Heeeeere's Johnny! Aaaaaand Bekah. This episode's featured tomes are Michael Cisco's Black Brane and that giant Taschen book about The Shining we teased last month. So basically it's time for a lot of reality-bending...

This month, Not Great, Bob takes on a subject that is near and dear to our hearts: movies (and tv shows—but mostly movies) that are made with a prankster spirit or that troll the audience to some degree. Some do it by...

Apologies in advance if this episode BENDS YOUR MIND, because we're talking about the uncertain realities of such books as Mona Awad's Bunny and All's Well, Michael Cisco's Black Brane, and Atilla Veres's The Black...

Bob and John train their eye beams on the last episode ever of The Boys, all the better to talk about both the finale itself, and the series as a whole, until their heads explode. It's gross.

The Boys is wrapping up its fifth and final season on Amazon Prime, so there's no better time than now to spin theories about where exactly this boundary-pushing, darkly funny superhero saga has been taking us. Then, we...

Bekah Eaton is back for another round of book chatter, and this time we’re trying not to say the word “interesting” so much! It’s very unsuccessful. Even so, we manage to wrap up our discussion of Margaret Atwood’s The...

Welcome to the first episode of another monthly sub-series here on the FYIZ feed, a free-range chat with filmmaker and podcaster Bob Rose called Not Great, Bob. Each installment will focus on comedy or movies or culture...

We're kicking off a fresh batch of FYIZ episodes with something new: a monthly check-in with Bekah Eaton where we discuss the books we've just finished reading, the books we're reading now, and the books we plan to read...

This emergency podcast exists purely because the first season of Alien: Earth ended and there was too much to talk about. Thankfully Bekah and Jonathan Eaton heeded the call and brought their own torrents of thoughts...

Longtime musician/current Jungian Depth Coach Orenda Fink's emotional and acerbically witty memoir, The Witch's Daughter—all about her fraught connection with her troubled mother and how that relationship affected her...

This is an exciting one! Multimedia artist Landis Expandis sheds some light on the inspirations and irritations that led to Landis Harry Larry's brand new glitch-pop EP, FKIN WITH STUFF, out now on Big Curve Music.

In this FYIZ Halloween special—which is actually the lost, final episode of SKEERT - A Real Horror Show—beloved guests Bekah Eaton, Jonathan Eaton, and Chris Zaleski pop over to read some spooky stories from a scary...

Friend of the show Polly Schattel is back to talk about her darkly comic novella 8:59:29 (Trepidatio Publishing), and we dig into every aspect, from the origins of the idea to the narrative implications. Along the way...

This episode is an epilogue to Saul Searching, the Better Call Saul (BCS) recap podcast that ended last year (along with the show, which only makes sense). Now that the whole six-season run of BCS is up on Netflix, it's...

Prolific author Jeff VanderMeer (The Ambergris Trilogy, Area X, Borne, Hummingbird Salamander) has a knack for creating engrossing and immersive scenarios that straddle the line between a world that is palpably our own...
