Just lost my faith in duct-tape. The wind wins.

Hell yes. Keep an eye out for our show in 2026. THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER Dan Stevens, Judith Light, CCH Pounder, Stephen Root, Aasif Mandvi, John Benjamin Hickey, and so many more great actors. I am so proud of what we created and for you all to see it. It’s gonna fuck you up! In a good way.

To all the readers who've picked up one or two (or fifteen!) of our titles this year, to all of the bookstores who've supported our authors and titles, and to all of the authors who continue to share their work with us... I can't thank you all enough for helping to make our 2025 so special. 🖤

Got me in the feels on this one

Went super crash out off the rails those last 20 minutes but still kinda fun. Red caps had a Cat’s Eye goblin feel to them.

They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead

the vibe you need to thrive in this day and age, the groove you need to make it through the Christmas season, is this picture of Ronnie James Dio playing bass when he was in Elf

Really enjoying this. @todgoldberg.bsky.social has some of the best character names

Elfman totally knocked Maiden out this year.

Always a sucker for a music documentary. Pretty great.

It’s not so much that Dolph Lundgren playing a Witcher is frying my brain, because the wig’s not half bad, it’s that he’s from the Cat School. Should’ve gone Bear School, for sure.

Sometimes folks need to lower or pause their support; we understand. But less than 1% of BCS readership donates or supports. www.patreon.com/beneath_ceas... 1/3

Thinking ST season 5’s gonna have a ‘Luke, I’m your father’ moment.

That Kevin Hart thing on Netflix had me in tears.

"Woman Like Stone Like Water" is my pleistocene ghost story in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social, but nobody's yet invented ghosts or mysteries so it isn't very scary

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

Pacing, editing, camerawork, whatever you call it, Magnolia & Requiem to a Dream gave me major anxiety. Watched Friendship last night and it did the same thing. I’ll pin it down someday.
