Happy Friday from @popheist.com, go watch Pat Benatar blow up some Nazis.

I wanted to come back to this after I started hearing Tim Duncan has gone on to be a pretty regular gamer in his retirement. According to David Robinson in a 2020 interview, it was Robinson who introduced the team to Starcraft, and then Duncan and others beat Robinson's ass so hard he quit playing.

New at @fangoria.bsky.social, I've got an exclusive look at the first chapter of @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social's IT CAME FROM NEVERLAND, in stores Tuesday!

the alt text oh my god I am CRYING

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

I don't know how to begin to describe PUPPET'S BANQUET to you, but I know there's no other book like it and @goresorcerer.bsky.social is a mad genius.

Running for office on the platform that you should be able to look at restaurant menus online without having to automatically enter an "Order Online" interface. I don't want to enter my location and select "Pickup" or "Delivery," I just want to know if you have a sandwich I might like!

Everyone's going to remember Anthony Head for Buffy, but shout out to his one time appearance in Doctor Who as an evil alien school headmaster who a) spent 45 minutes chewing scenery, b) still went toe-to-toe with the return of Lis Sladen, and c) delivered this incredible line with a straight face

Happy Friday from @popheist.com, go watch Pat Benatar blow up some Nazis.

Also his delivery of "There's another one in Cleveland!" is the best part of the series finale.

Giles could've been one-note, the stuffy academic always playing Q to Buffy's 007, but through Anthony Head he grew a soul, a fighting spirit, a warmth. He became father to a gang of weirdos in a world literally going to Hell, and that mattered, and still matters, deeply to me. Goodnight, King.

This summer I'm stacking up my workload at a loss because there's so much I want to write to you about. If you like what I do and you'd like to help me out, the most direct way to do so—and to keep up with everything I do—is subscribing to my Patreon!

I don't know why it's so hard to get a simple Actor = Character cast list in a press kit for a movie, but apparently it is. Publicists -- ESPECIALLY publicists for indie movies -- Pretty Please start putting a basic cast/character rundown in your press notes, I cannot remember all of these names.

Nebuchadnezzar https://www.wikiart.org/en/william-blake/nebuchadnezzar-1795

"Matthew why no horror movies on this list?" Most of my favorite horror movies were made in the 60s and 70s, but several almost made the cut here!

What's your favorite movie from each decade of your life? 1980s - DIE HARD 1990s - GOODFELLAS 2000s - WONDER BOYS 2010s - MAD MAX: FURY ROAD 2020s - THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN

Important news: My wife, who worked in Detroiters’ art department, has located the original Karn on the Cobb file in her archive.

When I was in high school a friend showed me that if you poured a packet of Sweet & Low into a glass of soda it would not only get sweeter but a chemical process would quickly zap all the carbonation. I drank an unmentionable amount of that concoction from ages 16-18.

"Thiccolas Galitzine" deserves to catch on.

Played a round of 82-0 where I just picked whoever I thought had the best name each time and y'know what? I believe in these guys. I think next season will be our time. Worst part was Muggsy Bogues came up and I couldn't take him because I'd already picked a point guard.

Listening to Tom Holland on Amy Poehler's podcast and he called Janet Jackson one of the five people most responsible for his career trajectory.

Eight years sober today. Grateful to be here, grateful for the support I've had along the way.

Team Maximum Chaos right here. Imagine Wilt and Rodman partying together in their respective primes.

Best one I've hit so far.

This 82-0 game is fun as all get out but sometimes it'll throw out something like "1980s Miami Heat" and I'm like "Pssh that's not a real team, come on now." www.82-0.com

Spurs lost because Greg Abbott was in the building. He sat too close to the nuns and killed the mojo.

OK, key takeaway from Game 1: This is gonna be a fun series. Brunson got ice water in his veins, damn.

They oughta be showing these NBA Finals on IMAX screens, I want Kaiju Victor Wembanyama damn it.

Jalen Brunson is out there on one damn leg takin' over the whole group project.

The "Dylan Harper, I was unfamiliar with your game" Playoffs.

It really pisses me off that every nationally televised professional sporting event I watch -- events that are definitionally displays of *human* performance at its peak -- is now always undercut by ads that go "You don't have to work just type things at this robot, you dummy."

Stuff like this is unironically my favorite part of baseball. Just guys in the dugout thinkin' bout stuff.

This is gonna be a weird series because I actually quite like the Knicks, but...LET'S GO SPURS!

Sharing my site again as I’m at the dentist and getting an emergency root canal so I’m just sharing this again because I could use a little help to get this handled. Also, apparently I need to be tested for sleep apnea too! Eek.

"Jealous Again" has always secretly been the best song on the SHAKE YOUR MONEY MAKER record.

Completely forgot about the (extremely brief) Tracy McGrady Spurs era!

Hey guess what's in my head now.

Everyone snickering at Marco Rubio as he shuffles by in his too-big shoes, Marco Rubio turning around and tearfully shouting "HE SAID I'LL GROW INTO THEM!"

This is such a wicked article and full of awesome-looking new releases. I'm honored that MARLA is in here. Its release date recently got bumped to August, but the description in here is absolutely spot-on and killer!

An experienced, well-connected investigative reporter with a great reputation, personal loyalty, and nothing but time is a formidable enemy to assign yourself.

Watching #TheVampireLestat gave me a TV hangover in the best possible way and I am once again ruined for all other shows. Also, I could’ve easily written a review that was twice as long as this and still not addressed everything great about the season:

And then I became an @akelacooper.bsky.social fan For Life.

HACKS grabbed headlines a few weeks ago for its anti-AI episode, but its greatest tribute to human creativity, and the power of Showing Up and Doing the Work, came in the series finale. I wrote about it for @popheist.com:

So, uh, while y'all were sleeping, I may have soft-launched a thing... Go give this account a follow if you want to know about my new project launching later this summer.

Read through this today and Nerds, this one's For Us. Brett did all the legwork and put together a WILD saga here.

I think of what happened to C. Martin Croker and I’m aghast. If you’ve ever watched and loved Aqua Teen Hunger Force or even just wanna support black voice actors, please help him out ❤️‍🔥👍🏾
