Criterion Channel's latest collection programming Wall Street alongside The Devil's Advocate is fucking hilarious. The Devil's Advocate, where Wall Street's subtext being made fully Biblical parable text... God I love the programmers over there lmao

ME: oh a little Zohran video for St Patrick's Day, probably just celebrating Irish culture, maybe a few green beer jokes ZOHRAN (2 minutes in): ...and that's why King Leopold I of Belgium is a big wet bitch. Furthermore...

He looks like if The Matrix was about being cis.

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

The behind-the-scenes story of this movie led us to believe it would be a disaster, but THE CABINET OF CALIGARI (1962) surprises your deadicated hosts! Directed by Roger Kay, written by Robert Bloch of PSYCHO fame, & starring Glynis Johns & Dan O'Herlihy. #horrorsky #filmsky #podcast #classichorror

EVERYBODY CAN MAKE ART IT CAME FREE WITH YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT

Ok so the downside of the LOTR trilogy being back in theatres and seeing RotK on the big screen again has been me listening non-stop to the soundtracks and having tears run down my face at work lmao

What happens you question whether you earned your position based on your own merits, or thanks to your wife being... *checks notes* a witch?! We dive into NIGHT OF THE EAGLE (1962, Hayers) aka BURN, WITCH, BURN!, starring the enigmatic Peter Wyngarde and adapting Fritz Leiber's novel CONJURE WIFE.

Bonus commentary and context with Carney's speech

On the one hand, Andrea Arnold's version is So Good and also So Intense, and probably the most accurate adaptation I've seen On the other hand, William Wyler's version is Very Pretty

I think about this quote from the Luddite movement all the time

Exactly this. But also fuck AI for making me, a hitherto proudly irreligious bastard, resort to concepts like "your immortal soul" when trying to express what's at stake here.

Through this process, I also learned that SoundCloud has a limit of 450 episodes on an RSS feed. Scream Scene is rapidly approaching that 🙈 Episodes will exist online, they just wouldn't be seen on streaming services. So, gonna have to look into how we want to address this in the future...

I am begging people doing the "Turn the Lights Off" edits to learn about match cuts and cross dissolves

This. Do you know how many ideas I have for comics, audio dramas, animations, comedy videos, short stories, etc that the world doesn't know about because I can't afford to make them happen? UBI would allow me to work MORE, not less. Because I love what I do. I don't love that I don't have the money.

Happy Halloween, Creatures of the Night! We have an exciting Halloween treat up on the Patreon: an audiobook adaptation of Edith Nesbit's "The House of Silence," narrated by @stegosarahs.bsky.social! www.patreon.com/posts/house-...

Halloween week episode!

So I got to see it on Saturday night and Damn Del Toro Very good, very Gothic. Very much enjoyed.

What if I just started screaming in meetings? Just let the mask drop and let it all out?

Netflix heard my pleas and has opened showings in my area, albeit a week later. I don't care. I'm already at the theatre, ready and waiting.

Thankful for the ability to get a covid and flu vaccine. But I shouldn't have to disclose a health status in order to get the basics in universal healthcare

GDT's Frankenstein isn't screening anywhere near me 😭😭😭 I'm devastated

Good morning, I got emotional over a video where people celebrated a steam shovel's 100 year birthday by using it to dig in a random field. How's your day going?

The person who punched Richard Spencer and instantly made him a meme never got caught. Just threw one punch and skipped off into immortality. I think about that a lot.

wizard frog is praxis

Hell yes

The way dysfunctional brains work is so frustrating sometimes. I *couldn't* go get groceries because I'd need to shower, but I can't shower because the garbage needs to be taken out, but I shouldn't do that until I trim my nails, but I can't trim my nails until I have a shower, yadda yadda yadda 😵‍💫

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Goodnight.

Got Damn Andor

I'm very proud of this episode, both because of the material (gothic! Victorian lit!) and of our discussion ("am I wrong? no, it is the children who are haunted")

look I'm not myself a political scientist so I can't say what effects it would have for a spate of politicians to crop up saying "the enemy is the oligarchy" and "the enemy is billionaires" while swinging a kettlebell but I think we should try it for science and see what happens

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable

This looks dope as hell! Sincerely hope to see some folk horror love for 1952's White Reindeer, 1958's Lake of the Dead, or even 1936's Fährmann Maria!

Happy to report that today broke the week long curse of Something Bad Happening To Me, Personally, Every Day 🙇‍♀️🙌

Hey, c'mere, I wanna tell you a secret and I don't want my computer to hear *whispers* i fucking hate photoshop so fucking much

Oh it's international cat day? Shout out to the Calgary Humane Society for this little cutie pie

Good news - letting the gardens go wild with flowers and clover has created a diverse little ecosystem where I'm seeing creatures I didn't even know we had in Alberta, like gray garden slugs! Bad news - uhhh pretty sure I encountered TWO (2) black widow or false widow spiders this evening 😬

Lemon pig ....please... bring us good fortune this year (Nother new sticker design)

Vacuumed 💪 swept 💪 laundry 💪 dryer broke 😭 fixed it myself 💪

"It's not to say there wouldn't be consequences in response to harm. The question is, do those consequences ... help build a healthier society, or do those consequences invisibilize the problem and produce further violence?"

Reacher being in here is funny because this particular photo doesn't fit the female gaze, but him beating up a guy to get to his slice of peach pie absolutely is

If this is accurate, WeTransfer is unusable for professional creative work. Would violate most work-for-hire contracts to share copyrighted material with a third party like this.

Really trying to enjoy Andor (and it is good, don't get me wrong) but God the real world stress and tension it gives really hurts

I think about this constantly

I'm pretty happy with how this episode came out and the research behind it! Take a listen to learn about the origins of Canadian film production, LSD usage in psychiatry, and the origins of today's Canadian film exhibition monopoly 👇

Needed this reminder today.
