Hi, everyone!
We were lucky enough to interview Jon Dexter again! The creator of Alpha Dogs and Dime-Store Detective is back with updates about the Alpha Dogs Graphic Novel.
From the Kickstarter: “ALPHA DOGS features BUCK, a dog with the power to heal from most any wound, along with a heightened intelligence and strength. Although feared by the public due to his breed and size, Buck is determined to protect his loved ones along with humans and animals in danger. “
“Buck, along with his owner INA and a grumpy old pit bull who shares in Buck's powers have spent most of their lives on the run from BLACK ROCK, a cabal of mercenaries obsessed with exploiting the dogs’ abilities.”

In episode:
- Madame Web - Tim kind of enjoyed this movie but Ryan will NEVER watch it. Internet bullies beat this movie up before it even got to theatres, not a fair situation.
- Reliable Narrators website is live! Thanks to Kristi Keller for doing a fantastic job building our website!
- Tim and Ryan go through the chapter titles of their book -Toolbox Talk: Tall Tales and Legends of Pipefitters, Welders, and Other Dudes With Trucks
- Artificial Intelligence - should we be using it to create images? Don't know, but we've been playing with it. AI puts multiple extra fingers and limbs on people so it isn't quite ready to take over the world.

Avatar: The way of Water has taken the world by seastorm. But does this movie really deserve the accolades? Is it possible that it actually sucks, but everyone fell for the hype?
Here's our take on Avatar 2. We also take a look at The Menu, and order an American-style cheeseburger to go.

We've covered sequels, prequels, reboots, and remakes. What does that leave? Spinoffs!
A bad spinoff is just like nipples on a suit of bat armor- highly unnecessary and a little disturbing.
Did you know there was a spinoff from The Dukes of Hazard? How about The X Files?

How many Spidermans does it take to clean the cobwebs out of that hard-to-reach corner, above the bookcase? One!
This is our take on the Spiderverse: Past, present, and future. It's safe to say we will see more Spidermans soon.
Spoiler Alert! Do we even need to mention that? Well, this will spoil all Spidermans everywhere.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife - the 2021 supernatural comedy film directed by Jason Reitman.
Jump into Ecto 1 and hang onto your proton packs! We interviewed James Dalton, prop maker and cosplayer. James builds his own Ghostbusters equipment, and he ended up working ON SET!
He shared with us what it was like working on the props, behind the scenes. Between fabricating, 3 D printing, and jury-rigging solutions on set, he got to be a part of what made Ghostbusters: Afterlife a great movie.
James does a lot of fun stuff:
A member of Alberta Ghostbusters
Disposable Trooper at The 501st Legion
Jedi/Pilot/Clone/General Rebel Scum at The Rebel Legion

Hey, Discordianists - does this Fnord make me look fat?
The Fnords are all around you, but you can’t see them. These crypto-typographic elements are words that you have been trained from birth not to see, and hence you can look right at them without recognizing these twisted little bits of brain propaganda.
Find out about this and other tidbits from Discordianism, the religion that worships chaos and confusion. It's a real mind-frak!
