416 | The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939)

Michael, Rob, Pax, and Jacob gather one more time in Dartmoor to discuss the first Basil Rathbone Holmes film: 20th Century Fox's The Hound of the Baskervilles. Last month we talked about the Hammer version from 1959, so we do some compare/contrast to that as well as the Conan Doyle novel.

414 | After Dinner Lounge – Yeah It’s Not Scary Bro

Pax, Rob, and Michael talk about a lot of things in this first half of this month's lounge: The Rise of Skywalker, Wonder Woman on TV and in comics, Stranger Things Season 5, Stephen King and Maurice Sendak’s Hansel and Gretel, and Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, for example. 

We also talk about our good friend (and frequent podcast guest) William Bruce West, who - we learned the day after recording this - recently suffered a stroke and is currently in the hospital. We hope and pray that he’s going to be okay, but in the meantime, there’s a GoFundMe campaign in progress for Will and his family as they start to navigate the uncertainty of what lies ahead for them. We hope that you'll consider donating.
