Now I’m positively intrigued.
This Might Be The Best Thing I’ve Ever Seen

Specifically for any bastards who read Conan the Barbarian books and comics, or maybe came of age around the time Heavy Metal was released.
Korgoth of Barbaria is a pilot episode for what was originally planned as an American animated television series created by Aaron Springer, a storyboard artist, writer and director for Dexter’s Laboratory, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Samurai Jack, and SpongeBob SquarePants … Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Dexter’s Laboratory and Samurai Jack, directed the animation for the pilot, and was not the only time he’s worked on a pilot created by Springer, as Tartakovsky also produced and directed Periwinkle Around the World.
It was first aired in the United States on June 3, 2006, at 12:30 AM (EST) on Adult Swim. On June 18, 2006, Adult Swim ran a bumper announcing that Korgoth of Barbaria was officially picked up as a series, because of its critical and commercial success with garnering high ratings. Later events, including a formal petition to revive the show and an Adult Swim bumper announcement mentioning its cancellation, indicate that it was dropped before production began due to high production costs.
Those Wacky Yugoslavians
Apparently their talent for album art rivaled that of their auto industry. There are far more online than I have time to pass along, but here are a few of the best (?).
Game Of Thrones Season 8
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Roger The Dogman Mask
Holy shit, how cool would this be?
Trick or Treat Studios and Warner Brothers are proud to present the officially licensed The Shining Roger the Dogman Mask.
Based on hundreds of images of the actual screen used mask, this is the ultimate replica of the Rodger the Dogman in the Stanley Kubrick classic, The Shining.
Sculpted by Megan Many, every detail of Rodger the Dogman can be seen in this incredible mask.
$59.99! Cheap! Get yours here!
Sociopaths Are Creepy
And this looks amazing.
Although I always feel a little icky about getting excited for these types of documentaries, like I’m a fan of Bundy’s or something. I’m not. This heap of shit killed at least 30 women. But the way he did it – and how he got away with it as long as he did – is fascinating.
Anyway, January 24th.
I’m In
Jordan Peele’s followup to Get Out.
Peele is also rebooting The Twilight Zone in 2019, but it’s only going to be available on CBS All Access. I need another streaming subscription like I need another doughnut.
Movie Crush Podcast
Not sure how you bastards feel about podcasts or which ones you fancy, but I’ve gotten into this one pretty hard in the last few days.
Movie Crush is an interview show where Chuck Bryant from Stuff You Should Know sits down with your favorite people to talk about their favorite movie. Simple enough, but what we get is much more than that. It’s a look at what makes a favorite thing, and why someone’s favorite movie says so much about who they are. More conversation than interview, Movie Crush, at its heart, is about the love affair we all have with the silver screen.
About the Host
Chuck is the co-host of the long-running Stuff You Should Know podcast. Born and raised in Atlanta, he spent time in New York and LA working in the film industry before returning home and eventually starting his career as a podcaster. Since then, SYSK has grown into one of the biggest podcasts in the world and Chuck has found himself as an “accidental” veteran of a new medium. In his spare time, Chuck likes to hang out with his wife and daughter and play in his “old man band” El Cheapo.
Recently, Chuck’s co-worker Casey joined him for a three part series on the genius of Stanley Kubrick. He and Chuck dive deep on Casey’s pick for part one, The Shining. Hit play and settle in …
Et Tu, Brute?
So, according to artists back in the day, getting stabbed during the Middle Ages wasn’t all that big of a deal. See for yourself…
High five!
These guys took “give no fucks” to another level. More can be found here…
Hope you bastards had a fine Thanksgiving. Makerbot makes a mean bird. Happy Cyber Monday!!
