This Aminityville: The Podcast episode is, indeed, a cursed object.
Which raises the question: When we encounter a cursed object, what must we do? How do we confront the curse?
It’s gotta be together, man, there’s no other way.
Sixteen hours down. Nine hours to go.

I’m just now starting the Horror Vanguard Amityville episode(s).
I will listen to every second of this episode at 1x speed. How long will this consume my stereo? Stay tuned to find out.

Leslie was such an astute cultural critic and reviewer as well as a deeply funny guy. Was so happy we got to talk about David Cronenberg back in the day for a special double episide of Struggle Session and HV. A real loss - please chip in to the GFM if you are able.
i'm sorry to have to relay this, but Leslie Lee III has passed away. if you can help with his family's expenses, please read on. they need the help right now.

Peter Watkins: "What happened in Paris in the spring of 1871 represented (and still represents) the idea of commitment to a struggle for a better world, and of the need for some form of collective social Utopia - which WE now need as desperately as dying people need plasma"
Twice this year I've had the experience of watching a movie and realizing I'm watching one of the best films ever made.

We've had a medical event hit our family taking away our main income and I cannot get enough freelance and gig work right now to make ends meet. If you've ever enjoyed anything I've created, a quick SMALL tip would mean a world of difference the next couple months as we get our feet under us again

Bit late to this but it's such a clever piece of AI criticism, developing a literary critique of Sam Altman's auto-metafiction story as a way to explore the grave threats to the "intellectual infrastructure" of the humanities - and HE more broadly - posed by AI lareviewofbooks.org/article/lite...

So…I’ve finally reached the end of these 26 hours of this astounding episode. And, honestly, I’m feeling a little overwhelmed, maybe a little sad even. But I just went back to beginning and downloaded Episode 1: Black Christmas! Feeling a bit more normal already!
Fuck yeah! I’ve not listened to this yet but I’m starting ASAP. The Co-Ghosts once achieved the greatest accomplishment in human history (full stop) with their 9-hour review of every Halloween film. But it looks like this may vastly exceed that feat.
Happy Halloween! Episode 376 is now live! 12 hours into a 26ish hour review of every Amityville movie. soundcloud.com/user-3179105...
