Een stripreeks over de vrijmetselarij die zó overtuigend is dat je als lezer bijna vergeet waar geschiedenis stopt en fictie begint. Dat is precies waarom we met zoveel plezier praten met Rian van Dark Dragon Books en met vertalers Jeanine en Tonio, de mensen achter de Nederlandse editie van Het Epos Van De Vrijmetselaars. Van de eerste rechtenaankoop tot de vraag “voor wie is dit eigenlijk bedoeld?” We nemen je mee in de keuzes die een historische strip tot leven brengen.Daarna duiken we de vertaalkeuken in. Hoe vertaal je vrijmetselaarsjargon zonder dat je plank mis slaat waardoor insiders eventueel afhaken? We hebben het over proeflezen, samenwerken, bestaande vertalingen van oude teksten opsporen, en het extra puzzelwerk van strips: de ruimte in tekstballonnen, het ritme van dialogen en taalgebruik dat per tijdvak verandert. Ook komt langs hoe titels soms verkeerd vertaalt worden, zoals bij het klassieke Frans “compas” dat in het Nederlands ineens een kompas werd, terwijl het eigenlijk om een passer gaat.Het gesprek wordt nog interessanter wanneer we de rode draad van de reeks bespreken: een “steen” die het verhaal voortstuwt, maar historisch niet bestaat. Wat doet zo'n ‘McGuffin' met lezers, met beeldvorming en met het verschil tussen historische accuraatheid en vrijmetselaarsmythes? We eindigen met reacties uit de vrijmetselaarswereld, tips voor andere massonieke strips en een helder antwoord op een lastige vraag: waarom politiek en religie in de loge vaak op de drempel blijven, terwijl ze in de verhalen toch steeds terugkeren.Abonneer je op de Vrijmetselaars Podcast, deel deze aflevering met een stripliefhebber of geschiedenisfan, en laat een review achter.Dark Dragon BooksJakin BDMarc Antoine MatthieuJoe SaccoHugo PrattSupport the show

Today's episode comes to you by way of the venerable David McGuffin — host of Canadian Geographic's Explore Podcast. David is one of Canada's finest broadcast journalists: with two decades as a foreign correspondent for the CBC, NPR, the BBC, reporting from Moscow, Beijing, and Rome bureaus to name a just few. He's an RCGS Fellow, a contributing editor at Canadian Geographic, and his Explore Podcast is seriously worth your time. Go find it.David sat down with Laval to talk about his recent solo winter adventure in Ukraine — a ski traverse through the Carpathians, summiting the six highest peaks in the country,including Ukraine's highest, Hoverla.That trip means something different now as the scale of these attacks has rapidly escalated since Laval has returned. For instance, on March 23-24, Russia launched 948 drones in a single day, representing one of the largest massed barrages of the conflict.Then in April, Russia launched a record near 6,600 Shahed-type drones at Ukraine, averaging 219 launches per day and the attacks continue to escalate, Ukraine's sad reality. The landscapes Laval moved through and the people he met there, are living and sometimes tragically dying in that reality right now. Please keep that in mind as you listen.A big thank you to David and the Canadian Geographic Explore Podcast team for letting us share this conversation with the Adventure Audio family.

12.0.7 is already up on the PTR. Sean is done with upgrading gear and Manny expresses frustration with the new power system coming with Midnight: Revelations.

Wow! This will be one of my all-time favourite interviews.  I had the opportunity to sit down with Gary McGuffin, of The McGuffins paddling duo fame.  Gary is a Canadian paddling Legend, photographer, Telemark skier, Nature Conservator, and well-known author. Gary shares his Telemark/Nordic tale, from a very young age to today. As well, he chronicles how growing up in rural Southwestern Ontario and summering in Northern Ontario informed his choices later in life, schooling, activities, and the meeting with Joanie, his lifelong partner, while attending Seneca College and how they made a life of adventure together. They live just outside of Searchmont, Ontario where they continue to be very active in the paddling scene, and very importantly with land/shoreline conservancy of the Lake Superior environs.  Gary and Joanie are founding members of The Lake Superior Watershed Conservancy. He shares why this Conservancy is so important to he and Joanie as well as to other Canadians. I hope you enjoy this episode, which is hopefully only the first of a few more.

Boo and Evan hope for the best and expect the worst, so they were ready for Mask to go full on McGuffin heavy with this one. Somethings things age well, and some things are just rough.If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!Morethanmeetstheseguys@gmail.comhttps://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhIf you'd like to toss a buck or more per episode, we'd adore and say nice things about you.

KPFA Theatre Critic Richard Wolinsky reviews “Flex” by Candice Jones, at San Francisco Playhouse through May 2, 2026.           TEXT OF REVIEW: Film and TV audiences love sports stories, groups of disparate people thrown together striving to work as one to achieve their goal, usually to win the big game. From Major League to Ted Lasso to The Sandlot, we are entranced by how the characters grow and mature, and hopefully, in the end, they will become heroes. Sports stories in live theatre are few and far between, most likely because you can't really show the games. And sports stories about girls, black girls in particular? They're nowhere to be found, except in the play Flex by Candice Jones, having its West Coast premiere at San Francisco Playhouse through May 2nd. Flex tries the impossible: to actually show the game, or at least some facsimile. The stage has basketball hoops at both ends, the one stage right in a playground, and stage left at a gym. We're in a small town in Arkansas in 1998, a team of five high school girls, all black, as is their coach, are just good enough to win a regional championship. We zero in on Starra Jones, played with hip-hop swagger by Santeon Brown, the best athlete on the stage. In the opening sequence, all five are pregnant, only they're not. It's a test to see how they would play with big bellies because small town girls always become pregnant and are forced to leave the team. But we soon learn one of them, April, actually is pregnant. She wants to play, but the coach says no. The championship is important because scouts will be there, there will be scholarships available and who knows, maybe the newly founded WNBA could be in someone's future, and Starra, willing to stretch ethics to get ahead, wants to be the one they see. But maybe it's Sidney who's the best on the team, and maybe Starra needs to figure out a way to take the spotlight. April, for her part, isn't sure she wants to keep the baby. The religious Cherisse meanwhile, is uncomfortable with her sexuality. Each girl has her own secrets. Flex – named after the team's signature five-person shoot around play – is set on basketball courts, and much of the play occurs on the court. This works in conception, but not always in practice. The bouncing ball muffles the dialogue, and the road to the championship becomes a McGuffin only the girls care about. It's in the non-basketball scenes that the play really comes alive, and where the actors really shine, and its those scenes that makes Flex worth seeing. Flex by Candrice Jones, directed by Margo Hall, plays at San Francisco Playhouse through May 2nd. For more information, you can go to SFPlayhouse.org. I'm Richard Wolinsky on Bay Area Theatre for KPFA. The post Review: “Flex” at San Francisco Playhouse appeared first on KPFA.

In this week's episode, I look back at the movies and streaming shows I watched over winter 2025/2026 Instead of Coupon of the Week, you can get SILENT ORDER: OMNIBUS ONE for free at my Payhip store at this link until March 31st: https://payhip.com/b/lhCyU TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 294 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is March the 13th, 2026 and today we are looking at my movie and streaming TV show reviews for Winter 2025 and 2026. We'll also have Coupon of the Week and an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. Before we get into all that, let's start off with Coupon of the Week. Actually, we are not going to have Coupon of the Week this week because originally I scheduled a Coupon of the Week for Silent Order: Omnibus One to get you 25% off it. However, I was able to get a BookBub Featured Deal to give away Silent Order: Omnibus One for free on the 17th. So instead, the episode description will just have a link to where you can get Silent Order Omnibus One for free at my Payhip store. Next week, regular Coupon of the Week will return. Now for an update on my current writing, publishing and audiobook projects. As of this recording, I am about 51,000 words into Blade of Wraiths. I had hoped to be a little further at the end of this week, but there was quite a bit of real life stuff to do this week that took up a lot of time. I didn't make quite as much progress as I had hoped, but I did make some progress, so that's good. I'm still hoping to have the book out in April if all goes well, but we will see. I'm also 5,000 words into Dragon-Mage, which will be the sixth book in the Rivah Half-Elven Thief series (six of nine planned). That hopefully will be out in May if all goes well. In audiobook news, the main recording on Blade of Storms (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) is finished. Just have some proofing to do yet and then get through processing. Then hopefully the audiobook should be available on all platforms by next month. Recording is also underway for Wizard-Assassin, the fifth book in the Rivah Half-Elven Thief series. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. 00:02:00 Main Topic: Movie/TV Show Review Roundup Now let's move on to our main topic this week, my movie roundup. Spring is near, so it's time for my Winter 2025/ 2026 Movie Review Roundup. I admit this is a bit shorter than my usual movie roundups because for a couple of months I didn't see anything I really felt like writing about. Not in a bad way or depressed sort of way, but I just didn't see anything I felt interested enough to write about, whether good or bad. The new year brought new movies to watch and now we have enough for a Movie Review Roundup. As always, the movies and shows are in order from my least favorite to my most favorite. The reviews are based on nothing objective, but only my own thoughts and opinions. First up is Operation Fortune, which came out in 2023. This is a Guy Richie action comedy with Jason Statham in the lead, which probably describes all you need to know about it. Like if you say the phrase "Guy Richie Action Comedy with Jason Statham in the Lead", this would be the movie that popped into your head. Statham plays Orson Fortune, an elite special forces operative. When a mysterious device is stolen by terrorists, the UK government sends Fortune to retrieve it. Fortune teams up with a group of specialists and then sets out to punch bad guys and save the day. Some good action sequences, some funny bits, and Hugh Grant was hilarious as the evil arms broker billionaire, but definitely a paint by number action movie. Enjoyable to watch, but nothing deep. Overall Grade: C Next up is Legend, which came out in 1985. This is a very weird movie told as sort of an '80s style dark fairy tale. The premise is that the Lord of Darkness wants to destroy all light (as lords of darkness are wont to do). But to do that, he needs to kill a pair of unicorns. He sends his goblin minions to do the deed. Meanwhile, Princess Lili is in love with Jack, a forest child who lives in harmony with various elves and dwarves and other natural creatures. When the goblins kill one of the unicorns and take the other back to Darkness's subterranean fortress, Jack and Lili have to team up to rescue the last unicorn and defeat Darkness. The creature work and all the puppets and suchlike look amazing. Poor Tim Curry delivered an excellent performance under that mountain of prosthetics he had to wear as Darkness. That said, I don't think Tom Cruise had quite learned how to act yet, and I'm afraid he kind of stood around with a blank expression most of the time. So I'd say Legend is an interesting fantasy classic, but definitely very niche. Overall Grade: B- Next up is Anaconda, which came out in 2025. This is a very meta, bonkers, and yet nonetheless entertaining comedy movie. It kind of went off the rails while shouting "WHEEEEEE" the entire time. College friends Doug, Griff, Claire, and Kenny are entering middle age and are all dissatisfied with how their lives have turned out. Doug wanted to be a director, but instead makes wedding videos. Griff is a struggling actor. Claire is a divorced lawyer and Kenny is a "Buffalo drunk (he only drinks beer and wine and just some, but not all of the hard liquors). When Griff acquires the rights to make the next movie in the Anaconda series, the four friends jump at the chance to make it as an indie film. Scraping together their savings, they set off for the Amazon to film their snake movie. However, they find themselves caught in the middle of a fight between illegal gold miners and the Brazilian government and there is an actual giant anaconda that is hunting both the gold miners and idealistic American filmmakers. This was very meta since the characters were making a movie in the Anaconda series…in a movie in the Anaconda series. Despite that, it was very funny and I enjoyed it, though it might be a bit too tongue in cheek for some viewers. Comedy, alas, is ever subjective. Overall Grade: B- Next up is Fackham Hall, which came out in 2025. Sometimes a movie is funny but dumb. Sometimes a movie is dumb but still funny, and sometimes a movie is just plain dumb. However, I'm pleased to report that Fackham Hall is the best of the three: funny, but dumb. It's a goofy but affectionate parody of Downton Abbey and the kind of movie that isn't afraid to make jokes simply for the sake of jokes. Interestingly, halfway through the movie takes the right hand turn and becomes a parody of an Agatha Christie novel. It was pretty funny in the vein of the Naked Gun or Airplane movies, though a few of the jokes might be too raunchy for some viewers. Overall Grade: B- Next up is Wrecking Crew, which came out in 2026. I would say this was one part buddy cop comedy, one part noir mystery, and one part John Wick style violence. When private investigator Walter Hale is killed by a hit and run in Hawaii, both his sons (by different mothers) conclude that it was murder. Straight laced James (played by Dave Bautista) is a Navy SEAL with a stable family life, while Maverick cop Johnny (played by Jason Momoa) is frequently drunk and on the outs and on the outs with his girlfriend. Nevertheless, both half-brothers independently realize that shady corporate interests killed their father and set out to find his killers. They must also deal with their complicated feelings with their father and overcome their deep seated resentment of each other. This was a pretty fun action movie, though the violence level is definitely John Wick level and might put off some viewers. Honestly, it made me wonder if there's a "Hawaiian Noir" mystery genre, the way that "Nordic Noir" novels were popular for a while. Overall Grade: B Next up is The Running Man, which came out in 2025. This is both very dark and very funny, and I think it was actually better than the original movie from the 1980s. It explores the same concept. Future America is a dystopia ruled by the Network megacorp and Glen Powell's character needs to get medicine for his daughter, but he can't afford it, so he tries out for the Network's cruel reality shows and lands a spot on the biggest one of all, The Running Man, where contestants have to stay alive and hidden for 30 days while they're hunted by mercenaries and the general public gets rewarded for informing on them. This definitely had strong Idiocracy vibes as well and the satire of contemporary American culture was very cutting and probably quite accurate. I do think this movie deserved better than to flop at the box office like it did, but perhaps it will have a long life on streaming. Overall Grade: B Next up is A Few Good Men, which came out in 1992. This is a high quality legal thriller carried by Tom Cruise's and Jack Nicholson's performances. Today, Tom Cruise is largely famous for extreme stunts like driving a motorcycle cycle off a cliff (it did make for a good movie) and various personal eccentricities, but both he and Nicholson really can act and their scenes together are great. Sometime between this and Legend (which we talked about earlier), Cruise really figured out how to act on screen. Anyway, when a Marine is killed during a hazing ritual, Lieutenant Kaffee (played by Tom Cruise), is called in to investigate, aided by Lieutenant Commander Galloway (played by Demi Moore). Colonel Jessup (who was played by Nicholson), the commander of the Marines in question, wants to cover up what really happened, and Kaffee and Galloway set out to prove that the Marines charged with murder were in fact following orders when the hazing ritual went wrong. Of course, the movie hinges around Kaffee's and Jessup's final confrontation in the courtroom. I have a theory that all genres are in fact variants of fantasy. Like romance is the fantasy of true love, thrillers are the fantasy of violence and so forth. This movie would be the fantasy of the legal thriller, where the bad guy cracks on the stand. In real life, of course, when generals screw up, the privates, the NCOs, and the junior officers get thrown under the bus while the generals go on to cushy gigs at the Rand Corporation or Lockheed Martin. The strength of the performances makes the fantasy and therefore the movie work. Overall Grade: A Next up is The Paper, which came out in 2025. I ended up with a month of the Peacock streaming service, so I decided to give The Paper a try. It is a spinoff of the classic The Office [US] sitcom from the 2000 to 2010s. The premise is that failing paper company Dunder Mifflin from The Office has been purchased by a large conglomerate called Enervate. Enervate 's core business is toilet paper and other paper bathroom products, but they also own the Toledo Truth Teller (we'll refer to that as TTT) newspaper, and they use paper pulp that isn't good enough for toilet paper to print the paper. TTT is a regrettably normal local American newspaper in that it's mostly AP Wire articles and ads, with one reporter who covers local sporting events. Things start to change when Ned Sampson takes over as the new editor of TTT. Ned was formally Enervate's best toilet paper salesman, but he has a romantic view of journalism and wants to be a reporter. As a favor to him, the CEO lets him take over TTT. There he meets Mare Pritti, an Army vet in charge of the paper's layout who also wants to be a real journalist, and the two of them hit it off despite their immediate attraction. Ned has to navigate his coworkers (who range from useless to insane and useless to even more insane), corporate politics, rival bloggers, and his growing attraction to Mare. It was a pretty funny first season and I enjoyed it. There's allegedly going to be a second season, so if that happens, I will definitely watch. Overall Grade: A Next up is Conan the Barbarian, which came out in 1982. I actually saw this before like 15 years ago, but I saw it again at the end of February, so it's time to write about it. This is a very specific movie that deserves its status as a cult classic, and I do think it is better than Legend. It wasn't particularly faithful to any of the Conan stories, but it somehow did a good job of capturing the essence of the character. This was one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's first movies. It might have even been his first one, though I'm not sure. He didn't quite have the whole acting thing down yet, so he played Conan as strong, stoic, and mostly silent, which worked quite well for the character. James Earl Jones was excellent as Thulsa Doom, the evil wizard and cult leader who is Conan's nemesis. I guess in the 1980s, if you wanted your fantasy or science fiction film to be successful, you needed your villain to be an armored figure either played by or voiced by James Earl Jones. The Riddle of Steel scene where Conan throws all Doom's atrocities into his face and Doom goes, "ah" in the sense that, "yeah, I get why you want to kill me," was great. The fight scenes and stunts are all the more impressive in hindsight because obviously they're all practical effects and efforts since CGI didn't exist yet, especially given the large number of horses in the movie, since no horses are notoriously very difficult to work with in film. I once heard an experienced rider say managing a horse is like managing a two year old, albeit a two year old that weighs a thousand pounds and is much stronger than you are. The soundtrack by Basil Poledouris is a classic and deservedly so. Like, modern day oligarchs come across less as dark lords and more like malevolent dorks because they travel by private jets and electric car and yachts and so forth. By contrast, Thulsa Doom thunders across the countryside with his Riders of Doom, accompanied by Basil Poledouris's score with trumpets, drums, and choral parts. If you really want to be an intimidating bad guy, your entourage needs to be armored cavalry riders and you need a Basil Poledouris light motif. Conan the character sometimes gets stereotyped or dismissed as a masculine power fantasy (erroneously in my opinion), but the female characters in the movie are pretty good. Conan's mother faces off against the Riders of Doom by herself and Thulsa Doom himself has to use his mental magic to kill her. Prince's Yasmina is kind of the McGuffin of the movie, but she has a character arc as well where she turns against Doom and helps Conan to fight him. Compared to many '70s and '80s film heroines, Valeria was very good. For example, Lois Lane in the 1978 and 1980 Superman movies screams a lot and basically causes Superman to make a lot of bad decisions while being dead weight. By contrast, Valeria kills a bunch of bad guys with her sword, fists fights some evil spirits to save Conan, and then literally comes back from the dead as a Valkyrie to help Conan in the final battle with Thulsa Doom's goons. So this is definitely worth watching as a cult classic of the fantasy genre, though it does have a lot of nudity even by the standards of '80s movies. Overall Grade: A Now for my favorite thing I saw in Winter 2025/ 2026, which was Wonder Man, which came out in 2026. I was surprised by how much I liked this. The main character is Simon Williams, who is a struggling actor in LA. He's a good actor, but he's also an enormous theater nerd with an encyclopedic knowledge of both film and theater, which means he tends to overthink his performances, to the exasperation of the director and crew, which gets him fired a lot. One day he meets Trevor Slattery, the highly eccentric British actor who unknowingly was recruited to play the fake Mandarin back in Iron Man 3. Trevor has since kicked drugs and alcohol and returned to his one true love, acting. He ends up taking Simon under his wing and together they set out to get auditions for Wonder Man, a remake of Simon's favorite superhero movie from when he was a kid. However, both Simon and Trevor have secrets. Simon is concealing actual superpowers since superpowered individuals are not allowed in major film and television productions for safety and legal reasons due to a hilarious side story involving Josh Gad. Trevor was actually recruited under the threat of returning to prison by the Department of Damage Control to spy on Simon since they suspect he has superpowers but can't prove it and they want to find enough evidence to arrest him. The tension of all these plot threads keeps ratcheting up until the final episode. Anyway, this was an excellent self-contained "ground level" Marvel story without a lot of callbacks or cameos or getting lost in the increasingly complex MCU continuity. The friendship between Simon and Trevor, two extremely eccentric actors, was both touching and hilarious. Overall Grade: A+ So those are the movies and streaming shows I watched in Winter 2025 and 2026. So that's it for this week. Thank you for watching The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show enjoyable and interesting. A reminder that you can listen to all the back episodes with transcripts at https://thepulpwritershow.com.

[School of Movies 2025] A bold new direction for the transforming robotic life forms. Fully digitally animated, with no need of Shia Lebeouf or Marky Mark, specifically an animated film theatrically released for the first time since 1986, and for the first time neither Peter Cullen nor Frank Welker is lending their voice to proceedings, despite this being an origin story for both Optimus Prime and Megatron. Instead Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry step up to lend unexpectedly Shakespearean weight to the dramatic dissolution of a friendship between these two eternal foes. It's a Transformers movie that's actually about something for a change, rather than just a McGuffin hunt, and Bumblebee won't SHUT UP! Guest: Dan Hoeppner  @MightyMegatron0  of Leftover Army Monsters

Send us a textIn this episode, we talk about the films of director Joe Camp. We talk about his big break from the film, Benji. We discuss how Benji was seemingly all over pop culture in the 70's and early 80's. Joe Camp also directed a hidden gem in 1979 called The Double McGuffin. This film starred several child actors, but also veteran actors such as George Kennedy, Ernest Borgnine, and Elke Sommer. Click and listen!

In spite of the questions and confusion around the topic of hearing from God, the Bible still has much to say about living our lives while walking by and with the Holy Spirit. How do we hear from God? Are the gifts mentioned in the New Testament for us? These topics are discussed with Pastor Pat McGuffin from Freedom Fellowship, and a member of his church, author and teacher Dr. Ray Self.

After three decades and seven previous cinematic outings, super agent Ethan Hunt clocks in for, what is said be, his final mission. This week the Joes pass on Lilo and Stitch and instead check out Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. Does this newest entry in the venerable action thriller franchise break out of the time tested mold of, a world threatening McGuffin, death-defying stunts, and lots of Tom Cruise running? SPOILER. No, not so much. Does it do an exceptional job of staying in its lane, even while raising the stakes, and looking amazingly good doing it? Again SPOILER, yes, yes it does. While no one who has ever seen a Mission Impossible film will be surprised by what they see, they won't be disappointed either. There's also the usual Random Topics, including some superfluous, Star Wars themed, dead horse beating, and a round of What's in the Box. Thanks for listening!

¿Qué tal? Soy Jorge Bustos, bienvenido al mediodía de este viernes 23 de mayo. La película se titula "Aforeitor". Se ha rodado íntegramente en Extremadura y todo el reparto está compuesto en exclusiva por políticos socialistas. Su líder se llama Miguel Ángel Gallardo y prometió que no se postularía a un escaño en el Parlamento extremeño para que nadie pensara que solo perseguía el aforamiento. Pero claro, esta es una producción de cine sanchista y en el cine sanchista los personajes siempre terminan haciendo lo contrario de lo que prometen, es como el McGuffin de Hitchcock pero en cutre. Así ...

Llega la octava entrega de la saga en la que Tom Cruise vuelve a darlo todo; carisma, escenas de acción, villanos, cables que cortar, cuentas atrás... pero no termina de convencer. Demasiado larga, 2 horas y 50 minutos, demasiado explicada en algunas secuencias y con un McGuffin que ves venir desde el primer momento. Javier Ocaña nos explica la importancia de esta saga, de este cine, tan importante para el negocio, tan esperado por los espectadores. Además sumamos el estreno español "Los tortuga" y como Crítica bajo demanda "Nueve reinas"

We live in a pulpy world: lurid, sensationalistic, and super chunky orange juice.  That's right, our podders watched Pulp Fiction.  And just like dance competitions colliding with motorcycle nomenclature, we are partnering with The Creative Alliance and their Interactive Movie Night on Friday, May 16th. So listen to the pod to get the low down and then twist the night away with some amazing interactions.  Remember, don't do drugs (but if you do make sure you have a Lance), do not steal McGuffin brand briefcases under any circumstance, and buy your sporting good from Play-It-Again Sports, trust us.

If you are a loyal survivor playing along in real time give this story a listen and send me some feedback.  ...Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypsePatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.com Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypse.

Deep space: where you'll see a lot of purple stuff. Also a bunch of murder. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the jock in Can't Hardly Wait is out of his gourd on a spaceship killing people over a galaxy-destroying McGuffin, then look no further than SUPERNOVA (2000), which somehow also had James Spader, Angela Bassett and freaking Francis Ford Coppola attached to it, what? This absolute goose egg waste of $90 million has aged like milk and we're here to make it into astronaut ice cream for you! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
