Fear CodedA Shadow in the Foreground (The Exorcist - 1973) with Alyssa GrayWhen joined by Alyssa Gray of the Silver Scream podcast, we couldn't help but to think that it's "an excellent day for an exorcism" as we cover the 1973 religious horror tentpole film, The Exorcist, directed by William Friedkin and adapted for the screen by William Peter Blatty, based on his own novel.Hot take: this is a good movie, and to support that thesis, we'll look at how the cosmic stakes of good versus evil are played across the small cast of characters.

No, I'm not talking about the character who influenced Halloween costumes everywhere in 2016, the demon Valak, but instead the horror unleashed is the 2018 film, The Nun, directed by Corin Hardy. We talk about the film's ability to skillfully dodge interesting subplots to provide more time for zombie nuns who are hard to see in unlit scenes.

Tune your television sets to Exposition in the Morning and head back to the exploits of zombies, cats, dogs, and cat-people on the sort of misnamed Zombie Island (it's really more of a peninsula).

The book focuses on Rieve's backstory and gives more color to the characters in the game. Plus it...weirdly serves as an instruction manual to online hero shooters and objective based games?

In this very messy installment of the Six Forgotten Warriors saga, Spidey teams up with aged WWII heroes to stop the Insidious Six and learns to appreciate history as Captain America and Red Skull make their return. We talk about John Semper’s reinvention of the historic Black Marvel as a Black man in a way that echoes the Watchmen TV series, a reunion of actors of The Terminator, and how Kingpin is the hottest he’s ever been.

We may not end up ghosts forever, but we do talk about Sinjin traps, cute 90s lesbian romance AU, and weirdly prescient plague doctor ghosts.

In this 1940s throwback, we get backstory on a WWII-era team of superheroes pulled out of Timely comics who fight alongside Captain America, complete with collectible statues that Kingpin, the Insidious Six, and Spidey are all after. We discuss how the preceding spy story makes yet another Parker Family Secret redundant, how time constraints limited this story, and realize that we simply cannot do math.

Skreeonk! A Godzilla Movie MarathonInvasion of Astro-Monster (1965)Godzilla goes to spaaaace! In a movie that's way more alien invasion space opera than kaiju, the hilariously-dressed Xiliens from Planet X introduce us to Monster Zero (aka Ghidorah) and get Earth wrapped in a convoluted plot involving trapping sleepy Godzilla and Rodan in bubbles. We talk the first American-Japanese co-production for Toho -- which includes a major role for Rebel Without a Cause's Nick Adams and a complex English/Japanese language shoot -- along with space lady clones, a backslide in character dynamics, and of course, Godzilla's famous little dance and its surprisingly important ramifications.

Skreeonk! A Godzilla Movie MarathonGhidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964)It's Hot Ghidorah Summer, and the planet-destroying space dragon king has made his entrance! This is the movie where everything changes: it's cosmic, it's an Avengers-style team-up among Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan, and perhaps most importantly, it's the moment Godzilla becomes a hero to cheer for. We talk about this film's shift in philosophy and Ishirō Honda's complicated feelings, along with a Biollante-esque plot that includes psychic prophecies, a Venusian spirit possessing a princess, assassins, and Hiroshi Koizumi being the hottest man to ever rock a yellow raincoat and bucket hat.

Skreeonk! A Godzilla Movie MarathonGodzilla (1954)Our kaiju journey begins, of course, with the very first—Ishirō Honda's influential classic, a harrowing horror film unlike any Godzilla movie that comes after. We dig into the historical context and the filmmakers' own experiences with war, the suit design and innovative effects that still hold up to this day, Akira Ifukube's legendary score, and the human characters who bring it all together.

Otto seeks redemption and a super-science device gets stolen by Wild Pack in the REAL season premiere of the 2017 Spider-Man. But we get hung up on this episode’s messy historical science “facts”, Peter’s money issues coupled with the lack of Harry, the continued underuse of Miles, and what feels like the show steering in a more classical Spider-Man direction that has us conflicted!
We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 2: “Take Two”.

Are You My Mother?Peggy Hill - King of the HillAlong with guest Jim Banks from the Square Roots Podcast, this episode of the podcast we find ourselves in Dallas/Fort Worth suburb amalgamation Arlen, Texas talking about the bespoke beehive queen, Peggy Hill, mother to Bobby and wife to conservative stuck-in-his-ways, Hank, in King of the Hill in the episode "Square Peg."
We discuss the complicated politics and gender dynamics of sex education, how an impish Dale may come across a little more malevolently in today's world, and the unintended consequences of technological development in animal husbandry.
Along the way, we talk about disappointing mot...2023-10-131h 16

A Spider-Man Podcast#204: “How I Thwipped My Summer Vacation”We begin the second season of the 2017 Spider-Man series with less of a season premiere and more of an interlude episode made up of low-stakes vignettes about summer! While Peter tries (and fails) to have a successful beach day, baseball game, concert, and camping trip, we dig into the shift in showrunners – and how that may have affected this episode’s unexpected Daily Bugle ending.

A Spider-Man Podcast#201: “The Origin of Iceman” (with Dr. Christopher Roman)Our amazing friends have joined us for this three-episode season of Amazing Friends origin stories! Dr. Christopher Roman, author of Queering Wolverine in Comics and Fan Fiction: A Fastball Special, brings his background as a professor specializing in comics studies and queer theory to analyze this depiction of one of the gayest X-Men – Iceman! And while there’s plenty of queerness to pull from Bobby’s coming out story (told through a futuristic mind probe…for some reason) it’s also split with a Videoman return that doesn’t quite give Iceman his due.
