It's Oval night in the discord! What will happen with Gayle's attempted emancipation? Will Max dig too deep into this whole bloody mattress problem? It's probably been at least five episodes since Barry committed a feloney, can he keep the streak going? Tune in and find out! Tonight at 7:30 eastern!

It's amazing how much variation you can find in this stuff. For example, in the Netherlands, your apartmant rental doesn't include a floor.

Yeah, man, a lot great stuff in there. I Started a Joke, Run To Me, I've Got To Get A Message To You; all really good tunes, imo.

I suppose it was only a matter of time before I had to research a director who had acted on a couple episodes of TNG and therefore had a much more filled in biography on Memory Alpha than he did on wikipedia.

Yet again thinking about this Ditko cover which remains maybe the most relatable piece of art I’ve ever seen.

The cover of Haunted no. 3 where a titularly haunted guy is running toward the viewer saying, "Why? Why? Why? Why?" While a banner above him says, "You BETTER believe "THIS IS HOW IT IS." And there's a cemetery with a caped goblin and a ghost or something behind him.

The Beegees! Their pre-disco stuff is so different (and great)!

I'm sure cranking out as much as he did, he probably would just get to the point where he said, "well, that's enough of that. Let's wrap this one up and on to the next."

Hal's insights into Piers Anthony's rise and rall and how it relates to his perversions (non-pejorative) really helped me understand why I saw this dude on so many nerds' bookshelves despite the fact that nobody ever really talks about him.

What's up with Piers Anthony?

An analysis of his oeuvre, or rather poeurvre

She's mulling it over!

Chris the Frankenstein @christhefriend.bsky.social · 1d

What if I reached out to my first girlfriend and asked her to come on the podcast to talk about the movie we saw on our first date (Victor Salva's Powder)?

Chris the Frankenstein @christhefriend.bsky.social · 1d

It's going great!

??? how do you remember such a thing??

Nothing has been declared. Hopefully, negotiators are working to de-escalate things.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Imagine getting pulled over for speeding, telling the cops that you can flip on your boyfriend, the founder of antifa, and next thing you know...

My thoughts

The Serpent and the Rainbow
☆☆☆☆

Some genuinely scary stuff here; nobody makes a nightmare like Craven and the dream sequences in this are all killer. The fact that it ends with a bad guy getting a five inch nail driven through his dick is the cherry on top.

I wish it was the only unusual pronunciation I had to get used to when I moved out here. It took me years to get accustomed to people pronouncing Greenwich exactly as it's spelled.

Chris the Frankenstein @christhefriend.bsky.social · 1d

It looks like you should pronounce it Arkansaw, but around here, it's the Ar-Kansas.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?
