This is where I, a certified Internet Nobody, talk about whatever I want, because I don't imagine anyone's listening. New episodes every other Sunday (more or less).
I finally watched the Barbie movie. It wasn't great. Listen to my lukewarm take and promises of better things to come.Thanks for listening! Support the show or follow me around the internet:TwitterInstagramWebsite
We are once again squeaking into a liturgical season. Before (or as) we switch from white (to red) to green, join me as I ramble though The Return of the King, which I think you'll find is pretty liturgically appropriate.Thanks for listening!

A sort of review of the new adaptation of Persuasion on Netflix starring Dakota Johnson. You may or may not like it. The movie, not the episode. This episode is great and you will love it.TwitterInstagramWebsiteSupport the show
I got to read Anthony Doerr's new novel Cloud Cuckoo Land before it comes out this Tuesday, so I reviewed it for you all. TL;DR version: it's good, you should read it.TwitterInstagramWebsiteSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/idontimagine)
I read Ender's Game over Labor Day Weekend and then I decided to revisit the movie. It's a bit of a slippery fish when it comes to adapting this particular IP and maybe it should just be left alone. Beware: spoilers abound.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/idontimagine)

Join me as I drone on about the various languages I took at various points in my education in my perpetual search for the point that I was trying to make.

I am a big fan of the Loki series that just concluded its first season on Disney+. Give a listen as I go through the show episode by episode with my takes and reactions. There will be spoilers. So many spoilers. I think the only thing I don't spoil is Alligator Loki. ...whoops.TwitterInstagramWebsiteSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/idontimagine)
You may have noticed there was no episode last weekend. Was it because it was Independence Day? Was it because I forgot? Or am I trying to buy myself time because I don't have anything else recorded? Who's to say?Whatever the reason, feast your ears on some poetry, both proper poets' poetry, read badly by me, and some other poetry, written badly by me. It had been many years since I read said bad poetry and I forgot just how terrible it is. I hope it entertains you as much as it did me.InstagramTwitterWebsiteSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/idontimagine)
What is it that makes you see yourself in a fictional character? Or, what is it about a fictional character that makes you feel represented by them? I take issue with the popular understanding of representation in media in an episode that might get me in trouble if, you know, anyone were listening.InstagramTwitterWebsiteSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/idontimagine)
