What role does entertainment play in our lives, and how important is that role? That’s what I talk about in this podcast.
…About the Need for Entertainment
…About Prequels
Once a story is told and you’re wondering where to go next, sometimes the best place to go is back to the beginning…or even further.
…About Changes in 2020
New year, new things to talk about. I’ll be expanding my podcast to cover a lot more topics, and I’ll be starting broadcasts from my Twitch channel. I also have a new Twitter account for my horror, violent, and otherwise mature content.
…About the Human Element
The most important part of any story, even more so than the plot itself, is the characters. We need to be able to empathize with them if we’re going to continue reading about and watching them. But do the characters need to be humans for us to care what happens to them?
…About Being A Grown-Up Kid
I turn 38 in a couple of weeks. If you think that’s going to stop me from loving the same kinds of things I loved as a kid, then you’ve got another think coming. An adult is merely a kid who has reached a certain age, and a kid is merely an adult who hasn’t reached that age. No adult should feel bad about enjoying things that are “meant for kids”.
