Merry Christmas From the Showcase!

Merry Christmas from your friends here at the All-New Showcase! I’m sure you all have a ton of things going on today, but if you’re looking for something to pass the time, I’ve got two little tidbits for you. First up, my all-new short story collection, An All-American Christmas, is now available on Amazon.com, and it’s totally free until Dec. 27! Download it to your Kindle or Kindle App and help boost my numbers a tad.

Second, here’s a gallery of geeky Christmas comic covers and other images, just something to flip through while you’re waiting for the commercials on your 17th viewing of A Christmas Story to end. Merry Christmas, everybody, and we’ll see you soon!

Episode 319: Star Wars-The Showcase Marathon

This weekend was the cultural event of the century, the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. To prepare for it, Blake and Erin spent a week watching and reviewing the first six Star Wars movies one-by-one, before finally finishing up with a massive spoiler-rich analysis of The Force Awakens. (Don’t worry, the spoilers don’t come until after they’ve discussed the other six movies.) In this extra-sized episode, they talk about everything they love — and hate — about the seven movies of the Star Wars saga.

And what’s cool this week? While Erin is still too enraptured by Star Wars to think of another recommendation, Blake is there to talk about the first half-season of CBS’s Supergirl and the first issue of IDW’s Mickey and Donald Christmas Parade.

At the Movies Episode 49: Krampus

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The lights are glowing, the chestnuts are roasting, and the demonic spirit of vengeance has arrived to wreak destruction upon those who don’t respect the spirit of the season. This week, Blake and Erin take a look at writer/director Michael Dougherty’s new yuletide horror movie Krampus. Is it a worthy addition to the canon of Christmas terror? How does it stack up to Dougherty’s new Halloween classic Trick ‘r Treat? And who the heck was King Wenceslas anyway? The answers to at least some of those questions lie in this week’s episode!

And what’s cool this week? Blake liked the first issue of 451 Entertainment’s new comic book Humbug, while Erin supports the abstract concept of courtesy. No, really.
