I’m Putting on My Nicest Boxers Today!. Top Story - October 2024.
It’s 9.00 a.m. on Monday morning. It’s raining hard. I’m outside the back door, coat on, hood up. I’ve got the blue recycling bin tipped up at a 45-degree angle and my head and shoulders are deep inside it.

Repo Man
Repo Man is a cult camp classic from 1984, starring Emilio Estevez, along with a stellar lineup of character actors: Harry Dean Stanton, Sy Richardson, Tracey Walter, and Fox Harris. Fox Harris, in particular, is unforgettable as a crazed man driving around in a Chevy Malibu with dead aliens in the trunk. His character wears sunglasses with one lens missing, which somehow makes him even more unsettling. Harris, by the way, appeared in some truly oddball cinematic gems, like Stephen Sayadian’s Dr. Caligari (1989) and Fred Olen Ray’s Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988). If that doesn’t set the tone for Repo Man, nothing will.

Lung Story, Short
I’m not the Marlboro’ Man, but we do share the same cough. I imagine that Jake, Blue, Ted, Crudd, or whatever his name is, has - like me - long suffered from Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on account of all those softly-glowing, aromatic death sticks he looked so dependable and rugged gazing into the sunset with.

Kafka’s Cerebral Quandary: How a Bureaucratic Brain Meltdown Led to Publish a Neuroscience Video. AI-Generated.
It all began in the kind of office that could have been designed by Satan's least creative minion—gray walls, flickering fluorescent lights, and the distinct aroma of despair that permeated every cubicle. There I sat, hunched over my bureaucratic duties, a cog in the Kafkaesque machine. Irony, of course, was lost on everyone else. As for me, I was already on my third breakdown of the day, and it was only noon. I was certain my brain was plotting against me. Why else would it churn out the most distressing thoughts in the midst of mindless paperwork?

History of the World Part 1
Orson Welles opens History of the World, Part I with that iconic voice, delivering the kind of grandiose, overly serious narration he's famous for. But this time, instead of some high-minded historical documentary, he's setting the tone for Mel Brooks' riotous parody of history itself. The contrast between Welles' weighty delivery and the absurdity unfolding on screen is the first of many jokes in this film. Immediately, we’re introduced to a group of Neanderthals engaging in some very prehistoric frooging, bumping, and grinding. It’s a direct parody of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but where Kubrick went for awe and mystery, Brooks leans into the lewd and ludicrous. These cavemen aren’t interested in the mysteries of the monolith; they’re simulating a variety of sexual acts, reveling in crude humor, and setting the tone for the irreverent ride through history to come.

Which Should I Have First, a Hair Transplant or a Brazilian Butt Lift?
There used to be a hairdresser around the corner from us. She closed a couple of months ago. Today, I noticed a big sign outside the premises. It’s reopening as an aesthetics clinic.

Cannibal! The Musical . Top Story - September 2024.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone—two dudes who would soon become infamous for the unstoppable cultural nuke "South Park"—started their journey with this bizarre little project, Cannibal! The Musical. Now, if you’ve ever wondered what kind of movie two soon-to-be comedy titans make in college with a shoestring budget, bad wigs, and a bunch of snow, this is it. It’s crude, it’s cheap, and it’s completely hilarious in the most messed-up way possible.

You Are Such a Rude Person!
It’s a beautiful Friday morning and I’m out for a spin on the bike. On my way home, I call in to meet friends at an outside coffee station that sits on the banks of Belfast’s River Lagan.
