Podside Picnic

We get back together to . . . well, you know

We're joined by Este, of the Altmania podcast, to talk about Holmes & Yoyo. Ever hear about good cop, bad cop? How about not-so-great cop and awkward robot cop?

This time we discuss the Gothic-to-Cosmic Horror pipeline that is FromSoftware's Bloodborne. Writer and editor, John WM Thompson, as well as Worker's Lit podcast comrades, Lenore Olson and Aysha U. Farah join us in fearing the old blood.

This time, we talk about another example of Twohy excellence, The Arrival (1996). Charlie Sheen, our hero, uncovers a nefarious alien conspiracy to change Earth's climate

Twin Cities-area writers Naomi Kritzer, Lydah Morehouse, Marissa Lingen, and J.R. Dawson join us to talk about how the presence of ICE during Operation Metro Surge and beyond has affected them, and how their activism has informed their writing.

Preorder Naomi Kritzer's novella, Obstetrix

Check out J.R.'s book, The Lighthouse at the Edge of the World

Marissa Lingen's novella, A Dubious Clamor is forthcoming from Horned Lark Press; and

Lydah Morehouse's Welcome to Boy.Net is available via Wizard's Tower Press

This time around, we discuss some genre bits and bobs from around the internet.

First up, we talk about Mike Jittlov's The Wizard of Speed and Time, a stop-motion extravaganza.

Then, we discuss Juliana Maité's horror short, Agon. From there, we also cover Antediluvian (Mario Lanzas), Mallet! (Aidan Hughes a.k.a. BRUTE!), and R'ha (Kaleb Lechowski)

Enjoy!

This time, we talk about Mamoru Hosoda's Summer Wars (2009), a wacky almost-cataclysm involving an everything app, a Love Machine, country gentry weirdos, and Japan's second-best math guy

Jacob from Worker's Lit podcast returns - this time to talk about Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Chris and I get together to talk about Phillip K. Dick's original novella and Steven Spielberg's lean, mean actioner that has managed to remain prescient 24 years later.

This time we return to the oeuvre of U.S. mythologist and professional dinner guest, Washington Irving to talk about his most Goof-coded character: Rip Van Winkle
