Digital Dissection: A Nerd Podcast

On the evening of January 26th, 2019, a black truck circled a small neighborhood in Tomball Texas. No one could predict the dark plan on the mind of its driver that would be carried out early the following morning. On today's episode of Pop Culture Legends: A Digital Dissection Mini-series, we tell the tragic story of Elizabeth "Liz" Barraza, a caring and talented woman who belonged to the famous 501st Legion costuming group. Liz's life was cut far too short and the details surrounding her murder are baffling as the case itself remains unsolved. What exactly happened to Elizabeth? We analyze the known details in this possible murder for hire story. If you know of anything that may be helpful in leading to the arrest of Elizabeth's murderer, please contact the Crime Stoppers of Houston Tip line at +1(713)222-8477. RETRACTION: We stated that Amber Cheatham is a 501st member, this was incorrect.

To the the general U.S. audience, anime in the 1980's was a chopped up, serialized, monster of the week cartoon that was beloved by children and...tolerated by adults. In 1988 Toho produced an anime with incredible voice acting, adult themes, real world issues, and stunning, albeit bizarre at times, animation. When it hit Western TV's a year later, it would let the world know that anime wasn't just for kids. Welcome to Season 2 Episode 59 of Digital Dissection: A Nerd Podcast!
