The cruelty is the point.

If this isn't evil, I don't know what is.

I'm gonna make it a nice round 100!

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.

A happy No Kings Day to all my followers

#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

If it doesn’t already, Disney World needs a brunch restaurant called Hakuna Frittata

Watching Jon Pertwee in #DoctorWho has convinced me that I could pull off an Inverness cloak

Why have we not brought capes back?

I am still in shock from that second reveal.

The poster of Lazarus on HBO Max featuring each of the 5 main characters in a different colored box.

Is anyone tuning into Lazarus on HBO Max? It's a top animated series for me. The soundtrack is stunning, similar to Persona 5's music. The characters are intricate, endearing, and at times infuriating. The show explores human motivation and questions our worthiness for redemption. #Lazarus

🎯 Could not agree more, Robert. Proof, once again, you are as wise as Obi-Wan!
Many thanks for ALL that you do on a daily basis from your fan, Mar🐫

I am super impressed with Lazarus on Max and it might even end up on my top ten list if it continues like this

Catching up on The Rehearsal and I genuinely don’t know how Nathan keeps coming up with these ideas

Poster for Tales of the Underworld featuring a collage of images of Asajj Ventress, Cad Bane, and other characters from their stories

Happy Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane Day, to all who celebrate!

I wasn’t planning on binging this whole series but I got hooked.

Tales of the Underworld is fantastic. I do wish we got more closure on the Ventress arc, but the Cad Bane arc was surprisingly great, and I’m not a big CB fan.

Happy May the 4th to all!

I’m on the first one now! Taking it slow

#Andor

I'm pretty sure there are two Verada Sethus, because Cinta is definitely not played by the same woman as Belinda Chandra in #DoctorWho. I don't believe it. 😆

Me when I read it

Haha we’re doing a lot but thankfully this starts after Andor

Thanks Abi! Will definitely keep you in mind for a book perspective if we cover it!

And I hear you on Heretics, it defeated me a quarter way through

I have never been a Brandon Sanderson super fan. I thought he made an impressive amount of solid fantasy that never wowed me.

But damnit if I’m not having the time of my life with The Stormlight Archive. This is the first time Sanderson hooked me.

What’s the vibe on the Murderbot series coming to Apple?

We’re considering coverage, are people excited for the series?

Amazing episode of The Last of Us. Even knowing most of what was coming I was on the edge of my seat.

The show addition of a Jackson plot was some of the best TV action I’ve ever scene.

Great episode of TV, great chat breaking down the wild twists.

Thank you so much! It’s such a great season, and we’re lucky to be able to prep the episodes in advance. Feel free to send in thoughts for the feedback ep!
