If you like the show, please review us on iTunes!  We could use the love.  And, of course, we hope you enjoy this episode. Question of the Week: We actually have a request instead of a question.  You might recall that we have a tagline at the beginning of each episode.  Well, we’d like you to help us come up with the tagline for next week’s episode.  Come up with a funny, ridiculous, cool, or downright weird tagline and send it to us.  You can email your taglines to skiffyandfanty [at] gmail [dot] com or send us a voicemail at 206-203-1686!  You can also leave a comment here or follow us on twitter.  We’d love to hear your creative responses!  (The only rule is that your tagline needs to be relatively clean; no curse words.) Here’s the episode (show notes are below): Episode Fifteen — Download (MP3) Intro:  Literary Science Fiction vs. Literary Fantasy (0:00 – 22:45): Main Event:  Torture Cinema — In the Name of the King (22:46 – 1:00:45): In the Name of the King (IMDB) Feel free to send us your suggestions for a terrible science fiction or fantasy movie that we should watch.  It doesn’t have to be a movie you’ve seen, by the way.  If you’ve heard that something is awful and want us to watch it for you, we will! The End:  Reading and Writing; the Question of the Week (1:00:46 – 1:03:44) That’s all, folks!  See you next week.
