TIL that Bluesky mutual @annamcanallen.com runs the Bonanas Discord. Friends? I gasped audibly.

I bailed on The Mandalorian mid-Season Three, but the poster for the movie promises four Babu Frihks and they totally got me back.

New podcast! There’s a lot of talk about recent TV, the possibility that Prey is the best Predator movie, and how Drive is rad but also only the third best Transporter movie. fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-21...

Absolute Halloween bonanza over at @cbbworld.bsky.social! It’s all great but I love that two of the funniest people in the world have to watch a Saw every year.

Surely there must be a better name for a Simpsons trivia night.

Happened IRL to me today! Went for a walk and saw the UPS truck knowing there was a package I needed to sign for. I feel like the driver owed me a high-five.

Visiting Chicago in a couple of weeks - what should
I do / where should I eat? I go a couple times a year and I want to mix it up!

Yeah, the man hosted a talk show for decades. You can’t really replicate that! I like most of the Headgum celebs, but their core competency is not “making engaging content by talking to people”. It sounds like a bad situation and I’m glad the Doughboys talk about it.

They did a bunch of celebrity shows. Rachel Bilson, David Cross, Wayne Brady, Tony Hale and Kristen Schaal, Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney - they were trying to get somebody to buy them out like Sirius did with Earwolf. And now the Doughboys are recording in an empty building because it didn’t work.

Oh, no! The on-mic (and off-mic) talent are not the problem. It’s greedy execs. Earwolf made a ton of money off of Conan and sacrificed everybody else, and Headgum ownership was clearly trying to make a celebrity podcast happen the same way.

Amir is probably the Adam Sachs, somebody they make fun of on Hollywood Handbook whose name I can’t pull is the Colin Anderson, and maybe there are only two people. I feel like somebody else used to get mentioned in the Earwolf sting, and he’s the Jake.

Podcast minutiae: it’s fascinating to watch Headgum follow the Earwolf trajectory but faster and stupider. They wanted the “3 people get really rich at the expense of everybody else” model but those three people turned out to be complete dipshits.

New podcast! Taking a look at things I’m excited about in the next two months including Pluribus, Fallout, sequels and more! Plus, Edge of Tomorrow rules! fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-21...

New podcast! I watch the premiere of The Chair Company, the finale of Peacemaker and also Predators. Which was not directed by Robert Rodriguez no matter how much you remember that being the case. fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-21...

Doubling down on “what’s that movie about the Conclave?” is maybe the new greatest Lily Sullivan moment of all time.

I don’t want to criticize OUT Magazine but Peacemaker has been explicitly bisexual for two seasons and arguably a movie.

This moment > One Battle After Another (and I LOVE OBAA)

New podcast! I try to sort out One Battle After Another and present the history of Stilt-Man. Also, Predator 2 leads me to a Quibi version of The Fugitive. fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-21...

Trying and failing to discreetly take a picture of my Peacemaker shirt. My outfit is sending the message that I would like to talk about Peacemaker.

I’m really enjoying the new season of Taskmaster even though there aren’t any contestants in my two favorite categories: Little Shit and Absolute Maniac. (Little Shits: Mae Martin and James Acaster. Absolute Maniacs: Bob Mortimer and Jason Mantzoukas.)

New podcast! We’re talking Slow Horses, The Lowdown, Peacemaker, and a Predator rewatch. Plus, I get my CBB World renewal notice during the record. It’s gripping! fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-21...

You’ve got this!

It’s going to be funny when the Amelia Earhart files also name Trump as a pedophile.

The @cbbworld.bsky.social lineup from @figurecollections.bsky.social is growing! Italiano Jones is the tallest figure in It’ly and Entre Peee Neur is, appropriately, packaged inside a rectangle atop a larger rectangle.

New podcast! Things are a nightmare so I talked about some things that are cutting through the murk to make me happy. fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-20...

Inscrutable podcast merch! If I get even a flicker of recognition from anybody, we’re soulmates.

In principle I support a Disney boycott. But if you’re, say, writing a book about Daredevil, there are some logistical issues with cutting off access to Daredevil material. Serious question: what charities should I donate to to offset my Disney+ and Marvel Unlimited subscriptions?

Finally, a ray of sunshine!

New podcast! I am disappointed in a sequel to a perfect movie and trying desperately not to think about the outside world or my own feelings! fedtalks.podbean.com/e/episode-20...

If the Doughboys don’t have Scott Aukerman and Sprague the Whisperer on the show to cover TMNT pizza, I will never listen to the show again.
