I've appointed Gretchen as special prosecutor to look into Russian interference in Elton's judgement.

Are Scream and Princess Bride...the same picture?
Everyone told me to pursue a practical career rather than chase less marketable dreams. "Do that on the side." I took that advice. Honestly, it worked out well. But now those same people are shocked that I've let my career stall at a comfortable level to focus on side projects. #thoughts
I've crafted a playlist of my favorite occult rock songs. Perfect to listen to after you've listened to our episodes on The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty.

Discovered my co-host didn't know anything about Christianity, so we had to do a little crash course prior to discussing The Exorcist. I'm sure no one will be offended by my off-the-cuff summary of 4000 years of religious tradition.

This from the files of WTF did we just watch…

Bloody Muscle Bodybuilder in Hell (2012)
And
ZARDOZ (1974)

Bloody Muscle Bodybuilder in Hell was surprisingly entertaining it was a love letter to the Evil Dead

And ZARDOZ was… definitely something.

Episodes soon to come
Nor should you be. Life is a tug-of-war between environment and organism. Each getting weirder. Each pulling harder. If you don't want to wind up in the pit you gotta keep moving. Keep weirding.
Sorry to hear about Zack's tree. Hang in there, Zack.

This week we're talking about the poem that inspired Disney's Mulan! There was a poem? Heck yeah there was. It's from 5th or 6th century China, and way more concise than either of us was expecting. 💙📚
