DEEP IN THE DRAINS

"SCAM CALL"
Junior Horror Division 
USC Student Film Showcase
Directed by Nate Barclovis
------
When the phone rings, you already know the right answer is don’t pick up—but our unlucky protagonist does it anyway. What starts out as an ordinary spam interruption turns into a deliriously unhinged descent as a voice on the other end, a man who calls himself Sergio, demands payment with increasing urgency. Fragmented phrases, scrambled threats, and the endlessly repeated command—“Make check payable to Sergio!"—burrow into their brain like a glitchy 90s slasher villain who has learned telemarketing.

Is Sergio real? Is he a debt collector from beyond the dead? Or is it just the world’s most persistent scammer? Does it really matter? ... because once the call connects, reality unravels and paranoia blooms.

LYRICS:
"something is rotten-
in the village of toys"

You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Satan Claus is comin' to town

​He's making a list
Checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Satan Claus is comin' to town

​He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for god damn sake!

​Oh! You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Satan Claus is comin' to town

​With little tin horns 
And little toy drum
Rootie ass toots 
And rummy-toot Tums
Satan Claus is comin' to town

​He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good or you won't wake!

​Oh! You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why:
Satan Claus is comin'

...To your town

------------










SATAN CLAUS

Hollywood has gone back to the well, or maybe it's the library, with its recent remake of "The Running Man". So we've decided to take a look at both of them! In each dystopian future, life is awful but everyone agrees the best way to get through it is to watch people get hunted down in the titular game show! Arnie's a cop who took a while to realize he was a baddie, while Glen Powell is an ordinary guy who wants to do the right thing but forgot to get his anger issues fixed. On the way we'll meet side characters of varying wackiness, hostages of varying acting abilities, and satire of varying levels of focus!
Also this week: should've called Paul,  normal man v action figure, and product placement!

Ten Forward 49 : The Runnings Men

The dudes discuss cars, pals, Corey Cunningham, and chili dogs. This is their take on CHRISTINE. 

Christine (1983)

Are You Movie Mad? Is the podcast that asks the most difficult question one man has ever faced. Cinephile Andrew Jones is perpetually flabbergasted that Johnny Ellis uses the online moniker 'Movie_Mad' yet at any given moment seems not to understand any movie references. Join Andrew as he journeys through a collection of films to educate Johnny and ask if Johnny is Mad about the movie he watched or remains Movie Mad.

The Media Lunch Break is your best resource for geek news, reviews, comedy, and the Oxford comma! We'll argue the oldest of debates: DC vs Marvel, Mac vs PC, Michael Bay vs our collective childhoods.
We're here to serve YOU!
And ourselves.
Mostly ourselves.
But hopefully you like it too! So sit back, relax, and listen to two idiots riff on topics they know nothing about.


New episodes every Thursday!

Podcasts: a frontier that isn't actually very final at all. These are the voyages of the podcast A Star to Steer Her By. Our continuing mission: to watch every single episode of Star Trek (even the dumb ones), to comment on and snark at whatever suits our fancy, to boldly split infinitives that no man has split before. 

Follow our crew of Chris, Jake, Ames, and Caitlin as we explore the universe of Trek, go on wild tangents, crack wise, and make more fart jokes than necessary.

Mature Content!

SINCERE IMPOSTER is an intimate collection of artists exploring a curious mixture of New Wave, Dance, EDM, Folk Rock, Metal, Art Pop, Electro, Dreamwave, and Experimental World Pop. Collectively, this is known as QUIRKPOP — music that pushes the creative limits of traditional pop.

Expect an unpredictable journey through sound, emotion, and humor, where genres collide and pop bends in strange new ways. Each song is conceived, composed, and performed with total sincerity, whether it’s built from voices, instruments, software, or hybrid experimentation. The focus is on the music itself: if it resonates, it resonates. No explanation required.

SINCERE IMPOSTER is curated by two musicians, both living within the same body, sharing a singular existence. They identify as Danielle & Dave. They are both psychologically and musically confused, yet extremely and unapologetically sincere.

Influences range from Weird Al and Nathan Fielder to David Lynch, Rosalia, Monatik, Atarashii Gakko!, Rammstein, T-Pain, and T-Swift. 

Danielle & Dave’s favorite inventions include the vacuum and the peach pitter. Their father is simply known as Vessel… who may be an entity or a god.
