A Movie Podcast for Dead People.
Our brother died in 2022 at the age of 42. Somehow, Ted and I have translated our grief into a podcast about movies; the show we wish we could have made with our brother Ian. Named after Ian Fagan's internet handle and favorite rhetorical idea (the Depot Devoid of Thought), we share childhood memories, and celebrate the terrible movies that turned us into the dreadful men we have become.
If you pass through the Magic Tollbooth and into Ferngully, up the slopes of the Mountains of Madness and through the back streets of Twin Peaks, you’ll find the weird library where they keep the map to the town where these paper mache characters live.
If you think Mad Magazine is too intellectual and Bullwinkle is too serious, these galleries hold the cure for your blues! Silly puns, cheap gags and barely-passable illustrated likenesses will keep your expectations low!
Do you like scary movies? Do you fight the urge to consume the antagonist because movie monsters look delicious? This special collection of masks is for hungry viewers like you!

See those guys? They’re butlers. Like most butlers, they’ve got super powers, magical abilities, and very little patience for evil. They are Hobbeson and Chives: Crimefighting Butlers in Love and Battle!

Many of these pieces are from my days as a zinester, and a regular at an open mic in Chicago, which makes them a little old. But they’re a lot easier to enjoy on the internet than the long, dreary, literary headaches I’m writing now.
My little brother’s ashes are in a wooden box. I paint clothes for him on canvas and dress him up like a paper doll.
You may think it’s morbid. Maybe you’re right, but he’s a good looking box.
From tornadobellies to Little Faces, this is what happens when you give me access to a couple of hundred tiny stretched canvases.
