I'LL MEND MYSELF BEFORE IT GETS ME.

I’m islapfloorposting again but honestly it’s the perfect episode in terms of comedy. Sorry. If only there wasn’t an entire decade’s worth of context you need to fully appreciate it.

There is NOTHING funnier than Regis!Richard’s evil monologue and multilayered maniacal laugh (with reverb! Nathan Carlson has a fucking SHRILL CACKLE and we NEVER hear that shit again 🥲, even the end of Waylaid in the Windy City 2 didn’t go that hard), the music swelling with evil chords, only to hard-cut back to the kids and Mandy deadpanning, “Who?” because all of this Lore™ means nothing to her. Absolutely impeccable. Kills me every time

You half-expect Bernard to complain that he wasted such a good twist on kids who don’t appreciate it. Like “R… Regis Blackgaard? You don’t- you don’t know-? Goddamnit I spent so much time just to have it fly over your heads *grumble grumble*”

anyway it still fucks me up that the episode is called “the homecoming.” this guy who had a short reign of terror in the local college exploiting students for money, who burned down two separate buildings, who nearly killed three separate people, who was in detention for several years for his crimes. this guy who nobody misses and most people still resent. and when he comes back it’s a homecoming. prodigal son something something something. whatever

janna whittaker rocks because she’s never going to be her dad’s favorite dead son

being an audio drama fan is so crazy. heres a piece of media that changed my life and had me shaking and sobbing like nothing else. nobody has heard of it. nobody knows what an audio drama is. okay 👍

aio theatrical release in 2026 and richard maxwell is still in that damn hospital

"I asked chat GPT" "I asked grok" Well, I asked Eugene Meltsner, and now he won't shut up.

Richard coming home late and finding the collection of pocketed items by the door has grown, having to put on his best Dad-sona and beg Rachael to please be more careful, he’s not her legal guardian and if she gets arrested she’ll go straight to foster care, he already feels guilty about Mom leaving and doesn’t want to be another person who abandons her
