They made the first half of the Silmarillion entertaining. Hilarious, insightful, well edited, this is the good stuff right here. Thank you Austin, Cameron and Michael!
Shelved by Genre is of my favorite shows. The hosts are as funny as they are insightful, and I've been introduced to a variety of incredible stories that I likely wouldn't have come across on my own. An easy 5⭐️. NOW THAT THAT'S OUT OF THE WAY: Cameron, I have never smashed the pause button to go write a comment so fast in my life. I need you to look up the 1981 BBC audio drama recording of "In Western Lands Beneath the Sun", and then come back here & formally apologize to my best boy Sam for slandering his songwriting abilities. (I don't wanna put the YT account on blast, since filing takedowns is the Tolkien estate's favorite hobby, but you're looking for the "unofficial" account w/ the LotR logo. Trust me, it's better than the CD version.) ...But yeah other than that, 10 out of 10, no (additional) notes! 👍 😄
My favorite podcast to play during long meanders around town, describing the shapes and intersections of holy geometry, as I expound at length to a put-upon acquaintance about the true peak of the inimitable Dragon Lord film series. “Dragonlord: Master of the End-Zone” may not have found critical success, but its fairly weak script is saved by Sir Derek Jacobi as Coach, in his final role. Also, I suppose there’s much to recommend if you enjoy talk of duppies and their uses, how the future will always have Catholics, or whether you can, in fact, “drift a horse.” SBG has up-ended my reading habits, brightened my days, and gotten me writing a mecha-cyberpunk novel of my own. Many thanks to Cameron, Michael, Austin, and Jordan for a fantastic listen.
Amidst these stacks so straight and tall a shirtless torturer and witless monk roam. Where fantasy's dust coats sci-fi's hallowed halls in the Catholics' imagined future homes. With tomes lined end to end, Great wizards learn their craft! Where dragons burn and angels... um.. neigh? Mages of legend cling to love like a raft. How are you to find your way where corporate and corporeal horrors creep? Go technical or go crude - but beware, the faulty urges run deep. It's shelved by genre, friend, And more stories yet abound. For wit and depth, laughs and sighs, There's no better genre lit podcast around. *pops my eye out and dumps wine on my head while shouting TA-DA*
