Thor's Hour Of Thunder

YEE-HAW, it's coybow month! We compare this film to 227: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Check out another cowboy film we covered, 957: Tombstone (1993) The next cowboy topic is Wild Wild West (1999).

We conclude our Philadelphia-themed month, "City of Brotherly Shove", with the quintesential Philly movie. After years of Thor teasing a potential in-person gathering, over a dozen people met up over a weekend to explore: the most historic square mile in the US, one of America’s largest and oldest public markets, America's first zoo, The Mütter Museum, The Colonial Theatre, and of course, Wawa. Cover-art: Scarlet Witch designed the beautiful pantheon member pins and Thor Con program. If you are interested in a limited-edition swag tote bag designed by Thor, e-mail hourofthunder@gmail.com. Philadelphia-area episodes from past years include: 787: The Blob, 822: 1776, 952: National Treasure, and 971: 12 Monkeys. Joe from Films at First Sight took us on a Blob walking tour of Phoenixville PA and the famous Colonial Theatre, which will be discussed in an upcoming episode. Join us next month as we tip our cowboy hats to westerns, starting with El Topo (1970).

It's Philly-ish Month and here's Old Tomato Face's review of the episode: "We barely talked about Philly. We barely talked about the movie. We did talk about old radio serials and not the one you're thinking of." The next episode will be a very special recording from THOR CON Philadelphia, featuring Rocky (1976).

In most cities, this podcast is worthless. But in Philadelphia, it's worth 50 bucks. Scarlet Witch answers many questions about Philly commodities and historical locations in this episode. The next topic in City of Brotherly Shove Month is Fallen (1998).

Here's the Movie Tourist Article Scarlet Witch found, discussing Philadelphia locations in chronological order. We reference episode 734 - The Bonfire of the Vanities, which had the same director. The next Philly Philm will be Trading Places (1983).

Thor's newest themed month is "City of Brotherly Shove", a play on Philadelphia's motto City of Brotherly Love, but capturing the reality of the dangerously passionate sports fans. Poster art is of Gritty dressed as Loki. You can get in the Philly spirit with these previous topics: 787: The Blob, 822: 1776, 952: National Treasure, and 971: 12 Monkeys.

Poster art is of Thor, who decided to dress in clothing that was as antiquated of 2024 as the costumes in Psycho (1998) were for 1998. Mr. Monopoly has finally appeared for the themed month he picked. Thor makes him recap the Psycho films he missed, and Mr. Monopoly was not prepared. Join us next month for City of Brotherly Shove, featuring films set in the Philadelphia area, starting with Blow Out (1981).

The gang took it to the DANGER ZONE! We reference the time Thor and Laurence discussed movies in which the theme songs are better than the movies they were written for.
