Mary Trump on Democrats who want to return to normal after Trump: “If you think the solution to these horrors is to go back to where we were and resurrect the situations that made these horrors possible, you’re not a serious person. If you aren’t willing to reform the Supreme Court in significant ways. If you are not willing to undo every single thing Donald’s done and do away completely with traditions and norms and start codifying everything. If you’re not willing to get rid of the filibuster. If you’re not willing to draw a bright line in terms of Netanyahu’s government and in terms of Russia. If you’re not willing to abolish ICE and I would argue DHS also needs to be abolished”

You won't hear a better 55-second description of MAGA and Trump than this: in terms of the perspective of any minimally honest MAGA supporter:

We do not want forced religion We do not want a golden ballroom We do not want robot teachers We do not want endless wars We do not want a triumphal arch We do not want pedos on coins We do not want corruption We do not want grift We want healthcare We want affordable housing We want safe schools We want living wages

There’s a reason Washington didn’t do this. Jackson didn’t do this. Lincoln didn’t do this. TR didn’t do this. FDR didn’t do this. Reagan didn’t do this. They were all *real* American patriots. This is something you see in banana republics, from Mickey Mouse wannabe despots.

Our dear friend, the film critic, blogger, broadcaster, quizmaster and collector of colourful plastic things, Marshall Julius, joins us for our chat about 1956's "Forbidden Planet" and we had damned fine time! buzzsprout.com/679904/episode…

One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting many Americans to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires, and empathy more than cruelty.

@BarelyAshley Stunning.

Happy Holiday! #FridayThe13th

It’s very small comfort, but we’re fortunate that the current president and his administration are so blatant inept & unqualified. Otherwise, things could be even worse. And they’re pretty bad now.

There’s no national emergency exception to Art 1, Sec 4 of the Constitution. States regulate elections unless Congress passes law. That’s why trump desperately wants to pass the save act to suppress voting. Courts will slap trump down just like they did with his illegal tariffs.

Two years ago, for Dave's birthday, we watched the Spanish-Italian zombie movie, “The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue"(1974), Ep. #125 Everyone was locked in their separate chambers and there was NO cake, but Mary's cocktail was a hit! Listen here: buzzsprout.com/679904/episode…

@caitlinmcgowan No fascist statues!

The Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund was created to support Minnesota artists and preserve our history. Now it’s being tapped for $25,000 to build a statue of non-Minnesotan Charlie Kirk at the U of M. Meanwhile, arts orgs across the state are fighting to survive. Be serious.

Heard our latest episode, “The Deadly Spawn”(1983), Ep.164? listen in, This episode is for those who enjoy a movie shot on 16mm film, by amateurs on a $25,000 budget, before CGI, full of fake blood, surprisingly good creature design & practical effects. buzzsprout.com/679904/episode…

All right, you nerds - step into the dripping, wet Deep Dark Lounge, grab a drink and listen to our chat about 1983's "The Deadly Spawn".  buzzsprout.com/679904/episode…

Good to see “X” performing at top capacity again. #stillcallingitTwitter

@BarelyAshley Don’t give up hope!

Me totally not having a ongoing breakdown because I will be alone forever. 😅😅😅😭

Baseball is coming ... Pitchers and catchers start reporting this week! #SpringTraining

WOW! 👏Philly DA Larry Krasner: “This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis in a country of 350 million. We outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will. We will find you. We will achieve justice.” #ICEoffOurStreets

Our newest episode - 1973's "Messiah of Evil" - was recorded WAYYYY back in October, we did not intend for it to drop on Christmas Day, given the title. Ah, well . . . enjoy! buzzsprout.com/679904/episode…

In our newest podcast episode, we travel all the way to 1980 and Antonio Bay to get lost in . . . "The Fog"! A good time was had by all . . . buzzsprout.com/679904/episode…
