The world has become the kind of place where we’re scrambling to find the good in the world, and that’s what I’m trying to do.

October keeps plugging along, and I keep plugging along with my podcast! Not much going on in this week’s episode. With Thanksgiving behind us, it turns out you can cook a turkey in the microwave.

And then I execute a tonal shift to gush about the trailer for The Batman. Over in The Streaming Report, I watched a lot of Dracula adaptations this past week, so I share my thoughts. And I wrap things up by talking about two reboots in development: The Powerpuff Girls and The X-Files.All in Episode 10.19: The Gritty Reboot!

 It’s another grey, rainy day, so what better way to while away the hours than by cranking out another podcast! It was quiet week leading up to this, so not much to talk about. Over at DC, Ben Affleck is coming back as Batman for the “Is it finally happening?” Flash movie. Over at Marvel, Sony keeps working to make the Spider-Verse a thing, so I update you on the upcoming Spider-Man adjacent films.

 It’s been a pretty quiet week for me, and that’s reflected in this quiet podcast. About the most exciting thing I did was I ran out to try KFC’s new plant-based chicken, so you’ll hear that in this episode as part of a new installment of Mark Tastes Random Things. Agents of SHIELD had their final episode, so I take a moment to reflect. Over on The Streaming Report, I decide to correct the fact that I’ve never seen a Fast & The Furious film. And I wrap things up by going down a G.I. Joe rabbit hole.And that’s all in Episode 10.17: Lotta Binging

In The Streaming Report, I reminisce about the late great Carl Reiner as I binge a bunch of Dick Van Dyke Show reruns. And yet another new Batman TV series is on the way!All in Episode 10.13: Talkin' 'Bout Ghostbusters!

And I wax nostalgic about Activision games on the Atari 2600.All on Episode 10.12: The Big Screen

It’s still a pretty messed-up world out there, and I try not to talk about it because I want this show to be a dumb little distraction. But there’s a few things I must address. For example…the movie theatres are reopening! I’ll tell you what they’re doing to entice you to come out. With the theatres reopening, we’re getting trailers for new movies again, so I give you my thoughts on the trailers for Bill & Ted Face the Music and The King’s Man. And Disney is going to be giving Splash Mountain a needed facelift.So check out Episode 10.11: Back to the Movies

Wanna come?” And I said, “Sure!”So in Episode 10.10: How I Spent My June Vacation, I tell you all about it! We stayed at the luxurious Wildhorse Lake campground and I tell you about some of the interesting roadside turnouts we stopped at. In downtown Jasper, I finally got to sample one of the world-famous BeaverTails, and I tell you about my favourite things that I’d like to try in Jasper someday. Give it a listen!

Time for a few more rants and raves from me in these days of spending most of your time at home. But I always spent most of my time at home anyway, so it’s nothing new.

And I get nostalgic about the Studio Ghibli Museum.And that’s what’s all on deck in Episode 10.05: Where I’m AtGive it a listen!

Hence the title of this week’s show.I also recap the Star Wars news that came out of Star Wars Day, take you down the rabbit hole that is Disney Theme Park vlogs, and in the streaming report, I catch-up on sci-fi by binging Ex Machina, Arrival, and Annihilation.So give it a listen!

Re-posting an old favourite to make sure my RSS feeds are still working.The summer of 2007 saw the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  When I was out and about in Athabasca on that fateful morning, I noticed a group of Athabasca Harry Potter fans all lined up in front of the Athabasca Value Drug Mart...the only place in town selling it on release day.  So I wandered up to them, had a chat with them, and made a podcast about it. So give it a listen!
