Putting a random score on top of Tod Browning’s Dracula is fascinating. Like playing Dark Side of the Moon over The Wizard of Oz.
#Svengoolie should absolutely put Dark Side of the Moon on this.

Svengoolie is airing Tod Browning’s Dracula with a soundtrack used for a French DVD release? That feels weird. Not as weird as colorizing The Maltese Falcon. But still weird.

What’s the story behind the abandoned Cold War station in Finland, Minn.?

This is an epic 90-second documentary. (I mostly watch the Olympics for the documentaries.)
I owe you an apology, Amber Glenn. I wasn't really familiar with your Magic: The Gathering Game.

This episode of #Svengoolie is great. But why is it taking him so long to make a Gorgonzola joke?

I don’t know about the rest of America, but I could really use a good old-fashioned Hammer horror film tonight. Thanks for The Gorgon, #Svengoolie.

I'm not on this podcast. But it's very good. And it mentions my documentary Cold War Secrets of Northern Minnesota. (Which reporter Christa Lawler also calls "very good.") So give it a listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

There's a white supremacist "March Against Minnesota" tomorrow in Minneapolis. Temps will be single digits. I keep thinking of that X-Files episode where a time-traveling Fox Mulder yelled at Nazis before they marched into Russia: "You're all big men now but ... Hope you fellas like the cold!"
