"Side note, my favorite character in the whole series was Special Agent Hall, with his vape pen and his long coat and his very fashionable green nails. I would read an entire series about that guy." Late as usual, Elizabeth reviews James Tynion IV's "The Deviant." pixelatedgeek.com/2026/03/revi...

Today we tackle one of the great cult b-movies of the last 20 odd years: Troll 2! A movie with no trolls, no actors, and some seriously over the top performances, which have to been seen to be believed. Maybe the most meme-able movie of all time. #podcast #movies #troll2 #bmovie

This movie doesn’t make a goddamn lick of sense! It’s about a maniac killing people dressed as Santa Claus on the streets in London. People continue to dress as Santa Claus/Father Christmas regardless, giving him plenty of victims to choose from.
