On the new episode of The Important Cinem Club, we discuss the massively popular Crazy Cats from Japan! You probably haven't heard of them... but they were in 14 movies together. soundcloud.com/the-importan...

This Sunday night - EVIL PUDDLE at Visions Video in Northampton, MA! www.eventbrite.com/e/evil-puddl...

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

Mark your calendars. The Holiday Movie Mind Melter is happening on December 20th.

Early D&D’s saving throws are some of the most misunderstood rules in the game. But there was a rationale behind every category... even the weird ones! My new video up now if you’re curious about the origins. 🎲 Watch now: youtu.be/KG3_tzgLUoc #DnDHistory #TTRPG

What Are Next? (2025 Edition)

Holiday season viewing! youtube.com/watch?v=VUkh...

I was not aware till today there was a Godzilla Christmas Song officially sanctioned by Toho called Kaiju Christmas: youtu.be/Bk1H4Gg7YxE

🚨CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS🚨 The Journal of Stoogeological Studies: An Unauthorized Three Stooges Fanzine - Volume 2! I am looking for anything you have on Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, Joe, Curly Joe, Ted Healy, and any/all adjacent and related subjects. No experience required.

I only made it until November 30th before hearing Paul McCartney's dreadful Christmas song. Christmas is ruined.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Early Dragon Magazine is 𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙙 with ideas most players 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁. Gary’s 1978 “D&D: What It Is & Where It Is Going” article is only the start. In issues #19–22 I found: 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆! 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲! 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! Creators who Shaped the Future of D&D! Now live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2v5...

The prologue to Stranger Things 5 has a flashback to a monster assaulting a child by inserting something into his mouth and depositing "seeds" down his throat. This character was revealed, in previous seasons (chronologically after this event), to be struggling with his sexuality. Classy writing.

Hello. I will be recommending a Christmas movie every day on my YouTube channel this year. Please subscribe, watch the new, essential, life-changing video every day, and share it with everyone you know. Thank you.

Today somehow marks the 10th anniversary of the Important Cinema Club podcast. The first episode was called "Jerry Lewis is a Genius?" Today I feel confident that neither @declouxj.bsky.social nor I would feel the need to add that question mark to the title. soundcloud.com/the-importan...

Today on the pod: It's Gregory Hines vs Lady Terminator soundcloud.com/nosuchthinga...

Two Pennsylvania judges, Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan, wrongly imprisoned thousands of children in exchange for kickbacks from a for-profit juvenile detention center. It's a story about greed and corruption, but also how public fears can be leveraged for private profit. youtu.be/tyPGSJUw87I

Here I'm briefly explaining the crisis in Sudan. In short, the Sudanese people are being crushed between two warring factions, which are ruled by psychopathic murders and backed by wealthier nations for their own interests. youtu.be/xFC6al6yXOk

Playing through the HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest II reminds me that the Dragon Quest franchise remains the sweetest and least cynical game franchises in existence.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it. Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators. Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Now you can watch EVIL PUDDLE (2025) in the comfort of your own domicile. vimeo.com/ondemand/evi...

www.joey4congress.com Someone running for office who has a platform, takes sides on issues, and intends to fix things? This confuses me. I'm so used to politicians running on, literally, nothing. At best you might get "I'm not Trump!" That's not good enough. THIS is what we need.

⚔️ In early D&D, Paladins were the most noble, and the most punishing, class to play. What happened to the Paladin’s original meaning? 🎲 Find out now in my latest video: 𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙋𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝘿&𝘿’𝙨 𝙈𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙈𝙞𝙨𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨? youtu.be/z6IH_CIOk8g #DnD #OldSchoolDND #TTRPG #Paladin #ADnD #RPGHistory

Dragon Quest II's HD-2D remake corrects an injustice almost 40 years old. The princess of Cannock (who is just as much a descendant of the legendary hero as her brother) joins you on the quest. Who says good things aren't happening in the world right now?

I haven’t ruined a workplace, but I do take pride in ruining Jeff Bezos’ day every single chance I get.

In a just world he wouldn't have made it to 84.

Rich and Jack sings about dismemberment and dietary indifference, Mike asks a lady to join him at the club and Noiselund finds an old Casio. Set to some Halloweenwave. From: @redlettermedia.com ‬Best of the Worst: Halloween 2025 www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IaJ...

Happy Godzilla Day!

It's unhealthy to root for a team simply because you utterly despise their opponent and everything they stand for. I'm unreasonably annoyed Toronto didn't win. And I shouldn't be.

It's ya boy, Byron Nominal Howitzer! Here to tell you about the preview of 28 Years Later 2: 29 Years Later, which I saw with my good friend, Sir Danny Boyle. Wow, just wow. Jimmy Savile is back with the Jimmies, and there's zombies. Best horror movie of 2025. youtu.be/NYvJ1y32oSE

Cigarettes used to be cheap enough that you could give a whole pack out to each trick or treater instead of just one or two loosies. Failed fucking empire

The lich is one of D&D’s most powerful monsters, but its roots go far deeper than the Monster Manual. 💀 From ancient myth to Sword & Sorcery fiction to D&D, discover how this undead sorcerer evolved. 🎥 Watch now!: youtu.be/tHLnWQqTd6E #DnD #TTRPG #OSR #RPGHistory #DADDYROLLEDA1

It's a shame we spent the last 40+ years encouraging business owners to exploit undocumented immigrant labor rather than demanding robust labor protections that would guarantee those less-skilled jobs would be safe and desirable for legal residents. Oh well! 🤷 Live and learn, I guess.

There are 37 donors funding the $300 million build of the new White House ballroom. Unsurprisingly, Amazon is on that list. But you know who isn’t? Independent bookstores. And this is why it will *always* be bookstores over billionaires. ✊

I so rarely watch network TV. When I do, I can't help but wonder who is watching these programs they're advertising. Someone _has_ to be watching them. These networks aren't in business to make art, they make product to sell commercials. And this shit must turn a profit, right?

Best of the Worst: Halloween 2025

Today! Join us at secretcinematheque.com for THE 24-HOUR HORROR MOVIE MIND MELTER starting @ 11:00 AM (ET) to watch a stream of rare, weird and wonderful horror movies. It's a secret line-up, but as the films play, I will reveal the titles and posters below:

TONIGHT @ 8:00 PM (ET)! Join me for an evening of films at secretcinematheque.com that ALMOST made it into this year's 24-Hour Horror Movie Mind Melter. Maybe they'll be your new favourites, and you will be horrified I didn't include them. PUMPKIN BABY COMMANDS YOU TO WATCH.

boxd.it/bjOT6x -- My Letterboxd review of The Heroic Trio. Come for the three stunning lead actresses, stay for all the child murder.

boxd.it/bj7Nvb -- My Letterboxd review of Mr. Vampire III. 👻👻👻 I realized I hadn't logged it, so I decided to re-watch it to confirm, yes, I had seen it. 😬

boxd.it/bj7ygP -- My Letterboxd review of Boiling Point (2021), not to be confused with the short film by the same director from 2019 or the limited series by the same director from 2023. 🤔 Watch it for Stephen Graham's performance alone.

boxd.it/bj7eZb -- My Letterboxd review of Thunderbolts* My first sentence sums it up... "not too bad, honestly" Consider that high praise from me for a contemporary blockbuster.

boxd.it/bhWBPn Only just discovered this was on Criterion Channel. No idea if it was there last October and I just never got around to it. 🤷

Mass hysteria, or mass psychogenic illness, is when a group of people manifest physical symptoms without a physical cause. It's been documented for centuries, but it isn't a relic of the past. Here I explore some of the history, causes, and what it might tell us about humanity. youtu.be/AlKZh6R8V7c

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?
