In this episode of The Comic Source, Jace welcomes back fan-favorite writer Mark Russell to discuss his new Ahoy Comics one-shot, Thanksgiving. Known for weaving biting social commentary into relatable everyday scenarios, Russell explores the uneasy dynamics of family gatherings and how shared traditions can expose deep divides beneath the surface. The pair delve into the book's darkly humorous premise—a seemingly ordinary holiday dinner that spirals into moral chaos when one family member is revealed to be a killer—while unpacking the story's sharp reflections on modern America, empathy, and apathy. Jace and Mark also touch on Russell's collaboration with artist Alain Mauricet, whose grounded visuals and warm tones heighten both the satire and humanity of the tale. Before wrapping up, Mark teases his upcoming projects at Mad Cave Studios, including Racer X, Vanishing Point, and TerrorBytes, offering more of the thought-provoking storytelling that has made him one of comics' most distinctive voices.

Drinking a One-Two Punch In an earlier episode, I mentioned that between the ages of five and eight, my older brother used to take me to the Saturday afternoon matinees at a large movie theatre near our home in Northeast Philadelphia. Those outings were magical — the darkened theatre, the smell of popcorn, and the giant screen that opened windows to worlds far beyond my own. As I shared before, I saw some of the great science fiction classics of the 1950s, films that made an indelible impression on my young mind — impressions that, in some ways, have stayed with me ever since. In that earlier episode, we explored Invasion of the Body Snatchers, a film that warned of a future where human beings had become emotionless replicas — walking robots in human form. In this episode, we'll turn our attention to two other remarkable science fiction classics that touched me on a deep, existential level. The first is The Day the Earth Stood Still — a film that offered a profound vision of the power of human choice in the effort of our survival. The second is The Incredible Shrinking Man — a film that took me inward, toward the mystery of identity, consciousness, and what existence really means. The Day the Earth Stood Still The Day the Earth Stood Still opens in Washington, D.C., where a flying saucer lands on the National Mall, instantly drawing the attention of both the military and the public. From the ship emerges a calm, human-like visitor named Klaatu, who announces that he has come in peace, bearing a message to aid humanity. But when he reaches into his suit and pulls out a small, unfamiliar device, a nervous soldier panics and fires his rifle, wounding him. In that instant, a towering robot named Gort steps out of the ship and begins to disintegrate the soldiers' weapons with a blinding energy ray. The chaos halts only when Klaatu, wounded but composed, commands Gort to stop. He then explains that the device he was holding had been a gift intended for the President of the United States — a symbol of peace, not threat. Klaatu Among Humans Klaatu is rushed to Walter Reed Army Hospital, where he requests an audience with the world's leaders to deliver an urgent message. But the atmosphere of Cold War paranoia makes cooperation impossible. Frustrated by political barriers, Klaatu escapes the hospital and disguises himself as an ordinary man named “Mr. Carpenter.” He rents a room in a boarding house, where he befriends a young widow, Helen Benson, and her curious son, Bobby. Through his time with them — especially his friendship with Bobby — Klaatu experiences the rhythms of ordinary American life: simple kindness, curiosity, and fear. Eventually, he meets the brilliant Professor Barnhardt, a scientist modeled after Albert Einstein, who recognizes Klaatu's sincerity and agrees to help gather the world's leading scientific minds. Demonstration of Power To prove the seriousness of his mission, Klaatu arranges a global demonstration. At precisely noon, all electrical power across the planet ceases for thirty minutes. Lights go dark, cars stall, machinery grinds to a halt — the world itself seems to stop. Only essential systems like hospitals and airplanes in flight remain untouched. For half an hour, the human race stands still, witnessing a power far beyond its own. Conflict and Revelation Despite his peaceful purpose, Klaatu is relentlessly hunted by the military, who see him as a threat. When he tries to return to his spaceship, soldiers open fire, gravely wounding him. But before this, he had given Helen specific instructions: if anything happens to him, she must go to Gort and say the words — “Klaatu barada nikto.” Helen bravely delivers the message. Gort obeys, retrieves Klaatu's body, and revives him using alien technology. When Klaatu awakens, he tells Helen that his revival may be temporary — for only the Divine Power, not science, holds true authority over life and death. Final Warning In the film's climactic moment, Klaatu addresses the assembled scientists, revealing the full purpose of his visit. His people, he explains, monitor planets across the galaxy. Earth's combination of nuclear weapons and emerging rocket technology has made it a danger not only to itself but to all intelligent life. Klaatu's civilization lives in peace — but that peace is maintained by an interstellar police force of powerful robots like Gort. Any planet that threatens the balance of life will face destruction. Then he delivers his unforgettable warning: “The decision rests with you. We shall be waiting for your answer. The choice is simple — join us and live in peace, or pursue your present reckless course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer.” With that, Klaatu bids farewell, boards his spacecraft with Gort, and departs into the heavens — leaving humanity to decide its fate. Even though I was still just a little kid, I could barely move at the end of that movie. I remember sitting there, completely still, deeply shaken by the realization that we — the human race — are actually a very primitive species, and that there may exist an intelligence in the universe far more advanced and powerful than our own. Of course, the most unforgettable moment, was when Klaatu demonstrates his power by literally stopping all electricity on Earth for thirty minutes. Trains grind to a halt, factories fall silent, cars stall in the streets, and even wristwatches freeze in time. In that single moment, the entire world is brought to its knees, forced to experience its utter helplessness before a power infinitely greater — and yet, astonishingly, not malevolent, but filled with wisdom and compassion. Throughout the story, human beings are shown as anxious and paranoid, their decisions shaped by fear and greed. The aliens, by contrast, are calm, wise, and profoundly compassionate — beings who have long transcended the primitive impulses that still dominate us. Beneath the surface of the film runs a clear message: we are not the ultimate masters we imagine ourselves to be. And humanity is in critical need of a vast expansion of consciousness. Perhaps the wisest response to such a revelation is not more fear or aggression, but the openness that comes from true humility — the humility to listen, to learn, and to evolve. For this unknown force has shown us that it holds complete power over us, and yet it extends a hand of understanding. Its message could not be clearer — simple, urgent, and eternal: Evolve… or die. So, this brings us to the second film in today's episode, The Incredible Shrinking Man, which, to quote old hippie parlance, really did a major number on my head. Opening and Setup Scott Carey, a happily married, ordinary man, is vacationing on a boat with his wife, Louise. While sunbathing, he is suddenly enveloped by a strange, mist-like cloud. Six months later, he begins to feel unwell and notices his clothes fitting loosely. Soon, he realizes he is actually shrinking. Medical tests confirm that exposure to a combination of radioactive fallout and insecticide has altered his cellular structure, causing his body to continuously diminish in scale. Public Curiosity and Growing Despair As Scott becomes smaller, he loses his job and, eventually, his confidence. He becomes a media spectacle, dubbed “The Incredible Shrinking Man” by the press. His humiliation and helplessness deepen with every inch he loses. Though Louise still loves him deeply, their relationship grows increasingly strained as he withdraws emotionally. When he befriends Clarice, a kind-hearted circus performer with dwarfism, he finds brief solace and understanding — someone who truly empathizes with his plight. But that comfort vanishes when he realizes he is shrinking even smaller than her, confirming that his condition is unstoppable. Life in the Dollhouse Eventually, Scott becomes only a few inches tall and is forced to live in a dollhouse. Louise continues to care for him tenderly, but tragedy strikes when she steps out of the house, leaving him vulnerable. Their cat attacks, and in a frantic struggle for survival, Scott narrowly escapes — only to be knocked into the basement, where he is presumed dead. The Basement Odyssey Trapped in the basement and now only fractions of an inch tall, Scott begins a desperate struggle for survival. The familiar surroundings of his home transform into an immense and hostile wilderness. He faces epic battles against a giant spider, treacherous climbs over towering obstacles, and a constant search for crumbs of food and droplets of water. These scenes are both terrifying and deeply symbolic: Scott must rediscover his will to live in a world that continually threatens his existence. Existential Revelation As he continues to shrink beyond visible size, Scott experiences a profound spiritual awakening. He realizes that, though he is becoming infinitely small, he is still part of the infinite itself — connected to all creation. His fear dissolves into awe. He looks up at the stars and understands that size and scale are irrelevant in the cosmic order. And then he expresses his realization of the ultimate truth: “To God, there is no zero. I still exist.” Themes and Legacy When I first saw The Incredible Shrinking Man at around age eight, the experience was life-altering — though I was far too young to understand it intellectually. All I knew was that something vast and wordless had opened inside me. I didn't yet grasp its meaning; I simply felt it. Now, after many decades of personal growth and reflection, the film's message has come much more into focus. At its core, The Incredible Shrinking Man is a meditation on human vulnerability and ultimate transcendence. It begins as science fiction but ends as metaphysics — a journey from disintegration and despair to the realization of unity with the infinite. Its closing message is both humbling and exalting: that meaning endures even after form disappears. Beneath its pulp title and mid-1950s imagery lies a profoundly spiritual story about surrender, humility, and rediscovery — the timeless truth that even in the smallest particle of existence, the whole of creation still lives and breathes. Let's take a quick look at some of its deeper foundations. 1. The Fall of the Modern Everyman Scott Carey begins as the quintessential postwar American male — successful, confident, rational, and in control. But his sudden exposure to a mysterious radioactive mist destabilizes everything he relies upon. What follows is not merely a biological crisis but a metaphysical one. His physical shrinking mirrors the collapse of the ego — the gradual erosion of all external definitions of self: status, power, sexuality, and ultimately, even visibility itself. In many spiritual traditions, this marks the first stage of awakening: the unmaking of identity. The process can be terrifying, for it strips away everything that seems to guarantee one's existence. In this light, Scott's shrinking becomes a symbolic descent — the unraveling of the false self that must precede illumination. 2. The Basement as the Underworld When Scott falls into the basement, he has crossed into the mythic underworld — the inner realm where the soul confronts death and transformation. The ordinary objects surrounding him — spiders, matchsticks, droplets of water — are transformed into archetypes of the forces that test endurance and faith. Alone and unseen, he learns to survive not through domination but through adaptability, humility, and reverence for life in all its forms. Each confrontation with danger becomes an initiation. The basement is not a hell of punishment but a monastery of awakening, where the noise of the world falls away and consciousness begins to sense its unity with the Infinite. 3. The Vanishing Point and the Infinite As Scott continues to shrink, the story turns ever inward. The scale of his physical world expands into the scale of cosmic awareness. Matter, space, and spirit dissolve into a single continuum. His final revelation — that to God there is no zero — is a moment of pure, non-dualistic insight. He understands that although everything external is, by nature, impermanent, existence itself is indestructible; even the smallest particle contains the totality of being. This realization echoes the mystical experiences described by saints and sages across the ages: the Buddhist awakening to emptiness as fullness, the Sufi union with the Beloved, the Christian mystic's merging with divine light. What vanishes is not life, but the illusion of separateness. 4. A Science-Fiction Upanishad In its closing moments, the film transcends genre entirely. Scott's voice — serene and wonder-struck — becomes that of one who has passed through the dark night of the soul and emerged into awareness of the infinite. The stars above him mirror the subatomic worlds below, revealing the same pattern in every scale. He is no longer shrinking in the human sense but expanding into boundless consciousness. This is why the ending feels paradoxically uplifting: Scott disappears physically, yet spiritually he is reborn. His final words echo the timeless insight of the mystics — that what is eternal has no dependency on what is external. One rises and falls. The other was, is, and always will be. 5. The Lesson for the Modern Mind When I first saw The Incredible Shrinking Man, I had no idea what I was truly witnessing. Yet even as a child, I felt something profoundly stirring within me — something I could not name but would spend decades watching it unfold. Viewed through the lens of our own age, the film remains a radical challenge to the modern cult of control. It reminds us that meaning is not achieved by conquering the universe but by awakening to our unity with the power behind it. Scott's journey invites us to recognize that the smallest life, the faintest breath, participates equally in the infinite. The film closes not with fear but with awe. It whispers what every true mystic has discovered: that when the external self dissolves, the soul begins to expand — and, incredibly, the Infinite knowingly smiles behind it all, welcoming us home. So I had, in fact, seen two remarkable films with two powerful messages. In the first, The Day the Earth Stood Still, we were shown that we human beings are not the ultimate power in the universe — far from it. Yet within our limitations lies the capacity, and the choice, to evolve to the next level of awareness… or to face the bitter consequences of refusing to grow. And in The Incredible Shrinking Man, we are offered the counterpoint: even if we lose everything, there remains within us an indestructible identity — our connection to the infinite consciousness behind all creation. So even though you may lose everything, in reality, you have merged with the great essence of all there is. Well, that's quite a lot to digest, so let's let this be the end of today's episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind, and heart open — and let's get together again in the next one.

After discussing Lara Croft to death last episode, this time we felt the Need for Speed as we start the engines on our episode covering this largely forgotten car movie. We shifted gears this week to Need for Speed (2014) which is a video game adaptation focused on illegal street racing and other related and non-related crimes. We spend a chunk of time analysing some of the strange casting choices, from lead Aaron Paul failing to ignite the screen with Imogen Poots, to the baffling inclusion of a disheveled Michael Keaton playing an anonymous radio commentator. We will, inevitably, unpack the horrifying behaviour of Rami Malek's character, Finn, and try to remember Dakota Johnson's entirely forgettable character. What to expect from this week's episode: We analyse whether Aaron Paul's career ever truly raced past Breaking Bad. Sarah details her notes on the sheer number of consequential off-screen deaths and subsequent crimes the characters commit. We praise the commitment to practical effects and compare the action movies car chases to classics like Bullitt and Vanishing Point. We examine why the police were not remotely concerned about shutting down Monarch's illegal street racing operation. We spend a necessary amount of time questioning Benny (Kid Cudi) and his physics-defying, time-traveling plane. We discuss how the film could have been improved by trimming the fat (specifically two superfluous characters). We crown our newest winner of the Jason Statham King of Turds Award.

Writer Mark Russell joins us to discuss his path into comics, beginning with his breakthrough work God Is Disappointed in You, a satirical retelling of the Bible with cartoons by Shannon Wheeler that launched his unique career. We explore Mark's knack for breathing new life into seemingly impossible properties, from the reboot Prez and his surprising take on The Flintstones to his bold reimagining of Snagglepuss as a gay playwright facing McCarthyism in Exit, Stage Left!: The Snagglepuss Chronicles. Mark reveals his attraction to underestimated and dormant properties like the Wonder Twins, discusses the inspiration behind his controversial Second Coming series and reflects on the backlash it generated. We also dive into his Eisner Award-winning humor work Not All Robots, his collaboration process with artists like Mike Deodato, and his special creative partnership with Mike Allred on Superman: Space Age and Batman: Dark Age. Mark's recent Traveling to Mars series was just collected into trade paperback, and the second issue of the Vanishing Point anthology, comes out today, June 18!

Send us a textWas there ever an era in cinema history when the obsession with cars, speed, and outrunning the law—whether you were a hick, a hippie, or a world-weary urbanite—captured the public's imagination more than in the early 1970s?That's what we aim to ponder on this, our 106th episode of the Triple FFF as we discuss not one, not 2 but THREE POWERHOUSE mainstream movies of muscle-car mayhem starting with 1971's Vanishing Point directed by Richard C. Sarafian and starring Barry Newman, Dean Jagger, Paul Koslo, Severn Darden, Anthony James, John Amos and Cleavon Little followed by 1974's Gone in 60 Seconds directed and starring the great HB Halicki, his brother Ronald, Jerry Daugirda and Marion Busia. And topped off with Dirty Mary Crazy Larry also released in '74 directed by John Hough  and starring Peter Fonda, Susan George, Adam Roarke, Roddy McDowell and Vic Morrow. My guests this week are car and driving averse bookworm Roseanne Caputi, and the actor photographer and funnyman who heavily encouraged this topic of road burning revelry, a man who spent his formative years at the local theater in Ketchikan Alaska with a dazed smile on his face while his chin and his elbows rested on the seat in front him, whether there was someone seated in front of him or not, Gordon Alex Robertson. Before we cue the getaway banjo music and yell, “Kiss my Grits!” the synopses: Vanishing Point: Kowalski, a Nam vet and former cop turned delivery driver, is tasked with transporting a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T from Colorado to San Francisco in record time. As he speeds across the desert, he becomes a symbol of freedom and defiance, pursued by a relentless law enforcement apparatus.  Gone in 60 Seconds (1974): Maindrian Pace, an insurance adjuster and skilled car thief, is tasked with stealing fifty cars in a single night for a dangerous crime syndicate. As the clock ticks down, Pace races against time and evades the law against every possible odd to complete his impressive score.    Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry: After pulling off a daring yet disturbing home invasion and supermarket safe heist, two over the hill race car drivers, Larry and Deke, hit the California highways while on the run from the law.  They run into a setback when they are joined by Mary, a feisty and free spirited former one night stand of Larry's. The oddball trio then speed through the CA Delta backroads pursued by the shrewd and determined Captain Everett Franklin.   Which film laps the others in the Grand Prix and stands as an indelible classic? Or do all three win the Championship? Find out! Watch the video podcast on Youtube: https://youtu.be/nSQrMM2TnsQ

The first in the series of director Roger Corman's Edgar Allen Poe films sets a high bar for gothic horror adaptations. It stars the legendary Vincent Price as Roderick Usher, with a screenplay penned by Richard Matheson. The story is more faithful to the source material than Mike Flanagan's version, but there are still some significant changes. It's time for a classic in this former Patreon-exclusive!

Jan de Bont's adaptation of Shirley Jackson's novel bears little resemblance to the source material, much less the 1963 Robert Wise film, but with all the talent that worked on the movie it should have still been a success. Stephen King and Steven Spielberg both pitched in, but for whatever reason they couldn't save the movie from critical disappointment. Stars Catherine Zeta Jones, Owen Wilson, Liam Neeson, and Lili Taylor are all there, too, but can they elevate the movie above cheap thrills? Enjoy this former Patreon-exclusive episode!

Edward Ashton's expendable protagonist makes for a blue-collar hero for our times—someone who doesn't think too hard, ask too many questions, and most importantly, whose life doesn't matter… or does it? In episode 339, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they revisit some SF classics like the "Ship of Theseus," the "Teleporter Paradox," and a spicy new entry in a long running segment "would you do it?"

There are places in this world where the familiar twists into something unrecognizable. Roads that lead somewhere they shouldn't. Trains that carry passengers to destinations unknown. Towns where the people smile a little too wide and time moves at a pace it was never meant to. In this episode of Chilling Tales for Dark Nights, we invite you to step beyond the veil of reality into the eerie unknown. A lone traveler finds herself trapped in a place that wears the skin of home, but is anything but. A desperate man boards a train in the dead of night, only to discover a journey he may never return from. Each step forward pulls them deeper into the unnatural—where escape is uncertain, and the truth is more horrifying than they could ever imagine. With immersive narration from Girl in the Dark and host Geoff Sturtevant, Vanishing Point will take you to the edges of sanity… and leave you questioning what's waiting just beyond the fog.
