It was a slightly longer break than usual, but it looks like it was worth it for fans.

We’ve learned through a reliable source that the next episode of JC Sunshine’s Fireside Chat, a halloween special scheduled to air live on Forget The Box TV this Sunday at 7:30pm eastern, will include an original mini zombie movie.  An announcement on the show’s site and a series of promo images released by Forget The Box indicate that this report is true:

This looks like another zombie:

This one probably isn’t a zombie, but she does look like a character you’d find around them:

JC’s guests have been confirmed as members of the Dead Dolls, a Montreal-area burlesque dance troupe who are known as much for their horror-esque look and entertaining style as their moves.  No word yet on which Dead Dolls will be on the show.

There’s also no word on what will happen to Rex.  If you remember correctly, he ended up lost in space at the end of the science fiction episode.  Hmm, maybe this offers some sort of explanation:

Hopefully this is just a one-off story element, which would make sense considering this is Halloween.  Either way, it looks like they went all out for this episode.

We here at jcsunshine.net can’t wait.  Expect our full report soon.  For now, though, there’s one more promo shot to enjoy:

Season 2, Episode 5, dubbed Return of The Sunshine, is now available on demand at Forget The Box here. As you can see, it is by far the most technologically advanced one yet. They’re really experimenting with higher production values and keep raising the bar higher with each episode, but the core of JC Sunshine remains.

JC Sunshine beamed on board the Enterprise

(spoilers ahead) So JC was rescued right off the bat, getting beamed out of prison by Ricardo, then transported around the Star Trek universe before landing on the deck of a spaceship piloted by Rex. He hosts the show from space as “Commander JC Sunshine” with a litany of Star Trek, Terminator and of course Star Wars references (including a bluescreen attack on the Death Star).

The guest was Marquenzo Madsci, a self-proclaimed mad scientist and paranormal expert. He spoke a bit about himself and his experiments, then answered questions from JC and the audience about his favorite science-fiction series: Star Trek. He prefers The Next Generation and is even learning Klingonese.

JC Sunshine interviews Marquenzo Madsci

Once the interview was over, JC discovered that Rex was missing. Apparently this was due to some sort of transporter malfunction, though JC didn’t seem all that sure that Ricardo didn’t do it because Rex was first officer and he was just chief galley cook. The Ricardo/Rex rivalry subtext is an interesting one and it keeps getting bigger.

Regardless, we were left, after the credits, with a shot of “Rex in Space.” So, this two-parter has turned into a three-part story arc. We’ll have to tune into the next episode on October 25th (a week later than usual) to find out what happens to Rex.

The theme is Halloween and the guest is rumored to be guests, plural (something the Sunshine show hasn’t done before. Supposedly it’s going to be members of the Dead Doll Dancers burlesque troupe, which would be really cool. Keep checking back for more updates!

The theme of tonight’s JC Sunshine’s Fireside Chat is sci-fi and it was just announced that the guest will be MarK Kees Miller, also known as Marquenzo Madsci.

We haven’t been able to find out that much about him, only that he is learning Klingonese. We did find a promo shot for the show (cute!):

Anyways, if you want to find out if Ricardo and Rex are able to spring JC from jail in time for the show, tune in live at 7:30pm eastern to Forget The Box TV and expect a report here soon!

JC Sunshine season 2 episode 4 found its way online and can be viewed in its entirety on the show’s page at Forget The Box.  Episodes 2 and 3 aren’t available yet, but sources inside Forget The Box.

We’ve also located a segmented version on Vimeo which starts here and is also now part of the playlist player we have up on our show page.  It’s got high-quality playback (as Vimeo is known for) but it may take a bit to buffer on slower computers (plus part 4 is currently missing).

The Pirate Party’s Rob Britton being interviewed by JC

Some think this is the funniest episode so far.  It’s most definitely one of the tightest and offers good production values.  The interview with the Pirate Party’s Rob Britton is quite interesting as well and (please watch the episode before reading on) it ends in a cliffhanger!

The arresting officer

JC has been arrested again, this time for copyright violation, the theme of the episode.  It happened after the interview and was done by a David Caruso CSI-Miami type guy credited as “Horation Kane”.  Clever, I guess they had to change the letters…didn’t want to infringe on any copyright, after all!

You’ll have to tune in to Forget The Box TV this Sunday at 7:30pm eastern to see what happens.  No word yet on who the guest will be,  but JCSunshine.net has learned that the theme is sci-fi…should be interesting!
