Podcast host Matt Hurt (Obsessive Viewer Podcasts) loves science fiction. Yet, he has never seen The Twilight Zone. Anthology is his attempt to rectify that and broaden his sci-fi horizons. Join him as each week, Matt shares his first impressions, analysis, and overall thoughts on episodes of Rod Serling’s iconic series in chronological order. He also pairs each review with a non-spoiler review of an episode of Science Fiction Theatre, a sci-fi anthology series hosted by Truman Bradley from ...

Are you ready for all the action? Your Queens of Fantasy are back, and they're diving into part three of book 13.

Jordan's got TWO picks this week, one for you and one for the younger readers in your life. The first is a fairytale retelling YA pick, Enchanted by Alethea Kontis. The second, a firmly adult, hefty, more fantasy than romance deep cut: The Assassins of Tamurin by S.D. Tower (which is only available in print - gasp!) https://www.goodreads.com/book/s…

On Episode 296 of the Enormocast, we rebroadcast an interview that was recorded live at the Banff Mountain Film Festival with alpinist and Canadian legend, Barry Blanchard. Barry showed up at the Banff Centre at 9:45am and brought the fire and the wisdom of 50 years in the game. Barry’s feted exploits range from his … Continue reading "Enormocast 2…

The Queens are at it again, this time reading part 2 of book 13. Queens Marissa and Tay argue over exactly how bad Gawyn is. Queen Al manages to hold her tongue, even as the other two get closer and closer to the end. Expect new Aes Sedai tests, old rivalries, a growing disdain for a certain Queen who cannot be stopped, a lingering question of wher…

Katie does love a found family, and especially so in this week's pick Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard. She does warn though - this is pretty heavy in the fantasy genre with only hints at a few brewing romances on the horizon. But if you're looking for a more gender equitable high fantasy pick instead of the male lead-heavy usuals like Tolkien or …

Twelve and a prequel down, two to go! The Queens embark on the thirteenth book of the Wheel of Time series, Towers of Midnight. The Queens argue about apples and excerpts from "The Dragon Reborn", Queen Tay insists that two particular characters should not be together while Queen Marissa insists that they will be, resulting in another bet for coffe…

Welcome back to WoTSpoilers, where we are doing our last (non-prequel) Robert Jordan episode. We ponder the most important questions, like “which Forsaken is the kindest to animals” and “where did that army of 200,000 people go?” Suroth moves from the “fuck around” to the “find out” parts of her life, Taim is doing his best Elaida impression, and S…

Jordan's pick this week is getting steampunky with a master/assistant romance and a secret society of - you guessed it - super hot, immortal men. Sign me UP.

On Episode 295 of the Enormocast, I sit down at a splintery picnic table on a hot morning in Lander, Wyoming with Aaron Peterson. Aaron is a young (ish) climber for whom activism, protest, and speaking his mind goes hand in hand with his motivations as a climber. At a cost to his mental health, … Continue reading "Enormocast 295: Aaron Peterson – P…

Jordan accuses someone of murder and Katie apparently loves golden retriever characters - and neither point is related to Katie's (thoroughly enjoyed!) pick this week, Legendborn by Tracy Deonn.

Thirteen books down, two to go. In this episode of the Queens of Fantasy podcast, the Queens finish off Book Twelve of the Wheel of Time, and they have a lot of thoughts.

This week, Katie and Jordan trigger each other over an instagram comment that essentially questions the quality of any and all romantasy books (quite the statement on a podcast almost exclusively dedicated to good romantasy books - yikes). Stay bothered, readers!Katie & Jordan による

In this week’s pick, something tragic almost happened - Jordan was on the verge of DNFing our newest fav book, Reign & Ruin by J. D. Evans.

In the third part of our The Gathering Storm read, the Queens are stoked about a Nynaeve POV, concerned about Rand, confused by Mat and left on a cliffhanger.

Katie gives likely the most lukewarm review of a book ever for An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson - "it was a book." In today's world of fast fashion publishing though, that's actually decent praise. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30969741-an-enchantment-of-ravens If you're looking for something similar (and maybe better): Half a So…

Get ready for action! The Queens take on part two of Book 12, The Gathering Storm, in Robert Jordan (and Brandon Sanderson's) series, The Wheel of Time.

Kidnap me, hill king! This week we kick off The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley, a fixture in the fantasy romance genre , and perhaps some of the first-ever fan-fiction.

Jordan gets back to her roots this week with a fun, quirky, and not too serious regency romance - What I Did for a Duke by Julie Anne Long. While we're still not clear on what was done to get the duke, it's likely something naughty (especially since this is an open door romance!) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8430098-what-i-did-for-a-duke If …

An easy, breezy Kindle Unlimited book is Katie’s pick this week - The Heir and the Spare by Kate Stradling.
