After Lunch

Michael and Jess talk about Stephen King's novella, Secret Window, Secret Garden, the second story in the Four Past Midnight collection. They also talk briefly about the other three novellas in the collection and quite a bit more about the 2004 movie adaptation Secret Window starring Johnny Depp, John Turturro, Maria Bello, Charles S Dutton, and Timothy Hutton.

Rob, Michael, Evan, and Pax talk about Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Rooster, Marion by Leah Rowan, murder mystery plays, and so much more.

A long book deserves a long conversation and Michael and Jess are here to provide one. We're talking about Stephen King's It: the good, the bad, and the head-scratching.  We also talk about adaptations (ever heard of Woh?) and get into lots of spoilers for the recent Welcome to Derry series (but that's at the very end and easy to avoid if you haven't seen the show yet and want to remain unspoiled)

Michael, Rob, and Pax continue their journey through the Predator movies - and officially add the Alien movies to the project - with Paul WS Anderson's Alien vs Predator, starring Sanaa Lathan, Lance Henriksen, and Raoul Bova.

Pax, Rob, Michael, and Evan talk about infant clowns, Hitchcock movies, The Odyssey, The Other Bennet Sister, and the insane magic of love. And Jacob Bean-Watson stops by to talk about some movies and update us on his meeting Steve Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy.

Evan, Pax, Rob, and Michael talk about becoming cats, British TV, Supergirl comics, contractor caution, and secret identities.

After Lunch Irregulars Michael, Rob, Pax, and Jacob follow Sherlock Holmes into the 1940s for the first of Universal's B-movie takes on the character, Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror. The movie has Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as Holmes and Watson, teaming up with Evelyn Ankers and Reginald Denny to investigate a Nazi propaganda radio program that's demoralizing Britain.

Continuing their year of Stephen King novels, Michael and Jess dig deep into the Pet Sematary. We talk mostly about the book itself, but also a little about the '89 movie, its sequel Pet Sematary Two, the 2019 remake, and the 2023 prequel Pet Sematary: Bloodlines.

Michael, Evan, Pax, and Rob talk about beans, Disclosure Day, Mandalorian and Grogu, Masters of the Universe, Supergirl, opera, Spider-Noir, touring Hawaiʻi, and the 007: First Light video game.

Michael and Rob are joined by Evan Hanson and Shawn Robare to assemble a team of their favorite anthropomorphic animal characters... and then try to craft a story around them. 

Rob, Michael, Evan, and Pax talk about Supergirl by Sophie Campbell, the TV show After Life, artificial intelligence, and Wrestle Heist by Kyle Starks. And our friend Jacob Bean-Watson stops by to chat about meeting celebrities and the difference between Action and Adventure.

Evan is back in the lounge! Joining Pax, Rob, and Michael to talk about Mansfield Park by Jane Austen, an identity crossroads, Kevin Smith writing Green Arrow, King Sorrow by Joe Hill, and ever so much more.
