In our lengthier second half, we'll get into all the fun stories and behind the scenes bits for the final season of the beloved cult scifi series.

In this scripted look back at T.N.G.'s final season, we go episode by episode for the first half of this two-parter.

In this off-the-cuff recording, settle in for a long discussion of the penultimate season of T.N.G. episode by episode, including some personal favorites.

This episode focuses on a couple of recent releases, one direct to video and another released on streaming.

This episode is more blog style than scripted, so it's more off the cuff. Please enjoy.

This is an off-the cuff, blog style review of the latest Marvel movie and the last of a beloved trilogy. There are spoilers, so this is more for if you have already seen it. However, if you haven't yet, I don't ruin it too much, but try to give you some things to look for.

In this episode, we go even more in-depth on Taskmaster as a series, and a franchise that spans the globe, and some of the problems that arose with the US adaptation.

One of the most popular series on British TV for the past several years is a kind of reality game show called Taskmaster. In this piece, we'll take a look at the show.

The retrospective ends and I offer some thoughts to the audience to spare any bruised feelings from what I've said in the think-pieces so far.

Inspired by news of HBOMax wanting to produce a prequel series about the town of Derry from Steven King's IT, this is a combination opinion piece & retrospective on the past century of prequels that various producers have pumped out. We start out with some final thoughts on reboots done right & how they can expand into other fun stories. In part 2, we'll finish and I'll offer some final thoughts.

With a lot of franchises committing to remakes, reboots, reimaginings, regurgitation & so on, it gets me on a tear about just how far all this goes. Even if the idea is nothing new (just look at how many versions of Dracula & Sherlock Holmes exist), there comes a time to say we've had enough of this as an audience.

Look for the next episode soon, where we'll examine movie prequels.
