Good Omens June 13, 2019
Amazon’s Good Omens miniseries is a rare thing. Exceedingly rare. So rare, in fact, that I can’t off the top of my head name another thing like it, though I’m certain others must exist. It is a TV show which is as good as the great book from which it was adapted. There have been plenty […]
Godzilla: King of the Monsters May 31, 2019
I’m not sure what I was expecting from Godzilla: King of the Monsters, but it neither surprised me nor disappointed me, and I enjoyed it quite a bit, so I guess what I was expecting was a Godzilla movie with lots of monsters in it. The show stealers for me were Mothra, Millie Bobbie Brown, and […]
Pokémon: Detective Pikachu May 10, 2019
Take a pokéball and fill it with nostalgia. Then shout “I CHOOSE YOU” and throw it. Depending on whether you’ve given your Nostalgia the right kind of pokéberries, it will have evolved into PURE JOY. That’s this movie in a nutshell pokéball. My eighteen-year-old loved Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, while I merely enjoyed it. My pokéberries […]
Avengers: Endgame April 26, 2019
As promised, here is my spoiler-free review. 1) I really liked it. 2) It clears my Threshold of Awesome 3) It retroactively boosted my enjoyment of Avengers: Infinity War. I’ll say more later. I do think you should make time to see this in theaters soon, because being part of the audience for this made […]
There Won’t Be Spoilers April 24, 2019
I’ll be seeing Avengers: Endgame on Friday morning. My review will be pretty basic. I’ll let you know if I liked it, and I’ll tell you whether or not it boosts my Infinity War review back up over my Threshold of Awesome. That’s it. I won’t be saying anything about who does what, or how, or when/why/where. I […]

14.24: Political Intrigue June 16, 2019
Your Hosts: Brandon, Mary Robinette, Margaret, and Howard Political Intrigue stories are less about “politics” (as colloquially defined by pop culture) and more about mysteries. Per Mary Robinette, they’re often like heists of information. The word “politics” here is used in its purest sense: POWER. In this episode we talk about how we worldbuild for […]
