Stardaddy of the Astronomica Podcast. Communist. He/Him.

My advice to anyone starting a pop culture (films, games, lit, whatever) podcast that wants to stand apart from the pack: Like the thing you talk about. Talk about what you like in it. Criticism is good and valid, but people type "X-Men" into the podcast search bar because they love X-Men.

Little known Bible fact: The earliest preserved greek manuscripts of the Gospel of Luke include instructions to the reader after each mention of the Holy Ghost, to grab the nearest person and yell "Boo!"

Superman could whoop Holden Caulfield, Beneatha Younger, and Edmond Dantes all at once, with plenty of time left to find the white whale before Ahab. He could shoot the ghost of Hamlet's dad with heat vision. He could put Tom Robinson in jail on the moon.

Alien 1: "Shall we announce our arrival to the humans?" Alien 2: "Wait, wait... *stifling laugh* Let's only tell some of them."

A FATHERS DAY THREAD: Hey everybody whose dad is not in the picture for one reason or another: I am right there with you. My dad died in 2011. We weren't estranged, but he was such a distant figure in my life that not a lot has changed in our relationship.
