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 mustache

2025/03/07

Floating adrift on tattered raft, surfacing the blue-into-black abyss, eyes scan nightmare heavens, hoping for a sign. In the distance, the galley awaits. Behind, the colony. Pulled along an incomprehensible current towards the unknown, hands clasp tight into prayer. I want to believe. "The men you've been seeking are the progeny of two original visitors, clones who have been attempting to establish a colony here since the late 1940s."

Grant Morrison - New X-Men #146-154

Xtinction Agenda ·

2025/03/01

The cartoon world of No Girl sprawls rotten, cable-ridden among dislodged monuments, a landscape of fouled water and lonely souls. Here a mutant death machine towers over young lovers, jealous and drowning, pulled by the riptide of its broken heart into the trench of darkest despair. The hope of this world can only be found in a forsaken union and in the blessed release of fire. "The supermen fight and die and return in a meaningless shadowplay because we make them do it."

2025/02/21

Shakespeare is not the source of the phrase "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." But don't tell that to Bill Jemas. Walk silently through the halls. Keep your head down. Don't talk back. Keep your job. Keep your job. Keep your job. The rains will come. Just wait. And don't talk back. "...and where would we be without a laugh?"

Frank Miller - Batman: The Dark Knight - Master Race

2025/02/13

The lies travel from big fight to big fight, hiding right before our very eyes. Is he or isn't he? Can she or can't she? Do they or do they not? Watch carefully. Ask yourself: where is the ball? Something dangerous is being made safe again. Profitable. A Dark Knight is made to truly return. "Car? That's a relic!"

Fede Álvarez - Alien: Romulus (2024)

Xtinction Agenda ·

2025/02/07

Hallway audio like a fun house welcomes us to Renaissance Station. Here they were seeking solutions to the problems of peace and war. 3D printed rape crabs. Black Lovecraftian goo. What more would mankind need to ascend? Dig, horrors, dig, and die for the Company. "Leave her alone, you bitch."

Ridley Scott - Prometheus (2012)

2025/01/24

The forearm flakes black like burnt paper into the wind and into the river, seeding and plumping molecules into adventurous life. Come find us, the caves say, run through the night and dig up our tomb. Our hands crafted you but our voice cannot be heard. Nor our final judgement. But you can guess. "Why do you hate us?"

Sam Kieth - Aliens: Earth War #1-4 (1990)

2025/01/16

Great beast, black carapaced and limbed, hiss and spit for us this continued acid drama. Rise from your grey silt, beetle humped, and give us your bloody tale. Let our lungs touch and entangle in the breath of this swamp. Your mother needs more time on the stage and we have little on the page. Ideas man, quick. Give us an ending oily and slick. "That's right. Come down and have a look--"

James Cameron - Aliens (1986)

2025/01/10

Let thunder awaken the senses and fire burn away calm. Raise the palisades against these nightmares, for we are now soldiers turned victims. Victims of weak willed men and rapacious rogues. Victims of nature itself. Like the one who crawls along the beach, dragging their lost limb, let us call out for mother. She is our only hope. "What do you mean *they* cut the power? How could they cut the power, man? They're animals!"

Ridley Scott - Alien (1979)

2025/01/04

Slithering reptilian shadows turned to bone and left in the dark for fools to blunder into. Mother knew the meaning. She knew and she did not care. Through her, the Company scrapes the stars, a troubling cosmic dragnet that this time turned up something that could not be contained. "It's almost primordial."

True loss is wordless. Vengeance is pure. We are all grieving fathers driven into torn flesh isolation, garage drunk and cursing inflation, plotting our cold, bloody revenge. Prepare the stunt car and fill pistols with tears. Santa Claus arrives early this year. (newspaper ripping)

Grant Morrison - New X-Men #139-145

2024/12/20

We are enfolded in the hot white wings of the red phoenix, journeying into small worlds of pressure, passion, and forced evolution, the thin tendrils of tiny machines licking the flames that power our pathetic lives and make us weep. Is this everything? Our purpose? Beyond the infinite rock that surrounds this cave, what truth is there? Red and claw catastrophe looms. "Scott my friend...how can I help?"

Trailer Park Boys

2024/12/14

Sweet small crime hustlers of Sunnyvale, they of foiled scams, driveways of hash, a daily menagerie, a misfit cast. Theirs is the land of lost souls who lost nonetheless impose their will, trapped in the churning grind of statute mill, self-representing, shameless and still. Within this park under camera lens they scheme and trade the day away until such time as law doth raid and bring the boys from their trailers hence to prison quick to serve sentence.

Wolverine: Origin

2024/12/06

Everything is fine until, inevitably, the gnarled bone of infidelity protrudes into the world and blood drips onto the pages of your life. You will forget your sniveling soft manor and soft father, replacing them quickly with a man who will take from you your love. You will be made in a camp and let loose into the wild, betrayed by forces that you never had a hope of understanding. "My name is Smitty. Remember it well."

Mike Figgis - Leaving Las Vegas

Drunk numb stumbling Ben burns his life away to drive into oblivion. The tarnished angel he finds along the way dotes lovingly. She is a caretaker for the walking dead, captive to their gravity. Grey Ben, resisting, married to the bottle, the hell of his life, singes the angel's wings. And, despite it all, in the end, she mounts him as he dies and says her goodbyes to the early morning light. "Sera... what you don't understand is - no, see, no. You can never, never ask me to stop drinking. Do you

Grant Morrison - New X-Men #131-138

Xtinction Agenda ·

2024/11/23

Awoken from the slumber of illusion by the apparent loss of apparent family, the young man of genius curdles. He boners after wisdom and sex and starts a gang to get it all rolling. Rocks fall. The school is shattered open. And a young woman loses her life. Time for a cover up. Note: there is about two minutes of mild static feedback around and about the 55 minute mark. Our apologies. You'll hear us catch and correct it. "I'm only twenty-seven, you ungrateful wretches!"

Ti West - Pearl / Maxxxine

Xtinction Agenda ·

2024/11/16

Buried in the basement those secrets and horrors, haunting the dream of the star. Tall confident pride falls piteously or ascends to the meat grinder, that glorious hill with letters held firm by twigs. "No, I'm a star! Please, I'm a *star!* Please, somebody help me! Please help me! *Help me!*"

Ain't none a ya gonna tell Cameron Poe that this wasn't a fine, fine film, for sure. Them criminals like Garland Greene and Cyrus 'the Virus', they ain't nothin' but animals needed ta be put back in dem cages. I surely needed ta see ma sweet sweet hummin'bird again and ta hold ma dawta in the rain. But first I had to do what was right. "Put... the bunny... back... in the box."

Spawn #350 / Batman-Spawn: War Devil

Xtinction Agenda ·

2024/11/04

The Spawnometer is petering out, the gates of Heaven have collapsed. Night is given a choice: let creation fall under the thrall of sin or rule the cursed realm for an eternity. In the end, it wasn't really a choice, was it? Now the dead zones must cover the Earth. This changes everything. Just the same as before. "You're the one that won't be leaving."

The Monster Squad (1987) / The Predator (2018)

Xtinction Agenda ·

2024/10/25

Two ways to kill a Predator. The first way: silver bullet. The second way: throw him out a window onto a bomb. To finish the job, add childhood bullies and inappropriate language. If you are killing a Predator in 2018, make sure that you add a tough-as-nails, know-it-all female protagonist. Make sure also that the male protagonist is not impressive in any way. In fact, have it so the plot can only move forward if he stops mid-action to take a dump. "Get to the choppers!"
