Every superhero story needs a villain. Every rescue needs someone who couldn't save themselves. Every man who feels powerful has to feel powerful compared to somebody. What if that's the problem? After "Superman Replaces God," Kristine pushed back: reviving the hero archetype in a country already threatened by women's gains doesn't empower anyone — it just decides who gets to be the one with power. Henry thinks the psychology is real and ignoring it is how we got here. Kristine thinks the whole frame is a false choice, and the better answer is both/and. Join Henry Sullivan and Kristine Madera as they ask whether men still need heroes — and what it costs everyone else when they do. Friday, September 4th.

At a time when factions are calling for new parties and attempting to overturn the leadership within their own, Henry L. Sullivan III and Kristine Madera sit down to talk about the role of ideology in American life. When does conviction harden into tribal loyalty — and what happens to our grip on reality when the tribe's story starts to matter more than the truth? This conversation looks at partisanship not as a policy disagreement but as a psychological pull, and asks what it actually means to stay faithful to ideas rather than to a side.

Field Notes

The working logbook of an author turning his novel into a TV miniseries with AI — no studio, no crew, no Hollywood. Each Field Note documents what I've learned converting the full-cast audiobook of Coliseum into film: the tools, the prompts, the costs, the failures, and the workarounds. These are the things I wish someone had told me before I started — so you don't repeat my mistakes.

Every author has heard the odds. Query hundreds of agents. Wait years. Hope someone in Hollywood notices.

I stopped waiting. I’m converting the full-cast audiobook of my novel Coliseum — recorded with 11 professional voice actors — into a TV miniseries using AI video models: Seedance for action and character consistency, Kling for dialogue and camera moves, Nano Banana and Ideogram for frames, OmniHuman for lip-sync, DaVinci Resolve for the edit.

No studio. No crew. No budget beyond subscriptions and a workstation.

And I’m documenting everything in the Field Notes — the exact prompts, the failures, the workarounds, and the finished episodes.
