12/7 Update (STRANGERS IN PARADISE, DEATH CODE: NINJA...and SPACEHAWK!)

Yes, there were Strangers In
Paradise
trading cards.  
Good day, my friends! I hope you’ve enjoyed the second episode of Strangers In Paradise: The Audio Drama.  We’re still reeling from the reception of our debut--not only was that first episode the most downloaded production in November on the Two True Freaks Network after only four days of release, it’s presently the third most downloaded production for all of 2020.  

Let that sink in for a moment.

Thank you all!  You must really like what we’re laying down, and I hope we can continue to keep you entertained as we adapt the entire epic.  The present plan is for writing to begin on Season Two, I Dream of You after Christmas with the intention of releasing it starting late March.  Be sure to check our production schedule, which has recently been updated, for more information.

This weekend we finally put a lid on Death Code: Ninja, and recorded two bonus features for the ‘Collector’s Edition’ that will be available for a modest fee in February.  You’ll be able to hear interviews with Femmie London (who plays Yuki in our 80‘s martial arts spy action epic) and writer David Ellis.  Sometime this week, I will be reviving the popular ‘Come To The Movies’ format to watch, react to and review the actual Death Code: Ninja, which will also be part of the Collector’s Edition.  If there’s something else you’d like to see as a bonus feature, please contact us at ocadecagonagontheaterworks@gmail.com!

Oh...you might have noticed that there’s something new on the release schedule.  The last Friday in January, we will be releasing the first episode of Public Domain Comic Theater for 2021 in collaboration with YouTuber FizzFop.  You may be familiar with Fizz’ ‘Lost Heroes’ essays on obscure and notable super heroes of the Golden, Silver and Bronze Age.  Next month, Fizz will be presenting an essay on Spacehawk, the closest thing the great cartoonist Basil Wolverton did to a superhero series.  I love Wolverton, and I adore his bizarre and original art, so when he suggested 8TW might want to adapt a Spacehawk story, I jumped at the chance.  Fizz also chose a few other stories for us to adapt throughout the spring, including two more horror stories, so watch for them--and check out his YouTube channel.

Just a reminder--in addition to keeping track of our blog, we encourage you to follow our Twitter (maintained by Bernice, Our Social Media Cat) @Ocadecagonagon.  We also have a Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/164149742068310/.

There’s more in the pipeline throughout the new year, and we’d love to hear what you’d like to hear us do.  Would you like us to adapt classic children’s literature?  Is there a special property you’d like us to explore?  Let us know by emailing us at the address above.  Thank you again for being on this journey with us, and we’ll see you here Friday for Episode Three of Strangers In Paradise!
