No, Scully, I don’t think the podcast is aired live, that guy just said “fuck.”

It’s a Tyler Bonanza as I’m on my third Glitterjaw show of the week!

Finally! At long last! My debut on Gimmicks to talk about a great Vince Gilligan-penned episode of The X-Files!

(No I still haven’t watched more Pluribus 🫣)

We unpack the long and upsetting history of the exploitative but hugely popular COPS, the apex of copaganda spanning decades, and how this Vince Gilligan-penned episode of THE X-FILES perfectly mimics it while also saying ACAB: gimmickspodcast.com

Two unexpected titans of the FOX network cross over -- one a fictional paranormal drama, the other a copaganda reality show about law enforcement. Somehow, it works!

@callupthedead.bsky.social from @fearcodedpod.bsky.social joins to talk about THE X-FILES becoming COPS at gimmickspodcast.com.

SKREEONK! Kaiju Bite Image of King Kong fighting Titan X Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season Two, Part One

A bonus Skreeonk on the currently airing season 2 of Monarch is out now on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/155205...

Talking traumatic time dilation, passionate affairs while a village tries to murder you, a tentacled sea kaiju with lil lice babies, and a straight-up Alias episode.

The Malcolm in the Middle reunion is genuinely good and surprisingly queer and the only thing I don't like so far is that there's no opening credits sequence

Sterling K. Brown explains the streaming economics of why we don’t get more eps

The loss of 22 episode seasons means we're losing out on the time honored tradition of "episode in which recurring character is suddenly turned evil via MacGuffin and now the actor gets to have fun"

The wonderful @gimmickspod.bsky.social does it again, with a show about The Drew Carey Show. Back in the day, Drew WAS appointment TV for me, and at a crucial time in my development. Knowing I liked big guys and being ostracized for it was difficult in my early gay life. Drew helped.
