A dead girl on a riverbank. A group of teen burnouts who know her boyfriend killed her. Nowadays, this would be the premise for a true crime podcast; in 1986, it was the premise of River's Edge, a teen drama directed by Tim Miller and starring Crispin Glover, Keanu Reeves, Ione Skye, and Dennis Hopper. …

Check Me Out on “Dial F for Flanger”!
Paul Hix (Waiting for Doom, DCOCD, The Gary Show) recently had me on his podcast Dial F for Flanger. Over the course of the show, I got into the background of The Uncollecting, my collecting habits, and we also talked about getting older and what's going to happen to our stuff after we leave. It …

I want to say that horror …
Starslayer #31-34
This is it. Four issues left in a run that I didn't think was going to go as quickly as it did. When I started Starslayer with Mike Grell's run, I figured that I would read a few issues here and there and eventually get around to the entire thing. But since leftover Badger comics weren't hanging …
