Law of Conservation of Boots
With “Furiosa: A Mad Max Story” in theaters, we thought we would dip back to the original (aka, the fourth) Mad Max movie, “Mad Max: Fury Road” from 2015. It’s a big car chase followed by a race, it’s two hours long, and it’s considered one of the greatest films of all time. Witness us!...

Three Novellas in a Trench Coat
Our 2024 book club shortlist read continues with “Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon”, “The Terraformers,” and “Some Desperate Glory.” We enjoyed them all, to varying degrees! Plus: What else are we reading?...

Starfighters in Their Office Chairs
It’s been 40 years since the release of 1984’s “The Last Starfighter,” so we finally give this visually groundbreaking film its due. Did we find the early CGI effects as charming as the plot of a small town kid becoming a galactic hero in the distant reaches of space?...

Swept up in the Deadpool of It All
You just can’t kill us, unless we’re wearing something on our necks that means you can. We’re back to cover 2018’s “Deadpool 2,” which bring you… more Deadpool. Not necessarily a bad thing, but should it have tried to elevate its game? Does its ending completely invalidate the story? And what’s the serious plot element at the center of the ridiculous meta superhero action?...

The Real Villain is Trauma
With a third movie on the way, it’s time for us to tackle an R-rated “X-Men” spinoff, everyone’s favorite glutton for punishment, 2016’s “Deadpool.” Did it pass the test of skeptical first-time viewers? Does its balance of humor and ultraviolence work? And why did we find this deeply unserious movie strangely affecting?...

Don't Let Books Make You Cry
We begin our walk through the 2024 nominees for Best Novel from the Hugo and Nebula Awards. First up: “Starter Villain” by John Scalzi, “Translation State” by Ann Leckie, and “Witch King” by Martha Wells....

Now this, is podcasting!
The incomparable unites a large cast of hosts who each bring a distinctive hue to the living art that is each episode.
You don’t have to love each host, they regularly mix and match, forming a unique and exciting combination of thoughts and wit.
I even go as far as skip some hosts altogether (shocking!), and still get to enjoy the experience very much!
Seemingly endless popular media and culture subjects are meticulously analyzed, debated or mocked: you will find the hidden gem that will open your ears and mind.
So, it’s a four stars rating. Because it’s so good, but you can always get better (never tell someone they’re the best 😉)
