Better Than the Movie 35: COYOTE VS. ACME w/ Conor Holt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An underdog story both onscreen and in real life, COYOTE VS. ACME is a hybrid animation/live-action movie in the vein of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? or SPACE JAM. Its premise is simple and elegant: what if Looney Tunes' Wile E. Coyote sued the Acme corporation for selling him all those malfunctioning products that kept him from catching the *beep beep* Road Runner. Physical media and animation enthusiast Conor Holt returns for his third visit to the podcast to talk about the film, its wildly convol
SKYLIT: Jason Pettigrew, MINISTRY'S LORAH (33 1/3) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the most influential albums in the history of industrial rock music, The Land of Rape and Honey was the third album from Ministry. Warner subsidiary Sire Records may have thought they were getting the Chicago version of English electropop stars Depeche Mode, but Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker delivered something deeper, darker, and crazier. Music journalist Jason Pettigrew talks about the chaotic creativity that brought this album to life in his 33 1/3 book on the album. He talked to the b

(We do touch upon the new Netflix miniseries. Ahem... Briefly.) Spoi
SKYLIT: Tyler Sonnichsen, THE DEAD MILKMEN (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Best known for their catchy MTV breakthrough hit, "Punk Rock Girl," the Philly-based band The Dead Milkmen had a better sense of humor than a lot of their '80s hardcore punk brethren, but it didn't mean their music was a joke. Author Tyler Sonnichsen joins bookseller and writer Justin Remer to talk about Sonnichsen's new book for J-Card Press, The Dead Milkmen. It's the first book dedicated to this beloved band, deeply researched and full of new interviews with some of the band members and a lot
Better Than the Movie 33: SUPERGIRL (2026) w/ Sina Grace (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Kara Zor-El is teamed up with a young woman on a mission of revenge and salvation, it is clearly the GREATEST MOVIE ODYSSEY of 2026... er... well. Justin and Allan sit down to chat with fellow bookseller AND comics artist and writer Sina Grace (Superman: The Harvests of Youth, Ghosted in LA) about the recent film adaptation of the graphic novel Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, by Tom King, et al. That's right: we're talking Supergirl the movie, but not Supergirl: The Movie (1984). The Woman of
