Join us as Logan and Richard travel to an exotic island and discover a strange, weird, and creepy hotel. The hotel in question is the Voynich Hotel, not well known the world over, with more than likely a lower star rating than most hotels. Depending on what you like of course.

In this episode Logan and Richard check out one of Konami’s newest ways to play the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card game using Speed Duel Decks. This go around we look at Destiny Masters Speed Duel Decks. Each box contains 3 specific character duel decks. One is Yami Yugi themed, another is Ishizu Ishtar themed, and the third is Pegasus themed. The decks include 20 cards per deck, 3 skill cards per each deck (specific to the character), and 1 Ultra Rare variant card per deck. See what we think about the speed duel decks. Many thanks to Konami and Hill and Knowlton Strategies for their continued support of ComicPop Library in providing us with samples.

Kat Holland is sharing with out listeners her single “The One”, through her YouTube channel. Kat is invoking a smooth rhythmic sound with this single. The instrumentals give it a flare of pop, but Kat’s vocals come across very smooth. Blending in the Jazz and Pop feel I really like and can’t wait to her what else she gives us to hear. Her EP Retrovision is scheduled for a March 22 drop so be sure to keep an eye out for it from you digital vendor of choice. Until then enjoy Kat Holland’s music video for her single “The One” – Richard:
What do you collect? We love collecting our collections of books, comics/manga, movies, toys, and trading card games. As a collector you would think a movie entitled The Collector would be great for us. It is a good fit for us, but in a different way than what you might expect. This “Collector” loves his horror and I have to admit we like our horror here as well. Join the ComicPop Crew as we discuss Marcus Dunstan’s feature horror film The Collector.
Item reviewed:
The Collector, Marcus Dunstan – director, LD Entertainment, 2009.
Music Drops Used:
“Rockin’ Robin”, Bobby Day, Class, 1958.
“Train of Thought”, Four Songs, Andrew Lubman, 2007.
Cameron Hawthorn is invoking a nice steady slow dancing country song vibe with his single “Dancing in the Living Room. The single is just him with minimal instrumentation singing a slow melody for young and old lovers out there to get close to each other. This could be either at a dance hall or as the title of the song implies “In the Living Room”.
The music video is one that harkens back to a simpler time in the story of country and western music. It gives me a 1950 – 1960 feel in the way it was filmed. This one will be a winner for the style of music fans. Here’s Cameron Hawthorn’s “Dancing in the Living Room” that he wants everyone to enjoy from his YouTube channel – Richard:

One of Logan and I’s favorite anime’s. I am definitely excited about Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory. This series has a little of everything adventure, some comedy, and love story. The animation for this series has always been of high quality as well. This is one that I would recommend for your personal collection and libraries to consider for their anime collections. Thanks to FUNimation’s YouTube channel for the following trailer:
