HOO BOY! We’re back with a MODREN FILM, and it’s a doozy. The del Toro-produced, Scott Cooper-directed Native American(?) inspired(???) adaptation(!?!?!) of Nick Antosca’s short story(???!??!?!) that throws in a bunch of alcoholism, child abuse, Indigenous lore, and disjointed plotting that all adds up to a whole bunch of, well, BAD WORDS. It’s “Antlers!”

Plus: Care Bears! Also: Rigor Mortis is NO JOKE!

Willow is not here, so I’m all alone. And I’m talking about Nick Antosca’s brilliant short story “The Quiet Boy” which you can read right here! It’s an amazing piece of horror fiction that really affected me a lot when I first rad it and continues to really hit me in the ol’ man heart. It’s good stuff!

Man, we’re really bad at doing a podcast. Anyways, we’re back again with “Time Bandits!” It’s a children’s movie made by a terrible man who thinks he’s the best filmmaker and storyteller in the world. Is he? No. He’s pretty good at it though. “Time Bandits!”
