TERMINOLOGY GUIDE: I have written a terminology guide, an essential companion to this story, to make the meaning and pronunciation of the various fantastical names and concepts I refer to a little clearer to the listener. It can be accessed at the link below:

Transcend by Jamez Dahl

My review of The Northman, which is really more of a critique of Robert Eggers' filmography more broadly. Style over substance. The cinematic equivalent of a 2 hour eerie ambient soundscape. I use the word "eudaimonia" perhaps erroneously to refer to the sense of emotional fulfillment or drama a good movie is supposed to give you - perhaps the word I was looking for was pathos or catharsis. Films are simulations of life, after all - they're supposed to make you feel alive. I don't feel alive while watching Eggers' movies, just bored.

I'm republishing episodes of my old Doctor Who marathon podcast "The Ood, the Bad and the Ugly". In this episode, recorded in 2019, me and Elliot discuss 1964's Planet of Giants, the first serial of season two, and play another game of Wholess.

I'm republishing episodes of my old Doctor Who marathon podcast "The Ood, the Bad and the Ugly". In this special episode recorded in 2019, me and Elliot discuss the podcast so far and the first season of Doctor Who. We also clumsily invent a new Doctor Who themed game show with our friend Toby.
