Captain America panel from a 1990 Daredevil comic

I got to talk with Jeff about the rules violation during the pregame that resulted in both Jason and MC entering the game 12 hours before #Survivor 49, and why the new era has so many alternates go on to play: parade.com/tv/jeff-prob...

Kiss Cams have been in the news lately, and I was interviewed for this article (as an academic, not as a kiss cam participant…) A few quotes made it into the final piece www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Out now - My conversation with @jdarowski.bsky.social for Dueling Genre's Protagonist Podcast. In addition to stories about Gray Barker, we talked about narratological aspects of UFO accounts, and how the culture surrounding the paranormal guides, shapes, and changes the stories that it tells.

Just in time for the 25th anniversary of #Survivor, Survivor: A Cultural History has been published It has a lovely cover blurb from @amikebloomtype.bsky.social a.co/d/8h3NlNJ

Let’s take the welfare of humans seriously first

On The Protagonist Podcast, I had a great discussion with Ryan North about his Fantastic Four comics

I was a guest on the Dueling Genre podcast to talk about one of my favourite subjects: Alicia Masters! (In particular, her role in issue #19, our noir issue in which she's a blind noir detective.) You can listen here: duelinggenre.com/pp539/

Can we all just ignore April Fool's Day this year? Parsing reality from absurdity doesn't seem fun anymore.

Multiple Survivor references were made on the latest episode of Abbott Elementary including: Natalie Anderson Michele Fitzgerald Boston Rob Sandra Diaz-Twine Cirie Fields Yul Kwon And the love ones episode of Heroes vs Villains #Survivor

#Survivor fans: If Justin had trusted Cedrek enough to tell him that he lost his vote before tribal council, maybe he would have been saved... Survivor gods: Let's show them what would happen if an ally trusted Cedrek enough to tell him they lost their vote before tribal council...

Well, looks like Vula is the cursed tribe no matter who is on the tribe

The reaction of the new tribe members to the Vula camp was amazing. Everything I wanted. #Survivor

New #Survivor48 #WhyXLost is out! Justin had bad luck but that doesn’t explain all. Cedrek stood by him twice, what did he miss at the end? @jessicalewis89.bsky.social & I are joined by @jdarowski.bsky.social! At #RHAP, we know #Survivor & we know Why Justin Lost: robhasawebsite.com/why-___-lost...

Check it out (and then go check out @voxpopcast.bsky.social and The Protagonist Podcast)! youtu.be/A0WvkdG5Ug0

@thepressbox.bsky.social Is there a Headline Rule of Threes for mixed metaphors?
