I write about superheroes & robots • I post about pop culture

My podcast got 28 downloads this week. 18 of them came from Shell Knob, Missouri.

I don't know who you are, Shell Knob, but at 37% of my audience, you're basically running the show now. So you pick the next Def Rec episode — what should it be?

@GRCinemaTicket There are so many but somehow I’ve never seen Near Dark

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

Four trilogies broken. Not all of them were worth it. Which Part 4 earned its existence?

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

@J0hnADouglas I have actually never watched it all the way through either. Liked it enough, but always caught it while it was on TV in the middle and never thought to finish. At least I don’t recall ever doing so.

@jondelarroz What a cat-astrophe

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

@ThatChrisGore This is an odd and unexpected Russel Brand biopic but hey, I’ll be seated

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

@HouseOfHorrorCo I’m curious what old and newer fans alike think of these. The last Predator film I genuinely liked was with Danny Glover and Alien kinda stopped for with Resurrection.

@MTGraveStudio First thing that comes to mind is The Abyss 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

@HouseOfHorrorCo Trashure - I wouldn’t call it good but in the right setting, it can be fun

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

@DiscussingFilm An actual movie and not some lame Super Bowl ad or something? Well, belated sequels tend to leave a lot desired, but, hey, I’ll be seated

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

@mshat18 I remember liking it when it came out. I’ll have to rewatch to catch any Blade Runner connection

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

Yautja can be so cruel

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

Plurality in movies - more than one, twice the fun. Which is your favorite pluralized sequel?

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

An ongoing curiosity of mine is movie titling and the amount of effort that goes into some overly complicated to inexplicably simple film names.

How do we feel about pluralized sequels? That one “s” at the end opens up a whole new multiple world.

@arttavana If it wasn’t for ironic love, there’d be no love at all for Episode I

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

@hackermanjoe Sadly, this is true

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

@zachraffio Tbh the only weird thing is the musical bits apparently being hidden. Or maybe they thought it was obvious from the trailer(?). Either way, the bizarre nature of the marketing makes it a spectacle to witness

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

@iamdpassword Not sure Wood needs deaging

[Jon McBrine @jon_mcbrine]

@GigatronusPrime American Made is underrated but not over the top like Digger appears to be.
It’s been a while - was Cole Trickle southernized? Surely he was
