Finding Monster Right

Podcasting was always here. Even before humanity’s birth, podcasting awaited its coming. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.

TOMORROW YOU WILL GRAB THE SUN WITH BOTH HANDS AND DEVOUR IT. FOR NOW DO YOU HAVE MEDICINE YOU NEED TO TAKE?

Establishing a character is a villain with a warped sense of morality by having them read the New York Times

Remembering Morris. Black and white screencap from ALLIGATOR.

Rest in peace to a real one: Morris, the star of ALLIGATOR and many other motion pictures, has died at (at least) 80 years of age.

A night photograph showing a calm, foggy sea as seen from a ship. It appears that, in the distance, a lighthouse is beaming with a strange green light. Two of the stars appear to be under the horizon line. Are those stars?

A small fishing boat has crashed into a rocky shore. Around it, three large black fish with glowing eyes thrash in a hunting frenzy. Each of them has a long stalk in their dorsal fins, ending in a glowing green lure. Between them, a single hand rises from the water, trying to grasp for help that is not coming.

Lighthouse Mimics (Farimendax carolinae) are pack hunters that evolved from deep-sea fish.
When a ship passes by, a lone hunter uses its lighthouse-like lure to trick the crew into redirecting the boat, leading it to crash into shallow rocks. The stranded sailors become the pack's next meal.

Happy May the Fourth. Star Wars is and has always been political, anti fascist and socialist.

In the past, we’ve gone to bat for #StarWars’ most maligned comic relief, and polished the image of Jar Jar Binks:

Hi, Strata!

Momaw Nadon, an Ithorian who appeared in the Mos Eisley cantina scene in Episode Four, A New Hope. His flattened, curved neck projects forward before bending upwards at a 90 angle. His eyes are widely spaced on a hammerhead-shaped two-lobed disc.

Klaud, the caterpillar-like Resistance mechanic who appeared in Episode Nine, the Rise of Skywalker.

Salacious B. Crumb, Jabba the Hutt’s jester. He is about the size of a cat, with spindly limbs, a short black beak, and wide floppy ears.

The Jedi councilman Plo Koon. He has a wrinkled, fleshy face with two tentacles sprouting from either side of his skull. They are plugged into two sockets on a metallic breathing mask. The mask has two downward-pointing, mandible-like spikes on the chin. Koon’s eyes are covered by goggles with sieve-like metal mesh protecting the lenses.

#MayThe4thBeWithYou! Who is your favorite Glup Shitto?

As the murmurations pass by, rooftop snipers fire randomly into the air. From their perches atop roofs or in parked speeders, the hunters know each aimless blaster bolts will hit at least one bird. These “gutter squab” are one of the most popular street foods on the Capitol Planet’s lower levels.

At dawn, the smoggy Coruscant sun is blacked out by billions-strong flocks of pigeons descending on the city-planet’s continent-sized landfills.

Pigeons are now canon in Star Wars.
