Blatant self-promotion for my novels because I never want to have a real job again. But, hey, it's only monthly and it's free.

Eric Goldman's Cultured Pop

Exploring what's exciting, intriguing (and occasionally infuriating) about movies, TV shows, theme parks, toys, and other entertainment.

Eric is a nerd's nerd — he's the guy I inevitably go to when there's a gap in my own knowledge of comics, sci-fi, video games, wrestling, etc. — and that deep well of knowledge comes across in his writing.

Episodic Medium

By Myles McNutt

Reviewing television one episode at a time like it's not going out of style.

Myles McNutt and friends have created a recapping community with the spirit and verve of the classic era of The AV Club. It's indispensible.

Just some things I typed or clicked on that I want to share with you. That's all.

Brian is not only among the nicest humans I've encountered, but looks at pop culture from a completely different, very funny, lens from the one I'm used to. Just prepare for lots of Thomas Crown Affair screencaps.
