Patrick Wilson's Agent: A lot of offers came in! Which one of these horror franchises do you want to lead?

Patrick: All of them.

Agent: ...What?

Patrick: ALL OF THEM!

In a world of injustices, one more is that The Wheel of Time got canceled while Mayfair Witches got to continue

I started Season 2 of Mayfair Witches and I cannot believe a show of this low quality writing and acting can be in the same universe as the masterpiece that is Interview with the Vampire

All I'm saying is we never got a confirmed Maeglin death and my modern media brain tells me the character is ALIVE AND BROODING

Aside from my One Piece journey, I've been reading the Naruto manga for the first time. Some problematic relics aside, it's such a great adventure story!

I have been SUCH a defender of Xbox's trajectory since the start of this generation, and a big Game Pass fan, but this pricing really puts the nail in the coffin for me. This is the last Xbox I buy.

I'm really enjoying The Stormlight Archive in the middle of Oathbringer and I just feel like at some point when Eru Illuvatar designed me he was like "this guy's really gonna love series that don't hit their strides until 2500 pages in."

Let him cook

Nearing the end of Dressrossa in One Piece. I think this is my favorite arc after Marineford

I know Brandon Sanderson recommends starting the Cosmere with Mistborn, but I don't think that's the best choice for everyone.

I genuinely think I would have enjoyed all of his work more if I started with The Way of Kings.

If you're coming from a deep fantasy background, start with deep fantasy

In other media, I've been reading Shadow Games from The Black Company series and I absolutely love reading Croaker as a narrator. Incredibly unique writing style and underrated book series.

I've been back on the One Piece run, up to Dressrossa. I'm not exaggerating when I say Oda has created the most consistently high quality story I've ever experienced

Reading goal shows 54 out of 52

Hit my usual goal of 52 early this year. Should I set a higher goal? What to?

We try really hard to keep the politics out of our podcasting to preserve it as a safe refuge.

But boy is it hard when there are truly abhorrent things happening on a daily basis.

If you cheer as children lose healthcare, you are truly soulless.

#TheLastofUsSpoilers

Now that the structure of the narrative has been revealed to be nonlinear in the show, I am afraid that it will not be as effective a device on screen as it was in the game.

Overall I was not thrilled with this season. Not terrible, but a big step down from season 1.

I think I need to pen my own test for our podcast reviews.

The Cliffhanger Test.

The Last of Us finale fails it
