Paul Maki, self-proclaimed Idjit, makes episode-by-episode reviews of television shows. An eclectic mix of short run shows, animated, and older television is reviewed along with biographic tidbits, cultural artifacts, and general weird stuff.
Next up as part of Dog Days of Advent, Paul jumps forward a bit in that first story, skipping past a dying grandfather, the tedium of getting back to school, an inherited box with medallions and a spectacular transport between worlds that really hasn’t been visualized just yet. Trust me it is trope-y and yet still pretty cool, or may be cool one day.

Here, Paul is falling behind on Dog Days of Advent. He’s not giving up entirely, but the number of written segments is a bit low, considering the date. So another fragment, this one firmly placed before the events of Really Big Things, in fact, it is intended to be the very first part of the story, ever, telling the story in Paul’s designated order.

Paul now attempts to share a set of fragments that have drifted about in his head like Duluth’s nonexistent snowflakes (this year). This is the first, a gift if not actually Christmasy. A dark bit of a peek at a not-very-nice person. This fragment is set in the Really Big Things Multiverse, at an indeterminate time relative to the original serial. This is fragment one of an undetermined number, ideally twelve, but who can say?

This file is a doozy, if you’ve heard Really Big Things on Dog Days 2022, you’ve hear all of this and it is skippable. If you are a member of Bad Altitude Trivia Team or anyone else new here, this might help make sense of the coming Dog Days of Advent content.

Paul is looking at The Rockford Files Season One Episode 10, The Dexter Crisis. He tries to decide if the situation is in fact a crisis, takes time out to give a brief bio of Bing Russell, and wonders about automobiles of the 1970’s. He also takes a look at an 18th century porcelain manufacturer, because that’s just the kind of variety this podcast presents.
