SKASE: You’re a star, Rodney, my boy.

DEAKIN: Rod! I’m on stage!

A completely over-the-top farce, which is exactly what an episode about a Sun Hill panto should be. Everyone is brilliantly IC, too, from Derek & Jack getting drunk together then arguing on stage, to Rod thinking he’s too cool for the whole thing until he gets cast and decides he’s the next Laurence Olivier.

TV: ELVEN KINGS UNDER THE SKY - The Rings of Power - Season 2 Episode 1 Recap

The opening twenty minutes of "Elven Kings Under the Sky" might be the best stretch of any episode in the series. Not only do we see just how terrifying Sauron's powers can be. We see how unnatural and vile they are.

After the betrayal of Halbrand/Sauron, the Elves will need to navigate the future. Luckily, The Rings of Power is not only interested in Elvish struggles, but those of Sauron as well. The compelling origins of the “Halbrand Sauron” take center stage in the Season 2 premiere. Written by Gennifer Hutchinson and directed by Charlotte Brändström, “Elven Kings Under the Sky” kicks off Season…

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Elven Kings Under the Sky – TV Review

TL;DR – In our first episode back, we take a moment to reacquaint ourselves with the whole band as the world of Middle Earth starts to fall apart.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. Disclosure – I paid for the Amazon Prime service that viewed this episode. The Rings of Power Review – Back in 2022, a very bold chance was taken. Can you jump back into the world of The Lord of the Rings but only using…

"Hoarded Dreams": Graham Collier's Magnum Opus Unveiled

Introduction: In the vast landscape of jazz, where every note tells a story, certain albums stand out as magnum opuses that transcend time and genre. One such monumental creation is “Hoarded Dreams,” a live album by bassist and composer Graham Collier. Released on January 16, 2007, under the Cuneiform label, this recording is a testament to the brilliance of Collier and the ensemble of…

by Geoff Chang | Spurgeon’s pastoral ministry was more than just preaching. With so much to do, he envied Daniel Rowland who “would have nothing to do with the management of the church... He kept himself to his preaching, came in through a door in the back wall of the meeting-house and disappeared suddenly when he had done.” A...

The Quiet Earth (1985)

"We might not have been responsible. God may have just blinked."

"God blinked and the whole world disappeared. A world of noisy, brawling, wonderful human beings."

NEW AT ECLECTICA this month - on the California writer Delicious Tacos.

The nom de plume of an almost certainly muscular straight white male domiciled in or around West Hollywood, Delicious Tacos (DT) made a spicy name for himself offering dating advice to frustrated gents on the capital-I Internet, the way Charles Bukowski made a name for himself doing the same for colicky bums in the stapled mags. Like Bukowski, DT delivers a dangerously lucid fictional version of his barbarous drunken self. A fiction the impressionable male reader, with an underdeveloped sense of context, dares to imitate in real life. Unlike Bukowski's Henry Chinaski, a child of the Great Depression, who, when he arrived in a new town, sought out the poor people section, the Delicious Tacos character, a child of the Reagan/Clinton boom, is a sloppy yet optimized knowledge worker: when DT arrives in a new town, he heads to the Capital One Café across the street from the CorePower, takes a seat at the Warrior 2 window, gets excited by the bubble butts, remembers porn ruined his sexuality, and fires up a new post....

Geoff is getting very suspicious of Don—and not just because Don makes rude remarks about Yorkshire.

Hey all! I haven't posted here in so long that one of my most recent entries is announcing Process Party, the podcast I did with Mike Dawson for a few years (aaaand which has been more or less done/hibernating for a year or two now😂) so I thought I'd actually post about my current podcast, as I migrate hosts (and archive Process Party for the ages) in this holiday season.

The new one is called In This Issue… It's a podcast about what I'm calling "formative comics reading experiences," with a focus on the single issue format. Every episode I'm talking to a special guest from the world of comics, doing a close reading of a comic book (IE not a graphic novel! 22-64 pages is the range we're working with here) and have a lively chat about it. TBH I haven't actually posted a new ITI in a couple months either, but I just have to get the will to edit the ones I have banked. Look, the holidays are hard! Anyway, there's been 9 episodes so far and they're all great in their own special way! I'm excited to talk to more dorks about the comics that made them go "WHUH!?" in the coming year. Check the place where you normally find your podcasts for these and the next ones, whenever I get around to posting them!
