I hadn't seen Ken Russell's The Lair of the White Worm since its initial release when I was in college! Had a blast talking about it with my co-host on this week's Midnight Cinema podcast!

Erik Rodenhiser and I return to Haddonfield, but this time we're taking an ambulance to the most deserted hospital you've ever checked into! We had a blast discussing Halloween II! 😆🎃

Just looked at my Letterboxd stats for 2025 so far, and usually this slot is some silent film or a comedy from the 1930's or even a weird cult horror curio. 😆
I saw this in theaters when I was younger! Don't people remember this?

My hot take is I believe we actually are underestimating how taking away the right to get the Covid vaccine from millions upon millions of Americans is going to land as more and more people figure out that despite paying a fortune for their health insurance they can't get it.

Seriously. I think this is one of those few times where a reporter or public personality does kind of owe it to the public to at least make some type of statement or observation.
Where’s Jake Tapper? Not that I consume CNN.

I have never understood complaining about ads for free things as highly produced and professional as something like Lore.
Not to mention, you can get Lore ad-free at just $3 a month on their Patreon..... $3 a month! www.patreon.com/lorepodcast

Phantasm! It's like floating in and out of a nightmare.
So many iconic moments, one right after another: Death spheres, killer cloaked dwarves, fingers in boxes, demon insects....
We had a blast doing a whole Midnight Cinema episode on it:

We had fun diving into the wild, weird mashup that is Demon Knight! This was the first attempt at a Tales from the Crypt-branded movie and has found a cult following with its cool effects, stacked cast, and Billy Zane chewing all the scenery and props he can find!

We had a blast talking about the John Landis film An American Werewolf in London. It has it all, from Oscar-winning makeup, to indelible nightmares of Nazi Werewolves and Muppets, to Dr. Pepper in the buff.

Before James Gunn was making Superman fly or guarding the galaxy he made a gnarly little horror comedy that sank at the cinema, but lives on through its fandom!

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.”

Serious question for lawyers - what are you supposed to do if people without warrants, badges, ID, and covering their faces attempt to detain you?
Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

What the hell are we supposed to take away from this article? They admit it's proven that there is more bacteria in a double dipped bowl. But then say those bacteria might not be the kind that make you sick. Unless, of course... they are. Then they casually drop that Norovirus can be spread that way
Yes, double-dipping can transmit bacteria and viruses from your mouth to the shared bowl. And yes, in theory, those microorganisms can be spread to other eaters. But in most cases, that might not be as risky as it seems.
