The guys are joined by their good buddy Michael Simshauser to discuss Kurt Vonnegut’s 1961 short story “Harrison Bergeron,” and the 1995 movie of the same name, as well as the short film, 2018 from 2009. Colin still doesn’t like Vonnegut.

Michael: short story / short film / full length movie Colin: short story / short film / full length movie James: full length movie / short film / short story Seth: short film / short story / full length movie

And we’re back with another new episode! James is finally back in his house, and we’re on remote protocol, but picked a title we could all watch, and one we could do with Netflix Party! So that was fun. Bird Box, the 2018 movie, based on the 2014 book.
If you want to skip James’s tale of sailing all the way around South America, skip to 5:59. You jerk!
Rankings!:
James: Book/Movie
Seth: Book/Movie
Colin: Book/Movie
Colin with a COVID-19 improvised blindfold.
And now our Netflix Party chat. Warning, there’s literally no context to anything.

For April Fools’ Day, the Pavement Pounders once again do something out of the ordinary, looking to the future, to the announced adaptation of Frozen Hell, the recently uncovered/released expansion of “Who Goes There?”, by John W. Campbell.
James’s participation is somewhat limited in this one due to his looming vacation.

We didn’t realize that the stuff about Nerve Attenuation Syndrome would be so prescient when we recorded this a couple of months ago, but now it seems to be. Meanwhile, James is stuck on a cruise ship in South America (but he’s not sick).
So enjoy our brief discussion on a movie Colin inexplicably enjoys.
The guys are joined by Colin’s son, Peter Kuskie, to discuss Max Brooks’s excellent 2006 novel World War Z, and the movie of the same name from 2013.
