A little compilation of 12 Nick at Nite bumpers aired in 1990 during the Alfred Hitchcock Dead Give-a-Way Marathon. TV used to be fun!
Gobble Gobble 🦃 I am excited for November with a new episode of Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now with @gringofantastico.bsky.social and special guest living legend @debbierochon.bsky.social (there might be a fun cameo as well 🦃). Also check out reccentertv.com
I'll be signing Chicago Pocket Cemeteries and making awkward conversation tomorrow at Sideshow Gallery in Chicago from 2-4pm.
Can we prop up Travis Knight as an example of an acceptable mega rich nepobaby? Like, if you're not going to spend it curing cancer or hunger, take your billions and make fulfilling creative stuff instead of just using it to try to not pay taxes
Dang, WILDWOOD was fantastic, very nice to see animation that doesn't shy away from dark fantasy. See it while you can! (Maybe with kids? Depends on your kids. )
When did Law and Order start being part of the Archieverse and couldn't they get Missi Pyle? I've missed a lot
Our inaugural edition of The Backlist digs into some haunted house horror novels that deserve your time. tinyurl.com/9j6e4dp

This isn't too surprising, as here it was playing only one showing a day in the middle of the day, and it's 3 hours - i do think it was buried, but hopefully it'll be streaming soon
$TSLAQ Seems like the only coverage. Hopefully incorrect. Google Gemini claimed not to find showtimes for this weekend, so… 🤷 @niedermeyer.online www.showbiz411.com/2026/10/23/c...
This is fascinating, and why the hell would you choose NORTH DAKOTA as a pilot program to see how well a state specific game would sell
just learned that there was a plan to make a carmen sandiego came for each of the 50 states but the only one they ended up actually making was north dakota en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_i...

Unemployment has run out, and we have yet to get another TV job (though we've come close!). We have savings, but if my work means anything to you, I would really, really, really appreciate you becoming a subscriber. And now you can make me watch your favorite crap!
Not an Episodes subscriber yet? No time like the present — especially since new subscribers, from now until November 1, can force our editor-in-chief @emilystjams.bsky.social to watch, quote, "some bullshit." Details here!
Chris Colfer, fine, but the important thing is "New Alice Krige horror movie"
MJ’s @pronouns.bsky.social says “The Restoration at Grayson Manor makes it feel fresh by mixing in a psychosexual game of cat-and-mouse between an evil gay guy and his even-more-evil mother.” In theaters Oct 9, on Shudder Dec 1.

"Honestly, if we end up with two hundred and twenty-five seats on the White Council, I would be disappointed. I would rather Sauron keep control of Middle-earth by five seats than have the Fellowship win by five, because then we’d be hostage to the Ents." buff.ly/9WluK1y

Funny story: we interviewed Cynthia Rothrock for our show after I ran into her outside the local pet supply and blurted out “Would you be willing to appear on my podcast?” www.patreon.com/haveyouseent...

I'm a big fan of Scranton PA's own Cynthia Rothrock. Even when a movie she's in is dumb, she shines. And I think I came up with a good description of her default character: she's Bruce Lee crossed with Cindy Lauper.
I had thoughts about people laughing inappropriately at revival screenings
I wrote this for the Chicago Tribune: The Uptown Theatre drew thousands during Open House Chicago. How do we get it restored? www.chicagotribune.com/2026/10/23/o...
"This exceptionally thoughtful and often hilarious documentary about Bamford explores the way she uses humor to filter her experiences and performance to temper her anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts." @nellminow.bsky.social reviews PARALYZED BY FEAR: THE MARIA BAMFORD STORY:

Finally journalism is back
‘Wicker’ stars Alexander Skarsgård as a man made entirely of wicker, complete with a rock-hard wicker dick. But what about splinters? Bacteria? Degradation? Would it be advisable, from a sexual-health perspective, to mount a basket dick? We asked a gynecologist: vulture.visitlink.me/DNQwX5
