Episode 4 of Kat & Curt’s TV Re-View, titled “All Your Bodies Are Belong to Us,” went live last night. We’re in the thick of things, exploring 1869 Cardiff with Mr. Dickens and trying out for the cheerleading squad. If you haven’t joined the fun already, now’s as good a time to start as any. … [Read more…]
In preparing for the paper I’m presenting at the Joss in June conference at the end of the month, I’ve run across a bit of a phenomenon. To wit, about 14 – 15 months ago there appears to have set upon the internet commentariat a desire to craft “top” lists of horror movies that featured cabin … [Read more…]
With Kat & Curt’s TV Re-View (KCTVRV) launching earlier this week, I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who has helped get the word out. My co-host Kat has already done a bit of reciprocity, but I don’t think we can thank these folks enough. Dr. Amy H. Sturgis has been a great … [Read more…]

Having waited a week after the raucous manhunt for the Boston marathon bombers, I had been planning to write about militias and gun-related laws in Massachusetts, based on some commentary I had seen flit across my Facebook feed. But it seems something much more important has cropped up to discuss at this particular moment in … [Read more…]
It’s no secret that Sirsy is my favorite indie band. I’ve been following them for about three-and-a-half years now, and their latest album, Coming Into Frame (my review), is the first album of new material that they’ve released since I first saw them in 2009. I’m excited for the band because since their album came … [Read more…]

(Perhaps I need to work on my shocking skills…) Coming Into Frame is Sirsy’s fifth studio album, and their first under the Funzalo Records label. It’s also their first … [Read more…]
Published in the April 2013 issue of Analog Science Fiction & Fact. What happens when first contact with a feather-bedecked alien species kidnaps welfare-recipient Dana Brooks and her children, then subjects them to moderate psychological examination using English learned from TV before benevolently returning them three days later? There’s no point in warning about spoilers … [Read more…]
