Fantasy for the Ages Jim Scriven

- Fiction
Jim (Father) and Zach (Son) talk about their ideas and perspectives on fantasy fiction, starting with Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series but straying in various other directions as well. The generational difference in how they view what they read will become obvious (and entertaining, they hope!). Come enjoy our debates and explorations over what all these books mean, and see who you agree with.

Top 10 Apocalypse Movies
Jim talks about apocalypse-focused movies today, and creates his personal Top 10 of such films. Throws in a few honorable mentions, as well. Will your favorites make the list?
