Bert & Fonx

Did you think Christmas started when Jesus was born? So when WAS he born, huh? Do you know? What do the originators of this feast say? Maybe he was born with the sun? On the day it reaches the lowest point in the skies? Is Santa a demoted viking deity? Did the druids bring us the elves? Folk lore and mythology are but a huge telephone game played throughout ages of human transit. Take a journey with us through every pagan origin of the Christmas tradition and help us send this first season off with a hell of an all-inclusive season’s greeting. Wæshæl, motherfuckers, merry kwanzukkah to you.    #bertfonx, #podcast, #christmas  //     Bert & Fonx    Created by: Robert “Bertimus” Dickson and Alfonso “Cronopio” Moreno     Edited by Miah Detjen     Musical Theme by Alfonso Cronopio Trio, produced by Chano Audiovisual     //     Other sources of B&X:   Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/33jsdXH   Google Podcasts: http://bit.ly/2Mak7uD   Anchor.fm: http://bit.ly/30LojVX   Spotify: https://spoti.fi/31QjZWJ   Pocket Casts: http://bit.ly/2Orl17B   Breaker: http://bit.ly/2B3zvCV   Overcast: http://bit.ly/31che0O   RadioPublic: http://bit.ly/32bEnBF       Other Bertimus Channels:   Bertimus   https://www.youtube.com/c/bertimus   Not Taking It Seriously https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPVcEU0HnQW3A53LFs8MTcQ     Alfonso Cronopio Trio  https://alfonsocronopio.bandcamp.com     Miah Detjen  http://miahdetjen.com     Chano Audiovisual   https://www.youtube.com/user/ChanoAudiovisual   https://www.instagram.com/chanoaudiovisual/   https://www.facebook.com/pg/chano.audiovisual/     //     Any use of works in our videos is de minimis, transformative, and constitutes fair use under the Copyright laws of the United States.  Any improper attempts to takedown or claim our videos may be subject to 17 U.S.C. 512(f) claim for bad faith under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.  If you want to discuss any content in our videos, please contact us at bertnfonx@gmail.com. before initiating any takedown requests.  Failure to do so may constitute bad faith.

If you love science fiction, like we do, but you’re stuck in a bipolar vortex between Star Wars and Star Trek, boy, do we have a treat for you. We traverse parsecs of parallel universes that encompass this multi-genre narrative style. From George Lucas’s first, pre-Star War dystopian masterpiece to the seminal influences of Jodorowsky and Moebius on the great genre influencers of our time: Star Wars, Alien, Terminator, Blade Runner. Through generations of masters: H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Frank Hertbert, Jack Vance, Ray. Bradbury, Orson Scott Card, Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov,  Stanislaw Lem… the heroes: Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, Pirx the Pilot…  the epic, the post-apocalyptic, the utopian, the dystopian, one great adventure… We cover almost all of it and still somehow manage not to space out into a black hole. Buckle up, enjoy the ride, and live long and prosper, motherfuckers.   #bertfonx, #podcast, #scifi  // Bert & Fonx  Created by: Robert “Bertimus” Dickson and Alfonso “Cronopio” Moreno   Edited by Miah Detjen   Musical Theme by Alfonso Cronopio Trio, produced by Chano Audiovisual   //   Other sources of B&X:  Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/33jsdXH  Google Podcasts: http://bit.ly/2Mak7uD  Anchor.fm: http://bit.ly/30LojVX  Spotify: https://spoti.fi/31QjZWJ  Pocket Casts: http://bit.ly/2Orl17B  Breaker: http://bit.ly/2B3zvCV  Overcast: http://bit.ly/31che0O  RadioPublic: http://bit.ly/32bEnBF    Other Bertimus Channels:  Bertimus  https://www.youtube.com/c/bertimus  Not Taking It Seriously https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPVcEU0HnQW3A53LFs8MTcQ   Alfonso Cronopio Trio https://alfonsocronopio.bandcamp.com   Miah Detjen http://miahdetjen.com   Chano Audiovisual  https://www.youtube.com/user/ChanoAudiovisual  https://www.instagram.com/chanoaudiovisual/  https://www.facebook.com/pg/chano.audiovisual/   //   Any use of works in our videos is de minimis, transformative, and constitutes fair use under the Copyright laws of the United States.  Any improper attempts to takedown or claim our videos may be subject to 17 U.S.C. 512(f) claim for bad faith under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.  If you want to discuss any content in our videos, please contact us at bertnfonx@gmail.com. before initiating any takedown requests.  Failure to do so may constitute bad faith.

Bert & Fonx examine the trials and tribulations of collaborating in a music video for a song Fonx wrote, shot in Spain and the US. And, in doing so, revisit all of the experiences and lessons-learned of this intense multi-year venture. The production, the casting, the location scouting, the prop and costume design, the shoot, the post-production and the special effects... no stone is left unturned on this exploration of  the world of amateur film-making, with a capital A.   Paying the Ferryman video  https://vimeo.com/354556260/8bdd51818f   Film Press Kit  https://www.dropbox.com/s/m4gy36k10lwilwz/BarqueroPressKit.pdf   Paying the Ferryman song  https://alfonsocronopio.bandcamp.com/track/pagando-al-barquero-2   Lyrics in English  https://www.dropbox.com/s/tit9c40g6gr97sr/BoatmanLyricsEng_vSinglePage.pdf   The Isle of The Dead  http://www.toteninsel.net/home.php   Alfonso Cronopio Trío live  ¿Qué es este Temblor?

Fonx has been speaking English for 50 years now. In fact, Fonx has been speaking English longer than Bert’s been alive. And yet, his English still sounds weird AF. Are there disadvantages to a multilingual upbringing? Does making room for other languages in your brain make them have to share a confined space? Could it be that Fonx doesn’t know as much English as most natives do? …or does he?

Bert recounts his amazing three week trip in search of his roots for his thirtieth birthday. The conversation, as usual ends up  all over the place, ranging from travelling alone versus meeting up with friends or family to haggis, ancient castles, the Loch Ness monster, Robert The Bruce and the spider, Robert Lewis Stevenson and how to properly drink a good scotch whiskey. #bert&fonx #podcast #scotland // Bert & Fonx Created by: Robert “Bertimus” Dickson and Alfonso “Cronopio” Moreno Edited by Miah Detjen Musical Theme by Alfonso Cronopio Trio, produced by Chano Audiovisual // Other sources of B&X: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/33jsdXH Google Podcasts: http://bit.ly/2Mak7uD Anchor.fm: http://bit.ly/30LojVX Spotify: https://spoti.fi/31QjZWJ Pocket Casts: http://bit.ly/2Orl17B Breaker: http://bit.ly/2B3zvCV Overcast: http://bit.ly/31che0O RadioPublic: http://bit.ly/32bEnBF Other Bertimus Channels: Bertimus  https://www.youtube.com/c/bertimus Not Taking It Seriously https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPVcEU0HnQW3A53LFs8MTcQ Alfonso Cronopio Trio https://alfonsocronopio.bandcamp.com Miah Detjen http://miahdetjen.com Chano Audiovisual  https://www.youtube.com/user/ChanoAudiovisual https://www.instagram.com/chanoaudiovisual/ https://www.facebook.com/pg/chano.audiovisual/ // Any use of works in our videos is de minimis, transformative, and constitutes fair use under the Copyright laws of the United States.  Any improper attempts to takedown or claim our videos may be subject to 17 U.S.C. 512(f) claim for bad faith under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.  If you want to discuss any content in our videos, please contact us at bertnfonx@gmail.com. before initiating any takedown requests.  Failure to do so may constitute bad faith.

Fonx’s less-than-conventional use of the term “hick” leads Bert to show him some examples of eccentric celebrations around the world to try to figure out what on earth he means. It turns out to be a fun exercise, with an interesting conclusion.
