#wtnv ep 150

[xccentriktigress]

So I recently got into WTNV

I know I’m about a decade behind, sorry. For some reason, my brain really latched on to the perpetually 30 Lee Marvin. This only got more intense after listening to episode 146 and now a fanfic is brewing. Which is why I started to think about what he would look like. If you have your own image of Lee Marvin that you’re attached to, don't click below. 💜

When you Google Lee Marvin, you get the classic image of him, white haired and grizzled at the height of his fame.

But the Lee Marvin of Night Vale is 30. In our universe, Lee Marvin would have his one and only 30th birthday on February 19th, 1954. Assuming the Lee Marvin of Night Vale directly correlates with ours, he probably looks a lot like this.

Lee Marvin as Chino in The Wild One (1953)

Lee Marvin as Meatball in The Caine Mutiny (1954)

Lee Marvin as Officer Shaughnessy in Gorilla At Large (1954)

Lee Marvin as Mr. Gregory in Shack out on 101 (1955)

I'm not totally sure what the point of this post is except to share my brain worm. If you made it this far, thank you.

Thanks to @fuckyeahleemarvin-blog for including dates on their collection to make finding these a little easier.

REC: Kakos Industries

“At Kakos Industries, we help our clients to Do Evil Better.” Corin Deeth III has just been appointed CEO; as such, he is contractually obligated to narrate the monthly announcements keeping YOU, shareholder, in the loop on all of the goings-on at the infamous Kakos Industries. (x)

150+ episodes / usually 20-35mins, varies

first off, the creator and narrator for this series — Conrad Miszuk — is just so charismatic even though he’s playing a somewhat awkward character. i love his voice and i think he does an amazing job of portraying someone who has been thrown into a position of immense power without true ambition, scrambling to maintain a certain image and juggle an endless number of obscure, even absurd responsibilities.

the other characters who appear from time to time are also just exceptionally fun. ymmv per character, of course. they’re all very distinct and usually unreasonable, in a sitcom sort of way. but i find most if not all of them quite charming and i think, most importantly, that they all seem to bounce off of each other really well when placed in the same scene.

even when other characters aren’t present, the format of the show is really strong. the announcements are divided into segments, which allows for frequent callbacks to earlier episodes as well as providing a platform for new comedic concepts. for example, Kakos’ seemingly infinite number of hyperspecific (or frustratingly vague) departments is one of the core threads of humor in the series. Corin might mention some of the earlier established departments, or he might introduce something totally new, suited to the episode’s self-contained plot. this is just one example; there are plenty of running gags that give this show a unique personality.

this is one of the longest-running audio dramas that i’ve listened to (2014!) and i’m stunned that i don’t see it rec’d more often. i guess i get that the listener pool may be a little smaller than average — the show is full of raunchy sex jokes and sometimes quite dark humor, so it’s definitely best for a mature audience. (the early episodes especially are not always great listening for the sex-averse among us.) but i think it’s really special and definitely on par with legends like WTNV.

if you listen from the beginning, i must warn that sound design is still getting its footing in earlier episodes — but it improves and evolves drastically over time. if you like the concept, i definitely recommend sticking it out.

overall, i think Kakos makes really creative use of the radio show format and has a lovely rapport with its fans. new eps are something i look forward to every single month without fail.

Okay I loved episode 150 and I'm happy Lee Marvin finally gets some peace but

If time is working normally in Night Vale, what does that mean for Cecil??? We know he magically jumped into adulthood and has seemingly since been the same age. Can Cecil age now?? WILL CECIL DIE?!?

Ok.

So I completely missed a episode. Ep 150. It’s a bit too late to post about it. Just for my personal record (because I am irrelevant to this world), the entire time I was listening to this episode I thought Lee was gonna die.

Like the ENTIRE EPISODE was heavily hinting at Lee just ending his own life and I was gonna be amazed if the podcast was gonna go there.

But he didn’t, I’m very happy about that. BUT time was fixed. We have no idea whatelse was fixed but the time thing is critical.

Until we go back to the main “storyline”, we won’t know the effects, BUT I think that time is ticking for the characters the we have established to be living longer then they should.

*cough* *cough* *cecil* *cough* *cough*

Seriously though I am loaded with theories and ready for answers. I’m mainly scared to get those answers.

i just had a galaxy brain thought

what if the next two WTNV eps are just more time-travel and people disappearing and the Blood-Space War comes to a head and then #150 starts with Cecil announcing, “a new man came into town today. He says he is a scientist, and that time is weird in Night Vale, so he has come here to study it.”

and we get to listen to them fall in love all over again
