Halloween 2025, Episode 5: With Great Power Comes… This?

31 Oct

October 31, 2025

We are ending the Halloween season the same way we started it- with a guy in a bar in a cheesy costume. Yup, it is another one from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Same episode.

There’s not much to say. Danny DeVito, really bad Spider-Man costume, Frank Reynolds. IYKYK, as the kids say. How about (dhf78? Do the kids say that too? That’s what I got when I randomly dropped my Twix on the keyboard.

Meanwhile, for those (none) of you who missed the old Sneak Peeks of the Week I did when I was, frankly, more interested in this blog, here’s the Sneak Peek of the Rest of The Year.

  • Pierre D. Duck will do something for Thanksgiving, probably.
  • Fonzie comes back with more stuff that is getting harder to find good pictures for.
  • Flash Gordon, an increasingly dated reference that fewer and fewer people relate to, will come back to our galaxy for New Year’s Eve.

Sneak Peek! Philo Vance Double Feature!

18 Feb

February 18, 2019

Coming soon, my reviews of a pair of mystery novels featuring S.S. Van Dine’s master detective, Philo Vance!

 

Philo Vance gets mixed up in murder with the zany radio star, Gracie Allen. Along for the ride is her husband, superstar George Burns. But all is not what it seems, not by a long shot.

 

 

The police are baffled, the District Attorney is stumped, and the press is calling for answers. Who killed famed singer “The Canary”? Philo Vance will get to the bottom of this classic locked room mystery.

——————–

Philo Vance is a fictional character featured in 12 crime novels written by S. S. Van Dine (the pen name of Willard Huntington Wright), published in the 1920s and 1930s. During that time, Vance was immensely popular in books, movies, and on the radio. He was portrayed as a stylish, even foppish dandy; a New York bon vivant possessing a highly intellectual bent. The novels were chronicled by his friend Van Dine (who appears as a kind of Dr. Watson figure in the books as well as being the author).
