A new Staff Picks episode is up! My daughter, fellow documentary lover Vanessa Lanza, joins me to discuss one of those documentaries that, once you see once, you'll never forget. It's 2011's supremely memorable There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane. staffpicks.podbean.com/e/theres-somet…

Right before the year ends, have one more Survivor Historians episode that I edited. This is a pretty fun one. So much of the ridiculousness of South Pacific is discussed in this episode. An honor to even be a small part of it.

Today’s generation will never experience the randomness of flipping through tv channels at 2 pm on a weekend and stumbling upon a Howie Mandel movie about a man who was raised by dogs returning to proper wealthy society in order to inherit a fortune and that makes me sad.

A new Staff Picks episode is up. Fellow Oneders fan David Johnson joins me to discuss a movie that was big in its day, but you probably haven't thought about in a while. It's 1996's That Thing You Do! Featuring THAT HIT SONG that is still a banger. staffpicks.podbean.com/e/that-thing-y…

R.I.P. to Bud Cort, who starred in one of my all-time favorite movies, Harold and Maude. If you want to hear me talk about this movie and why I love it so much, here's the Staff Picks episode I recorded about it a couple of years ago: staffpicks.podbean.com/e/harold-and-m…

I've got a new episode of Staff Picks, and it's a biggie. A movie I've wanted to cover ever since I started this podcast. Teacher Jason Rasmussen joins me to discuss Quentin Tarantino's long disrespected 2015 masterpiece, The Hateful Eight. Enjoy! staffpicks.podbean.com/e/the-hateful-…

Well this is interesting. An essay I wrote nineteen years ago about Survivor is suddenly getting some attention again. realityblurred.com/realitytv/2026…

I've been working on it quietly, but I'm almost done with my last Ozzy chapter for my Funny 115 South Pacific writeup. Although it's complicated by the fact that I am trying to work some season 50 stuff into it. Darn them for always making these writeups open ended.
