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?

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 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!

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!
