'The Anti-Gravity Room' lives yet again with a (nearly) double-dose of mid-to-late 90s excitement hosted by Nick Scoullar, Phil Guerrero, Shashi Bhatia and Jaimy Mahlon. This time, featuring the likes of Kevin Altieri, Jennifer Cowan, John Mueller, Greg Hyland, Rob Schrab, and more. Featured are episode 12 (Teenage Riot) and episode 30 (Fringe III).

After checking out the latest episode of Cartoonist Kayfabe (Ed Piskor and Jim Rugg's commentary on Wizard Issue #50 [link below]) where The Anti-Gravity Room received a few mentions, including specifically the Lethargic Lad segment Ed Piskor speaks of just short of an hour in, I figured maybe should look into what I still have in my archives to upload.

Turns out that I've had these two partial episodes sitting on a hard drive, converted into EyeTV format from way back in 2013, which I never got around to uploading for reasons inexplicable. So why not put them up? 9 years and a cheap video editing application later... it is twice the fun for the price of one!

NOTE - Along with the "How to Make a Comic" and "Gaming" episodes I uploaded previously, I do believe this may be the only remaining AGR content I still have. I decided to edit both together and upload them in one big chunk, leaving in a few of the SciFi Channel bumpers and a couple game commercials, plus a Saturn (the car brand, not the SEGA console, even though no cars are featured) commercial that snuck by.

The audio on the first half is lower (I tried to adjust it a little in my editor) and the audio on the second half is better, but a little out of sync (this was how it converted over in the master file, unfortunately). The first half is also more on the dark side, and the second brighter. Likely recorded on different VCRs.

Harness your inner Ted Shackelford!
