What is a Palooza? It sounds like an episode of Kick-Ass Mystic Ninjas – – or what every other fking podcast in creation tries to be – – but it’s not.
We choose a film (or book or whatever) and rally around it for one dedicated episode (plus followups) full of opinions, reactions, discussion, original fanfic or artwork, or whatever comes up. Deadpan-style – – so no, it’s nothing like the 800,000,000 other podcasts that talk about geek culture stuff.

Past Palooza Topics:
Flash Gordon
Watchmen
Grosse Pointe Blank
Southland Tales
Repo Man

Text Unshow

And so here we have the first ever (and last ever) all-text Unshow. Welcome to Unshow #52. If there’s time in next week’s Deadpan episode, I will explain the recent Deadpan strangeness ’round here.

GO NORTH. EXAMINE ROOM.

Anyway, I have received most – but not all – of the 60 Lines Readings. If you’ve volunteered, I still need your 60 Lines readings – – or a notice that you can’t make it, please!

I also need your hockey tunes (That also includes my song requirement due to the Phoenix Coyotes’ loss at the hands of the Detroit Red Wings. cough). I think we’re just about ready to shut down this meme.

I promise to say this joke aloud on the next audio episode (remind me), but I figured it was somewhat timely and couldn’t wait a full week:

Why is there an arrow on top of the Airbender kid’s head, pointing down at him? Wouldn’t it be funny if the arrow said, “I’m with stupid”?

It will be funnier when spoken aloud.

Why sure, climb into my spoon:

Jack Mangans Deadpan #169: Relax

Original title intended to be “Except I’m Not”, but then I recalled the apostrophe strangeness in the episode names, and went with “Relax” instead.
