WCM: Josh Schlossberg was on this show, talking about microbial horror. I was having technical difficulties in the begining, and I think I heard Dedman riffing on the fart machine again. Was it another chapter in the never ending drama that is the sound system of Dynamite?! Just remember, you play with Dynamite the wrong way, he's apt to explode!  JD: Josh came on to share his knowledge of top secret U.S. government microbe projects. Marchese had technical issues, and I was shitting myself throughout the show. Are these isolated incidents or a conspiracy to stop us from speaking the truth? WCM: We talked about microbial horror and how video games are coming up with new and exciting horror stories. One airborne horror tale is The Last of Us.  JD: Microbial Horror? What's so scary about something that some GermX could kill? I thought that, too. But Josh showed me the light. You can run from Jason but you can't run from super AIDS. WCM: Jessie proposed to me. Oh come o...

Another Friday has come with more thoughts for the week. I could put together a blog of all these thoughts.... Well, the most pervasive thought this week, at least, is age. I just turned 40 this past June and I've been thinking a lot about it--seeing all the young writers on Twitter. We are all in a race against time. When you're young, you put things off--procrastinate. As you get older you realize time is precious. When you really start getting up in age, you kick yourself for having wasted all that precious time. You want to jump and kick-start things into gear. You may start to worry, sometimes panic. It's time to get your act together. But is it too late?  As the saying goes, it's never too late. Right? Well, it's all perspective. There are writers now who start at a very young age. And yes, you say, they can't know too much about life, right? Well, just as robots can mimic life, these kids are prodigies who can mimic experience. They read. A lot.  I kn...

WCM: This week's show we had no guests on, but we did some soul searching about the animosity that had built during the week due to me walking off the last show, and came to amends. It's just not worth it. Boothill can't fill my...well...boots. JD: Yes, the beef between me and the Dynamite was settled, at least for now. With Amazon almost hitting Deadman's Tome with the ban hammer, we realized we have bigger fishes to fry. Amazon lost their shit over the content in No Safe Word and claimed that it is offensive. At the same time, Amazon allows family friendly titles like Chain of Shit and Lust for Dinosaur Step-dad. The hypocrisy is just too thick to ignore, and j intend to remind Amazon that they're full of shit! Check out the new show called Fuck Amazon. You'll find it on Spreaker and iTunes.  WCM: George Romero dying has been a big downer for many horror fans. We lost a great mind in the horror industry. He will be greatly missed. R.I.P. JD: Romero passe...

Has this movie revitalized zombie movies? Or is it just that, another zombie flick?  Well, the differences Train to Busan , directed by Sang-ho Yeon, staring Yoo Gong, Su-an Kim, Yu-mi Jung and Dong-seok Ma are  in the nuance and the the intricacies that come from it being a foreign movie. Then there are also the heartfelt moments towards the end. T he characters are sturdy and have been built well. They do what they are supposed to do.  When you have a movie that's tackling a trope such as zombies, there is the main subject, being the zombies, then there is the story-line that runs along side to show you that subject. You are seeing that subject through a snapshot of life as it plays out--from that perspective.  It could be a man who works so hard and has no time for his daughter and has to take her to see the mother, as in Train to Busan , or it could be a whole bunch of individuals who are trapped in a house fighting off the undead, as in the original Night ...

This Friday I'm thinking about a plane ride I have to go on soon. It's easy to fall back into safety and false protections in life. Not wanting to venture out and live life. People are afraid to fly, to walk the streets even. This is amplified lately with the crazy stories on the news every day. But if you think about it, nothing would get done if you didn't take risks. Just think, if you die tomorrow it's over. Finito. Yes, you had that safe planning, thinking you are going to life nice and old, but the truth is you never know when that day is coming.  You have to go out and live.  Dream. The life dream. Some give up fairly easy. Comforts in life and wanting to see the next episode of Game of Thrones can people weak, not focusing on what matters. And don't get me wrong, you could like that stuff, love that stuff, you could look forward to those things--but to have that the zenith of your week, after having made someone else's dream come true at work, seems a ...

WCM: First and foremost, is the Dynamite gone for good this time? For those who haven't heard yet, The Dynamite left the show abruptly due to someone flexing their bullying, corporate muscle. It's censorship of fart soundboards...  JD: The Dynamite got salty over being told to cut the sounds. There was a moment where the conversation got real, very real. It would be too petty for Marchese to leave over Sound board, I think Mistress Rosie made him cry. She was fast in putting him the corner and pulling out her strap on!  WCM: Of course, what was thought to have been a wild and crazy dominatrix turned out to be a human being with a real life and unfortunate past. I feel terrible about that, and just want to say that by standing up for my fart board freedom I was in no way downgrading the terrible past that this woman had. I feel sorry that the feud with the Deadman industry had to drop at the time it did. But sometimes good things spawn from bad. Just like roses from manure....

Once again it's Friday and I find myself here in this Cafe with my flatwhite, leaf creamily waiting on the surface for caffeine-yearning lips.  We find ourselves at many places throughout the day, week, year, lifetime. One may sit and drift, thinking upon what their meaning in life is. So many people in this world, what are you here for? Some will shake their head and go in with their day, go to work where they'll do the same thing--possibly with minor shifts throughout--until they (hopefully) retire and then have nothing to do with themselves--unless they take up some "hobbies."  This is, for the most part, fine. A lit of these people are mothers, fathers, grandparents etc. They do serve a purpose. But what abiut that which burns deep down inside? What abiut that nagging voice that warns, "if you wait too long!"  I've heard that voice throughout my life and I'm listening and doing something abiut it. It sort of feels like that part in the Matr...
