Never thought anything would top Disney video game Epic Mickey in terms of a children's entertainment brand name with unfortunate connotations in certain locales (here that means 'Wonderful Penis' to the uninitiated) but it hit me that some scottish parents had to hear their kids worship 'Mr Beast'.

Hadn't realized nine and dex had returned, thought the fake Timberlake song (which I liked!) and it's big suit video had finished them off as a prospect. Suddenly there's five new videos, every single one jammed wall-to-wall with a very specific kind of baffling punchline.

The lesson is clear, american politicians must seek the approval of jadakiss on an individual basis.

Wormrot were unreal tonight. Great to see heavy duty moshing, especially of the noble, rhythmless, spiteful pushmosh school practiced when I was a teenager and not this imported American hardcore stuff where lads wearing schoolbags take turns pretending to be Eddy Gordo from Tekken 3.

whenever I see people engaging in west wing fantasies about confronting conservatives with the idea people hate them in the belief it'll prompt a change of heart, I often think of when cheney noscope headshotted a 78 year old he barely knew and the only person to apologize was the guy who got shot.

Podcast listeners may remember Tim MacGabhann from an episode earlier in the year in which we both made Kilkenny noises about his excellent new memoir The Black Pool. He now somehow has an even newer book of short stories called Saints. It's good. Also, here's a recent interview quote I enjoyed.

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

Another round of his least favourite night of the year has given Novak renewed vigor for his goal of establishing World Evil.

I know its late in the evening to be recommending a long pod, i apologise for that. Terrifiers came up in a Discord im in, so i recd this hilarious ep of Live At The Death Factory, by @nochorus.bsky.social and @strida.bsky.social about the head tilt universe of Art the clown. Now i rec it you lot

Really glad we did this episode when we did, largely because the third one had heavy horror industry vibes thus being much less compelling. They need to allow your man's obvious syringe fetish to return in the fourth one. bsky.app/profile/weir...

Turns out this is just this guy's actual name. I thought he was speaking in a professional capacity as some kind of pedophile adjudicator.

bsky.app/profile/noch... don't know why I didn't think the picture was funny enough to post.

First job interview in four months today so of course I bolted awake at 5am grinding my teeth so hard the cat was staring down at me expectantly, hoping I had either turned into his dry food dispenser or that the moment he longs for, my death, had arrived.

Reminder that they're paying Campbell properly only after the studio disgustingly fired Melissa Barrera over her statements against genocide, which then led to Jenna Ortega quitting the franchise, so they were out their two leads.

I loved this series. Sean's journey into renewed enthusiasm for film is really inspiring, both in his criticism and in making me want to take films more seriously.

The noise I made when I saw this in my feed this morning

I just posted the final episode of 31 Murders to Midnight for paid subscribers of patreon.com/sfultra, covering the last seven films of the series. Topics discussed: technicality draculas, japanese horror intersecting with lovecraft, getting blindsided by Child's Play 2 and Dennis Cooper (sort of).

There is no ceasefire. There never was.

Cat Eyed Boy tribute for Mantis zine

Recently I've been a bit frustrated with the show's listenership having sort of plateaued. When this happens, I take a look at what critics with wider reach do to achieve that. I'm then immediately overcome with gratitude that I decided before the show began to only do something if it interested me.

Skipped Horrorhon this year, weak line up and you couldn't pay to experience Irreversible and Martyrs amid such festive jocularity, but saddened to hear Liquid Death is not sponsoring. The year everyone constantly quaffed free fizzy water was the most chill, tidiest and least fragrant horrothon ever

Going through some old t-shirts from the attic. Forgot I had this one. Wish I could say I had the appropriate reaction, see right pic, but no. Laughed and immediately put it back in the attic unworn so I can go through the same process in a couple of years time.
