Heard you talking about Backrooms on Afterlunch. That movie looked completely ripped off of the book House of Leaves if you're ever read that except that House of Leaves is fantastic. @michaelmay.bsky.social

I was listening to your old Young Guns II podcast. The Christian Slater talk made me realize you guys should tackle Heathers. We watched that movie so many times in high school and I can still quote half the movie. @paxholley.com @shawnrobare.com @shezcrafti.com

Met this guy the last time we were in Hawaii (20 years ago). He was staying at our hotel and I saw him in the lobby getting coffee. All I could say was "It's John Locke!" @paxholley.com

I just went back and listened to your episode of Rad and wanted to share my BMX story. My best friend was in a race, crashed around a turn and someone rode over his head. Thankfully, he was wearing a helmet. But man do I wish we had cell phones. @shawnrobare.com @shezcrafti.com @paxholley.com

Started another book today you may be interested in, Pax. @paxholley.com www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

Rob, in September, Marvel is releasing 2 hardcovers of all of the Marvel Indiana Jones issues if you want to read them legally. $75 a piece. @spidey004.bsky.social www.reddit.com/r/OmnibusCol...

I just started this book today and I thought you three may be interested in it. It covers through Fast X and is one of those unauthorized inside looks. www.goodreads.com/book/show/22... @paxholley.com @michaelmay.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social

BTW, Capwolf is real dumb. If you like Capwolf, PKJ did a miniseries in 2023, Capwolf and the Howling Commandos. I haven't read it though. Also, check out Rick Remender's Punisher run for Frankencastle for dumbest ideas at Marvel. @spidey004.bsky.social

As a followup to the Lounge, Green Arrow died in #101 of his comic when his plane blew up in 1995. Superman offered to cut his arm off to save him and instead Ollie detonated the bomb to save Metropolis. So when Kevin Smith brought him back in 2001 fans were excited. @paxholley.com

Please don't squeeze the Charmin.

So I was listening to some old episodes of CFC and thought of a couple of old films that might be cool for you to cover. Freaked with Alex Winter and Keanu teaming up again. Roadside Prophets starring Ad-Rock and John Doe of X. @shezcrafti.com @shawnrobare.com @paxholley.com

@paxholley.com I was listening to your tale of starting a new job and it reminded me of when I started at AmEx. They needed me so soon I had to start on a Friday. Drove from MI to NY the night before. I show up and they don't have a computer for me and told me to read a magazine all day.

@paxholley.com On last week's Lounge, you were talking about A Knight of the Seven Kingdom's. It's closer to the Game of Thrones timeline than you think. One of Egg's brothers ends up in the Night Watch. He's Brother Aemon, the old blind man.

So I just found out that one of my comic book friend's dad is a popular cartoonist in Canada, Daryl Cagle. Then I found out he got his start working for the Jim Henson Company for 14 years. My mind is blown and I'm more than a little bit jealous.

I was listening to your Hobbes and Shaw episode and it became clear to me that you need to tackle different Jason Statham movies to pad out those Fast and Furious placeholders. @michaelmay.bsky.social @paxholley.com @spidey004.bsky.social

I've gotta go with The Cure "Disintegration", but this is like picking your favorite child. How can I not pick R.E.M. , The Smiths or They Might Be Giants?

@spidey004.bsky.social Butcher's Out Law and Paranormal Payback anthologies are both on NetGalley if you want to get them now and read them on your kindle. I started reading the anthology last night and Butcher wrote a Goodman Grey story for it.

@spidey004.bsky.social Not sure if you saw this but the Buffalo Philharmonic is playing the score of Batman '89 in 2 weeks. I know if I was in Buffalo, I'd be going. www.dcfilmsinconcert.com/buy-tickets

Book folks. What’s your last read, current read, and next read? Last: Mama Came Callin' by Ezra Clayton Daniels Current: The Cuckoo's Egg by Cliff Stohl Next: Operation Bounce House by Matt Dinniman

It's nice to settle in with my old friend Harry Dresden and catch up. It's been awhile.

Another idea for a show. Sweet Sixteen of sequels and prequels that should never have been made. @michaelmay.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social @paxholley.com The hardest point at this point is probably narrowing it down to 16 instead of starting at 64.

We finished Wonder Man last night and the best thing I can say about it is that it could have been a half hour special. So. much. filler.

So I had an idea for a future episode. How about you guys finish things that will never get finished like George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones)? @michaelmay.bsky.social @paxholley.com @spidey004.bsky.social

I just finished Enshitification by Cory Doctorow and I think everyone should read it.

Listening to the Lounge from last week. Post Modern Jukebox is terrific. They tour and you should definitely go see them. postmodernjukebox.com @spidey004.bsky.social @michaelmay.bsky.social

Heard you on Nerdstradomus. I read I Was a Teenage Slasher last year. I think you'd really like it given how you feel about horror movies. The premise is kind of that you can catch being a slasher like it's a cold. @paxholley.com

Is The Roundtable coming back guys? It's been 3 weeks. I miss my baseball talk. You guys are forcing me to listen to Foul Territory instead. @grantbrisbee.bsky.social @bymccullough.bsky.social @sammillerbb.bsky.social

Thought you might be interested in this since you guys are watching The Fast and the Furious movies. ew.com/universal-or... @michaelmay.bsky.social @paxholley.com @spidey004.bsky.social

I finished your 100th episode of IRM today. I liked it. As far as doing more of them. It's your show. Do what you want. If you're having a difficult time tracking down novelizations, open it up to scripts, comic adaptations, novels based on the movies, whatever. Treat Yo'self. @paxholley.com

If you figured out how to use Edelweiss, there's a new Dresden Files novella on there, Out Law. Comes out in May. I picked it up the other day. www.edelweiss.plus#sku=97983470... @spidey004.bsky.social

Thought you might be interested in this even though I thought it was bad. Apparently, Titan Comics made some comics based on Hammer films. I just finished The Mummy from Peter Milligan. There's a retrospective on the films as well. www.hoopladigital.com/comic/the-mu... @michaelmay.bsky.social

I just saw Jim Butcher is going on a book tour for the new Dresden Files book, Twelve Months. That means it should actually come out on 1/20 with no further delays. I've been jonesing for this one. @spidey004.bsky.social

I know most of you don't do Lego but a Lego Enterprise with this light kit in it is pretty compelling. Plus one of the minifigs is Riker with a trombone.

Nice episode this week guys. Happened to be wearing a Heatmiser / Coldmiser t-shirt while listening to it and just finished a Rudolph game on my PS5 last week. @michaelmay.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social

Saw this new Humble Bundle and thought you might be interested. It's a collection of cozy games for the computer. Even if they suck it was only $12 for 9 games. @michaelmay.bsky.social www.humblebundle.com/games/wholes...

Found this book that's coming out for you Sherlockers about an actor who used to play Sherlock uncovering a mystery. It's read now on Netgalley. I just picked it up. www.netgalley.com/catalog/book... @michaelmay.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social @paxholley.com

Went and saw Darene Love's Christmas show last night. She's still got a great voice at 84. FYI, David Letterman did not make it to the show.

I don't know what to do with myself. For once I'm caught up with the onslaught of Michael May and Pax Holley podcasts. Typically, December has a new Afterlunch from SBC almost every day. So today was with CFC and Santa Claus: The Movie from last year. @michaelmay.bsky.social @paxholley.com

@jesstures.bsky.social If you want to read Hellboy digitally, Dark Horse has put all of the comics on Humble Bundle the last 2 years over Christmas for around $40. It's an exceptional deal.

@jesstures.bsky.social Those Hellboy omnibuses are the way to go if you want to read them in order without having to figure anything out. There are 4 of them for the main story and then 2 that collect all of the short stories. That's all you really need for the complete Hellboy story.

You and I like the same stuff Pax. I've read the Orphan X novels. (Hurwitz has also written Moon Knight, Punisher and Foolkiller for Marvel if you're interested) and I just got Cobalt Blue from the library last week. @paxholley.com

Mike, The Kryptonian Age is only the first 6 issues of the story. DC split it up. The last issue of the 2nd half, A League for Justice, comes out in Dec. The first half was just OK, it feels long. @michaelmay.bsky.social

So I thought of a new episode idea while I was getting caught up with the Oct episodes. What about a Star Wars EU debate for Legends books versus the current, shittier books where absolutely nothing of consequence happens? @paxholley.com @michaelmay.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social

Introduced my nephew to Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation Saturday night. It was great to see it return after a couple of decades away. I remember going to the midnight shows throughout the 90s when it would come to St. Louis or Champaign.

I just saw Scream is playing on 10/22 at AMC. Hopefully you have one nearby so you can take your daughter. @paxholley.com

Huh, A new Bride of Frankenstein film by Maggie Gyllenhaal with both her husband and brother in it plus Christian Bale as Frankenstein's monster. And it looks like they are some kind of Bonnie and Clyde in this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE-K... @michaelmay.bsky.social

Those Ultimate Spider-Man comics are great. So are Ultimates and Ultimate Black Panther. I think U Spidey is getting restarted after #24. Basically Hickman's leaving. It's the Maker's return. There's an event. He's been locked away for the last 2 years. @spidey004.bsky.social

Those Ghost Machine comics are good. I'm buying them all monthly from my LCS. Most of the Geoff Johns ones are set in the same universe, except Rook Exodus and I think Hyde Street. The two Peter Tomasi comics are part of Family Odysseys. The art in every book is terrific. @paxholley.com

Thanks for the recommendation for Daughters of Block Island. I quite enjoyed it. I think @michaelmay.bsky.social would really dig it too. A modern day gothic story. BTW, Block Island is a real place. @spidey004.bsky.social

I never thought I'd see a Monster Squad t-shirt but teefury has proved me wrong today. teefury.com/products/tee...
