On Monday (1/21), I’ll be sitting down with long running Philly improv group, Iron Lung! Comprised of Simon Burger, Jess Carpenter, Maureen Costello, Tara Demmy, Ellen Q Jaquette, Carly Maurer Kaufmann, Kevin Pettit, Dennis Trafinator and Corin Wells, Iron Lung will soon be hitting their 2 year birthday which will be marked with a party/show (January 25th). We’ll chat a bit about them individually and what pushed them into improv, their individual projects, how they met, how they formed the team, balancing various projects, and a bunch of other stuff. Also, Kevin and Corin will probably insult me. Repeatedly. So, good times will be had. If you have any questions to pose to the team or any indival on it, feel free to post on the site or where this is linked.
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.
