So let’s talk about Mabel. I stumbled over this one because the hosts of The Bridge mentioned it in their lists of podcasts to check out.

My podcast resolution rules as they stand now: 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 either give up or add it to my entertainment cycle.

Another week, another podcast. I am definitely doing more than my resolution rules. Go me? The rules as I laid them out originally for 2018: I will listen to twelve spec fic-oriented podcasts, one per month. Done that! As of this point I have listened to or sampled The Bright Sessions, Lauren Proves Magic is Real, Steal the Stars, The…

Welcome to August (she said, several days late)! And, more importantly, welcome to the weekend! Have you had a nice week? I hope so. I, on the other hand, well…have you ever had one of those weeks that drains every single ounce of energy from you? That was me. That was the entire last month for me. Last night, I…

If you want a reminder of my rules for this 2018 Resolution, here they are. So I got excited about podcasts after Limetown, and sailed into The Bridge with cautious optimism. I loved the premise and thought why not? I loaded up several CDs worth of episodes (do not get me started on my iTunes shenanigans with the podcasts or…

Welcome back to Sound Off!, a semi-regular column where members of Speculative Chic gather together to chat about the latest BIG THING in entertainment. This time, fight off an invasion to discuss Extinction, which premiered on Netflix in the United States on Friday, July 27, 2018. Sound Off! is meant to be a reaction, but not necessarily a review. After all, while we…
