The Midnight Citizen 260: “Rubber Bullets and Raspberry Jam”

The Overnightscape Underground

Join Mike in the studio late at night, where he mulls over the mental gymnastics of playing violent video games. Does good karma extend to the virtual world also?

In other news, I’m sequestered in my house lately due to (yet another!) car issue; my absurd back-and-forth with a service lady at the dealership; a new “Adults Only” library in Idaho; what the Kevin Bacon movie “White Water Summer” (1987) can teach teachers about teaching; the collatoral tragedy of Sean Young’s firing from Batman, and much more!

Music breaks: “Vampires of South Dakota” by Forget the Whale; “Beyond Belief” by Jon Shumaker

Video Street Video Store: Sean Young on The Joan Rivers Show (1991); “BTS: Sitcom Laugh Track Expert” (1983)
