You will be visited by three versions of the Dickens classic. Spoiler: A Muppet Christmas Carol is not one of them, but it haunts the ones we talk about like a lonely old miser on Xmas Eve

This time we talk about Sneakers (1992), an odd bookend to our previous episode, Hackers. Our world-weary team of cybersneaks and ne'er do wells don't want to hack the planet at all

We go all the way back to 1995 to talk about the stylish Hackers. Hack the planet, man!

Well. . . have you? We get together to talk about and - of course - riff on what's made us happy this Thankful Season Note: sadly, after quoting from it, I completely forgot to mention the title of the essay (link to follow): The Claims of Close Reading by Johanna Winant https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/the-claims-of-close-reading/

We discuss Zach Creggers' Weapons (2025). Part parental nightmare, part (sub)urban legend, and very unnerving.

What if was Conan the Barbarian. . .s? And both of him were lunkheads? We discuss this fascinating approach in this one

Pete returns to chat about this and that during that finest time of year

We cover both the Washington Irving story and Tim Burton's 1999 adaptation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - a story about the ghost of a Highlander terrorizing a small community

Imagine if you will, Meet Dave (2008) but if "Dave" was actually called Barry, lived in South Africa, and did a lot of drugs

Who knows what evil lurks under Alec Baldwin's prosthetic nose? Beats me, but we certainly talk a lot about The Shadow on this final (for now) Pulpside episode

This time around, we dig into the pulpy origins of one paranormal investigator by the name of Hellboy NOTE: We had some issues with the audio on this one, so please bear with us (and with many thanks to our sound wizard, Adam)

This time around we talk about The Rocketeer (1991), a movie that asserts that a jetpack future can be scary. . . if it's not in service to the old Stars and Stripes, that is!

We get together to chew the fat, see? All about this Dick Tracy fella

We kick off Pulptember with the recent classic of the pulp form with Raiders of the Lost Ark. You too could follow along. . . if only you spoke Jovitos

We get together to work out what exactly Miyazaki's going for in this dreamlike journey to the underworld story and wonder how DO you live?

We talk about Real Genius (1985), and the cool factor Val Kilmer brought to the whole thing. Safe travels, king

This time around, we talk about the absences that make up John Darnielle's Midwestern Weird novel

From Highlander animation to Highlander anime in this one. Directed by Ninja Scroll's Yoshiaki Kawajiri, one might expect it to be Highlander sleaze, but sadly no

More Highlander! A future and post-apocalyptic Highlander who goes by the name of . . . Quentin

We're fare-jumpers on Milo's journey through Dictionopolis, Digitopia and points beyond
