By: Jim Scriven

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.

The Witcher Novels: Jim's Thoughts
Last Friday at 10:36 PM

The Witcher novels are a mixed bag, some great, some... well, it's complicated. In this episode Jim gets into it. This is actually still spoiler-lite, as Jim doesn't spend a lot of time in the plot. He's more discussing the structure and premises of the books.


Oh, and he may go off about Netflix and Henry Cavill. Just a tad.

A Night in the Lonesome October REACTION (Spoiler-Lite)
Last Wednesday at 11:59 PM

Jim reacts spoiler-lite to yet another novel by Roger Zelazny, one of his last books, and something that feels quite different from other Zelazny literature he'd read. Now, is that a good different, or a bad different. WAFO

Weekly Channel Update: April 16, 2024
Last Wednesday at 11:57 PM

Now that we're fully into the swing on a new episode every day, we think we can justify giving ONE of those days to a simple weekly update, mentioning what we've been up to over the past seven days - books read, things watched, stuff done. Mostly these will feature Jim/Father, but we're sure we'll get Zach/Son in for some of them. We promise to entertain!

Jim's Top 10 Supporting Characters of Fantasy
04/16/2024

I'm bringing another Top 10 list to you today, thinking of my favorite supporting characters in fantasy stories (or fantasy-adjacent). There were SO MANY to consider, but I've whittled it down to a top 10. At least, for today. How many will you agree with?

Jim's Top 20 Favorite Surprise Movie Endings
04/14/2024

Here's another fun movie list, the top 20 movies I've enjoyed that have a surprise ending. I've done this "spoiler-lite," revealing none of the endings, just in case there are some you haven't yet seen. Which I hope you will.


Not surprisingly, nearly all of these movies are either SFF or SFF-adjacent. I tend to lean into my preferences!


Let me know which movies you would add to the list, and which you think I've overrated. All opinions welcome!

Light Bringer - Full Spoil Review (Red Rising 6)
04/09/2024

With a name like "Light Bringer," surely this 6th book of Pierce Brown's Red Rising Saga is going to rebound from the darkness of "Dark Age," the previous volume.


Right? ... Right???
