The Simpsons is 36 years old today. Here’s an old podcast about the Christmas special I made sure not to miss in 1989, with @mserinmevans.bsky.social, @brandonmedley.bsky.social, & @imgonnadj24.bsky.social.

“The Small One,” from 1978, was Don Bluth’s last project for Disney, and it’s gorgeous. Here’s a very old podcast about it with @ieatvideogames.bsky.social and @brandonmedley.bsky.social.

Amazing. Five stars. See it on the big screen if you can.

E.T. and Meet Me in St. Louis have two of the best depictions of Halloween in any movie that is not explicitly a Halloween movie.

🎃 It’s a Scrooge Sunday Halloween with @brandonmedley.bsky.social and @radchristmas.bsky.social.

I'm in this group! I think this was my favorite panel at Dragon Con this year.

Seeing Superman again this afternoon.

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

I want a Superman Returns prequel with Sam Huntington's Jimmy Olsen investigating "that birthday clown massacre thing" Perry mentions.

@thechrishaley.bsky.social and @denobel.bsky.social, the idea of y'all recording a Superman commentary got me so excited. Been catching up on the podcast the last two weeks and loving it. Hoping it doesn't completely end with summer.

Maybe this will put a smile on his face.

And again tonight.

More reason to dislike Buc-ee's. www.cnn.com/2025/07/26/c...

Me watching SUPERMAN again this afternoon.

I don't know if I'll ever recapture the comics joy of reading Superman comics during the triangle numbering days.

🎃 Today on the podcast, it’s both Halloween in July and Scrooge Sunday, so we’re crushing two hands with one garbage disposal with the time Roseanne got haunted by the ghosts of Halloween Past, Present, and Future. With @radchristmas.bsky.social and @brandonmedley.bsky.social!

@sammyhain.bsky.social Igs out of stock now (don't know if it will be back), but I thought of you when I saw this. www.disneystore.com/r2-bne-star-...

When you're waiting to board a plane, do you ever look around and think, "these are the people who'd be on the island with me if we have a 'LOST' experience?" Try to figure out the dozen or so of you who'd be the main cast, who'd be the redshirts, & who'd be the tailies that show up later? Just me?

Heading to Virginia Seminary this week for my January intensive. Got to the airport in Valdosta well before daylight only for the flight to be delayed several hours due to ice in Atlanta. So, I came to the 10 AM service at Christ Church.

From Nick Cave's most recent Red Hand File...

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

First book of 2025 finished! This one had been on my TBR list for a while now. Solid crime fiction with a supernatural horror element lurking over the whole thing. I've encountered Gabino Iglesias on social media, but this was my first time reading one of his books. I will be reading more.

I read 76 books in 2024 (seminary really inflates that total and I didn't even log all of those). Of the new releases, I think these five are my favorites. I know Wild Robot Protects was a 2023 release, but I didn't get to it until 2024.

He sits in my lap every night but usually he faces the TV. Tonight, he turned himself around so he could watch me.

Binge watching Joe Pera Talks With You because I never watched beyond season one, and I just heard it's leaving HBO Max on January 11. I hate this whole removing things for tax write-offs.

Happy birthday to my wonderful wife!

Reminder that if you don't get Syfy channel, there is a Twilight Zone channel on Pluto TV where you can still have a New Year's marathon.

Ravi Cabot-Conyers is so good on Skeleton Crew.

🎉 In this house we ring in the New Year by watching this baby own his big, beautiful, boingy ears. Here’s our podcast from the archive on Rudolph’s Shiny New Year, with @imgonnadj24.bsky.social and @brandonmedley.bsky.social.

This week has finally given me time to watch season two of Star Trek: Prodigy. I had watched the premiere when it dropped but then life got very busy and complicated for me. But I watched all 20 episodes over the past three days. This series just keeps getting better.

Last year, I donated a massive box of RPG books to a local prison. One of my best friends from high school is a prison librarian & he says RPGs are extremely sought after but very rarely donated, so if you have any unused RPG manuals you don't need consider donating them.

rip to our most x-files president

Did they sacrifice the Pop-Tart again?

Was not expecting the Doctor Who Christmas special to be the first piece of mass media I've seen that explicitly says "we cannot memory hole how horrible 2020 was, you gotta process that shit"

Ncuti Gatwa is just SO good as the Doctor.

we all have an emotional support dead famous guy and who he is says a lot about you

Who all got a copy of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations for Christmas?

Merry Christmas, everyone.

I hope Santa can make it through The Barrier… 🎅🏻

To me, my X-Mas!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!! ❤️

O God, you have caused this holy night to shine with the brightness of the true Light: Grant that we, who have known the mystery of that Light on earth, may also enjoy him perfectly in heaven; where with you and the Holy Spirit he lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

It's time.

I'm sorry but the Riverbottom Nightmare Band deserved to win the contest. Can you imagine if you lived in that little town and saw that band play? It would change your life.

I feel like I see the same people complaining every year about stores being packed or out of the items they want as they scramble around on 12/23 trying to do all their Christmas shopping in one day. You think they'd learn...

@starksscraps.bsky.social At least today's Simpsons prize was a reference to one of my favorite episodes.

A portrait of famous Victorian author, Charles Dickens from this day in 2019.

It's the weekend, baby

This is your annual reminder that The Oh Hellos Family Christmas Album (the first one, not the second one) remains the greatest Christmas album of all time.

The thing i like best about James Gunn is that he looks at the source material (comics) and sees how ridiculous it can be and says "yeah that rules"
