Call It A Noirlodrama (Lions, Towers & Shields 135)

The son of a man convicted of murder faces bullying, then suspicion when he is accused of a crime, too. Directed by Frank Borzage, the film is moody, dark and a bit gothic. Dane Clark and Gail Russell are your leads, with a late-film appearance by Ethel Barrymore. And you’ll hate young Lloyd Bridges. Noir czar Eddie Muller calls Borzage ‘relentlessly romantic,” which is a huge contrast to this film, which Muller ranks it among his top 25 noir films.

A bit too much almond extract and a gas stove has given me singed eyebrows for the first time since I was a kid. My mom’s advice in these situations was always “don’t do that!” So helpful.

Stop placing text over images and pretending it’s a usable design, you bastards.

The quiz show of nerdery and nonsense returns! Host @dmoren and scorekeeper @lexfri challenge our two teams to divine means of telling the future, identify actors who played the world's greatest detective (not Batman), and untangle some mashed-up superhero songs. It's @mrssoup, Chip Sudderth, and @Shelly vs. @monty, @ScriptoriumGirl, and @TSindelar! https://www.theincomparable.com/gameshow/278/

Let's Lean into the Weirdness (Game Show 278)

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. This time around, our panelists must divine means of telling the future, identify portrayers of the world’s greatest detective not named Batman, and untangle mashed-up superhero song titles. Kathy Campbell, Chip Sudderth, and Shelly Brisbin take on Monty Ashley, Annette Wierstra, and Tony Sindelar in a battle of wits to the pain as host Dan Moren and scorekeeper Lex Friedman keep order.

Apple likes to say they don't look back, but they've been beta testing the 50th anniversary verbiage since last year, with the “40th anniversary of accessibility” stuff. I actually haven’t mentioned that in my pieces for Six Colors. It really is just a bullet point, and one that shrinks under scrutiny.

I so wish my @parallel podcast was still in production. I desperately need to explain how smart glasses with AI features for blind folks are exactly like Parsley text adventure games. #a11y
