Lionskin

In this episode I talk a bit about what I see in the movie Braveheart, specifically the movie as a grand bit of historical fantasy.

Today I talk about Mouse Guard, one of my favorite comic books (it may well be my favorite in fact) as well as comics in general, my thoughts on comedy, Celtic and Irish mythology, and of course, mice.

I wanted to talk about a fun medieval book. For some reason I chose the Silver Chair by CS Lewis. Prepare for a dive to the depths of the earth and the heights of heaven as I explore this allegory of being a conduit of Godly love.

For the inaugural episode of this iteration of The Lionskin Podcast, I talk about the most disagreeable part of The Lord of the Rings, which just happens to be the entire story’s summary. I also talk about ghosts, trees talking to each other, and I debut my own very simple arrangement of Rosin the Bow for mandolin, a traditional American, Scottish, and Irish tune from the early 1800s.

My Warriors—In this first of Lionskin Adventure, I talk about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, and my first thoughts, as I am a grown man reading it for the first time. I liked it, so if you can’t handle Harry Potter being criticized you can listen to this without fear.

My Warriors—In this episode I, Q. Alexander, talk about Lost Tapes, a bizarre found footage monster tv show that aired on Animal Planet when I was in high school, and how it is the perfect monster show.

Stand by for an important news bulletin.

A more in depth look at the themes and statements of Avengers Endgame, including current events, science, religion, culture, and of course, punching.

I watched Avengers Endgame for the first time. Hear my unedited, raw thoughts on this movie as I read and discuss a series of notes I jotted down mid-movie.

What is good in life? Not going to war with Russia, that is what. Here are my thoughts on the Russian Collusion, and how the Democratic Party used the old school Roman technique of declaring a rival people “Barbarians” for political gain. Source books: Tacitus’ Germania, and Julius Caesar’s The Conquest of Gaul.
