This week on After Lunch, I crash the After Dinner Lounge to talk about my little Short Circuit Anniversary event adventures, and touch on some new and old movies I've been watchin. I love hanging with @michaelmay.bsky.social @bizarrojimmyolsen.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social and @paxholley.com

One of the first “cover songs that don’t work” that pops into my head is I Swear. The song isn’t great to begin with. But then both the R&B and Country versions don’t do it any favors. Plus it blew up and both versions played on the radio as nauseum.

I like cover songs. They can go sideways, sure, but I love a band or singer taking a song they love and putting their stamp on it. Been meaning to bring this up on the Lounge. What do you guys think of cover songs? What covers work? What don’t?

Sometime eBay offers up extreme treasure. Like this giant 10”x13” vintage sticker book that spans late 70s to mid 80s. The kid who owned this lived by the sticker-collecting rule: “If it sticks, it goes in the book” This will be a long thread folks… 🧵

So, I’m still kind of low key mad that Mission Impossible 8-9 didn’t bring back Emilio as hacker Jack to be the villain that’s working with/for the evil AI. And don’t tell me it’s because he died. You can write around that, especially in a M:I movie.
