Xtinction Agenda

Xtinction Agenda isn't for everyone. It's a book club and a movie club and a place for people to talk TV and comic books. But nothing too new. It's a rough place where tired old dads tackle pop culture artifacts of the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s (mostly). Not a lot of hand-holding as a consequence. These are not introductions to pop culture but discussions about it. As such, we expect the audience to have some degree of experience. Basically then, if you're a hotdog and you're looking for a…

Bryan Fuller - Hannibal

He asks you to ask questions about yourself, All the while imagining a scalpel-sharp blade Severing your horizontal fissure, Soft pink cubes soon soaked in v inegar For ten minutes or more, Before washed, salted and spiced, Cooked and finally fried, A thin sliver of smile across his face. " You have to convince yourself the lion is not in the room. When it is, I assure you, you will know. "

Eric Larsen - Savage Dragon

The pressure of sex Bends mirrored love Like stone on spandex; It shatters it into thin sharp fragments, And then mends it, fitting glass madly, Until time and choice collapse. "Time to win some hearts and minds!"

Play

Matt Fraction and Jorge Jimenez - Batman #1-12

How cool is this comic? We didn't even talk about the costume re-design. The costume re-design was literally the least interesting thing about this comic. And that's not a slight. It's a cool re-design. A cool re-design in a cool comic. For cool people. Like you.

Patrick Swayze - Steel Dawn

Blue womb in barren sand, an endless supply of civilization. Soon the city will return to the nuclear wastes, born of nuclear love. All that now remains is a man.

Play

Alan Moore - Watchmen #11

Brain hemorrhaging cadaverine cephalopod stares, unblinking. Fearing crosshairs of world's grim end, it is released.

Play

Steven Seagal - On Deadly Ground

Like grease on your beard, greed flavours the rich man's every bite. He sniffs and snorts and rummages in greed, the rich man. Crawling, he seeks just one more thing to swallow and shit. Better to burn such a creature and leave its bones for the dogs. " Is this the one who's got you all concerned about the dirty snow? Jesus, Forrest! You and me, we bought hookers better than this for five bucks in…

Geoff Johns - Batman: Earth One Vol. 1

Within the predator, prey, survivor types fallen into the trash-strewn streets, guilt blossoms, a black flower with leather petals, seeding some simulacrum of restored hope and the promise of brutal revenge.

Play

Matt Fraction and David Aja - Hawkeye #1-11

Bro is just like us, bro. Sure he's an Avenger, and an adventurer and a ladies man, but--bro--underneath all of that, bro is actually a Zen slacker screw up. So it's okay for bro to like him. I mean, look at bro's relationship with his sidekick. That's a good dude, bro. The creators definitely aren't engaging in a high-end art rock Gen X nostalgia white wash of a shitty character, bro! "Hey, my…

Stefano Sollima - Sicario: Day of the Soldado

Smirking mini-van mother, self-aware, symbol of a fallen world, pockets the cash. Its getting so you can't even tell who the gangbangers are anymore. School yard bullies turn out to be lost, wounded princesses, needing saving. And soldiers know sign language.

Play

Peter and Bobby Farrelly - Kingpin

Stubborn rubber ring bearing hand strokes the veiny shaft, milking the bull, oblivious as hot cream pulses neighing into grey bucket. He is reminded of her yellow teeth. And yet he drinks.

Alan Moore - Watchmen #10

You know how sometimes people do that thing where they come at The Odyssey or whatever from an oblique angle? Like that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern shit? What I want to know is: what if we did that with Archie in Watchmen ? That rugged and loyal companion abandoned like truth in the snow. What was his story, I wonder?

Play

Paul Thomas Anderson - Inherent Vice

Hunkered down in cathode glow, cutting grass, dirty hippy hunter, "Doc" Sportello, Ponders the mystery before him, the tarot, And scrawls his prayer, a steadfast arrow. " Honey, make it quick. I got a live one tonight and I totally fucked up my face. "
