Happy Thanksgiving! We asked listeners to vote for an episode from a list of titles originally broadcast during the week of Thanksgiving. The results are in and we are listening to “The Thing from the Sea” from Dark Fantasy! Originally aired in 1941 (although according to The Digital Deli , it was broadcast December 5th rather than November 28th), this is the story of a lost ship stumbling upon an island that has just reemerged from the ocean. What became of the civilization that once lived here? What fate does the strange creature in the young woman’s dream foretell? Are you sure you wouldn’t rather vote for The Green Hornet? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

Actual story was dumb but commentary hilarious. One of my fave podcast episodes!
Kind of looks like King Moonracer from Rudolph. Come to think of it, having them wander onto the Island of Misfit Toys might have been a better story.
Two major points here: 1) your overall dislike of the story was warranted for many reasons but the bashing expressed in your discussion was too ham-fisted to duly honour the aspects that worked. It was good to hear Joshua mention the surreal nature of the lack of character-driven reactions that Eric doesn’t like.
