What is “The Wandering Earth”?

We watched the highest grossing movie in the history of China, the second highest non English language film in history, and one of the 20 highest grossing scifi movies of all time.    How come no one talks about it?  It just came out in February.

Is this the Michael Bay movie of Chinese sensibilities?  Is this even propaganda?  We may or may not agree with each other.  Surprise Surprise

Endgame of Thrones

It was a long weekend.  “The Long Night” broke James.  We reflected on Avengers: Endgame and Game of Thrones, and what that might say about ourselves and where we’re at.

Watchmen – Champagne Room Tease

We read and covered Watchmen for patrons. The book Alan Moore will probably be remembered for (sorry, Jerusalem). Here we cover our own history with the comic, and then some details and history of the book and its creators.

All four in depth bonus episodes, covering three chapters a piece is available on the patreon. In episode 4 we go into further details of what we might expect from the upcoming HBO show.

Episode One (issues 1-3)
Episode Two (issues 4-6)
Episode Three (issues 7-9)
Episode Four (issues 10-12)

Echoing in the Void: Companion Epilogues pt 3

May it be that Disco Home Season 2 is finally over?

Lane and Courtney are nervous. Will Discovery stay in the future? 

Let’s talk about the romance.  This show’s characters can’t even talk between themselves about their relationships without one being in a coma. 

Dream plots and Klingon gods. 

And finally, Wade receives final thoughts on Discovery Season 2 from Stefan in the Netherlands. And two guys who didn’t watch the show have a few questions.

Filling the Void: Companion Epilogues pt 2

With Discovery fading into the past, and flying into the future, we ask important questions such as: What kind of drug is each Star Trek series, and what was it like to binge all of Season 2 of Star Trek Discovery within a convenient trial size period of time?

Wade is once again joined by two guest companions. This time it’s journalist Ryan Britt (@ryancbritt on twitter), and an entirely new voice to Disco Home Season 2, Adam P. Newton (@dryvetyme).  

Some Sweeter Sorrow (Discovery S2E14)

We got emotional watching this episode. And not all of it was anger!  We talk a bit about things we like, so be cool everybody.  But then… we talk about some of the things we weren’t as keen on.  Great action, but what about the story of this season?   

Wade, Glen, and Sean are along for this one, but keep looking at the feed to hear from more of our companions for this season.
