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!

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.
