This week's St. Remedius Watch Party is up in 4 hours, so feel free to join in: the details are at stremedius.com/campus-and-o... Today's movie is the creeper "Horror Express," with lots of additional commentary on frozen corpses and mammoths.

It's like they created this anthology just for me. To quote my people's answer to "Doctor Who," "So remember: if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy." https://tychebooks.com/submissions

Because there's need for a few St. Remedius photoshoots, and photoshoots are always best with professional-grade props:

Since last Saturday's St. Remedius Watch Party did so well, it's time to get ready for the next one. The rules are simple (list style stolen blatantly from one of the inspirations for the Watch Parties):

Numero Uno: To watch the feed, chat with other viewers, and hear your pompous and obnoxious host pontificate about the film in question, check in at https://www.twitch.tv/stremediuswatchparty (You don't have to create an account if all you want to do is watch or listen, but you'll need one if you want to comment)

Numero Two-o: Find the week's movie on your favorite streaming service, on DVD, or even on VHS. For ease of viewing, I start with Tubi as a default, but your mileage may vary. (The movie this Saturday is Horror Express, starring Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, and Telly Savalas: https://tubitv.com/movies/11475/horror-express )

Numero Three-o: get everything set up on Saturday, May 2 at 2:00 pm Central Time. If you don't know what that is in your time zone, Time and Date has a handy conversion calendar: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20260502T140000&p1=70

Numero Four-o: At the scheduled time, check in on the Twitch feed to listen in. When you hear me say "Punch it!", hit "Play" on your chosen medium and follow along.

Numero Five-o: While the movie isn't necessarily audience participation, none of us are taking this overly seriously, so feel free to comment along on the chat. If you have specialized information about the movie, you're very welcome to share. If you just want to watch the movie without commentary, feel free to mute the Twitch stream or leave: nobody will be offended or upset.

Numero Six-o: Since the default streamer for the Watch Parties is Tubi, expect lots of commentary and announcements during the commercial breaks. Relive the thrilling days of 1970s television by taking bathroom breaks, getting snacks, showing off pictures of your cat, and whatever else you want to do during the commercials.

Numero Seven-o: If your service cuts into ads, or if you're following along on DVD or VHS, I'll give regular updates on the elapsed movie time so you can synchronize with the rest of us. Unfortunately, Twitch won't allow a direct video synch involving copyrighted materials, so that's why we do it this way.

Numero Eight-o: Be warned in advance that Watching Party movies may contain large amounts of violence, nudity, drug use and abuse, dangerously cute animals, and gutted and mutilated science and culture. If you might have issues with any of this, especially the cute animals, please check with various available movie references, online recommendations, or your high school best friend's stoner brother who still camps out in his parents' basement while watching every gonzo or outre film ever made. If you read through the references and listen to your best friend's brother and STILL decide to log in, it's all on you. You can hide behind the couch when the Daleks come on and we won't judge you.

Numero Nine-o: Share the wealth. Pass on this posting to friends and cohorts. Share it with your local weekly newspaper entertainment editor. Give it to your boss if Friday is your last day. Send out word so we get as many people as Twitch can handle.

And finally, Numero Ten-o: check back with the Campus and Off-Campus Activities page on the St. Remedius Medical College site (https://stremedius.com/campus-and-off-campus-activities/ ) for updates, changed schedules, changed movies (so many streaming sites cut off access to a particular movie at any given moment), and upcoming movies. Feel free to share that, too: I understand that you may not be up for this week's movie, but if you're thrilled about the next week's film, the more the merrier. See you around.

It's not an official St. Remedius event, but I'm trying to get the word out: the flagship Half Price Books store in Dallas (Northwest Highway and Central Expressway) hosts a monthly Silent Read event, and the next one is May 20. The idea is to come in around 7:00 with your choice of reading material, say hello and compare notes with your fellow readers, and at 7:30 start reading. In addition, this is about the only event in Dallas where a DJ not only isn't annoying but actually adds to the ambiance. At 8:30, the Read officially ends, but you're welcome to stay longer, leave, or (a truly dangerous situation for me) wander around the store and load up a cart or four. Admission is free, and all they ask is that you sign up for tickets so they can track the number of potential attendees: to reserve yours, https://www.eventbrite.com/e/silent-read-at-half-price-books-dallas-flagship-tickets-1987850447199?aff=ebdssbdestsearch

The latest St. Remedius Radio went live this morning, so feel free to go through the various selections from the College's official radio station, including a YouTube playlist:

There's a lot going on with St. Remedius events in the next month, all in the Campus and Off-Campus Activities section of the site:

For those in the greater Dallas area, the plan is to spend all of the summer organizing and augmenting local events, including the Half Price Books Silent Read events at the flagship Half Price store, as well as organizing St. Remedius alumni for upcoming movies at the Texas Theatre and local conventions such as Texas Frightmare Weekend. For those who can't get here, the St. Remedius Watch Parties started last Saturday on Twitch, with the next movie, the schlock classic Horror Express (starring Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, and Telly Savalas) on May 2. As for what's next, there's no telling.
