Weekend Discussion Thread: Which Letter Writer Do You Wish You Could Track Down

One highlight of the Turkey Day marathon was the appearance of young lady named Ashley Holtgraver (shown above) (who goes by the stage name of Christmas Disco-Marie Sagan when she performs with a band called Freezepop–she’s a web developer in real life). When she was 8, she wrote a letter to the show, which Joel read in episode 416- FIRE MAIDENS FROM OUTER SPACE.

Honestly, I would love to be able to track down ALL the people, especially the kids, who wrote in.

Which brings us to this week’s WDT: Which letter writer would you like to find out about? Me, I’d like to find that kid who complained that episodes of the show were shown during the day “…and I’m in school falling asleep.” I worry about that kid and I hope he took Joel’s advice and got into breakfast.

What’s yours?

Turkey Day, and Another Joel Interview

Turkey Day 2015 is history. The six films shown were “Outlaw (of Gor),” “Eegah!” “Gorgo,” “Teenagers from Outer Space,” “Danger! Death Ray” and “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.” The interstitial bits were filmed at he Kickstarter headquarters, and Kickstarter employees were alongside Joel as he introduced each film.

Speaking of Kickstarter, during the final movie the total crashed through the 3 million mark, and as of this writing (early Friday evening) is still climbing toward the next goal, $3.3 million.

Meanwhile, Dan O’Sullivan of Motherboard.Vice.com interviewed Joel.
