After Lunch

Continuing their year of Stephen King novels, Michael and Jess dig deep into the Pet Sematary. We talk mostly about the book itself, but also a little about the '89 movie, its sequel Pet Sematary Two, the 2019 remake, and the 2023 prequel Pet Sematary: Bloodlines.

Michael, Evan, Pax, and Rob talk about beans, Disclosure Day, Mandalorian and Grogu, Masters of the Universe, Supergirl, opera, Spider-Noir, touring Hawaiʻi, and the 007: First Light video game.

Rob, Michael, Evan, and Pax talk about Supergirl by Sophie Campbell, the TV show After Life, artificial intelligence, and Wrestle Heist by Kyle Starks. And our friend Jacob Bean-Watson stops by to chat about meeting celebrities and the difference between Action and Adventure.

Our Predator series continues as Pax, Rob, and Michael talk about the 2025 animated anthology (but not really an anthology) feature, Predator: Killer of Killers.

Michael and Jess continue their year-long exploration of Stephen King with the 1983 novella, Cycle of the Werewolf, illustrated by Bernie Wrightson. We talk about favorite characters, scariest moments, and of course the 1985 movie adaptation, Silver Bullet.

Michael and Rob welcome the amazing Chris Schweizer who's currently serializing his new swashbuckling fantasy comic Outlaw's Apprentice. We talk about the comic and its inspirations, but also our favorite swashbucklers in that time-honored tradition of putting them into brackets and voting on them.

Pax, Rob, Michael, and Evan return to the lounge to talk about hitchhiking, Mortal Kombat II, The Devil Wears Prada 2, giving money to people on the street, music videos, Agatha Christie's Seven Dials, Rob's Disney cruise, Hacks, and Beethoven's 6th.

The After Lunch Irregulars (Jacob, Michael, Rob, and Pax) reconvene for a double episode, starting with an in-depth, spoiler-filled discussion of Guy Ritchie's Young Sherlock. If you're not ready for those spoilers yet though, skip ahead an hour to hear us talk about Disney's Holmes homage, The Great Mouse Detective!

Evan is back in the lounge! Joining Pax, Rob, and Michael to talk about Mansfield Park by Jane Austen, an identity crossroads, Kevin Smith writing Green Arrow, King Sorrow by Joe Hill, and ever so much more.
