Sonic Cinema

Hello readers and listeners! For our latest episode, I decided to share my thoughts on this past weekend’s Dragon*Con fantasy/sci-fi/horror convention in Atlanta, Georgia, which I attended for the ninth straight year. It’s a comparatively short one from the past couple of podcasts, and that’s both good and bad. I hope you enjoy! Episode 18- […]

Hello readers and listeners! I wish I had been able to do more as far as podcasts this summer, but that is how it goes. For this episode, I use the occasion of turning 40 to look back at the 40 films that have shaped me the most as an individual. A lot of these […]

Hello readers and listeners! I’m excited to have a new episode of the Sonic Cinema Podcast for you, and like the previous one, it’s an in-depth look at a particular film with a guest. The guest this time is one of my favorite fellow nerds, Marv Dickey, and he and I are discussing the short […]

Hello readers and listeners! It’s good to be recording podcasts again after a bit of a break for the past few months. We start the 2017 run of the podcasts for the year with my look at the Oscars, my thoughts and predictions for tomorrow night, as well as a rundown of the 10 Best […]

I feel like the heroine in a Disney musical, ready to break into song. The possibilities are limitless, and I’m ready to attack the day. You see, for the first time, possibly, ever, I am quite ready for the Oscar nominations to be announced, not dreading it. Normally, I have had quite a bit of […]

I usually try and get this blog up before the calendar switches over, but I had a rather busy final week of the year that led to a slight delay. No matter, it’s only a slight delay, and New Year’s Day only gives it the sense of further closure for the year. Is it closure, […]

One of the fundamental challenges of this “Movie a Week” series continues to be that it’s, well, a movie a week. And because I’ve basically planned out the next year during the current one, that means film availability is of the utmost importance in order for this to work. That, and time. Life and work […]
