On this episode of the Retro Ridoctopus Cephalopodcast, Parasite Steve welcomes his partner in crime, Derek Rook of Rough House Publishing! Continuing on with our October theme, the ROUGH MASTER GENERAL chats about a book that helped shape his career... that poetic masterpiece of tragedy and of young love lost, "The Crow". Over the course of our longest episode yet, we dig up some inside baseball regarding the original comic before segueing into the Brandon Lee film.

And since it can't rain all the time...

Later, we'll ask you to name a film that is too precious to you to ever be remade, for this week's "Octoponder THIS". And to close out the episode, Nintenjoe highlights his segment's first soundtrack in another awesome "Power To The Metal"!

An underappreciated 80s gem, Captain Power and The Soldiers of the Future was definitely ahead of its time. Written by J. Michael Straczynski, this surprisingly dark, post apocalyptic series was aimed at both kids and adults but struggled to find an audience. We discuss the show, the VHS tapes and the brilliant line of interactive toys!

Later, for the last "Octoponder THIS" of the season, we ask for your favorite short lived TV show. And to close out the episode, Boss Rush Mode lets us know how he really feels about certain types of band logos in another edition of Petting Those Peeves!
