Having produced podcasts for over a decade, and never really made any money doing them, it drives me INSANE to hear podcasts hosted by celebrity millionaires whose shows have, like, six ad breaks in an hour. COME ON.

If I go to Purgatory, it will be just me and a phone loaded with nothing but podcasts full of people who didn't bother to edit out the hosts trying to remember something for several minutes.

Is it just me, or have podcasts in general gotten lazier about about maintaining quality? I mean this in every respect: clean audio quality, quality of information, presentation by the speakers, and especially editing. Holy fuck have I had it with podcasts that don't edit. Ready for a rant? 🧵

Marry someone who knows you so well they pick up movies on long dead formats for you without needing to ask.

This one was always out at my school library!

John Hurt eats up every piece of scenery (and that's not all, haha) as Caligula in this week's I, Claudius, an episode I remain amazed ever aired. Shocking, extraordinary television starring one of my favorite actors. (Gift link!)

'I, Claudius' Episode 9 Recap: I, Caligula - Pop Heist

Tyrants are overgrown children with the hatreds and desires of men, and — whether forcibly taken or freely given — the power of the gods.

I made the same "And they'll remove him from office" mistake in 2017.

I had no idea this is what Theo Von looked like and the fact that someone who looks like this on purpose has influence on how people vote makes me wish for the ape overlords to take over.

After moving in 2024, my wife and I are taking our first visit back to NJ in mid-Oct. We will be driving for two days, the car will be full of stuff AND we'll have our dog with us.

Yet, the same day we're literally passing through Virginia, the Nightmare Alley con has a VERY special guest.

*SIGH*

I bought it because it was a clamshell. A format I hated as a teen, now of course I have total nostalgia for.

Totally! Growing up on classic SNL as I did, I always give movies with that crew and extra point in my head if I see them doing something out of their comfort zone. I’m not remotely objective.

I actually like MEMOIRS a lot. It’s deeply flawed but I think it’s the last time Chevy tried.

Just did my first on stage film intro, for CARRIE at the Tampa Theatre. Was nervous walking out on that stage, but I think it went well and I actually can’t wait to do it again next week!
