🚨New Episode!🚨 Ep. 194: Vengeance of the Dead (2001) w/ Dan McCoy We finish out our @flophousepodcast.com collaboration month w/ an odd regional, rural curio. It’s kind of an interesting little film; lots of leering grandpas and lots of immolation. Check it out! linktr.ee/puppetmaster...

Very glad I signed up to the Deathbed newsletter - reading @dankmccoy.bsky.social's short story Sheep this morning was a fun, spooky way to start the day, with some killer lines - "He’d tried memory foam, and foam he was sure couldn’t pick him out in a line-up." deathbed.ghost.io/sheep/

Okay, press. Good start. Now start showing these kind of balls when you're not personally being threatened.

Episode #491 – Standing Ovation
We say goodbye to Smalltember with a true bad movie jewel (thanks to Alonso Duralde for recommending it) — the kid/tween/teen musical comedy STANDING OVATION, one of the few movies…

Puzzling over a vanity license plate that said IDEALGY. Misspelled "ideology?" Or does it mean "ideal guy?" Because that's factually incorrect. No ideal guy has a vanity license plate that says IDEALGY.

@hotdogsladies.bsky.social I would never in a billion years have interpreted "Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a viking!" the way you did/claimed is the obvious and most common interpretation.Totally take it the other way @siracusa.social mentioned.

@alisonwillmore.bsky.social Belatedly listened to your The End of Oak Street episode and enjoyed your explanation of the Midwestern delicacy of the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. I pre-described it to her, but my NYer wife was STILL bafflee when she saw one on our 1st visit to my home turf (Central IL).

Saw a trailer for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping and thought "Wow, that's an AMAZING cast for a movie I just can't imagine they could find any way to make narratively compelling."

All Jem episodes exist on a spectrum from mild insanity to total bonkos wackadooville. This episode (Hollywood Jem: Part One) is closer to the latter, and it's amazing.

It's fortunate I'm not constantly wandering into major violent conspiracies like Reacher. (1) much smaller (2) no applicable skills (3) usually tired (4) would rather not

Doctor: The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go see him. That should cheer you up. Patient: But doctor, I *am* Pagliacci! (removes false mustache) I just wanted to make sure you were prescribing me as a depression cure, like our deal. (holsters hidden gun) Congrats doc. You passed.

You've heard it already, but if somehow you *haven't* (and if my opinion carries any sway with you) -- Furious (on Hulu) is very good.

Was watching Reacher and saw the episode's director was Sam Hill, and I said, "Who the Sam Hill directed this?!" out loud to the otherwise empty room, so I'm possibly the most "dad" person who doesn't have children.

LA listeners! Dan occasionally contributes to The Novelizers, a delightful podcast where comedy writers "novelize" big Hollywood movies, and the results are read by comics/actors. They're doing a live show on August 27, where a Dan chapter will be read by the great Andy Daly. Go if you can!

Seems like this likely has more to do with a Jem series getting greenlit at Amazon. But I'll steal some credit. www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/comedy/b...

there is literally no amount of caveats or careful wording that will protect you from stupidity or bad faith, so you might as well say things straightforwardly and strongly to begin with.
