SHELVED BY GENRE has completed the second half of THE SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING, in which Alan Moore & Co expand the character's mythology, making some truly baffling and ill-advised choices but also giving us some of the coolest-looking Swamp Things ever put on paper. rangedtouch.com/2025/10/10/s...

I ended up liking this movie on rewatch more than I thought I would, but mostly because the final minute or so (which I had forgotten) totally got my ass

There's a SBG Bonus ep today, with a movie as beloved (?) as it is reviled (??), the freewheeling Bush-era adaptation of V FOR VENDETTA: www.patreon.com/posts/shelve...

Big thanks to Jacob for dropping by GSSB this month! Sorry to miss it, as unfortunately I am recovering in the virtual hospital from a virtual trucking accident, but I am working tirelessly to heal my virtual bones and manage the virtual lawsuits so as to be back in your ears as soon as possible.

This month's GAME STUDIES STUDY BUDDIES is a little bit of a swerve. @ckunzelman.bsky.social talks to @jacobgeller.com about YouTube essaying and how it intersects with knowledge production! rangedtouch.com/2025/09/30/8...

Today on SHELVED BY GENRE we continue our Alan Moore unit by talking about the first three books of SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING and we also talk about how this guy sounds like Jiminy Cricket. rangedtouch.com/2025/09/26/s...

the genius of Alan Moore on full display

al it takes is one person saying balls to change the world

yes it is

Beavis and Butthead are in the scene where the girl says "bollocks" in V for Vendetta. Butthead says balls instead.

We asked and Chicoblue from the discord delivered. We present this for you to witness:

Our Moore unit is off and running now that we’ve completed V for Vendetta, a comic I forgot so much about because the film had taken its place in my mind. Much more Moore-y, largely I think for the better. More than that, it’s also so much more direct about what contemporary fascism would look like.

the soil of a man's heart is hard as fuck, louis

Finally ranged touch is taking down the smug faux-intellectualism of C is for Cookie

V for Vendetta is nice because it doesn't pretend vendetta is the only word that starts with V and actually tells you about a bunch of the others

The cabaret is leaving town--SHELVED BY GENRE today discusses the last book of V FOR VENDETTA, in which everything sort of wraps up, and we wonder which debonair antiheroes might be our next object of fixation: rangedtouch.com/2025/09/12/v...

The Kennedy book is a fun romp and way weirder than it needs to be. It's a crime story pretending to be a time travel story. The first third is a sequel to IT and the last eighth is a Dark Tower epilogue. I don't know how anyone who hasn't spent their life reading Stephen King makes sense of it.

Halloweentown, the Disney Channel Original Movie starring Debbie Reynolds!

Meanwhile on Patreon, our Bonus Episode for this month covers the TV miniseries adaptation of 11/22/63, which features some incredible performances and interesting changes, and also one of the worst performances we've seen in a King adaptation, or maybe anything! www.patreon.com/posts/just-k...

JUST KING THINGS heads to the local diner to discuss one high school teacher's mission to go back in time and teach more high school, and also get a girlfriend, learn how microphones work, and if he has time, stop the Kennedy assassination. It's all here in 11/22/63: rangedtouch.com/2025/09/08/1...

It's a VERY special episode of GAME STUDIES STUDY BUDDIES, as we conclude The Summer of Simulation with a special VIDEO-EPISODE concerning our thoughts and adventures on the simulated roads of a simulated America with AMERICAN TRUCK SIMULATOR. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1n8...

This week it's a Shelved By Genre bonus ep, and Patreon supports can hear us talk about one of V for Vendetta's key influences, the absurd, campy, and immaculate revenge flick THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES: www.patreon.com/posts/138200...

I will play this game again and record it if they add Indiana. I promise. I will take you all on a Tour

A new unit begins today on SHELVED BY GENRE, now covering selected works of Alan Moore. We kick things off with a long chat on the first two books of V FOR VENDETTA, making time to offer up some of our trademark earthshaking reinterpretations of the classics: rangedtouch.com/2025/08/29/v...

My wife's cousins once took an hour on his birthday (December 26th) setting up a scenario where my father-in-law, a long-haul trucker for five years, could play this game. He wound up watching them play because he refused to really get his truck going saying he had too many safety checks left to do

this is cmrn -- I dont think it is remotely that simple given that that's setup and then immediately discarded literally in the next sentence -- it is attempting to be more disturbing, more hellish, more purgatorial than a simple explanation imo (esp given how King has done that in a few stories)
