Friday Fiction: A Roommate Solution – Part 2
Last time, we talked briefly about how some science fiction stories are just normal stories with a different coat of paint. And, just like last time, that statement has no bearing on the story presented.

Marvel Rising: Heart Of Iron Is Sort Of Okay
Heart of Iron partially reverses the downward slide after the abysmal Chasing Ghosts. It’s not as good as Initiation, but at least the plot setups actually go somewhere. It doesn’t feel like scenes are wasting the viewer’s time.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Give and Take”
“Give and Take” is the most aggressive theory-baiting episode I think I’ve ever heard from this franchise. Maybe back in Archives, there was a dialogue passage that was purely meant to get the mind going, but I doubt it was this blatant.
Friday Fiction: A Roommate Solution – Part 1
Have you ever noticed that some sci-fi stories are basically regular dramas or comedies but with a technological coat of paint? That’s interesting, isn’t it?
The Marvels: A Blandly Fun Little Movie
I don’t know what to make of The Marvels. Oh, I watched it. I enjoyed it. And I even laughed at the scenes where I was supposed to laugh. But I can tell—even as my memory still holds—that this is a forgettable movie.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Introductions”
“Introductions” is so aptly named and so appreciated. I was waiting, waiting, waiting for something like this to happen. The Magnus Protocol gave us a solid core villain to enjoy.
Friday Fiction: Necessary For Organic Life
This story is bleak, dear reader. In it, the world is ending. Most people haven’t survived—and it’s all because of one change. One pivotal alteration to our world caused everything to fall apart.
Marvel Rising: Chasing Ghosts Is So Much Worse
Marvel Rising: Chasing Ghosts is terrible. I don’t like being this negative, but wow, is this the worst of the Marvel Rising projects I’ve watched. As a follow-up to Initiation, it’s just baffling how poorly everything was handled.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Personal Screening”
“Personal Screening” made for a surreal episode to listen to, considering I’m also a movie critic. I can’t say it upped the dread or anything, but it was a little odd to listen to. Considering how many professions both series have featured, it’s actually slightly surprising that we’ve only gotten one writer character previously and only back in Archives.
Friday Fiction: Returning
Hello, dear readers! With all of the horror media we’ve been reviewing lately, it seemed a good time to mix in something lighter. Something chill and easy.
The Magnus Protocol Reviews: “Taking Notes”
“Taking Notes” was one of the hardest episodes to listen to, and not for a scary reason. “Making Adjustments” made me squirm. This simply irritated during sections of its runtime.
Marvel Rising: Initiation Is So Much Better
Marvel Rising: Initiation is one of the short, like micro short, series that are set in the same universe as the Secret Warriors movie. Kamala and Squirrel Girl are there. Patriot is there.
