Today is the birthday of writer Bill Finger (Feb. 8, 1914-Jan. 18, 1974), who took Bob Kane’s initial idea & developed it into the Batman we know today. He also wrote the first appearance of the original Green Lantern, and cocreated Robin, the Joker, Catwoman, Lana Lang, Wildcat, Riddler, & more.

What is this business with Al Carns? Did none of you live through the Dan Jarvis nonsense?

Love the colour and texture of this. Suburbia, Beatles, 1967, Liverpool; might be of interest to @iammilliam.bsky.social @andrewmale.bsky.social ?

"In retrospect Prime Minister, was his nickname of The Prince of Darkness not a tiny bit of a red flag?"

Gary Bainbridge (@garybainbridge.bsky.social) joins me for a chat about Captain America: Brave New World. It's got unsubtle satire, a plot callback to a box office bomb and one very inconsistent character, and we enjoyed it but aren't sure *why*...

Home Alone, Best In Show, Schitt’s Creek, For Your Consideration, Beetlejuice, A Mighty Wind, The Studio, After Hours — she was so funny, and yet authentic in even her wildest, silliest roles. FUCK!

I'm enjoying the fact that Wonder Man features a lead duo called Trevor and Simon.

These automatic subtitles for a YouTube video about Kristi Noem might just have ended me.

OK, here's a Paul Newman story:

A friend of mine was once in rehearsal for a play that Joanne Woodward was directing, and for at least a while they were rehearsing in the Newmans' apartment.
Today is still Paul Newman's 100th birthday, leave us not forget.

A lot of people in law enforcement in my family. You know how long they've hated ICE? From the jump. ICE and Homeland Security were formed in 2003 as a response to the 9/11 attacks. Cops normally love governmental support, but that's never been what ICE is about. 🧵

Gary Bainbridge (@garybainbridge.bsky.social) joins me for a chat about the 1978 Doctor Strange television pilot - Macho seventies mystical mumbo jumbo, mirrorball disco visuals and some spectacular overacting from Jessica Walter. Basically it's, well, strange.

Modern celebrity is so strange. Imagine Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh having to spend press tours hooked up to a lie detector test for Vanity Fair, reading out erotic fan letters to each other, eating hot wings, or just crying in every interview.
