On this episode, join me on another trip to Quincy, IL, where I walk along the waterfront of the Mississippi River and loiter in the parking lot of the posh local boating club. Later, I sit on the back porch of a shuttered bar close to my hotel and reflect on anything and whatever.

This one I taped on the back porch of my folks’ house in Birmingham, AL after seeing the latest Scream sequel. I don’t really talk about that one too much because it was stupid, but I do talk about the original from 1996, how it was forbidden fruit in the house when I was 14 years old, and how my big sister snuck me a copy to watch, which blew my little mind and to this day, when I watch it, still surprises me how good it is.

This one I recorded on a humid Christmas night in Birmingham, AL. Join me for a drink as I mull over Stanley Kubrick’s last movie “Eyes Wide Shut” — the weirdo plot, theories old and new, and why nobody “saw” it when it came out…even though I processed countless late fees for the VHS at Blockbuster.

43:43 While I’m in-between producing shows or whatever, enjoy one of the random recordings I’ve been posting on my Spotify feed a little bit before and after the last episode of my podcast, The Midnight Citizen, back in November 2025.
This one I recorded after seeing one of my favorite movies, The French Connection (1971), at the local independent movie theater. I walk around downtown and talk about it, and duck into a quiet cellar bar for a bit to grab a drink and take a rest from the chill November air.

1:51:45 — Join Mike in the studio for the last time…maybe?
After 15 years and 300 shows, it all ends tonight. Bring out your drink of choice and make a toast with me as I say goodbye to this weird, wonderful podcast that’s been, altogether, not a bad way to document all the ups and downs of a random guy’s life in this world.
Hear all about the show’s origins, the various stops-and-starts along the way, and, in the true spirit of randomness that The Midnight Citizen’s all about, take some hard digressions with me into an exploration of a wide variety of topics, including the surprising thing Filmmaker Kevin Smith and OC Bomber Timothy McVeigh have in common, pre-Star Wars George Lucas movies, fertility clinic waiting rooms, and a lot more!
This is a jam-packed final episode that I prepared for very little and recorded LIVE, so anything could…and did…happen, like the cat unplugging the mic and camera for a little minute, and two surprise, special guests who dropped in like I was doing a 70’s Television Special!

After a long day of grading papers and driving for dollars, I crashed out on Saturday night and slept right through my scheduled live show. But no worries, join me in the car on Sunday morning as I deliver food to the good, hung-over people of Birmingham, AL.
Later that night, sit with me outside to celebrate the milestone of what I’m choosing to believe those thousands of screaming, cigar-puffing folks were cheering on in Tuscaloosa on Saturday Night. That’s right, I finally finished “Gravity’s Rainbow”! — a book it took me 12 years – and just as many tries – to finish. I give you (what I’m sure won’t be) my final thoughts on the novel.
