I bought a month of the Showtime add-on just to watch Murder in the Bayou. I’d recommend it to any true crime addict (I also liked the book), although I admit to having a personal bias as I moved to this part of Louisiana around the time as the series of murders was ending—I live a bit south and east of Acadia and…

When I saw their review of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” it nearly made me cry because I was so starved for anything, what’s that word, nice.

It was good! I’ve liked all of his books. His non-fiction book about the horror fiction boom of the 1970s and 1980s, Paperbacks From Hell, is also a fun read.

Me neither (with a few exceptions of super low-tempo sludgy stoner doom metal like Sleep’s Holy Mountain), and he totally made me understand why some people love it. Kind of related, I’m not really into punk but I love reading non-fiction about it, which is what We’re Not Here to Entertain is about; the full title is W…

Is it Harry Styles in a dress? Because I’d love to watch that Twitter meltdown. I got a lot of popcorn and free time.

If anyone knows what is “manly”, it’s for sure the man who’s never made any woman’s pussy wet!

She was also 100% unrepentant about any of it to her dying day. She was interviewed for the 2nd season of Slow Burn in 2018 and basically said she did nothing wrong and would do it all again if given the chance. I’m not crazy about the fact that she was mocked for her looks, but she was also mocked for being a…

Fun fact, Linda Tripp was the staffer who served Vince Foster his last meal: a cheeseburger and a bag of M&Ms. 

Currently reading Eliot Ness and the Mad Butcher by Max Collins, which deals with Ness’ post-Capone career as Safety Director of Cleveland. He had some surprisingly modern ideas about what police could and should be to their communities, which sadly was eventually overshadowed by his inability to catch (although it…

Do people buy vinyl online? I guess not everyone lives in a swamp where it’s 85°+ about 45 weeks a year (aka Louisiana), but I’m always afraid they’ll warp in transit. (Also I prefer to buy used records anyway.)

GarfieldEATS only launched last year

What really got me, right away, was the total lack of eye contact.

I thought he was a writer now? I know that second movie flopped pretty hard, but his first script was made into the English-language debut of Oldboy director Park Chan-wook and got pretty decent reviews.

I can’t imagine there’s much juice left in this old carrot, but the documentary looks like it’s more about the various weirdos and obsessives claiming their pawpaw was DB Cooper or wishing they were. Kind of like how Room 237 isn’t really about The Shining. This case rivals the Black Dahlia for people thinking their…

I live in Louisiana, and in a particularly deep-red part of it (Acadiana; our batshit former LEO Congressman who regularly tweets about wife # 4's prophetic dreams just got elected to his 3rd term). The people who voted for Trump voted for him because it gave them permission to hate the people they already hated.…

Ever since Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016, newspapers and magazines have been obsessed with constructing a mythology of a “forgotten” white working class through interviews at down-home diners and reportage from tractor pulls in deep red states.

Kenneth Copeland is a possessed Spitting Image puppet that has been moldering in a damp crawl space since Reagan’s second term.

Oh boy, this movie. Treadwell claimed to have some deep mystical connection to nature, but he really had no concept of the reality of it—at one point he weeps over a dead bumblebee—and seemed to think giving bears cute nicknames like “Mr. Chocolate” would inoculate him from that reality.

When Werner Herzog takes off the headphones and tells you “You should never listen to this tape, and you should destroy it so you’re never tempted to”, you should destroy it.

I’d seen photos of that living internet meme guy crashing the registrar of voters’ press conference but never the whole video. That was just *chef kiss*. He really did expect resistance and you could see him visibly losing steam and thinking “now what” when everyone just calmly waited for him to finish.
