On Monday I’ll be sitting down to chat with Philly comedian, Doogie Horner, for the next Gettin’ Close Podcast. Doogie has been performing stand-up comedy in Philly for a while now. He has performed around the country and was also seen on in a very memorable moment on America’s Got Talent (“I didn’t even get to tell any of my jokes!”). I saw Doogie feature with Greg Proops a few weeks ago and he was fantastic. He also runs the show “Ministry of Secret Jokes”, which I have yet to see, but have heard great things about since moving back to Philly. If you have the chance to see him, do anything- do so. Any questions can be posted here, or if you’re a member of the Philly Comedy Network you can post on the string there. Podcast will be posted here and on iTunes by Wednesday 8/1 (probably).
Khazad-damn!: ROP S02E08
In this episode of the Beacons are Lit we’re discussing The Rings of Power S02E08. This is the season finale, which means after this episode, much like the Balrog of the Misty Mountains, the Rings of Power disappears for a long period only to come back when Amazon digs too deep. The Dwarves show up to save whoever is left at Eregion, Celebrimbor tells Sauron he’s going to the bad place, King Durin goes toe to head to horn with the Balrog, Adar gets a glow up shortly before getting Jon Snowed, Elendil has r-u-n-n-o-f-t as Numenor turns on the faithful, Isildur leaves his babe behind to go back home, Kemmen continues to grow his hater base, Cirdan is nowhere to be seen, and lots more for better or worse. We’re on another break, but will return soon with our awards episodes for The Two Towers and Return of the King. Lots more planned… but not scheduled.
