Congratulations to Tom Wayman for winning the 2026 Al and Eurithe Purdy Poetry Prize for his collection, Out of the Ordinary!

So glad we got to do this. Sophy's a brilliant artist, and the connections between BLUE HERON and NOT A PRETTY PICTURE are subtle and profound. Give it a listen, and see both movies.

Saskatchewan is going to clean up at Alberta's liquidation sale.

(10 years ago it would have been unimaginable that Richard Price would publish a book without me knowing about it. Today it is very imaginable.)

A graphic featuring The Booksellers' List selection sticker alongside the cover for The Coffin of Honey. Beneath these two images is a quote from Basil Sylvester, a bookseller at Flying Books: ‘Geoffrey D. Morrison's The Coffin of Honey is an existential romp and a heartfelt cry for an international humanitarian awakening. It’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind for our modern era. Morrison's command of prose and literary devices has me breathlessly awaiting whatever's next.’

The Coffin of Honey by Geoffrey D. Morrison has been selected for The Booksellers’ List Spring 2026!

I would do a ten movie series of Martin Beck around the world. Each book filmed in a different location with a different cast, but all leading to the explosive conclusion of the novels.

Two thumbs up for Dragnet (1987), i movie i also was crazy about but i was 10. (I think I saw all three movies in this episode in the theatre but probably not first run.) youtu.be/4LK5dxXp_y4?...

Deep Spelling

Beelzebubba is every bit as rich a text as Paul’s Boutique.

Reading a book on writing and there’s a section where they talk about how Aaron Sorkin is a master of the craft of putting art into the rigid formula of network television. I’m thinking, finally, yes, he really is. Then I realize I’m thinking of Aaron Spelling.

So yeah, in a way it is funny because it gives you a deeper understanding of a gag in this song.

I picked this book off the shelf at Buzzword Books in large part because it’s name checked in a Dead Milkmen song.

Adaptation but it’s about a writer who has to write a Marvel movie.

The MCU is just a bunch of guys Miserying themselves.

Triple Retrospective: Cullins/Lightle/Colón

After wrapping up my Giffen series, I had just enough in the tank to cover 3 more comic book artists worthy of a closer look. Super proud of this massive episode.

Put the kettle on and sit back, we got some heavies to discuss.
