17 min

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! It's tough not to let your mind wander and wonder about who certain people are, why they act the way that they do, what made certain people certain ways. Jim Carrey was an absolute marvel of a comedian, comic and physical actor, and an overall nice guy in the industry. But over the past few years? It's been hard to ignore the drastic changes to the man, his myth, and his whittled down legend. Was he....replaced? I think.....

I got the chance to talk to author of the Orion's Spur series, Alan Hansen about the first book in his series, Demeter and I had a lot of fun!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Politics in Science Fiction: It's Always Been There

25 min

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Politics is a fantastic writing tool to use to make a story BIG, because it helps scale whatever is happening in the background of a story. Watch something like The Expanse or Star Trek and you'll see that its something that those shows would not be as great without because politics makes things more relatable, more intriguing, and all the more real.

Deadpool vs Marvel: The Course Correct is REAL

17 min

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Deadpool x Wolverine is EASILY one of my favorite marvel movies of all time! if not one of my favorite movies in general. We have seen a pretty big dip in the attention people are giving to the MCU, but THIS movie is guaranteed to swing it back. So what made the studio make such a dramatically different kind of movie that was ten time raunchier, more gory, more nostalgia filled than the previous Deadpool movies? Well......

20 min

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! I am a HUGE X-Men comics fan, especially the later graphic novel adaptations and illustrated compendiums.

BUT THEY DIDNT!!!!
