Possum A-ko

They handed Jordan Peele a blockbuster budget exactly once and he immediately made a movie about an evil sand dollar

Baron Ashura in the Hongkong English subtitles of Mazinger Z saying, "increase the soup" unsure of what the Japanese must have been

me whenever I grab a can of soup at the grocery store:

Someone on Twitter said it best. The reason why AI is resonating with boomers, Gen X and elder millennials so hard is because they want to feel like they are still on the cutting edge of something.

70.) They Live (1988)

Great movie but terrible that John Carpenter's rage at both the destructive Reagan administration and the peers of his generation who sold out to get a bigger slice of the pie remains even more prescient today more so than in 1988.

69.) my bloody valentine - m b v

The record that revived shoegaze, even if we didn't know it at the time. Has that great balance between dreamy pop rhythms and the harshest noise. Warm fuzzy static.

Come hang out with me :)

See you then!

Yeah, I was there on /co/ at ground zero. I don't need a documentary telling me about something I already lived and breathed.

I met Khary Payton, Drebins’ voice actor at a con and someone had asked about how it was working on MGS4, if there was any standout moments to him he remembered.

He then began to describe being given Laughing Octopus’s backstory and genuinely thought he was being pranked.

Ain't that the truth

there's a water drought in echo

god forbid women create silent drape runners and age regress

Elsie the Borden Cow in a decidedly risque pinup pose, exposing a bit of her rump, back, and underarm. She's holding up a big sign that says MENU and looking happily over her shoulder at you. Text reads "Featuring Borden's Ice Cream."

since everyone is talking about my wife Elise the Borden Cow again, here's a high quality pic of my favorite Elsie art, from my personal archive

right on sis, you don't need to tuck for these fools

Deathstalker 2025 film poster featuring the titular hero with a sword

Deathstalker points a sword at someone

An assassin in bandages and a magic crystal eye aims a chain blade at the heroes

Two stop motion skeletons duke it out in a sword battle the one on the left looks just like Spinal from Killer Instinct

Deathstalker (2025) - Screened for this week's Movie Night

One of the best Sword & Socery films. This & Psycho Goreman (2020) are 2 of the best Western tokusatsu productions out there, with excellent practical effects, squibs, comedy & choreography to boot. Great with friends. Produced by Slash!

68.) Deathstalker (2025)

Red's movie night

This film embraces the cheese that comes with remaking a Roger Corman movie from the 80s with such sincerity and goopy gore effects that it becomes something special. It's like Xena: Warrior Princess meets Korgoth of Barbaria.

67.) Papa Roach - Infestation

The mixture of nu metal and pop punk makes this a dangerous combo of music I loved when I was 11.

66.) Roxy Music - Avalon

The birth of sophisti-pop. Real classy 80s music.

YOU - Suffering will only make me stronger.

ENDURANCE - It's probably this way of thinking that got you where you are.

I do like the trivia that Miami Vice got canceled in January of 1990. Its like they realized that show had a hard cut-off date of relevance.

Bonus.

Found this piece Osamu Tezuka drew and something tells me he had some professional jealousy towards the Ultraman series.

Month of Black music to celebrate Black History Month

I miss the Whispers. They started off as a soft R&B quintet that mainly did 60s style love songs.

RIP Walter Scott.

Been watching Season 3 of The Sopranos this month and it sure was something to discover that the episode where Tony's mom dies is the same episode where he has a panic attack after seeing a box of Uncle Ben's Rice.
