Torture Cinema Poll #1: Pick Our Next Movie

We all know that democracy and torture go well together, which is why we’re letting you decide which movie we’ll review in every edition of Torture Cinema from here on out.  We’ll rotate other movies into the list as selections are made, including other films you’ve told us to watch (thanks a lot, jerks).  New polls will follow after every new edition of Torture Cinema.

Question of the Week

Question of the Week: Which skiffy or fanty character would you cosplay as?

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never dressed up.  Everyone has a character they’d love to be, even just for a few hours at a fancy dress party.  Here are ours: Shaun Doctor Who (David Tennant or Matt Smith).  Why?  Because I’d look damn good in a bow tie or Tennant’s coat!  They’ve both got a wonderful sense of style (the characters, that is), and Doctor Who is a wonderful show.  What better reasons could there be? I rest my case. Jen So I’m totally not sexy enough to pull the character off, but I think I would have to cosplay as Blink, from the Marvel Universe.  Granted, the people at Marvel are total bastards and killed her off almost immediately after originally introducing her in the standard timeline, but she was seriously epic in the Age of Apocalypse timeline and was later reintroduced in the Exiles series…  She’s a pink-skinned elfin-eared teleporter, a la Nightcrawler, who can charge bolts that she shoots at people.  Oh, and I love her. If you were to cosplay any skiffy or fanty character, who would it be and why?

Podcast Updates

Important Note About Upcoming and Old Episodes

First things first, the episode has already been delayed by a week due to some issues with time for both of us host people. But the episode is now going to be delayed again because the host for our files is currently down.  We don’t know what’s going on, but if any downloads or streams do not work for you, it’s not because SandF is broken or defunct or what have you.  Everything is fine on our end.  Archive.org is simply experiencing some issues. So hang in there.  Episode 3.2 will be here as soon as I can get it up!  Thanks for your patience!
