Posted by: Manny

It’s been a really long time, but we’re back — and hopefully for good! Nick, Manny F., and Chris discuss all the latest news from the past year including the tragic death of Stephen Perry, the concept images and leaked script from the shelved ThunderCats movie, as well as the rumored (now confirmed) new cartoon and toy line!

We actually recorded this episode the weekend before all the announcements were made, so our speculation on the rumors of a new series and toy line were true!

The iTunes subscription feed will eventually be updated, but until then, feel free to stream the episode by clicking the link below or download the episode by right-clicking the link, then going to save as.

6.03.2010 | ThunderCats Writer, Steve Perry Murdered
Posted by: Manny

All of the team at ThunderCats Lair have been shocked and saddened to hear of the death of ThunderCats writer Stephen Perry. Amongst his notable screenwriting career, Steve wrote some of the most memorable ThunderCats episodes, including fan favourites such as "Safari Jo".

Steve was a good friend to this site, occasionally posting on our forums and also taking part in an interview with our resident multimedia guru, Nick Mills.

It's no secret that Steve was not in the greatest of health in recent times and also no secret that he'd been experiencing some problems in his personal life. All of us at ThunderCats Lair are deeply saddened that, just when things were beginning to improve for Steve, his life should end so tragically.

Perhaps most tragic of all is the fact that Steve's death is now accepted as being the result of an apparent homicide. Whilst we don't want to comment on too much of the detail of this case whilst the facts are still being pieced together by the relevant authorities, all of the known details of the case are reported in this article.

Our thoughts at this time are with Steve's family and friends, and in particular his young son Leo, and we're sure that we speak for everyone in the online ThunderCats fan community when we say that we send them our deepest condolences.
