We go all the way back to 1995 to talk about the stylish Hackers. Hack the planet, man!

Well. . . have you? We get together to talk about and - of course - riff on what's made us happy this Thankful Season

Note: sadly, after quoting from it, I completely forgot to mention the title of the essay (link to follow): The Claims of Close Reading by Johanna Winant

We discuss Zach Creggers' Weapons (2025). Part parental nightmare, part (sub)urban legend, and very unnerving.

What if was Conan the Barbarian. . .s? And both of him were lunkheads? We discuss this fascinating approach in this one

Pete returns to chat about this and that during that finest time of year

We cover both the Washington Irving story and Tim Burton's 1999 adaptation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - a story about the ghost of a Highlander terrorizing a small community

Imagine if you will, Meet Dave (2008) but if "Dave" was actually called Barry, lived in South Africa, and did a lot of drugs

Who knows what evil lurks under Alec Baldwin's prosthetic nose? Beats me, but we certainly talk a lot about The Shadow on this final (for now) Pulpside episode

This time around, we dig into the pulpy origins of one paranormal investigator by the name of Hellboy

NOTE: We had some issues with the audio on this one, so please bear with us (and with many thanks to our sound wizard, Adam)

This time around we talk about The Rocketeer (1991), a movie that asserts that a jetpack future can be scary. . . if it's not in service to the old Stars and Stripes, that is!
