It’s the 5th Anniversary of The BizzleCast, folks! And I’m thrilled to be talking my current favorite obsession on screen and the page — no, not THE WITCHER — but indeed THE EXPANSE with my good buddy and BizzleCast contributor Adam Dietz. The main characters, the setup of the story and the near future Sol System situation, the tech, the conflicts, the early adventures, the broad political and social themes, and so much more. THE EXPANSE show and even more so books are so so fantastic, fun, thought provoking and much more. This is one of my favorite conversations in a while on the podcast, so I’m thrilled to launch my 5th Anniversary with this bad boy.

And even more great news — we also recorded two more podcasts about STAR WARS and another about Dietz’s new album, his life as a musician, the ups and downs of the artistic process, and even delve into our journeys and struggles with mental health and its relation to being an artist or just a creative and free thinker, so look for those in the coming days and weeks right here on The BizzleCast!

All I have to say is that I predicted all of this back in September of last year, just check out my The BizzleCast 259: A Fantabulously Furious BizzleCast Rant: Margot Robbie (or DC) HAVE YOU LOST YOUR DAMN MINDS with THE BIRDS OF PREY??

And yes, it’s even more horrifying than you think.

What else more needs to be said. Two and a half glorious hours exploring, praising, and coming up with crazy theories about THE WITCHER with JGG! My resident Star Wars lore expert and very very good friend, I was thrilled beyond compare that JediGeekGirl took a chance with THE WITCHER which she knew nothing about, and even more thrilling, she loved it Like so many of us! If you need some major positivity about pop culture and social conscious and beautiful art, look no further. “I REBEL!”

THE WITCHER Season 1 FINALE full-length commentary by The Bizzle!

What else is there to say. An amazing first season of a brilliant property in a series that’s only going to get better as the Ciri Saga builds and builds and builds. This has been awesome, and I’m not nearly done with Geralt, Yenn, Triss, Dandelion, and of course, the Lion Cub of Cintra, Ciri. Much love to all.

While Simi has enjoyed the recent Star Wars offerings (THE MANDALORIAN and THE RISE OF SKYWALKER) waaaay more than The Bizzle (no surprise here) and isn’t as crazy in love with THE WITCHER tv series as I am (but he loves the books like we all do), this podcast is very much a culmination of The BizzleCast in 2019 where I pivoted hard — subtly at first and than totally blatantly — from Star Wars to The Witcher on the podcast as I increasingly felt that a) Star Wars was headed towards a downswing and would inevitably keep disappointing and dividing many fans, but more importantly b) that The Witcher was going to for sure take the world by storm and that I couldn’t wait to experience it all.

I may have only made a handful of spectacularly prophetic predictions in five years of podcasting (Elizabeth Olsen and Ahsoka Tano come to mind for you fans out there!) but my confidence that THE WITCHER would be awesome and the world would love it is probably my best but also the one I felt most confident about. And because of that, my disappointment with Star Wars at the end of this past year is barely an afterthought as I bask in the glory of the directors, actors, writers, and everyone else on the cast and crew of THE WITCHER who made Season One so special but is going to blow people away more and more as we get into the full Ciri Saga!!!!
