TV review: ‘Schitt’s Creek’ a hilarious and heartfelt sitcom

How much do I love the show “Schitt’s Creek”? Well, in the past I’ve been very vocal about my feelings regarding the explosion of online streaming services and my frustration about having to sign up for all of them in order to watch buzz-worthy TV shows. I’m very hesitant to

TV review: ‘The Clone Wars’ finale on Disney+ a great end to the series

Even though the Star Wars prequels land at the bottom of my personal Star Wars film ranking, the computer animated Clone Wars series (which started airing in 2008) is actually one of my very favorite things in the Star Wars franchise. Fans have been intrigued by the prospect of the

Love, Heartbreak and Poetry – SOUL FORGE PODCAST 135

Love and heartbreak both lead to poetry. This week, we take a little trip down memory lane. I’m going through my archives and sharing some of my poetry with you. We will be thinking about love, happiness, longing, anger, acceptance, and so many other emotions. First though, there is some

TV review: Star Wars finds a Western vibe with new Disney+ series ‘The Mandalorian’

However, after months of hype and excitement, there

A blog of ice and fire: Thoughts on Game of Thrones season 8 (spoilers!)

After four months of gasping, cheering, and yelling at the TV, my journey through Game of Thrones came to an end this past week. In some ways I’m glad I waited till the show was completely done to start watching it (I’ll delve into that thought more later), but I’m

A blog of ice and fire: Thoughts on Game of Thrones season 7 (spoilers!)

The first six seasons of Game of Thrones were a slow-burn build-up, full of simmering tension, constantly shifting alliances, and a brutal battle for control of the Iron Throne. In season 7, it feels like the showrunners really hit the gas pedal, and all these narrative pieces start coming together

Dragon Con Friday – Failing Gloriously

It’s Friday noon and the vendor hall is a sea of bodies. It’s hard to know where to look when there are so many shiny things to catch your eye. I’m immediately drawn in by a row of beautifully hand drawn illustrations, until I see the exquisitely embroidered clothing and oh wait

Dragon Con Thursday – Betwixt and Between

Dragon Con on Thursday is a liminal space. It feels strange roaming through half full hotels. The excitement is like a low key vibration in the back of my head. There’s just enough cosplay to heighten anticipation but I’m not fully immersed yet. The low thrum of the smaller crowd isn’t enough to hide the distraction

Dancing with the Dragon

I’m sitting in the tiny Tallahassee airport attempting to guess if any of the other passengers on my flight to Atlanta are going to Dragon Con. My knee jerk first impression is probably not but what do I know? That’s the magic of a con – you can transform yourself
