I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream with George Heftler (Like Razorblade Pie)
Hey everyone, due to Valentines Day throwing off a lot of schedules plus an upcoming guest needing to reschedule, there's unfortunately no new episode of BLHHiP this upcoming Monday. So instead, I'm sharing this very fun discussion I had with Michael Swaim on his podcast "Like Razorblade Pie", which discusses the work of Harlan Ellison and specifically I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream!
Also, for patrons, there will be another Legal Thriller coming up for February - Thursday the 23rd at 10 PM EST for the livestream, with Nate and Dean from Nate and Dean Do A Stream! Like last time, this will be shared in audio and video form to patrons for posterity, but if you can make it to the live version, you can weigh in on the cases and help sway the fight.

The Last of Us Part II with Kevin Bartelt
UPDATE: THIS IS NOW THE FULL EPISODE.
----more----
Hi everybody! As a holiday gift from me to you, I'm releasing this preview of the Best Little Horror House in Philly Patreon - as I mention frequently at the end of episodes, the Patreon is a place where returning guests and I can talk about things that don't necessarily fit the criteria of "best horror movie ever made". Sometimes that's movies that are more interesting than great, sometimes its ranking stuff like our favorite Treehouse of Horror segments, but also, in cases like todays The Last of Us Part II with Kevin Bartelt, sometimes we talk about alternative media like video games.
They also tend to be a little looser - I did call this a preview, and that's what it is, because the full version of this episode is 142 minutes, continuing on to talk about the plot and themes of the game on a more beat by beat level, then summing up what makes the game so interesting. So if you enjoy it, consider signing up! There's a lot more of not just this episode but the bonus episodes I've been describing, extra commentaries, early access to normal episodes, and you can support the show for my active decision to not be forcing annoying ads upon you this whole time.
Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year too! Don't forget BLHHiP is going bi-weekly!

A flame is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, etc) and so is matter, but the light and heat produced by the flame are both energy, not matter.
