Not all vampires laugh or glitter. Some struggle to resist monstrous bloodlust. This week, take a turbulent red eye with us as we explore a surprisingly intense new action-horror with killer makeup. Also, which pop culture vampires would you rather sit beside at 30,000 feet? Motion Picture Terror Scale: 4 (Marcus) / 5 (Melissa) / 3 (Grady). Quality: 5. Enjoyment: 5. Articles Mentioned in this Episode: "‘Blood Red Sky' Director Peter Thorwarth on Putting a Vampire on an Airplane [Interview]," by Steven Prokopy for SlashFilm "Peri Baumeister & Dominic Purcell Interview: Blood Red Sky," by Zak Wojnar for Screen Rant

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 18, 2021 is: preeminent • pree-EM-uh-nunt • adjective 1 : exhibiting eminence especially in standing above others in some quality or position : prominent 2 : standing out so as to be readily perceived or noted : conspicuous 3 : jutting out : projecting Examples: "Over the course of 80 years, Chuck Norris has done it all. He served in the military before becoming one of the most universally recognized martial artists of all time, and his skills led to a successful career in films, beginning with a legendary battle against the great Bruce Lee in the iconic action movie, Way of the Dragon, before becoming one of the preeminent action heroes of the 1980s." — Zak Wojnar, Screen Rant, 4 Dec. 2020 "[Georgia] ranked 10th in tech employment nationally, is a hub of Black tech entrepreneurship, and is home to a cluster of a major academic centers, including Georgia Tech and Emory University, as well as Morehouse and Spelman, two preeminent HBCUs who have made significant contributions to educating underrepresented communities." — Bhaskar Chakravorti, Harvard Business Review, 4 Dec. 2020 Did you know? What is noteworthy about the following sentence? "Denali Mountain is a prominent eminence on the Alaskan landscape." You very likely recognized two words that are closely related to preeminent: prominent and eminence. All three words are rooted in the Latin verb stem -minēre, meaning "to stand out." Mount is also a related word: it comes from Latin mont- or mons, meaning "mountain," which shares a common ancestor with -minēre. Mount leads us in turn to paramount, a word closely related in meaning to preeminent.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo, the biggest event in video games, is on the horizon. Pod guests Naomi Lugo, Zak Wojnar, and Jack Gardner will join myself in Los Angeles to see it all go down first-hand.

So in the immortal words of Bob Ross, grab yourself a tall glass of ice tea, sit back in the old easy chair, and enjoy this jumbo-sized E3 episode of Carving Gaming Rushmores!
