Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #384: Duel in the Deep
If you haven’t been noticing a trend over the past few months, I’ve been writing about two series: Promethea and The Invisibles. The former was due to coming into a collection of the entire series s a result of some patient used book store-diving and the former because of what happened as I was reading through Promethea. The usage… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #378: Spasmo
For years, a movie has taunted me, begging me to give it a viewing despite my reservations. The image on the poster of a hand breaking through the head of a mannequin is disturbing enough, but what of the title: Spasmo. I suppose it’s a variant of spasm, a tightening of the muscles by forces beyond… Continue reading

McClurg’s Musicalia #175: Blooms
Sublime eclectic mayhem. That’s been my playlist project and musical life, one that begins with The Muppet Movie soundtrack and later involves performing hymns, death metal, surf, and bluegrass. I’ve played in theaters, tents, and basements, for multi-stage festivals and squirrel rodeos. I’ve written and recorded music for The Drunken Odyssey. Sublime eclectic mayhem. A… Continue reading

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #383: Counting Down
And somehow we’ve reached the end. Although, when it comes to something like The Invisibles and Morrison’s penchant for a meta-narrative twist that implies the story continues on into the future, we may never actually reach the end. But for what we as people existing in a relatively stable plain of existence can experience, this is the… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #377: Deep Red
I skipped Giallo Month last year in favor of a Bruce Lee retrospective, but we’re back. We’ll begin with 1975’s Deep Red from Dario Argento because it’s the movie that got most of us interested in the genre to begin with. For me, however, it’s the American cut of Deep Red put out by Blue Underground so many years… Continue reading

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #382: Two Shores
Few things can get into my mind to the point where I forget myself, and all of them are different songs that keep me up at night. Luckily, I don’t have to deal with malevolent psychic presences laying eggs in my subconscious that allow back-door access to all of thoughts, dreams, fears, and memories as… Continue reading

Video: Reacting to Mickey Mouse in “Jungle Rhythm”
The Drunken Odyssey is devoted to writing, generally, and the writing of capital-L literature, specifically, so why are we reacting to and commenting on Disney? In part, because John King can’t help it, and because Samantha Nickerson is indulgent. Continue reading
