ARTIST OF THE WEEK

We have decided to discontinue our Artist Of The Week feature. We have recieved little feedback from either prospective artists or our listeners, and so this feature has been discontinued effective with today's show.

THE BRAND NEW POPCORN N ROSES...

The new site still has a few bugs here and there, and the subsites aren't completely finished yet, but over the next 30 days, things will fall into place.

RADIOTC is back on the air!  I ran my own music website for nearly three years while working at the now-defunct DiscJockey.Com in the late 90s, and i've decided it's time to get back into music commentary. Right now, it's just kind of basic, and i'm reprinting some old stuff, revising it for today's music, and on November 1, I'll launch my first new series as I count down my choices for the Top 100 Christmas/Holiday Songs of All Time!  Two a day from 100-11, and then one a day for the Top Ten. It's gonna be a fun ride, and i'll be jazzing it up with music, I-Tunes links, and tons more as we head towards the end of the year. But I hope you'll all check it out - http://radiotc.com! And please, any suggestions to make you want to visit RadioTC all the time, send 'em along to the usual address!

More great stuff will be coming throughout the week! So keep tuned in and keep checking with PNR for all the latest goofy stuff we do!

Check out Steven Bacon and his music at http://stevenbacon.com - if you're a fan of singer/songwriters, trust me you will LOVE HIM - He's AWESOME!!  He has posted audio of his adventure at the Swell Season concert, and also a free download of his song "Charlie Wants To Run", which he performed at the concert, on his website, so go grab them now!

VideoRevue is back...well, sort of! Monica and Johnny Swanson have launched "Weekly Revue" as a way to keep up with their podcast around their busy school and college schedules. You can hear the latest edition by heading on over to M&J's blog at http://videorevuepodcast.com!

There are some really exciting changes coming in the next few weeks...changes that will affect both the site and the podcast. The first change, as I mentioned on the podcast a couple weeks back, is the debut of our new Subject:CINEMA Audio Archives. This will include not only links to every show and the show notes for each show (eventually on that last one), but also specially remixed segments of our Movie Reviews, the Attack of The B Movies coverage, Chlotrudis and Brattle Theater events, and more. The grand opening of the SCAA is TOMORROW! The movie reviews will be available when we open, and the show library will hopefully be up later in the week.

Beginning tomorrow night, as I mentioned on the podcast, I will be in the Popcorn N Roses Connection chat room (http://popcornnroses.ning.com) on Monday and Tuesday evenings during ABC's telecast of Dancing With The Stars- that's 8-9:30 PM ET on Monday and 9-10 PM ET on Tuesday - for the reat of the show's season. I hope some of you will stop by, say hi, and maybe stick around and chat for a while! More regular chat times are coming soon, so stay tuned!

Other changes are coming soon, and you'll want to stay tuned right here at PNR, because we're going to be finally launching the Street Team site, and a few other things we hope you're gonna love. As PNR closes in on its fourth year of operations, we hope you'll be right here with us!

See you with more S:C next Saturday for our DoubleShot Weekend!

Subject:CINEMA #131 - "This Show REALLY Sucks - Vampires In The Movies!"

Our annual Halloween shows - this year dubbed "Screen Screams!" - begin as TC and Kim look at Vampires in the movies!

Of course, we cover the many incarnations of Dracula, and also hit a TON of other onscreen bloodsuckers, including movies like INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE, THE LOST BOYS, NEAR DARK, and the upcoming TWILIGHT!

Plus TC and Kim discuss their trip to New York to see Daniel Radcliff in EQUUS, plus a tribute to Paul Newman, this week's Dancing With The Stars coverage, a related Bonehead Of The Week, the latest Email, and this week's Attack Of The B Movies!

THIS WEEK'S NOTES:

As we kick off our annual Halloween shows, and start to recharge from our whirlwind trip to the Big Apple, we'll be making a few changes to the site and to the show. Over the next few days, i'll try to post a few blogs to let our listeners and readers know what's going on and what plans are in store, so be sure to keep tuned in!

I hope everyone voted for S:C in the Podcast Awards - we're hoping to at least be nominated this year, and we'll find out later in the month.

Don't forget to support this podcast by donating a dollar to the Just A Buck program - we depend on your donations to stay afloat - without it, we can't bring you all the great stuff we do!

Our trip to NYC was great fun, and we've posted photos of it, along with other photos, on our brand new Flickr account, and you can see them by going to our Flickr site at http://flickr.com/photos/popcornnroses/. We'd LOVE to start a "listener contributions" section of the new photo site, so if you're a regular listener and would like to have your photo added, please send us a snap and we'll get it posted!

The next edition of our live call in show, Subject:CINEMA's Reel LIVE!, will be along in early November, so keep listening to find out when it's going to take place.  Also, we're thinking about doing a weekly chat on our network site, Popcorn N Roses Connection; we need YOUR input to know when the best time for all of us to get together and chat would be!

Keep spreading the gospel of Subject:CINEMA, and help us continue to grow - and thanks for your support throughout all this time on the air so far!

Next week: Screen Screams continues with "A REAL SELF MADE MAN - FRANKENSTEIN AT THE MOVIES!" Join us then!

Subject:CINEMA #129 - "Underrated The Third"

Kim and TC give their annual list of movies you should see that the critics and public either trashed or ignored and that deserved better than what they got...12 great movies we love that you're missing out on if you listen to the critics or the public reception...

Plus...Attack Of The B Movies, Bonehead Of The Week, Subject:CINEMA's CINEMA SUBJECTS, coverage of stop number 4 on the 2008 AST Dew Tour, and a review of The Swell Season as they hit the Boston area for a third time...

Steven, I'll be in touch...

Next Sunday: "Mission:Genesis - Clones, Dopplegangers, And Other Assorted Copies!"  BE THERE! ALOHA!

As promised on last week's Subject:CINEMA...

We mentioned on this past week's S:C  how National Amusements have been putting some money into the Attack Of The B Movies series this season...but someone needs to tell their slidemaker that they need to learn how to spell... I don't think I've ever seen "leagues" spelled QUITE this way before...It made for a good laugh in the audience last week...
