I'm excited about this first episode of 2026. It's been in the making for a long time. I knew what I wanted to say, but not exactly how I wanted to say it. Now it's here: a comparison between The Running Man movies and the novel that inspired them. #therunningman

One of my earliest forays into cinematic anime and my introduction to "Fan Service" was #VampireHunterD. He strolls into town, kills vamps with his ridiculously long sword, then leaves town. What's not to love?

Fuck ICE.
Fuck Trump.
Fuck everyone who voted for this, who continues to support it and who remain silent. Y'all can stay the fuck away from me because I have no respect for you and your cowardice and your bullshit, you fucking bootlickers. Get fucked.

Do you think the driver of the Planters Nutmobile has ever been in an accident?

It would be fun to call Planters and report, “I just busted a nut.”

A lot of years were supposed to be “my year.”

Some were. Most were lessons.

Every crossed-out year still mattered.
2026 feels focused. Ready.
Happy New Year.

Happy New Year! It's been a challenge for many people for various reasons. Hopefully, we will come together and put right what once went wrong. There's a little of Sam Beckett in all of us!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! How did you spend Christmas? I baked some food and watched some movies with friends & family. One of those was Violent Night with David Harbour. That film was so delightful that I had to talk about it on the show!

Most people know that Jim Carrey became everybody's problem because of how much he hated the makeup he had to wear for How The Grinch Stole Christmas, but did you know that Mariah Carey wrote one of the songs for this film? Find out more this episode!

The scene with Dark Helmet playing with his dolls wasn't scripted. It was envisioned by Mel Brooks and improvised by Rick Moranis. #Spaceballs

Did You Know: Carrie Fisher complained to George Lucas that her costumes in the Star Wars franchise weren't feminine enough. This let to the beloved metal bikini. #StarWars

Did you know: Mark Hamill had to bang his head 16 times on the ceiling of Yoda's hut before director Irvin Kershner was satisfied and that, @mystreamingbubble, Jenn, is back to share her memories of Empire?!? #StarWars

Jenn is a fantastic colleague and it was great having her back on the pod!

And now it's time for our time honored tradition of our annual viewing of the Star Wars Holiday Special. What do you mean that you don't watch it every year? This week I consider why this isn't anybody's favorite holiday special. #TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial

I'm covering a series of Star Wars movies this month and, along with that, it seems that the oft forgotten gem: #HardwareWars should be recognized! May the Farce be with you!!!
November 10, 2025 at 10:42 PM
We've reached 200 EPISODES!!! Huge thanks to Rod & Karen from TBGWT!

By the way, George Lucas showed an early cut of #StarWars to his director friends. All of them, including Brian De Palma predicted failure. Only Stephen Spielberg thought that it would blow the doors off the box office!

Producer Dino De Laurentiis hated the werewolf design, but he was overruled by director Daniel Attias and writer Stephen King.King's. #SilverBullet is a great entry point for the wee tikes just getting into horror!

#ChristopherWalken at cloves of raw garlic before he walked on the set. He didn't say why, but it is suspected that he did it to make his co-stars uncomfortable. He's playing the rebellious Angel of Death in the 1995 cult classic #TheProphecy after all.

One of the things that I forgot to mention when I recorded this episode was the fantastic musical score by Danny Elfman. Without exaggeration I believe that the #Beetlejuice soundtrack was one of the best compositions of music for a film ever written and performed!
