• The Paracast — the Gold Standard of Paranormal Radio — is also broadcast weekly on IRN Internet Radio Network

    This Week's Episode — April 27: Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear as Gene and cohost Tim Swartz take a break from the paranormal and explore pop culture with Brian Walker, the creator and webmaster of Brian’s Drive-In Theater, where he’s been keeping memories of drive-in films and their stars alive since February 1, 1998. This episode focuses very much on “classic” B-movies, movie serials, and TV shows that focus mostly on super heroes and sci-fi. Brian’s love of films began in childhood with his first Super 8mm projector given to him by his grandmother who also bought him his first film, a four-minute excerpt of a W.C. Fields comedy. Over the last 50 years, he has assembled a film collection from such genres as horror and science fiction, comedy, and action with a special emphasis on B (low budget) movies. Currently calling Morgantown, West Virginia home, Brian is fortunate to live in proximity of a number of still-operating drive-in theaters in the southwestern Pennsylvania area and loves taking his convertible to the drive-in during the warm summer months. His website: www.briansdriveintheater.com

    After The Paracast: Available exclusively to Paracast+ subscribers: The Paracast leaves paranormal pop culture to explore another kind of pop culture, from the world of film. So Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present a return visit from Brian Walker, creator and webmaster of Brian’s Drive-in Theater. There will still be a short segment on how the flying saucers influenced sci-fi movies and TV. There will also be a discussion on film remakes, the few that succeed and the ones that predictably fail. And what about super heroes that have not translated well to film over the decades. Can you name a few? Brian hass been keeping memories of drive-in films and their stars alive since February 1, 1998. His love of films began in childhood with his first Super 8mm projector given to him by his grandmother who also bought him his first film, a four-minute excerpt of a W.C. Fields comedy. Over the last 50 years, he has assembled a film collection from such genres as horror and science fiction, comedy, and action with a special emphasis on B (low budget) movies. Currently calling Morgantown, West Virginia home, Brian is fortunate to live in proximity of a number of still-operating drive-in theaters in the southwestern Pennsylvania area and loves taking his convertible to the drive-in during the warm summer months.

There are many things that fall within the field of the paranormal, and this is your place to discuss the issues that interest you. What's more, it doesn't have to be related to the paranormal. Most any subject is fair game.

Why is it that teenagers no longer seem to get involved in looking for UFOs, as we did when we were young? Your ideas are welcomed, and we'd like to also hear from those under 21, if they're listening.
