"Treason in the Future Markets," Paul Krugman, 3/24:
"Are decisions about war and peace in part serving the cause of market manipulation rather than the national interest? If you dismiss this as unthinkable, you just haven’t been paying attention."

"An AI agent autonomously wrote and published a personalized attack article against an open-source software maintainer after he rejected its code contribution. It might be the first documented case of an AI publicly shaming a person as retribution." Read: www.fastcompany.com/91492228/mat...
You're not wrong. It is indeed Carl Kolchak himself, Mr. Darren McGavin :)
It would've been nice if our podcast had a holiday special, but this will have to do.

This is a lifemask of a famous actor, now deceased. Can you guess who it is?
Hint: He's buried in Hollywood Forever Cemetery, not far from Maila Nurmi.

🎃An episode of A Podcast From Beneath that's obviously appropriate to the Halloween season is our discussion of Director John Carpenter's 1978 film, HALLOWEEN, which is one of the most profitable indie films ever made, and inspired seemingly endless sequels and imitations...

🦇 HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS, the first film adaptation of the 60s soap opera, DARK SHADOWS, premiered in US theaters 55 years ago, in October, 1970. So now's a good time to look back at this episode of A PODCAST FROM BEYOND, in which we discuss the franchise's enduring appeal. youtu.be/A5xQyLnUdOc
Personally I'm not a fan of either company, but in matters of taste and artistic judgment, I think Netflix has the slightest edge over Amazon :)
Bezos should've thought twice before spending all that money for the rights to a character who is hardly ever seen without alcohol, tobacco, or firearms--or a scantily-dressed woman. His team is gonna have a lot of photoshopping work to do :)
Glad you liked the discussion, Bob. The altering of the Bond images was pretty silly and stirred up a lot of unnecessary controversy. Though it was Amazon actually. The folks at Netflix might've had more sense :)
🎃As we head into Halloween season, a look back at one of the most Halloweenish movies I can think of... Plan 9 From Outer Space, the masterpiece of Ed Wood Jr, whose 101st birthday was celebrated on October 10th...

Let's Scare Jessica to Death was released 54 years ago, on August 27, 1971, so it seems like a good time to revisit this episode of A Podcast From Beyond where we discuss the film Stephen King called "one of the best ghost stories ever filmed" 👻

Is it the worst movie of all time? Or the most entertainingly bad? Can anything be said about it that hasn't already been said?
Carey Vickers and I look back at the crowning achievement of schlock maestro, Edward D. Wood, Jr: PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (1957)...
