    Happy October! I&#39;ve queued up 40 spooky/horror podcast episodes, starting with one on the history of the first movie #Monsterdon is doing this month (I love its reference to Diabolique; I saw that at the AFI Silver in DC years ago). Will add alt- text this morning when I&#39;m at keyboard.

    I shared the Gorgo ad sheet with Authorized Novelizations podcast (linking to the archive.org page), because they covered the novelization in September! Note, the novelization inserts a lot of stuff into the book. https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/authorized/gorgo-by-carson-bingham-w-tjrFD_HLTWS/ #Monsterdon #Gorgo1961 If you want credit, klu9, I&#39;d be happy to provide your Monsterdon handle to their Patreon.

    I listened to a 2025 episode of &amp;quot;Criminal&amp;quot; which discussed a legal precedent about who gets to decide who lives and dies, and the *process* for deciding that. https://thisiscriminal.com/episode-337-the-custom-of-the-sea-10-24-2025/ I was reminded of this post &amp;amp; article I recently boosted.

    RE: https://mindly.social/@JohnAutry/116926273112767248 I understand the Bastille Day celebrations. One good thing a King and a Bonaparte did, a day and some 37 years afterwards. Not Napoleon. His brother Joseph, who abolished the Spanish Inquisition and retired later to New Jersey.
