* We have a NetFlix queue for us to watch vampire movies from -- for as long as NetFlix keeps Profiles around for.
- Side note/rant: I am a big fan of Netflix's Profiles feature. I use Profiles to split my 5-disc-at-a-time account into separate queues for myself, for Michelle, for my kids, and a profile just for this podcast. Come September 1st, the Profiles feature is going away. At that point I will have only two choices (if I stay with NetFlix). 1. Create new accounts and "transfer" my queues to them or 2. Have one queue and micro-manage it. Neither option satisfies me. I do not understand why an incredibly useful feature, and one that stands them apart from other video rental services, can be terminated because "most people don't use it" or "people don't understand how to use it." I seriously hope NetFlix changes their mind and keeps Profiles around.
- To that end, I have signed two online petitions in the hopes that NetFlix changes their minds. If you are a NetFlix user, I hope you'll consider them as well.

* Sorry for the diversion. While the queue lasts, if you'd like to see the movies we have on deck, just browse http://www.outofthecoffin.com/netflix.
* This month's movie is "The Omega Man" (1971), which is the second film adaptation of Richard Matheson's I AM LEGEND. (9/10)
- Please note that this film can also be watched online with Netflix's "Instant Queue".
* The movie we have next in the queue is Will Smith's version of "I Am Legend" (2007).

* Michelle recently went on a trip to New England and our friend Melanie went along with her. We caught up with Melanie and chatted about the trip.
// FAREWELL
* We wrapped the show by playing the sixth track from our album which is on sale now, FOR THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE,, for only $13. Remember, part of the sales of the CD will be donated directly to the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund.
- The song is "Frankenstein Girl" by the Jackalopes. Thanks again, Magnatune Records!
* Our intro music is "Stigmata" by George Hrab from his album Minutiae. Check out his podcast, his albums, and his new book, George Hrab's Non-Coloring Book, now on sale at Lulu.com!

NetFlix Profiles are here to stay
I will definitely mention this on the next podcast, but I learned today that thanks to some vocal customers, the NetFlix Profiles feature is NOT going away!
