I'm going to hang this up on my fridge! Best review ever! @jeffschmidt.bsky.social, thanks again for the opportunity to share this grimy, gunky, gross story on Ominous Thrill (available to listen to wherever you get your podcasts; my episode is called Extraction! Direct link in the comments.). 😈🤢

So… instead of an amazing Mandy Musical starring Miley Cyrus, we’ll get a Panos directed Miley Cyrus music video?

Totally here for it. 😝

Did you enjoy The Substance? Or The Outside from Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities?

For a dose of gross beauty horror, listen to Extraction! It has it all: black market beauty products, a monstrous zit, mommy issues, and incredible sound design. 😈

Wah wah - Bought tickets to see the Fifth Element in theater for tonight - but was refunded a few weeks ago because the theater closed. Fandango app didn’t get the memo.

I'm now entering the great lockdown-era cocktail experiment pics from my "other place" data download. This is by far the tastiest Bloody Mary ever. We cribbed it while in NOLA in 2018. The secret is the Cajun Bait seasoning and Truff hot sauce.

10 years ago at Nobu by Petco Park during a Padres game. Place was empty, so the Sushi chef made me custom roll after custom roll with very pricey Sake and drained my bank account. I then stumbled over to "Drunkin Donuts" and washed all that pretension down with bourbon donut holes. Yes. I did.

With holiday gift-giving on people's minds, might I suggest this gem for your friendly Sound Designer and/or Audio Dramatist? 🍷

Poking through all my data downloaded from the place that shant be named and found this tasty pic of the Cheddar Goblin from Mandy. Cheddar Goblin deserves a spin-off.
