You ever watch a movie and think, "Fantastic! Best movie I've seen in a long time! Never show it to me again"? Well, if you have a few minutes, we'd love to talk to you about The Long Walk, the movie adaptation of the novel by Stephen King. We get into the performances by Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson, the movie's parallels to The Hunger Games and to our current world, and why it's important that the movie ended the way it did.

Sometimes your favorite show will break your heart, and not in a good way. The X-Files' 11th season began with an episode that left me disgusted. So much so that I have never revisited what had been my favorite show for over 20 years. Immediately after the episode aired in 2018 I wrote a blog post detailing what had turned me off the show. Does the blog post hold up? Will revisiting it lead me to feel more comfortable dipping my toe back into the X-Phile life? Join me on this week's episode to find the answers. The truth is out there but also here. As in...in this episode.
