The White Rocket show heads to Sweden for this week's episode, as comics editor/publisher/writer extraordinaire James Hickson joins Van to discuss Stieg Larsson's fantastic MILLENNIUM TRILOGY of crime fiction novels and (American and Swedish) movies: THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE, and THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST. It's a computer-hacking, neo-nazi-whackin' good time!

This week author Rick Lai joins Van to discuss one of the greatest achievements in both literature and television: James Clavell's epic ASIAN SAGA-- SHOGUN, NOBLE HOUSE, TAI-PAN, KING RAT, GAI JIN and WHIRLWHIND. Climb aboard Struan & Co's Lasting Cloud and try not to get shipwrecked in the Japans, you foreign devil, as Van and Rick explore the (gargantuan) novels and the TV miniseries and movies that were made from them!

So many great movies to choose from, but in this episode, John Ringer (of the Wishbone Podcast and the War Eagle Reader) stops in again to engage Van in a running battle of Favorite Films of All Time! There are Westerns, SF epics, war movies, and Hollywood classics--but no romantic comedies...! Listen in as they count down from number ten to their favorite ever, back and forth, and see which of them you agree with (if either!).

This episode, Van is joined by fellow fan of the Aubrey/Maturin series, Bryan Crowson, to discuss the "Master and Commander" movie (Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany) and the fantastic series of novels (by Patrick O'Brian) on which it is based. So let's toast Lord Nelson and hoist the mains'l, because Napoleon is coming and all that stands between him and victory is the HMS Surprise--but, though we be podcasting from the far side of the world, "THIS SHIP IS ENGLAND!"
