#TheHotSpot is a quirky Japanese comedy on #Netflix. A slice of life series about friends who learn a co-worker is an alien with "amazing" powers like bending coins or retrieving volleyballs from the gym ceiling or putting screen protectors on phones without air bubbles. Very fun! 🗻

A scary night out at #CarolinaTheatreDurham seeing a #RetroFilmSeries double feature of #PitchBlack and #30DaysOfNight! Two frightening favorites of ours. 🎬🎥🎞️🍿

It's always terrific to talk with AJ about Doctor Who, Gallifrey, and Big Finish Audio.

We had a terrific time seeing an excellent stage production of #Deathtrap at the historic #HanoverTavernTheatre by the #VirginiaRepertoryTheatre. Fantastic cast. Great suspense. Good laughs. 🎭

A fantastic meeting of #TheLiteraryAgents for the annual BSI Baker Street Irregulars Weekend featuring playwrights discussing #SherlockHolmes. Guests: Ken Ludwig, Mark Shanahan, Jeffrey Hatcher, Jonathan Barnes. Hosts: Ashley D. Polasek, Mark Jones. Excellent discussion! 🔎

Ringing in the New Year at #GoodnightsComedyClub with super talented comedian #AlonzoBodden! A fun night of great laughs! 😃

A wonderful weekend in Cumberland, MD with our dear friends #ProfessorAlan and Mrs Quarter-Bin. Spending time with them is like a Christmas present. 🎄

We just watched the second season finale of #MurderInASmallTown with #RossifSutherland and #KristinKreuk. This has been a favorite show of ours the last couple of years and we hope it returns for another season soon.

Watching an episode of #QI and it's quite interesting to learn that motorized scooters similar to those that are popular today date back to 1915. 🛴

Celebrating the holiday season with the #StarTrekWines Advent Calendar featuring 24 mini-wines. Beautiful and detailed packaging for the upcoming 60th anniversary of #StarTrek. Day 1 is dedicated to the USS Defiant. We'll catch up the other days soon. Live Long and Prosper! 🖖

#FackhamHall is Downton Abbey + Airplane + Agatha Christie + The Naked Gun + Monty Python = a hilariously funny Upstairs Downstairs parody filled with witty wordplay and slapstick visuals. We haven't laughed this much at a movie in a very long time! Highly recommended for those not easily offended.

Getting in the holiday spirit with some good laughs with the classic 1945 film "Christmas in Connecticut" at #CarolinaTheatreDurham for the #RetroFilmSeries. 🎬🎥🎞️🍿

An Evening with #PeterBillingsley and #AChristmasStory! A fabulously fun night at #CarolinaTheatreDurham seeing the classic film followed by a Q&A with star #OfficialPeterB who played Ralphie. Great laughs and so many interesting stories. The perfect Christmas present! 🎅🏻 🐰🎄
