LATEST EPISODE 🔗
I am still watching the thing I need to watch to do the next mainline episode, so instead you get a bit of a grab bag. I talk about the writing I've been doing for a new game that you could test if you want, a cool blogpost by Morgan Davie (https://morgueisprettyawesome.com), and my new(ish) websit…

In which I attempt to puzzle out precisely why I have suddenly been subjected to a lot of second-hand low-stakes beef among people who want to be Facebook influencers, and why one of them ended up in court recently.

With the sad passing of National Treasure Sam Neill, it seemed only fitting that we look at probably his weirdest role - Andrzej Żuławski's 1981 divorce-(monster)-horror movie "Possession". Neill plays Mark, a spy (and dog assassin?) who abandons his job in order to return to his family, only to fi…
"The Polar Express" (2004) is a divisive movie, in which 6 separate Tom Hankses (Toms Hanks?) hold conversations with one another in different voices and neither of the two primary characters actually have names. It attempts to adapt a very quiet, dreamlike picture book into a riotous early 00's 3D…
Saul Bass is a guy whose work you have definitely seen, even if you don't know it. Between 1954 and 1995 (along with his wife Elaine) he provided title sequences and posters for a staggering array of movies, in addition to designing some of the most recognisable and iconic logos for major American…
Russ Meyer's "Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!" (1965) might be the ur-example of a cult movie. Widely derided as trash on its release, it has been re-evaluated as a camp classic and is now regarded (amongst other things) as part of the weird overlap of Venn circles where the creator's thinly-disguised…
Amid the global panic about the rise of fascism, I take a second to wonder if there's a different right wing form of power consolidation on the menu, and look to fiction for possible answers.

I take a solo minisode to explain what I've been up to for a month and a half, and how Winston Peters Has Always Been Like This.

"The Howling III: The Marsupials" (1987) was genuinely the stuff of schoolyard legend when I was in primary school in the early 90s, due to a notorious sequence involving a female lycanthrope giving birth to a "joey" who seeks refuge in her pouch. I did not, however, know what this rumoured movie w…
Originally started by Peter Furler and George Perdikis in 1985, Newsboys are such an enduring mainstay of Christian rock that the band is still going strong absent any of the original members. Over that 40 year career, their sound has changed so drastically that if you say that you either love or h…
