Fantasy for the Ages

Jim (Father) and Zach (Son) talk about their ideas and perspectives on fantasy fiction, starting with Robert Jordan"s The Wheel of Time series but straying in various other directions as well.

Jim came across a list from some years back of the top 100 science fiction and fantasy books of all time, as voted on by readers. Obviously leaving out great reads of the past decade, it still is an amazing snapshot of the best of the best. In this episode, Jim touches on each book briefly, including his familiarly with the book, his thoughts on its placement on the list, and his plan for reading it if he hasn't yet done so.

2023/05/07

A few years ago, Jim stumbled across this quirky, funny, somewhat disgusting, and definitely original sort of zombie apocalypse tale called Zombie Fallout. And he found it sort of like cocaine. Not that he has ever even SEEN cocaine, but we're playing the stereotype - after just that one taste, he couldn't get enough, and he starting doing anything the author (Mark Tufo) was offering. Which makes this a fantastic episode, as Jim gets to chat with Mark about his books, the meaning of life, and all

Some people find epic fantasy to be too intimidating. So books in the series! So many different characters! Too many places to keep straight! Too large a commitment! In this episode, Jim gives some advice for giving such series a try, flowing from his experience with many such epic fantasy series, including some that have been over 30 books in length.#fantasy #EpicFantasy #ReadingForPleasureJoin us on Discord: https://discord.gg/jMWyVJ6qKkSupport us on Patreon:

2023/04/16

Jim has been a fan of the horror genre going back to childhood, both literature and film. In this episode, he focuses on the cinema, journeying through some of the best he's seen, movies that are representative of the breadth of horror films from the 1920's to today. Be afraid. Be very afraid. But really, just enjoy!Truly have to say, for this one, the video is better than the audio feed, so this may be a time you'll be better served by hopping over to our YouTube channel to watch:

Science Fiction did it first, thanks to properties like Star Trek, Star Wars, and Battlestar Galactica. Fantasy finally made it with the help of The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. Did what? Broke into the mainstream. And for the Zombie Apocalypse what finally got this sub-genre over the hump, from niche interest to broad cultural relevance, was The Walking Dead.
