I seriously just had the BEST time recording a podcast with @frankenpodcast.bsky.social. If you guys haven't listened to their episodes yet, you should get on it. Kalid and Joe know how to have fun. www.frankensteinspodcast.com

Thank you so much for the kind words in your intro, @miquai.bsky.social! This was a delightful chat & can't wait to have you back on @dslovepod.bsky.social!

Not without their flaws, but GRIMCUTTY & COME PLAY are couple of severely underseen/underrated horror flicks. Definitely had a lot of fun with both & they make for a good double feature!

100% agreed. Really digging the vibes of this first issue & love how this is following up on some dangling threads in some cool and unique ways. Definitely looking forward to issue #2.

New podcast episode! 💚🎙🖖 I beam aboard @dslovepod.bsky.social—a podcast that explores love, in all its forms, throughout the final frontier—to discuss the relationship between D'Vanna Tendi and Samanthan Rutherford on Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Wack. Want to watch this show even more now.

Just finished the SYFY show, #Revival (based on the comic of the same name) w/Melanie Scrofano. Turned out to be a really fun and inventive sci-fi/horror-adjacent show with some cool and unique ideas! Admittedly, it bit off a bit more than it could chew by the end, but gotta respect the ambition.

Recently had an absolutely delightful conversation with @miquai.bsky.social about Star Trek: Lower Decks for an upcoming @dslovepod.bsky.social ep. It was a fun reminder of how much I love connecting other fans in the Trek community, especially when the world feels grim. Look for the ep. soon!

Of course experts say their wrong, because they are wrong. This is like when two Batman villains team up and it's bad for everyone but also really stupid.

Great article all the way through

When the government can silence one artist, it threatens freedom for all. #picard #startrek

If Andor taught me anything it's that we need to start looking for a mysterious antiquities dealer

i just know we're all going to have to sit through a three minute clip of joe rogan saying "i can't believe censorship is happening"

American Broadcasting Company? More like Always Be Caving

Up next on the pod! We’re joined by the fantastic Wi-Moto Nyoka (of @duskyprojects.bsky.social) to chat about her contributions to the horror genre as a creator as well as the 2020 French-Moroccan supernatural slasher, KANDISHA. Super fun conversation, look for it soon!

Dig it! Can't wait to watch this with our little ones!

Happy #StarTrekDay! 🖖🏻 A while back we did an episode dedicated to the Salt Vampire creature played by stuntwoman, Sandra Gimpel. The Trek episode featuring this creature, "The Man Trap,"was the very first Star Trek episode shown on TV on Sept. 8, 1966. www.frankensteinspodcast.com/36-the-salt-...

September 8, 1966. Happy Star Trek day! 🖖🏻 🖖🏻 💜

⭐️ New Episode! ⭐️ Life found a way! We're talking original JURASSIC PARK on the pod with our friends & regular guests, Grant Leitbrouck and Nicole Praska. So much fun to gush about an all-time classic. Give it a listen! Thank you to @jimtandberg.bsky.social for the amazing artwork!

This is a movie that not just depicts but actively celebrates the hard work of old-school wheat farming as an act of resistance to fascism. What better podcast to listen to for Labor Day?

Remember how if a kid choked on a little plastic toy they used to stop selling the toy

Recently started re-watching the scifi show DEFIANCE, from 2013. Vibe-wise, It's an interesting intersection between the space opera shows of the 90s and some of the more modern Canadian scifi shows we're seeing today (i.e. REVIVAL or SURREAL ESTATE). #Defiance

Yes, because I was utterly at a loss for a response MORE USELESS than thoughts and prayers.

I say this extremely seriously: one of the main skills children have to learn to be adults is to do things they *don't* find interesting. This is both because many necessary things in life are boring and because sometimes interesting things take time and effort first.

Counterpoint: no it doesn’t you fuckin moron

Really enjoyed the introduction of the M'Kroon through N'jal (awesome portrayal from actor Ish Morris, for the record) in the SNW episode, "Through the Lens of Time." Always eager to see new aliens in Star Trek & the design of these guys was fantastic. If only we could have seen more!

thought this was good

Feeling similarly. This is the same guy who - among other issues - has been quite regressive on the treatment of unhoused folks, and also came down pretty transphobic in his little podcast show. Glad he isn’t rolling over for Trump, but no way there isn’t a lot of performative self-interest at play.

I was inspired to revisit these movies after catching @honorszombie.bsky.social’s video on them & I’ve gotta admit that they kind of rule?? “Unloved” is a good way to put it - definitely undeserving of the vitriol. Look for our chat about the films on an upcoming @dslovepod.bsky.social episode!

Really stoked about this episode. CONTROL FREAK was a real fun hidden gem of a film (go check it out on Hulu if you haven't seen it yet), and it was so cool to chat with the film's writer/director about it!

We’ve covered a few other non-Trek things in the past & we’ll be doing that again! With a year since its release, we’ll be taking a look back at Zack Snyder’s ambitious, 2-part, Heavy Metal/Star Wars-inspired space adventure, REBEL MOON (the R-rated director’s cuts)!

Finally watched Michael Mann's THE KEEP (on 4k from @vinsyn.bsky.social!). Even with the understanding the film was butchered by studio interference, disjoined would be an understatement. Still, it's got some striking visuals, great performances, and a dope as hell creature!

Last week I had the huge pleasure of chatting to @frankenpodcast.bsky.social about one of my favourite Ray Harryhausen movies: Clash of the Titans. www.frankensteinspodcast.com/116-greek-go...

“PragerU is experience extreme censorship” they say as they strike a deal with the White House.

Hey Ghibli fans! If you missed our recent episode on Hayao Miyazaki's classic, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, go back & check it out now that we've got the official @jimtandberg.bsky.social artwork to go with it! This might be one of my favorite pieces he's done for the podcast yet! Stunning!

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Solid mail day!

Re-posting our latest pod ep. in case it was missed AND we were able to add @jimtandberg.bsky.social 's absolutely gorgeous new artwork for this episode! Enjoy!

Pretty stoked for this one! Look for it in the coming weeks!

I will always be reminded of this scene whenever I hear or use the word 'sabotage.'

This sucks. I tend to believe that different kinds of public transit options are a good thing, actually. To be fair, it's pretty clear that this whole project was doomed to fail and/or even sabotaged by not being allowed to go all the way to St. Cloud as intended.

Reporting on the way conservatives planned to promote Prager U while they were defunding PBS would have been useful context for readers and the general public.

“Support the troops”

Most of the theaters in Chicago are concentrated on the north side of the city. That means if you’re on the west or south side, your options are extremely limited. A few folks want to change that for at least one neighborhood in the city.

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

Thought this was an announcement for a new Daily Wire movie for a hot sec

My @letterboxd.social watchlist is a living document

I hadn't watched this movie since I was a kid but it's still an absolute delight. Fun episode of the podcast! Give it a listen!

Absolutely LOVE that @jamesgunn.bsky.social gave us a Kaiju beast, some delightful makeup/prosthetics for Metamorpho, and a very weird, fun and practical monster in Mr. Handsome (played by the amazing Trevor Newlin too!!). All on top of just simply making a banger Superman flick!
