This time, shrink down with us to discuss Ant-Man and the Wasp, which premiered in the United States on Friday, July 6, 2018. Sound Off! is meant to be a reaction, but not necessarily a review. After all, while…

For my 2018 Resolution Project, I decided to take a page out of Lane’s book and do my own Silver Screen Resolution (hence the Take Two part of the title). There are a lot of movies out there I haven’t seen but feel like I should have, or movies that I’ve simply wanted to see and have yet to get…

I will listen to twelve spec-fic oriented podcasts, one per month. For each podcast, I will listen to a minimum of five episodes per podcast before I…

You know how there are good things in the world that just aren’t for you? I experienced a massive dose of this lately. To preface, let me begin by confessing something: I am a fantasy reader who is very picky about epic fantasy. I didn’t like The Lord of the Rings. I loved the movies, but the books? I barely…
