Almost done with N.K. Jemisin's The World We Make.

Also reading the fourth John Dies at the End book.

And listening to Why We Sleep.

Also they sometimes sell refurbished Encores on their site for a discount. But honestly new, they're still very reasonable. My refurb looked brand new and has been serving me well for 2 years.

That's one that falls under the "not strictly comedic" but omg if I didn't burst out laughing at Justin Long's character several times. It was directed by one of the guys from Whitest Kids U Know and I think that shows through occasionally.

  • Revamped - a very bad vampire movie written by, directed by, and starring the same man
  • Death Bed: The Bed That Eats - a horrible 70s horror movie with a very literal title
  • From Dusk till Dawn

I'm also including some movies that are horror comedies that are actually good and fun on purpose in case those strike the same chord with you. Some aren't strictly comedic, but I think they're all fun.

  • Cabin in the Woods
  • Barbarian
  • Get Out
  • Housebound
  • Slither
  • Tucker & Dale vs. Evil
  • most of the Evil Dead movies
  • You're Next
  • Pearl
  • The Guest
  • Shaun of the Dead / Hot Fuzz
  • What We Do in the Shadows

One of these curious little dudes licked my foot! I don't think he realized it was attached to a person, because he looked up afterward and got startled.

I also have a cow cat who sleeps like that. Not a care in the world.

Haha yeah I think they have some of the same writers but Cody gets a bit weird with it (have you met Warmbo yet?)

Glad you like it!

Some More News - a disheveled and sarcastic anchor does a deep dive into a current topic

Contrapoints - an ex-philosopher does a really deep dive into a topic (sometimes a concept or a phenomenon, sometimes a particular person or event), with incredibly high production value and costumes. Unfortunately this means she only puts out 2 videos a year, but they're now usually 1-2 hours long.

Podcasts - some have YT channels, but often no video, so if you're looking for something to watch, this may not be helpful

Behind the Bastards - a deep dive (often 2+ hour+ episodes) into different historical or current terrible people

5-4 - a podcast about why the Supreme Court sucks

Maintenance Phase - two journalists talk about various health, diet, and wellness scams and misconceptions

If Books Could Kill (no YT channel) - Michael Hobbes from Maintenance Phase and Peter from 5-4 talk about "airport books"--bad pop science books

You're Wrong About - Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes (until late 2021) talk about pop culture misconceptions, everything from O.J. to the Satanic Panic to Iran-Contra and more.

Is there an Android app that will display both the post and comments in-app? It seems like all the ones I've tried can display the images/posts, but will send you to reddit if you want to read the comments.

Ones I've tried:

  • Feeder
  • Feedly
  • Plenary
  • Flym
