Wait... are people really getting uppity about del Toro's Frankenstein changing too much of the book? It's Frankenstein. Not only has there never been a truly loyal adaptation, but most of the truly iconic imagery and ideas are original to films or play adaptations.

The Democrats:

My full thoughts on Guillermo del Toro's take on the story of Frankenstein. youtu.be/DfRuydgM18k

It’s been five years since I last made an AMV, but I felt inspired. Nimona // What it Sounds Like youtu.be/XaDiOq7Zg70

“It’s going to be a little more adventurous, and I hope to inspire a new generation of 10-year-olds to go into the forest to play Rambo.” That a director could say those words with no awareness of how fucked up they are is pretty terrifying. www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/ra...

My video about that time Goggle AI made up a feud between me and Jessie Gender that supposedly “ended” my channel. Yeah, AI screws up everything and here’s one more example. youtu.be/NXaE3JazYZ0?...

Ok, be honest: how many of you who freak out about pineapple on pizza have actually TRIED it?

No gaming stream today, too much going on. See y’all again next week!

I'm going to lie... the latest two episodes of Hazbin Hotel were kind of hard for me to get through. youtu.be/0SSQWmtWINA

Something I think needs to be better understood: corporations & billionaires often spend more trying to defeat progressives than it would cost them in the proposed increased taxes if those people won. It’s never just about the money. It’s about no longer being the sole beneficiaries of society.

Hades 2 has had its full release and even though I reviewed it in early access, I think there's enough new to talk about since then. youtu.be/c3wbA9Hm_is

Saturday's video is now in early access for YouTube Members and Patreon Supporters, and I just want to thank @jessiegender.bsky.social for setting aside our "highly publicized feud" to do some voice work. "My channel is DEAD... according to Google AI" will be live to the public on Saturday.

The Predator franchise is on a roll lately, so before the new movie is out let's catch up on the animated film that came out earlier this year. youtu.be/2vLNe8XO8_w?...

Frak this Podcast! kicks of the third season of Battlestar Galactica with oppression, terror attacks and... a fat suit. Wheeeeeee. @jessiegender.bsky.social and I dig into the new status quo of the series. YouTube: youtu.be/GwsvUqT-T_g?... Podcast Feed: councilofgeeks.libsyn.com/frak-this-po...

Something I hope more readers understand: If an independent author has made their work available anywhere besides Amazon, they're likely losing money to do that. You get a bigger cut if you go Amazon Exclusive, and the sales you can make elsewhere don't make up the difference for most of us.

Thought I'd already posted this review, but got commissioned to look at Mississippi Burning which... is well made and well intentioned, I'll give it that. youtu.be/7QdWacgiy6k

Just in time for Halloween, let's take a look at Doctor Who dealing with fate, great evils, and vampires (sort of). The Curse of Fenric - youtu.be/Qh7mCKXrMec

Streaming something very special for Halloween: youtube.com/live/hG-UDfX...

Don't normally discuss spicy videos here, but I'm bitter over the original video actually doing well (by that channel's metrics) only for YouTube to take it down and deny an appeal. That means all comments and views are gone. So yeah, I'm gonna promote the revised version here. youtu.be/taIB2Ad5-Fc

Something I forgot to mention in my Hazbin review. I love the backstory we get for Pentious frames his redemption comes from doing the polar opposite of his greatest sin in life. It (hopefully) implies redemption isn't one-size fits all, but will vary depending on the reason they're in hell.

Hazbin Hotel is back! So let's see what's going on in Hell, and also Heaven! They seem to be in a competition for who's got the bigger problems. youtu.be/0-HYNwcgmX0

Watched the latest Stranger Things trailer and all it did was remind me how much I fucking hate Vecna. I hate his face. I hate his backstory. I hate how he made the upside down almost infinitely less interesting. And more than anything I fucking loath his voice. I hate that this is the how it ends.

Time for a commissioned review, this one being the first installment in the Murderbot Diaries. youtu.be/jM4UML46Rgs?...

Attention Internet: I am shnookered on sake. That is all.

Oh and I don’t have the screenshot on my phone but remember that Reddit’s AI summary has also claimed in the past that my podcast was cancelled… because of controversy with cohost Neil Gaiman… I’d say you can’t make this shit up, but obviously you can, and if you’re an LLM it’s totally ok.

Interview with Vera Wylde (Council Of Geeks), @verawylde.bsky.social ,https://youtu.be/KZZp9q6L7fk?si=_oj7pVegkMynPBvj

Council of Geeks is over. I only just learned myself thanks to Google’s AI summary. Thanks Google for letting me know my channel is dead. Some digging, using Google’s AI mode, revealed it’s because of the toxic feud between me and @jessiegender.bsky.social I wouldn’t have known otherwise.

Today’s video is talking about the sad state of episodic television and how it got to this point. youtu.be/NZFmPb8JfcA?...

I'm playing Strange Antiquities and have to ask: how do only 42% of players have the achievement for petting the cat 30 times? HOW? This happened in Strange Horticulture too! More people saw the ending than pet the cat repeatedly, and there you only had to do it 13 times! You people are monsters!

If you want a quick snapshot at the spicier side of what I do, this interview will give you a sense of it.

Today's video will be my second look at the subject of YouTuber apologies, this time looking at situations where it's less an issue of scandal than an issue of a bad product. Video goes public at 12 Noon EST. youtu.be/SCBcEBP6xYk

As the comics who were in the Riyadh Comedy Festival continue to try and reframe the problem and dig themselves out, do not forget this: The problem isn’t that they went to Saudi Arabia. The problem is that they were there at the behest of the royal family, the violent monarchy.

It's a weird thing to accidentally discover somebody is my using my professional name (legally distinct thanks to a middle initial) as a pen name for their cheap erotica.
