And then there's the waste of time that is Hush 2. It is awful and they couldn't even be bothered to finish it.

I knew this day was coming as soon as Marvel signed that deal with Webtoon. They're handing Marvel Unlimited over to them and we're left with a lot of uncertainty at the moment as Marvel keeps on getting enshittified. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I'm just curious how many Viking catalogs you still get in the mail each week. We went on a river cruise exactly 1 year ago and are still getting multiple catalogs every month. We got 3 today. @spidey004.bsky.social

I started a new book today you may be interested in. It's called Gouged by Lindsay Owens. It's about how the internet is supercharging things like price fixing and price gouging. Super interesting so far. @bizarrojimmyolsen.bsky.social

Did I hear Pax mention in the Lounge that you guys are doing Amityville Horror? Super excited for that one. It's not far from my house. @michaelmay.bsky.social @paxholley.com @shawnrobare.com

You mentioned Carmilla in this week's episode. Not sure if you're aware but Dark Horse did a series of comics on her written by Amy Chu. I just happened to check them out from the library this week. @crestwoodhouse.bsky.social

I also have a pencil lead in my body. I tripped over a book bag in 7th grade and had a sharpened pencil break off in my leg in the calf. Because I was a middle schooler I sat there in quiet pain for the rest of school. It was deep so I just left it. It's still there. @afterlunch.bsky.social

I know you guys aren't Lego people but there's a new Star Trek Lego set that I thought you'd appreciate. Plus the reviewer mispronounces all their names which is hilarious. Kids these days. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsB1... @michaelmay.bsky.social @paxholley.com @spidey004.bsky.social

Is THIS The LEGO Star Trek Set You Expected?

Finally finished your last podcast episode. Wasn't It written during King's cocaine fueled days? That's how I figure THAT scene came about. I mean he directed Maximum Overdrive and has absolutely no memory of it. @michaelmay.bsky.social @jesstures.bsky.social

Not sure if you went back to see Brand New Day again for the 3rd time yet but if you have a 4DX theater in Buffalo you should see it there. The web swinging was especially fun with your seat swinging along. @spidey004.bsky.social

Not sure if you're aware but Rio Youers also wrote some comics. He adapted the Stephen and Owen King book Sleeping Beauties and he also did Refrigerator Full of Heads for Joe Hill's comic line at DC. It's a sequel to Hill's Basketful of Heads. @spidey004.bsky.social

When you finally give up on Robert Kaniger's Wonder Woman, you should read Grant Morrison's Wonder Woman: Earth One. He toys around with all of the golden age and silver age nonsense and it's interesting. @michaelmay.bsky.social

You guys are killing me (in a good way). I literally just finished the last lounge this morning.

I just want that bookmark.

The Independence Day IRM was a good one. Nice job. Do not watch the sequel. It's fucking terrible. @paxholley.com

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Also, if you ever decide to go back to Hawaii, check out these books by Andrew Doughty. There's one for each island, Maui revealed, Ultimate Kaui Guidebook, etc. It has all of these hidden beaches and waterfalls all over each island. They made our trip awesome. You missed a lot of cool things.

010

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Finally finished this. I think you got the cruise ship special with that luau. We had a pig that had been buried in the beach all day roasting plus poi plus every other Hawaiian delicacy. And all kinds of fire dancers and acrobatics.

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

That book is right up your alley. The singer, Poe, is his sister and she wrote a companion album for it, Haunted. You need to read a physical copy because sometimes you have to turn the book in circles to read it and the footnotes tell a whole different story and the footnotes have footnotes.

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Well, there no Comet so that's a plus. I didn't think Ruthiye was annoying as in the comic either. Lobo serves zero purpose though.

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Heard you talking about Backrooms on Afterlunch. That movie looked completely ripped off of the book House of Leaves if you're ever read that except that House of Leaves is fantastic. @michaelmay.bsky.social

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Supergirl was fine. It sticks pretty closely to the Tom King comic.

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

I was listening to your old Young Guns II podcast. The Christian Slater talk made me realize you guys should tackle Heathers. We watched that movie so many times in high school and I can still quote half the movie. @paxholley.com @shawnrobare.com @shezcrafti.com

Met this guy the last time we were in Hawaii (20 years ago). He was staying at our hotel and I saw him in the lobby getting coffee. All I could say was "It's John Locke!" @paxholley.com

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

At the same race but a different heat, I borrowed his bike because mine was a piece of crap. (He had a Mongoose. I had a Huffy Bandit.) I went over the first hill, completely flipped the bike over and crashed out. That was the extent of my racing career. Said Huffy Bandit.

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

I just went back and listened to your episode of Rad and wanted to share my BMX story. My best friend was in a race, crashed around a turn and someone rode over his head. Thankfully, he was wearing a helmet. But man do I wish we had cell phones. @shawnrobare.com @shezcrafti.com @paxholley.com

I'm sure you got plenty of shitty responses but you are right. Some people (like those 3 pitchers) feel the need to make everything about themselves. Here's to making the world more inclusive.

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

So I finished this and Better Luck Tomorrow is unofficially the first appearance of Han. It's really good if you're a fan of these movies.

Grizzly Adams and Michael May... separated at birth?

BTW, Capwolf is real dumb. If you like Capwolf, PKJ did a miniseries in 2023, Capwolf and the Howling Commandos. I haven't read it though. Also, check out Rick Remender's Punisher run for Frankencastle for dumbest ideas at Marvel. @spidey004.bsky.social

"...with laxatives" At least, that's what we'd say as kids.

As a followup to the Lounge, Green Arrow died in #101 of his comic when his plane blew up in 1995. Superman offered to cut his arm off to save him and instead Ollie detonated the bomb to save Metropolis. So when Kevin Smith brought him back in 2001 fans were excited. @paxholley.com

Please don't squeeze the Charmin.

I like Colossal where she's unwittingly controlling a kaiju on the other side of the world.

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

I agree. BTW, in the story, Norman Pinkus publishes his riddles in his weekly column in the paper as Edward Nygma. Have no idea why you'd add that confusion though.

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

I happened to start Batman: Revolution yesterday and it's 529 pages in hardback. It's real long. @bizarrojimmyolsen.bsky.social It's so great to have Evan back. I missed rolling my eyes.

I'm officially jealous that I didn't think of this 20 years ago.

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

I was actually wondering if you two were married yet on these early episodes. I figured I'd head back to ones I missed at the beginning while I was caught up on the current episodes.

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Roadside Prophets is awesome. Super quirky. It also has a eye-patched John Cusack in it among other notable guest stars shouting "Free food for the poor!" and causing a ruckus.

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Nice. I just listened to the CFC episode of this on Sunday.

120

Chad @spidey9000.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

So I was listening to some old episodes of CFC and thought of a couple of old films that might be cool for you to cover. Freaked with Alex Winter and Keanu teaming up again. Roadside Prophets starring Ad-Rock and John Doe of X. @shezcrafti.com @shawnrobare.com @paxholley.com

I just refuse to use the self-checkout because it's just an extension of enshitification. Businesses want me to do a job they used to have to pay people to do and I refuse to contribute to that.

All of these 70s and 80's King books are so good. Are you going to do any of the anthologies?

BTW, what kind of Peoplesoft development are you doing? I've written some integrations to feed our data into customers' Peoplesoft installations. Same thing with ServiceNow. We'll ingest data from them too for lifecycle management.

@paxholley.com I was listening to your tale of starting a new job and it reminded me of when I started at AmEx. They needed me so soon I had to start on a Friday. Drove from MI to NY the night before. I show up and they don't have a computer for me and told me to read a magazine all day.
