Wish I knew what I was reading him in that first pic. We were undoubtedly watching TV in that second pic. Probably He-Man. He loved He-Man.

My sister sent me the slideshow they did for my nephew's service. These two photos of us from over forty years ago honestly punched me in the gut. We were only a few years apart in age and we were basically raised together until he was seven. Fuck cancer.

Why do so many pharmaceutical commercials involve people singing and dancing in the street? I don't wanna take your drug if it's gonna make me act a fool in public.

I was interested in seeing it and then I heard the phrase that always makes me back away slowly: musical numbers.

It's a freakin' gorgeous day out there in Chicago, but between the cursed day spent at the airport on Friday, marinating in the sadness of a FaceTime funeral, and daylight saving time overnight/insomnia, all I wanna do is nap on the couch all day.

The people who live downstairs from me have a friend over sometimes who brings their dog along with them. When they leave to go wherever, they leave the dog behind and the poor things howls the entire time they're gone. It's starting to drive me insane.

Take two happening tonight. Doing half split yellow peas and half split chickpeas (not to mention soaking them longer) to vary the texture/flavor a bit. Gonna hit lighter on the coconut and up the heat a little.

Listen, if this and the four specials are it (which I don't believe to be the case), he got a proper send off, which he never got at the The Movie Channel or TNT. We should all be so lucky. @themutantfam.bsky.social #TheLastDriveIn

If I had ever come across Joe Spinell in real life and he wasn't covered in sweat, I don't think I would have recognized him. #TheLastDriveIn @themutantfam.bsky.social

Man, I've only seen this movie on a crappy VHS copy from the '80s. I can't believe how good it looks. #TheLastDriveIn @themutantfam.bsky.social

I always appreciate a good red meat scene. Figure that the odds of at least one more vegetarian being created just increased.

Anyone else find it interesting that last month they showed HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL and this month they're showing MESSIAH OF EVIL? Two of the four films that Elvira showed on her Shudder special.

Gonna say that this is maybe the best movie shown on the show. Not even joking. #TheLastDriveIn @themutantfam.bsky.social

Important to remember that there are still four more specials on Shudder and he's very very likely switching to another service after that. Don't be too mournful, folks. This isn't the end. #TheLastDriveIn @themutantfam.bsky.social

Even if it was, all good things end. Enjoy it while you have it.

Thanks. I honestly said my goodbyes in December when I visited. Would’ve been nice to be there for my sisters and his kids, but not the end of the world.
