Good Gravy! It’s a mystery ripped right from the comics of Gothic Horror Cartoonist Edgar Allan Poe. When Eddie Poe and the rest of the Poe-nuts gang travel to the streets of Paris on a school field trip, they run afoul of a Heinous Head-shaving Hooligan. It’s up to brilliant Inspector C. August Dupin to solve the crime, and stop the Dastardly Depilator stalking the Rue Morgue before it’s too late. And a jealous Eddie Poe does his lunk-headed best to “help.” Original "Bossa Nova Walking Theme" and EPSLOP Theme Song by Willy T. Golden.

Shorts in a Bunch: Back to School

After completely selling out in Hollywood, The Revival League proudly presents the director's cut of “Do Rabbots Dream Of Electric Cheepz?” Remastered with fancy-schmancy special effects and integrity-compromising CGI at great personal expense, “Do Rabbots Dream of Electric Cheepz?: The Final Cut” delivers the ultimate Rabbot experience, featuring touched up versions of both Parts One and Two of Robb Maynard’s sci-fi classic radio play (as far as something released a month ago can be considered classic). Described as “half-‘Blade Runner’, half-‘Watership Down’, and half-insanity” (which is too many halves), “Do Rabbots Dream of Electric Cheepz?: The Final Cut” is an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride into a futuristic dystopia populated by intelligent rabbits and their chocolate vassals. This original sci-fi comedy is a work of satire based upon or inspired by Ridley Scott's motion picture “Blade Runner,” Phillip K. Dick's novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?,” Karel Čapek's 1920 stage play “Rossum's Universal Robots,” and Richard Adam's novel “Watership Down.” Written by Robb Maynard and featuring the vocal talents of Tim Blaney (“Men In Black,” “Short Circuit”), Frank Dietz (“Zombie Nightmare”), Carolina Hidalgo (“The Mads Are Back! Podcast,” “SiriusXM”), Jackey Raye Neyman Jones (“Manos: The Hands of Fate”), and all the rest of your favorite Revival League Podcast Players (if any).
