to the mp3's over at http://www.billandted.org/ (scroll down the frame on the left to "the musical" link. It's surprisingly good!

I can see Hellraiser as a grand opera. It would totally work!

I'm thinking Hellraiser: The Musical is a must do. Imagine Pinhead singing about the pleasures of the flesh...

Hey Drew, I humbly bow before you. I'm about halfway through writing my second novel, so I won't be joining you at two for several months yet. Loved your post...

I'm scared, Drew. He's clearly gone off the deep... poor James.

Thanks so much for listening! I am glad you found your way over here and are enjoying the show.

Please let me know if I can give you any help in any way with your novel - as much as it is weird out there for publishing, I think NOW is the time to be producing media of any kind! Good luck!

Hey, just wanted to say I'm a new listener (came over from the cross-promotion on JC Hutchins' super-fan thing), but I'm really enjoying the story so far! I listened to it pretty much all day at work yesterday, and even some while at home, just to catch up. I'm somewhere around episode 13 now, I think, so I'm glad there's a new one already!

Very cool story so far, I think my favorite character, at least in how you do the voice, is Coyote. I could be biased, though, I live with a coyote-like person. :-} I also think it's cool that Anansi is an actual black man, unlike some other fictional depictions of him I've seen.

You're inspiring me, I have a novel in my head that, if ever written, will be released as a podiobook. Listening to more of them, I know that's a fun way to go these days. Keep it up!
