File:Agentdalecooper.jpg

Join Katie (Lady Griffin), Bina (Bina007), and Saad (saad164) at the RR Diner for a cup of black coffee and a slice of cherry pie in this special Twin Peaks episode. The vassals decide their scariest Lynch moment, debate Dale Cooper’s terrible white knight status, cross themselves at the arcane horror that is Leo Johnson’s ponytail, and cap it all off with a game of “Marry, One Night, or Wrapped In Plastic.”

Spoilers for all episodes of the 1990-1991 television series Twin Peaks. Spoilers also for the films Muholland Drive (2001), Lost Highway (1997), Blue Velvet (1986), and Inland Empire (2006). The 2004-2010 television show Lost is discussed with minor spoilers.

VoK 58: Blade Runner [1982] (DVD Commentary)

Posted on January 23, 2014 by vokadmin | Leave a comment

The Vassals dream of electric sheep in this audio commentary for Ridley Scott’s 1982 science-fiction classic Blade Runner (The Final Cut). Join Katie (Lady Griffin), Bina (Bina007), and Duncan (Valkyrist) as they debate whether or not Deckard is a replicant and (maybe) drive off into the mountains for a happy ending.

The movie should be synced from 7:00 to 2:05:00, and the commentary itself will begin exactly 1 minute into the movie, due to minor recording issues.

VoK 45: Alien [1979] (DVD Commentary)

Posted on December 13, 2013 by Valkyrist | Leave a comment

Have you been dreaming of a Red Christmas? Join vassals Duncan (aka Valkyrist) and Katie (aka Lady Griffin) as they delve into the blood-splattered, chest-bursting masterpiece that is Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979). This is the third entry in a potential “Sci-Fi Classics” audio commentary series.

The commentary itself runs from 6:36 to 2:01:26, and the opening production logos will be played at full volume in order for the listener to sync up their copy of the movie correctly. We used the Director’s Cut edition of the movie, released in 2003.

Warning: Contains plot spoilers for Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3.
