For our next Ani-May-tion month episode, we're joined by the Directors of The Spine of Night, Philip Gelatt and Morgan Galen King to discuss the process of bringing their psychedelic and cosmic horror fantasy feature to the screen.

Our next entry for Ani-May-tion Month is 2021's The Spine of Night. Psychedelic, gritty, weird - and once again for Podside, a special flower becomes very important to the plot.

Ani-May-tion Month continues as we delve into 2003's Animatrix, and the vast potential of The Matrix as a frame for many stories.

To celebrate Gene Wolfe's birthday, we've decided to unlock our second episode of our read-along of The Shadow of the Torturer a day early!

Just as you can't read a Gene Wolfe story, only re-read it, so we hope it goes with podcasts.

May the 4th be with you on this bonus Ani-May-tion Month episode. Join us in our discussion of the Star Wars: Visions anime-inspired anthology.

For our first entry of Ani-May-tion Month, we dive into 1983's Rock & Rule. Post-apocalyptic furries and rock and roll? Absolutely. Iggy Pop, Debbie Harry and Earth, Wind and Fire? Yes, yes and again yes. Join us on our journey from Ohmtown to Nuke York and back again.

Join us as we talk about an introspective take on the zombie apocalypse film, and why it became one of Pete's comfort watches at the beginning of the pandemic.

For our The Shadow of the Torturer post-mortem, Jeremy Greathouse returns to talk about his own experiences reading Gene Wolfe.
