Official OLS Episodes – One Last Sketch ·

2025/03/10

We decide to finally discuss something J.R.R. Tolkien-related on our podcast, but in the stupidest way possible: by comparing the 2024 animated film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim to 1980’s The Return of the King. This episode has been a long time coming, but as the orcs might say, where … Continue reading Episode 59 – Where There’s a Whip, There’s a Way!

Episode 54 – Fungus Among Us

Official OLS Episodes – One Last Sketch ·

2024/01/31

Will we survive the fungal infestation that lurks beneath Toronto in The Marigold by Andrew F. Sullivan (2023)? This horror/near-future science fiction/fantasy novel is packed with ideas and has plenty of relevant criticism of the direction Canada is heading, but doesn’t bring things together in a satisfactory way for the three of us. We talk … Continue reading Episode 54 – Fungus Among Us

2023/12/29

In the dying days of 2023, we came together to reflect on the best things that we read, watched, listened to and played this year.

Episode 52 – Terraforming Moose

Official OLS Episodes – One Last Sketch ·

2023/11/12

We wrap up our 2023 book club with a recent release, The Terraformers (2023) by Annalee Newitz. This throwback to the fix-up novel explores a lot of big ideas about ecology, biology and society, but do all the many, many elements work together as a whole? And what’s up with all the references to Canada? … Continue reading Episode 52 – Terraforming Moose

2023/08/01

We talk about Parable of the Sower (1993) by Octavia Butler, which begins in the far-future year of 2024. And yet somehow, this still seems like a shockingly plausible representation of what next year could like. Download the Podcast (archive.org page) Marie’s website Source of our theme song

2023/04/05

Episode 44 – Toss a Coin To Your Wiedźmin

Official OLS Episodes – One Last Sketch ·

2020/08/23

Marie watched the Netflix adaptation of The Witcher! Michal indulges in his teenage obsessions. We end up comparing The Witcher to Dealing with Dragons. Correction: At one point, we make it sound like Dandelion is the English translation of Jaskier. This is incorrect. Jaskier in fact means Buttercup.
