In Issue #1, the lyric sort of alludes to our new villain introduced here ... but is also a bit of a play on words (given the band behind the song).16 Sep 2026 21:49 +0000at://did:plc:tn5vcfgavmtxpbt2obdnrrvy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvo4lx7gcc2whttps://bsky.app/profile/dannybaram.bsky.social/post/3mvo3s7dfuc2i#NewComicBookDay-!

So happy that this awesomely strange horror-comedy got so much love tonight at the Emmys. Kind of amazing, don't know if it would have happened in years past. But the times are (at least a little) a-changin'. Was also super happy to see Rhea Seehorn finally get an Emmy! LONG overdue.15 Sep 2026 04:11 +0000at://did:plc:tn5vcfgavmtxpbt2obdnrrvy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvjqzik4zk2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/dannybaram.bsky.social/post/3mvjdfze3ac26TOMORROW: after many months of ups and downs and lots of hard work, the first issue of our Halloween Team sequel series, HALLOWEEN TEAM: SHADOWS, finally re-launches with a new special edition.

One of my favorite Batman stories in a while, and made great use of Green Arrow and Black Canary as well. Fantastic writing, incredible art. Highly recommend seeking it out if you’re a Bat-fan.14 Sep 2026 21:15 +0000at://did:plc:tn5vcfgavmtxpbt2obdnrrvy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvizrx2cws24https://bsky.app/profile/dannybaram.bsky.social/post/3mvhey3z4322nTHE UPRISING is a solid enough watch, but could have been great given the talent involved. Definitely felt like a few movies rolled into one. Personally I dug when the movie just goes full Robin Hood. The cast also helps elevate things. Garfield, Jarvis, Bell, Waterston, etc. are all excellent.14 Sep 2026 05:30 +0000at://did:plc:tn5vcfgavmtxpbt2obdnrrvy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvhey3z4322nhttps://bsky.app/profile/dannybaram.bsky.social/post/3mvf5774b7s2xFinally did a DollyThon, with first-time watches of THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS and 9 TO 5. The former is so entertaining and funny and full of charm. The latter probably shouldn't work, but somehow sort of does. Dolly Parton gives real movie star performances in both! A fun double feature.13 Sep 2026 08:06 +0000at://did:plc:tn5vcfgavmtxpbt2obdnrrvy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvf5774b7s2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/dannybaram.bsky.social/post/3mvebddmgtk2nToday I saw one of the best high holiday sermons I’ve seen, from Rabbi Sharon Brous of Ikar here in LA.

A really fascinating film that on one hand feels like a gritty, grimy, semi-sensationalistic crime story - but that also offers a somber, wounded vision of a post-9/11 NYC. Really enjoyed this one.12 Sep 2026 07:55 +0000at://did:plc:tn5vcfgavmtxpbt2obdnrrvy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvcm4qaq222lhttps://bsky.app/profile/dannybaram.bsky.social/post/3mvbmu32hws2k25 years since the horrific attacks of 9/11. Coincidentally the eve of Rosh Hashana, a time for new beginnings. For so long, the lesson of 9/11 seemed to be the value of returning to normalcy. But over time that mantra has felt increasingly manipulative. Now is the moment to create something better.11 Sep 2026 22:35 +0000at://did:plc:tn5vcfgavmtxpbt2obdnrrvy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvbmu32hws2khttps://bsky.app/profile/dannybaram.bsky.social/post/3mv7d27p46c22First press coverage of our HALLOWEEN TEAM relaunch, courtesy of the fine folks at @dailydead.bsky.social!

With all of the horrific things the Trump administration is doing, in retrospect one of the most consequential might be the complete lack of guardrails around AI development.

Truly, one of the most wonderfully insane films I have ever seen. It's got next-level action (the car chases in particular - holy smokes!), but is also incredibly funny and goofy and just weird as hell.

Wingard & Barrett are back with a pitch-perfect John Carpenter homage that is loads of fun. Adria Arjona impresses. Dan Stevens chews scenery.

My 4th time, 2nd with the original line-up. Axl's voice may be up and down depending on the song, but Slash is still the greatest guitar hero in all of space and time. And seeing them together still feels monumental.

Cooper Hoffman and Olivia Wilde are both dynamite in this, and the film is a funny, twisted, subversive sex comedy with a lot of pointed commentary about the mixed-up world we live in today. Very entertaining, very much a discussion starter. Definitely recommend.05 Sep 2026 07:29 +0000at://did:plc:tn5vcfgavmtxpbt2obdnrrvy/app.bsky.feed.post/3muqxffevtk25https://bsky.app/profile/dannybaram.bsky.social/post/3mupt5ns56s2dComing soon in HALLOWEEN TEAM: SHADOWS … Issue #1 out 9/15.04 Sep 2026 20:40 +0000at://did:plc:tn5vcfgavmtxpbt2obdnrrvy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mupt5ns56s2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/dannybaram.bsky.social/post/3muoasfeedc27This season was a slow burn but I will say, that SILO season finale had me captivated, and I’m feeling primed and ready for the next and final season.
