With Discworld book forty, we have the last Moist Von Lipwig book. There’s been a slow but consistent trend of the Disc gaining technology over the years, and we get to see it make a giant leap into steam locomotives in this volume.
Raising Steam by Terry Pratchett (Discworld 40)
With Discworld book forty, we have the last Moist Von Lipwig book. There’s been a slow but consistent trend of the Disc gaining technology over the years, and we get to see it make a giant leap into steam locomotives in this volume.
The Odyssey
How can one review a thousands-of-years-old poem, given the movie treatment by one of the biggest movie directors working today, who, himself, is a myth in his own right? Let’s find out together!
House of the Dragon: Rhaenyra Triumphant
That about sums up the episode right there. And it can be a useful refrain for those who are also dealing with the pressures of a high-stress job.
Into the Deep
This week, we have a movie about a group of divers who are repeatedly forced into shark infested waters by criminals in order to retrieve sunken precious cargo. What? I already reviewed that?
The Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Imagine being a kid in 1986 going to see this movie expecting a fun adventure featuring all your favourite cartoon heroes only to end up having a front row seat for the animated version of the Red Wedding.
Little House on the Prairie: Season One (2026)
The Little House books were the first series I ever read. When I was eight, all of my friends were binging through them at record speed and I was right there with them. I loved these stories and over the past fifty-some years, I have reread the entire series several times. I have avoided spoilers in this article, but the comments are fair game.
Dunkirk
Dunkirk isn't your average World War II movie. It may not even be a war movie, at all. It is a big spectacle (with cross-cutting galore), and all of the crafts firing on all cylinders but instead of big battle scenes and 'men in rooms' strategizing, it pinpoints a specific window of time in the early days of the war, one whose outcome would have had a staggering effect on England's psychology.
The Vampire Lestat: Montreal
As the penultimate episode of the season, we get a mostly quiet and emotional hour between Louis and Lestat, unfortunately capped with an utterly jaw dropping cliffhanger.
Outlander Blood of My Blood: Season One, Part Two
And if you've gotten this far, could you let me know if this particular format – individual sections for every episode – works for you? We don't really have a standard format for season reviews; it's pretty much up to each writer. Talking about each episode felt like the right approach when I started writing about this season.
The Vampire Lestat: New York
Lestat finally starts talking about his lost years, which is slotting in some of the final foundational pieces of his life.
Snuff by Terry Pratchett (Discworld 39)
The thirty-ninth book of the Disc is the final book that stars the watch. And specifically focused on Sam Vimes, his wondrous wife Sybil, and their country estate. Sam is forced by his wife to take a well-needed vacation, but he’s not exactly thrilled, and once they arrive at the pastoral setting, it’s not as idyllic as advertised.
