One time I sat in the Munster Koach. Horror Books Guy at Bloody Disgusting. Pop Culture Raconteur and Critic at Pop Heist. Host of @scaresshapedus.bsky.social. Austin Film Critics member. 🍅-approved. Always Writing and counting the days until Christmas.
Nice of Tennessee to forget how football works there at the end so the Longhorns could take the dub. Classy move.
Texas and Tennessee out here playing a rousing game of "No WE can get the bigger penalty!"
This October I will write 31 essays in 31 days about THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE. They'll be at @popheist.com for subscribers only. That's a serialized book-length analysis of one of the greatest horror films of all time from a noted Texan horror critic. 7 bucks a month. Let's fucking go.

Thanks to GOOD MYTHICAL MORNING I now know about Prince of Thieves cereal, a pseudo-tie-in to the Costner Robin Hood movie with cereal pieces that were meant to look like arrows but just look like dicks. Y'all they made Robin Hood Dick Cereal in 1991.

The Year is 2079. Every major video game franchise has been adapted to film or television several times over. A Hollywood Reporter headline blasts out across the neural feeds: "Will DIG DUG 4: DIGGIN' & DUGGIN' Be The Film That Finally Breaks the Video Game Movie Curse?"
Listen I love the new RESIDENT EVIL but y'all gotta stop pretending like there have never been any good video game adaptations before. At the *very least* WEREWOLVES WITHIN exists, y'all, come on. We do this every single time and it's exhausting.

Sometimes I am jealous of the movie swag some of my friends get and sometimes I have More Complicated Feelings!
Anyway @hbomax.bsky.social sent me a cake of my own head in the #Backrooms and it’s so accurate I’m not going to sleep for a week. Haven’t seen the movie yet? Go watch it on streaming and come back so you can share this nightmare with me.
I'm happy to see some stuff on here that I wouldn't have expected (hooray for PEN15!), but leaving THE YOUNG POPE off the list invalidates the entire exercise.

Y'all know I had to see the Christmas horror movie at Fantastic Fest. For @bloody-disgusting.com, I reviewed RED SNOW, a Finnish horror-comedy that casts a vampire as Santa Claus with very fun, compelling results.

I don't generally consider myself someone who makes friends easy. But at Fantastic Fest? At Fantastic Fest I got friends everywhere. Thank y'all for another great one, see you next year.
New at @bloody-disgusting.com, my Fantastic Fest review of THE SWALLOW, a film with a good monster idea at its center and...well, not much else. I was baffled by huge chunks of this thing, as you'll read at the link below.

I want a candidate who is finally going to fix the 3 NINJAS movie franchise. This is the only issue I care about and I'm extremely belligerent about it.
Hey. If the nyt invited you to be part of a focus group what would you do as a bit?
