Poppleton Terrace is a lovely place to live–a town full of friendly people in tidy houses with neatly tended lawns run by a homeowner’s association that makes sure everything is kept just so. However, in this seemingly idyllic community, good fences don’t always make good neighbors. As the residents gear up for the annual Fourth of July bash at the Nasser’s, decades of resentment boils over and closely kept secrets are revealed in a maelstrom of deception and back-stabbing that will lead four characters to their own separate reckonings. Join the Rag-NERD-rok Crew as we take a long, unflinching look into the black heart of suburbia, and uncover a series of mishaps and betrayals that can only be called a Fiasco!

Here it is, folks: another THUNDERous interview with the Rag-NERD-rok Crew! Who is it? Alright, we won’t be CATty: it’s Larry Kenney, the voice behind Lion-O from the original ThunderCats cartoon (among many other things). We talk with him about his career both before and after ThunderCats, how voice acting works and more. Then, Erik regales us all with his adventures at last month’s BronyCon, while Meyer and Alex try not to hate too much. And last but certainly not least, we read all of the new emails we’ve received, as well as the five-star reviews that people have left us on iTunes (thanks for that!). So join us for an episode filled with famous actors, pony talk and you guys!

Also, Meyer runs out to get some milk for Ryan’s mom. What a guy.

When the blight reaches the small town of Bryson Springs, CA, wiping out the year’s orange crop, hundreds of so-called “Okies” are left to face a miserable existence in a shantytown built on the outskirts of the desiccated grove. But the suffering in Bryson Springs goes far beyond the mundane: something horrifying has taken root in the arid California soil, and a predator beyond comprehension stalks its prey among the dead orange trees. Now, a gruesome death has drawn an FBI agent, his prisoner, an enterprising reporter, and a communist orator into town, but can they figure out what evils plague the destitute farm workers of Bryson Springs, or will they become the latest quarry of a power that defies imagination?

You may remember way back when, in Episode 14, we had Star Wars artist Joe Hogan on the show. Well, Joe’s been working ever since, and he just released his a motion comic version of his original story “The Siren of Dathomir.” It’s pretty fantastic. If you’re a fan of Star Wars (and you probably are if you’re here), you should definitely check it out. It’s high-quality and really, really well done.

In the theater of American politics, all the world’s a stage, and election time is the ultimate audition. But what exactly goes on behind the scenes, so to speak? Who designs the narrative that the actors will play out? Who sets the scene and directs the action? Are the players free agents, or puppets of a larger, more sinister force? Two rival presidential candidates are about to discover the horrifying truth, but can they break their strings, or will they submit to the machinations of their true masters? Listen to find out!
