On Conan O'Brien's Podcast the other day, the gang answered a question from a fan about whether they'd created the show with the classic radio lineup of “Dick, Dork and Dear”.
I'd never heard of it, and neither had Conan and company. But apparently, morning radio ...

The Morning Wack Pack Trio
Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 28, 2024We gonna be awright?
Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 25, 2024
Nothing really coherent occurred to me to write about this week, so here's a little ramble…
I was watching a little interview with an actress who was a lot more candid than most. She talked about experiences with some famous performers, and she had some things to say that ...

Webcomic communities have different cultures, but why and where do they come from?
DD's culture is pretty chill, we're reasonably neutral and accepting of a wide range of ideas and perspectives, we're egalitarian to ...
Shmuck Bait
Banes at 12:00AM, Feb. 9, 2023
Shmuck Bait is the name, I think coined by one of the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul writers, where a cliffhanger or shocking ending leads the audience to believe something major has changed. For example, the appearance that a major character has died. But when the next episode/issue/book ...
The Truth Is Out There... in Fiction
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 13, 2022
We like to say that sometimes (especially these times) reality is stranger (or more ridiculous or outrageous) than anything one can find in fiction. And while I do think that this holds true on so many occasions, I also think we're being unfair to how much of the human ...
And In the End...
Banes at 12:00AM, Dec. 30, 2021
In the behind-the-scenes interviews about the show “Seinfeld”, Writer/Creator Larry David talks about the ending of an episode, I think it's “The Marine Biologist”.
To sum it up, the show is about fairly normal-yet-eccentric antics of the four characters, including George claiming to be a marine biologist to ...
Franchise Follies
Banes at 12:00AM, Aug. 19, 2021
It's a strange thing in recent years that following the behind-the-scenes craziness and
mixed-disastrous results of modern franchises is far more interesting and entertaining than anything in the movies and shows themselves.
Now that the fandoms, including those who enjoy the new chapters of beloved franchises, hate them, or ...
Twitter, outrage and the nature of parasocial interactions - A case study
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, April 16, 2021
Buckle up. This is going to be a dense one.
Social media dominates our lives. In the webcomic community, content is generally in the form of comics, however, we have podcasts, YouTube videos, Instagram accounts and of course Twitter. We immerse ourselves in the online world, broadcasting our efforts and ...
On Toxic Fans (for 2020)
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 4, 2020
So the third and final installment in the new Disney Star Wars trilogy is out. Personally, I haven't seen it yet, mainly because the mild curiosity I have can wait until the movie hits the streaming services.
Initially, it seemed like this final installment would be met with average ...
