HBO's "True Detective" was a stunner for me when it originally aired. College friend, Caleb Armstrong, joined me back in March to chat about the things we loved so much, from its tone to its lead actors to its influences.

Now, one year later, ERIC SIPPLE, joins me for a re-evaluation. This past week, Eric watched the show for the first time, and unfortunately, it was quite bittersweet. Having cooled on it myself during a recent rewatch, while maintaining a love for a lot of its elements, Eric and I jump into discussing the show with a more critical eye. We break down its serial killer plot shortcomings, how it compares to other shows in the genre, the flaws with its characterizations, its showrunners and its mind-numbingly stupid antagonist. We touch on Twin Peaks, Banshee, and Terrence Malick as well.

Enjoy!

Eric Sipple joins me again this year to dive into the universe of THE THING. Last year, we tackled John Carpenter's 1982 film. This year, we're tackling THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD (1951) and THE THING (2011). Influences, prequels and social agendas ahoy! We touch on FX, masculinity in the films and explore whether either of these films hold a benchmark in the Horror/Sci-Fi genres. Another great talk with Eric!

From the back of the book:

For decades, Carl Cook fought crime in the city of New Caliburn as the superhero Piecemaker. With the power to disassemble most everything around him, Carl was very good at taking things apart; less so at putting them back together. One divorce and an alienated daughter later, he realized the toll heroing had taken. In an attempt to move on and take charge of his life, Carl hung up the cape and opened Cook's Deli. But things are never that simple in the superhero capital of the world. Cook's Deli has a front-row seat to the city's superpowered exploits, from the exciting to the bizarre. A former sidekick discovers just how hard life is without a hero, a psychic rat goes on the warpath for another slice of rye, a D-list villain plots his revenge...these are just some of the adventures going on right in front of the deli counter. Carl may change the world, even more than he did in costume. Only now he does it one cold cut at a time. In THE DELI COUNTER OF JUSTICE, you'll explore the world in and around Cook's Deli with nine stories and poems written by Kitty Chandler,

The lovely ladies of the Beacon Hills After Dark podcast - Sticky Keys (Stacey), Megatron (Meg) & Momo (Monique) - join me to discuss their love/hate relationship with MTV's "Teen Wolf." The conversation then turns to the more serious topic of diversity in media, particularly persons of color in television. We touch on racial & gender inequality and whether there is a need to establish P.O.C. identity in the medium.
