I want to tell you a story about my wife. You can accuse me of anything you like, and many people do, (OH MAN, but don’t they?) but my wife is one of the most honest people I ever met. We’ve been together 30 years and married for 28 years this month. I remember we’d […]
The Walking Living: One Day on My Fitness Mission
Sunday (Yesterday) was the beginning of my fourth week on my 5 month fitness mission, so I thought I’d keep a short journal of the day to share here. I mentioned in my original post on this mission that I weighed 224lbs fifteen years ago when I was in my 30s and we had just […]
Michael Bunker’s 5 Month Fitness Mission (with diet and details so far)
I am a few days into the third week of my 5-month fitness mission. If you haven’t heard me explain what I’m doing and why, I made a video at the very beginning of my adventure: I’ll be putting up a new, updated video on my YouTube channel soon. If you aren’t subscribed to my […]
Authors and Hollywood
I met Jonathan Maberry, author and comics writer extraordinaire, when we were both on a worldbuilding panel at DragonCon in 2014. Today, I had the great pleasure of watching the new Netflix series VWars (based on his work,) starring Ian Somerhalder, Adrian Holmes, Peter Outerbridge, Kyle Harrison Breitkopf, Jacky Lai and Kimberly-Sue Murray, and I’m […]
Bunker Film Review: Color Out of Space is a work of art.
I want to scream at that tiny percentage of ivory tower critics that this is a cosmic horror picture with Nic Cage that is Lovecraft and Richard Stanley and you are watching it at midnight at a genre film festival surrounded by goths and people with face tattoos and three inch wide ear implants and Doc Brown haircuts and wearing cravats who just drank the bar at Alamo Drafthouse dry. What were you expecting? Why are you even here?
A Free Nick Cole Book You’ll Love
I get asked all the time who my favorite currently active writer is. Hand’s down it is my friend Nick Cole. And no, not because he’s my friend. I made that determination when I read Old Man and the Wasteland back before we became friends, when that book was an Indie phenomenon, before it got […]
I Urgently Need Your Help! (Let’s get this movie made!)
Hi, As most of you know, Hollywood is making a full-length major motion picture from my novel Pennsylvania. It is a fun, exciting, patience-scrambling, wonderfully head-shaking exciting time for us. For all of us. But here’s the thing. I URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP, and it won’t cost you a dime. At the most it will […]
The Bunkers Go to Hollywood! (And how to help)
Hey y’all! The fundraiser for our trip in September is going pretty well. For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, take a little time and watch the video and you can get caught up. As of this morning (this video was made yesterday afternoon) we’re at exactly $2,500 raised. We […]
Becoming Eagles, Part 2: Eeguls Timeline, and the Becoming Eagles Workout
My wife Danielle and I are, Lord willing, traveling to Hollywood in September to meet the production team for the Pennsylvania movie. In the first part I wrote about my quixotic quest to play the character Goa Eeguls in the movie. But I want you to know that it is a fun quixotic quest. I […]
I sing “What a Friend we have in Jesus” because that’s how I roll
This one was easy. D Dub Mac offered to donate $199 to my fundraiser if I’d sing this song. I sing this one all the time for free D Dub! If someone has a real challenge, drop it in the comments.
Becoming Eagles, Part 1
I’m on a quest! In 2014, during the height of my novel Pennsylvania’s popularity, there was a lot of demand for Pennsylvania short stories (and a ton of fan fiction!) so I wrote two short pieces as the back story of one of the most popular characters… Goa Eeguls (or Eagles.) The two stories, which […]
We’re going to Hollyweird
If people thought an Amish/Scifi novel and film was a weird concoction, wait until they see the Bunker’s in Hollywood! We’re heading to Hollywood in September to meet with the production team of the film and to make a “Plain People” adventure of it! I mean, who doesn’t want to follow along as we share […]
