OUT NOW! @thelastmachine.bsky.social joins to discuss Speed Zone, theoretically a third entry in the Cannonball Run series. Can three SCTV alumni save a film with no story or jokes? Why do we keep doing this? We think it had something to do with something called Carquake? Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

It's Slow Maude Sunday! In addition to his prolific work in genre fiction, Alan Dean Foster is also an avid wildlife tourist. He has faced down lions and tigers and sharks, but none of those creatures had read his books. Find out if his Maude manuscript will finally send Hannah over the edge!

It's Slow Maude Sunday! Maude's historic two-parter tackled abortion in November of 1972, preceding Roe v. Wade by two months and likely fueling some wildly uncomfortable Thanksgivings. Help us read its unpublished novelization!
