Myke Cole Wins Compton Crook Award!
We’re told by the Internet that our friend, Myke Cole, has snatched up a Compton Crook Award from the Baltimore Science Fiction Society this year for his novel Control Point. We’d like to say an enormous congratulations to Myke. He definitely deserves the award. Jen and I (and I’m sure Paul and Julia, too) have enjoyed both of his novels, and we’ve enjoyed every second he’s given to us for podcasts. I imagine this is just the beginning for Myke’s career. Soon, we’ll see his name on other awards lists. So congratulations, Myke. You rock! If you’d like to check out some of our interviews or discussions with Myke, you can do so here, here, here, and here.

To celebrate our third podcast anniversary, we decided to review a film we might actually enjoy! And if it’s not already obvious, we chose Roland Emmerich’s 1994 blockbuster, Stargate. This episode is stuffed with all the stuff you’ve come to expect from Torture Cinema, and much more: our 5-by-5s, a humorous (slightly perverted) skit featuring some of our favorite impressions, and a secret blooper reel (not so secrete really, since I just told you about it).
