So what’s going on? Oh, lots of things. Hereabouts, I talk at random about The Writing Life, What’s Worth Watching, Audio Content I Love (aka Listen Up), and good old-fashioned News of the Weird.
You can also Click Here and buy any of my stuff that’s currently available (and I offer it when I can through bookshop.org, at the same price as Amazon, that also shares its money with independent bookstores around the country. Check it out. What’s more, the ebooks and audio products I offer I sell from here, downloaded directly to you, so I don’t have to split anything with Big Daddy Bezos or anyone else. I’m greedy that way.
Regardless: welcome aboard, check back often, follow me on the socials like IG and BlueSky (at this point), and stay in touch!

Talking Scared, the best damn interview show of horror writers around.
There are plenty, plenty of horror podcasts out there, good and bad and mostly boring – especially boring for people who have been watching and reading horror for a long time. In most cases, jaded old horror fans will come to feel as if they’re waiting for the hosts...

Rebel Moon was supposed to be Zack Snyder’s break away from superhero movies. But it took less than three-quarters of an hour to see that there is nothing new, innovative, or even remotely encouraging here. It’s yet another Snyder imitation of someone else’s work, served up (yet again) on lukewarm toast. This time, however, it’s not George Romero or Frank Miller of DC Comics; it’s an uncredited but undeniable knockoff of Star Wars.

Nathan Fielder’s The Curse is nothing like what you’d expect. But what is it?
You know, I really hadn’t planned on talking about The Curse … not until I saw the last episode and now, I … I have to… I mean … what the hell? You know, I’ve never been a big fan of the ‘comedy of discomfort,” all the way back to Andy Kaufman and for that matter Don...

Marvel’s Echo is a ground-level, culturally complex superhero story (sort of)
Marvel's Echo, available on Disney+ and Hulu, is a major re-telling of a B-List Daredevil character, in a disorganized, risky and ultimately admirable but not completely successful attempt at telling a ‘deeper’ story despite the superhero genre. It’s far from perfect,...
