The Wraiths have arrived! In this episode we discuss Aaron Allston's Wraith Squadron, the story of Wedge Antilles assembling a squadron of damaged, dangerous, and deeply weird misfits for the New Republic's most unconventional missions. We talk characters, covert operations, Allston's unique blend of humor and heartbreak, and why Wraith Squadron works so well as a team. And, naturally, we ask some questions that the New Republic probably wishes we hadn't.

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda are back to finalize their coverage of "Devour Me," book 1 in Emily Rath's Devour Me series. Please note: this is book 1 in a series with 3 books, and we don't know when the other books are coming out! But you should still read it for the spice, although you might get annoyed by some of the repetitive statements made by the characters. Anyways, listen to the episode to get all the unfiltered thoughts and commentary.

Episode Overview & Updates Larry's friends Greg Simons, Brian Feenhold, and Rick Lambert are currently attending the Lander's One-Shot Antelope Hunt. Fellow hunter John Landgrath is out in the field hunting reindeer and European buffalo, also known as wisent. Larry is gearing up for an October 1st black bear bow hunt at the Choctaw Hunting Lodge. He is practicing with a 10-point crossbow and sever broadheads. His goal is to harvest a large bear for a full-body mount for the lodge. Larry shares a health update, noting he recovered from pericarditis last year. This required the removal of a liter of fluid from his heart sac. A new book collaboration is currently underway with Jim Zumbo, Rick Lambert, and Luke Clayton. Hunters should start rattling as soon as the first serious scrapes appear in the woods. Early rattling in October can successfully draw in bucks, even in regions where the peak breeding season isn't until December. Begin by gently rubbing antlers against trees or bushes to simulate a buck making a scrape. After this initial sequence, hunters should rattle periodically every hour. Hunters must remember that older, mature bucks are highly cautious. These big bucks will consistently approach from downwind. Wraith by Burnham Brothers: Larry highly recommends this spray formula. It is designed to eliminate human odor and mask your thermal imaging in the field. Stealth Vision Red Dot: This 3 MOA dot sight mounts easily on a Picatinny rail. Larry uses it on his Taurus handguns and achieves incredibly tight, one-and-a-half-inch groups at 100 yards. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda discuss part 1 of "Devour Me," book 1 in Emily Rath's Devour Me series. And boy, does this book start setting the tone for spooky season: secret with covens, a mysterious burial site, spooky ravens, and a ravenous wraith, but you also know it needs to have something more than pumpkin spice, so you we're supposed to get some MMF action.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Troy back on the show as they discuss the 1986 horrorish sci-fi movie The Wraith.  Apparently Charlie Sheen had a layover in Arizona on his way to Asia to film Platoon, and he used the couple hours that gave him to film an entire movie where he plays a car, a kid named Jamie and a kid named Jack.   You would need tigers blood too, to handle all those rolls. This movie feels a little like Christine (killer car) and a little like every revenge movie ever made (killing the killers), but somehow it all seems to work.  This movie was obviously made on a shoe string budget but they got to use a prototype Dodge Turbo Interceptor, which looks pretty cool.  Enjoy the podcast!!Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing).

Every door in Atlantis seals at once. Communications, ventilation, sensors and internal transport all go down, the expedition is scattered across the city in pairs, and the one man everyone assumes will fix it is locked in the botany lab with no computer, no radio, and a diamond ring in his pocket. "Quarantine" is the 13th episode of Stargate Atlantis season 4, and it is a bottle episode in the strictest sense — the characters aren't merely on standing sets, they're physically sealed inside them. [**Lisa Jones**](https://sqpn.com/team_member/lisa-jones/), [**Jeff Haecker**](https://www.sqpn.com/team_member/jeff-haecker/) and [**Victor Lams**](https://www.sqpn.com/team_member/victor-lams/) work through why a talky, trapped-in-a-room hour lands here when so many don't. The answer is the pairings. **Rodney McKay** spends the crisis catastrophizing at **Katie Brown**, who stays patient right up to the point it becomes clear these two shouldn't marry. **Ronon** and **Dr. Keller** trade the worst things that ever happened to them — she was a child prodigy who never fit in, he lost everyone he knew to the Wraith — and nearly kiss. **Teyla** admits to **Sheppard** that she's frightened her son will grow up with no parents; Sheppard tells her the expedition is her family. **Carter** and **Zelenka** sweat out the lockdown in a transporter the size of a closet while he explains why nothing she suggests will work. Then there's the password. Sheppard reconstructs Rodney's from memory — Newton, Einstein, 1968, and 42 — and Teyla's reaction to the last one is the best beat in the episode. The panel also gets into how it was made. **Carl Binder** pitched the script to director **Martin Wood**, fresh off *Stargate: Continuum*, as "a parlor drama." The long sequence of doors sealing across Atlantis is one set of doors, redressed and reshot. The shutters in McKay's lab are CG, because that set has no practical windows. The transporter scenes took a day and a half in a four-walled box. And the tower climb is where the budget went after an effects-heavy stretch of the season — the one showpiece in an episode built to be cheap. It was also the first episode shot after the summer hiatus, which is why Teyla goes from barely showing to full maternity wear between episodes. Plus: Joseph Mallozzi's ultimate-starship-crew bracket on X pits Todd against Ronon, Michael Shanks announces a Stargate rewatch podcast with David Read of Dial the Gate, and Tori writes in about Kate Hewlett. The post Quarantine (SGA) appeared first on StarQuest Media.

The Wraith don't breed. They're grown. Season 4's "Spoils of War" (S4E12) finally shows how, and Jeff Haecker, Lisa Jones, and Victor Lams weigh a cloning facility, a pregnant Teyla, and the episode where Sheppard names Todd. The post Spoils of War (SGA) appeared first on StarQuest Media.

A mature animal does not have to see a hunter to know that danger is nearby. In this episode, we sit down with outdoor innovator and inventor Brett Andrews for a fascinating conversation about WRAITH—a new approach to hunter concealment designed to go far beyond ordinary scent-control sprays. Brett explains the ideas, experimentation and product-development journey behind what WRAITH calls its 4-Way “SENSE” Eliminator. Rather than concentrating exclusively on human odor, WRAITH is designed to help reduce four potential detection signals: scent and volatile organic compounds, ultraviolet reflectance, bioelectric fields, and thermal or infrared signatures. The conversation explores how animals experience their environment differently than humans, why hunters should think beyond what they can personally see or smell, and how chemistry may offer an additional layer of concealment in the field. Brett also shares the entrepreneurial side of bringing an unconventional outdoor product to market—the testing, skepticism, setbacks and persistence involved in turning an ambitious idea into a product hunters can evaluate for themselves. Brett's background in hunting, outdoor-product development and scent-control technology The experiences that led to the creation of WRAITH Why controlling human odor remains important—but may be only one part of the concealment equation How UV brighteners in clothing and detergents may make hunting apparel more noticeable The concepts of bioelectric detection, thermal gradients and infrared signatures WRAITH's four-part approach to scent, UV, bioelectric and thermal concealment Why the product is supplied as a concentrated powder rather than a conventional premixed spray How activated carbon, zeolite and other ingredients are intended to work together Applying WRAITH to outerwear, boots, packs, blinds and other hunting equipment The importance of field testing instead of relying solely on marketing claims What it takes to challenge long-established thinking within the hunting industry Brett's vision for the future of full-spectrum hunter concealment WRAITH is designed to address odor through multiple processes rather than simply covering human scent with another fragrance. The company describes its approach as oxidizing, neutralizing, adsorbing and suppressing odor-producing compounds. Many common laundry products contain optical brighteners. Brett discusses why hunting clothes that appear normal to human eyes may look different within the ultraviolet portion of the spectrum. Every living body produces a measurable electrical field. WRAITH's formula is intended to reduce or alter the strength of that signal through a spray-on treatment that can be applied to existing clothing and equipment. The conversation examines thermal contrast, radiant heat and the possibility that animals may respond to temperature differences at close range. WRAITH is designed to reduce the strength of those signals rather than make a hunter literally invisible to thermal imaging. WRAITH is not presented as a replacement for woodsmanship. Hunters still need to understand the wind, plan their approach, control movement, remain quiet and make responsible decisions in the field. Instead, the product represents another potential layer within a complete concealment strategy. Whether you are a whitetail hunter, bowhunter, turkey hunter, predator hunter or simply interested in the science and innovation behind modern hunting equipment, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at how much animals may perceive—and how much hunters still have to learn. Brett Andrews is an outdoor-product inventor associated with TRHP Outdoors and Hunt Lab Technologies. His work includes the development of WRAITH and other products intended to solve practical problems for hunters, anglers and outdoorsmen. Explore WRAITH's official product information, application directions, testing explanations and four-way concealment technology through the official WRAITH Hunting website. Follow Brett Andrews on social media at @brettandrews87 for product demonstrations, field testing, hunting-industry appearances and updates from WRAITH and Hunt Lab Technologies. Listen to the complete episode to hear Brett explain the thinking behind WRAITH, the challenges of developing a new category of hunting technology and why he believes concealment should involve more than camouflage and scent control.

Atlantis aims Earth ships, Wraith hives, and Traveler vessels at the same planet in Stargate Atlantis S4E11. Victor Lams, Jeff Haecker, and Lisa Jones on the biggest battle the franchise ever staged, and the face in that last shot. The post Be All My Sins Remember’d (SGA) appeared first on StarQuest Media.

The party is split. Ze and Boris are riding the rails, while Cleo, Robin and Trevor take to the skies aboard Jordan to reclaim their hard-won spoiler and rescue R.E.E.S.E. from the galaxy's worst parking job. They hatch a quick plan with a healthy dose of “Robin diplomacy” Somehow, the Terrans, the Synths and the Wraiths all seem to be working together for once, forcing Cleo into yet another lesson on why “just smoke everyone” is not a reliable conflict resolution strategy. With the train's resident explosives enthusiast in tow, Team Bastard attempts a mid-air rescue, complete with body-snatching, questionable ethics, and far more confidence than planning. For once, everything actually seems to be coming together.

Ronon's Satedan comrades are back — and they've been turned by the Wraith. Jeff Haecker, Lisa Jones, and Victor Lams break down SGA S4E3 "Reunion," Carter's first episode in command of Atlantis. The post Reunion (SGA) appeared first on StarQuest Media.

In this episode, Larry Weishuhn sits down with veteran hunter Gary Robertson to discuss a revolutionary new hunting product called Wraith. Gary shares his firsthand field experiences testing the product, detailing its surprising effectiveness in outsmarting the keen senses of various wildlife species. Gary, initially a skeptic of scent-control products, shares his extensive field testing of a new formula developed by Hunt Labs Technologies. Scent Elimination: Gary successfully used the product to mask his scent from highly perceptive animals, including whitetail deer, coyotes, and antelope. Application Strategies: Spraying the product directly on boots, legs, and game calls prevented predators from picking up a human scent trail on the ground. Thermal Blocking: The most surprising discovery was that Wraith effectively blocks the human body's thermal and heat signatures. Field Evidence: Gary captured video footage of downwind animals—including a mature whitetail buck and an antelope at just 13 steps—looking right through him without spooking. Upcoming Hunts: Gary plans to test the product's limits on upcoming bear and feral hog hunts, given their notoriously sharp sense of smell. Market Availability: The product is slated for a fall release and will be available through Hunt Labs Technologies, Burnham Brothers, and Amazon. Content Creation: Gary will be documenting the entire process, sharing the field footage via a new monthly video podcast series to visually demonstrate the product's capabilities. Summer Predator Hunting: The hosts discuss the effectiveness of fawn distress calls during the summer months to manage coyote populations and protect fawns. Historical Wildlife Threats: Larry and Gary briefly reflect on historical wildlife challenges, particularly the devastating impact of screwworms on deer populations in South Texas prior to their eradication.

In episode 306, we looked at the advantages of taking your book wide to all retailers. In this week's episode, we'll look at the other side of the coin and examine eight advantages to placing your book in Kindle Unlimited. This coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Doom of the Sorceress, Book #8 in the Dragonskull series, (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store: JUNEDOOM The coupon code is valid through July 7, 2026. So if you need a new audiobook this summer, we've got you covered! 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 308 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is June 19th, 2026 and today we are looking at the advantages of using Kindle Unlimited for your books. Two weeks ago, we had an episode about the advantages of going wide and distributing it away from Amazon, but there is another side of the coin and today we're going to look at it in the advantages of Kindle Unlimited. We also have an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects and Coupon of the Week. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Doom of the Sorceress, Book #8 in the Dragonskull series (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills), at my Payhip store. That code is JUNEDOOM. As always, the coupon code and the links to my Payhip store will be available in these show notes for this episode. This coupon code will be valid through July 7th, 2026. So if you need a new audiobook for your travels this summer, we have got you covered. So now let's take a look at where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. I'm pleased to report that the rough draft of Blade of Thieves is done. It turned out to be just about as long as Blade of Wraiths. I'm also finished with Orcish Fury, which will be the bonus short story that newsletter subscribers will get a free ebook copy of when Blade of Thieves comes out. I am now editing Blade of Thieves. The first two chapters are edited. I am not sure how many chapters I'll end up with because I've gotten into the habit of splitting up longer chapters into shorter chapters lately since readers seem to prefer that. I do think the book will probably be out after 4th of July weekend if all goes well, because it is a big book and I'm going to have to do a fair bit of editing and I do have a few more things to do in real life that might slow the process down. But if all goes well, the book should be out shortly after the 4th of July weekend. I am also 13,000 words into Cloak of Frost, which will be my next main project once Blade of Thieves is finally done. That will probably be available in August, if all goes well. In audiobook news, at the moment I have no audiobooks in active production, but that will change next month because Leanne Woodward will be recording Dragon-Mage. Hollis McCarthy will be recording Cloak of Worlds and Brad Wills will be recording Blade of Thieves once I finally get it done. So it's funny how things always seem to do a bunch up like that rather than having a more conveniently distributed fashion, but I suppose that's just the nature of life. In other audiobook news, I mentioned earlier that Cloak of Dragons is now available in Audible Plus for those of you who are Audible listeners who have a plan that includes that. Before too much longer, I'm going to start working on the audiobook version of Cloak Mage Omnibus Four, which will combine I believe Cloak of Embers, Cloak of Titans, and Cloak of Illusion into one audiobook bundle. I've done that before [in] the past [with] Cloak Mage books and it's worked pretty well, so we're going to do it with this one as well. I'm going to start working on that next week because I've got to make the cover and then it takes forever to upload all the audiobook files. Hopefully that will be out sometime in July, if all goes well. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing and audiobook projects. 00:03:23 Main Topic of the Week: When and Why to Put Your Books in Kindle Unlimited (KU) Now let's move on to our main topic this week, when and why to put your books in Kindle Unlimited. You might remember that two weeks ago (with Episode 306, I believe) we discussed the advantages and benefits of taking your books wide and not exclusive to Amazon. However, there are reasons it might actually be a good decision to put your books in Kindle Unlimited. In this week's episode, we'll talk about why you might want to consider putting your book in Kindle Unlimited. First, we should discuss how Kindle Unlimited actually works, defining our terms, so to speak. Kindle Unlimited is Amazon's merchandising program for ebooks, essentially. To use the program, you agree that your ebook will be exclusive to Amazon for the next three months (and by default, it auto renews, but you can turn that off in the dashboard). The advantages to you for using Kindle Unlimited are that in addition to buying your book outright, people can also check it out in the Kindle Unlimited program and then you get paid based on how many pages they read. The payout typically varies, but it's usually 45% of one cent [USD] per page read. For example, Half-Elven Thief, you can buy it for $4.99, but in terms of Kindle Unlimited, it comes to about 300 Kindle Unlimited pages, which means that if a reader reads the entire book, I typically get about $1.35 for a complete read. Obviously, this advantages longer books, whereas with the sale of the book, I would get like $3.49, which is significantly more, but it is possible to make up in volume of page reads lost sales on other platforms if the circumstances are right. So that is how Kindle Unlimited works. And now we will look at eight reasons why it is a good idea or why it might be a good idea and why it might be advantageous for you to put your books into Kindle Unlimited. #1: Certain genres are KU dominant. This is not true across all genres, but certain genres tend to be heavily dominated by Kindle Unlimited readers. For example, LitRPG is a unique case because the most popular LitRPG tends to be in serialized form on sites like Royal Road and similar sites, but when it does come to ebook form, it's usually on Kindle Unlimited. So if you're looking to read LitRPG, you will find most of it on Kindle Unlimited and not on the other sites. Other genres tend to be not totally dominant to that effect the way that LitRPG is, but do still have a great deal of strength in Kindle Unlimited, such as military sci-fi, certain kind of thrillers, and certain romance genres as well tend to be very heavily dominated by Kindle Unlimited. So if you are writing in one of those genres, it may be worth your while to consider that it may be advantageous to you to put your book in Kindle Unlimited and see how it performs. #2: The Kindle Unlimited Boost It's no secret that Amazon definitely puts its thumb on the scales for Kindle Unlimited books as opposed to regular ebooks. I've noticed that Kindle Unlimited books tend to go higher in the Amazon rankings. They tend to stay up there for longer than non-Kindle Unlimited books and that reviews generally show up faster for Kindle Unlimited books than they do for non-Kindle Unlimited books. That last part might vary, but the ranking thing is true. It's also true that the higher a book stays in the Amazon rankings and for longer, the more likely it is Amazon is to generate "we think you might like this" emails and send them out to readers in hopes of drawing them to your books. So it is true that Amazon definitely gives a lot of advantages to Kindle Unlimited books that other books don't get. And depending on your sales strategy and your genre, as we mentioned before, it might be worthwhile for your book to be in Kindle Unlimited. #3: Your sales data supports it. If you publish a book wide and after you look at a couple of months of sales data and you notice something like 95% of the sales are coming from Amazon, it might be worthwhile to consider taking the book exclusive and putting it in Kindle Unlimited since in that instance, the boost of page reads and page reads revenue would make up for the sales you clearly aren't getting on the other platforms. Now the threshold for this obviously varies a good deal. I've had months in the past where only like 45% of my revenue came from Amazon and in some of my older series in particular, the Amazon revenue tends to only be around like 40 to 45% and the rest comes from all the other retailers. So in that case, obviously it would be a very poor decision to take the book exclusive to Amazon and take it off all the other retailers. So this is a case where it is once again a good idea to monitor your sales data closely so you can make informed decision rather than working off of gut hunches and guesswork. #4: It permits you to reach readers who aren't buying individual books and value conscious readers. When I've talked about Kindle Unlimited on Facebook and my website in the past, I usually get comments from people who point out that they are on fixed incomes, whether from retirement or disability or taking care of other relatives and so forth and that Kindle Unlimited for them is a great deal because in exchange for $12 a month, they can read as many KU books as they have time to read. That is true. Kindle Unlimited is a much better deal for readers than it is for the majority of writers. And having your book in Kindle Unlimited is a way to reach those value conscious readers who will not buy individual ebooks for whatever reason, whether budgetary constraints or other reasons but do have a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Kindle Unlimited offers you a way to reach those readers that you otherwise would not and that is a potentially useful advantage. #5: It helps you to find new readers and binge readers. Kindle Unlimited kind of works a little bit like the permafree strategy, which I've discussed before, where that if you make the first book in your series free, people are more likely to take a chance on it than they would otherwise. The same thing is true of Kindle Unlimited because if someone's already paid the Kindle Unlimited subscription for a month, it's a sunk cost and therefore there is no disadvantage or additional cost to them for trying out your book and that can potentially lead to a strong sales boost for you if someone discovers your books and likes it. Additionally, if you have a series, every time you release a new book in the series, there is a strong chance your previous books will get a boost. This has been my strategy with the Half-Elven Thief series for the last two and a half years. Now, every time I release a new book in the series, I am fortunate enough that it does well enough that it goes high in the ranks for a while and that causes a sort of halo effect as people discover the previous books in the series for the first time and read through them with their Kindle Unlimited subscriptions, which generates a lot of page reads and therefore revenue. As I said before, a complete read through of Half-Elven Thief, the first book in a series by itself tends to get me around $1.30 to $1.50, depending on what the KU payout rate is that month. By contrast, if a Kindle Unlimited reader reads through all six books in the series, that tends to be around $8 to $8.50, which is a good chunk of revenue. These are often people who, as I mentioned in the previous point, would not have bought the individual ebooks. So that is potentially a big advantage, especially if you write in series and you regularly release in that series because then you get the halo effect to it. #6: It simplifies your ads and marketing strategy. I've often recommended to people who are just starting out self-publishing that it's a good idea to start on Amazon and KU and then see if they want to expand later because it's very simple to just manage one dashboard as opposed to like seven or eight different retailers. As self-publishers get more advanced experience, they tend to prefer to go wide. This also means that your ads are simplified because then you just have to worry about Amazon ads. You can do BookBub ads for KU books. I have not found that to be very advantageous because it's so expensive, but Amazon ads for KU books tend to be very effective and fairly cost effective so long as you monitor the costs and keep your cost per click and ad budget down closely. #7: KU has kind of what I call an immediacy bias. It definitely favors new material over older material. I would not say it's a good idea to take an old series out and put it in KU, especially if it's been on Amazon for several years because the Amazon algorithm definitely tends to reward newness. Self-publishers will talk about the 30, 60, and 90 day cliff where sales tend to drop off, partly from just the organic effect of the book having reached most of its target audience and partly because the Amazon algorithms stop pushing it so much once they reach those points. Kindle Unlimited really, really likes new stuff and I think they change the algorithms on a regular basis, but I think it gives a strong advantage to new stuff. So that ties in if you write a long series and publish new books in it on a regular basis, then you will probably see a strong advantage from that because each new additional book you published in the series will get that new book Halo Effect, which will then boost the other books in the series and that's happening with Half-Elven Thief right now with Dragon-Mage boosting the previous books in the series. #8: Don't plan on keeping your books in Kindle Unlimited forever. As I mentioned in previous episodes of this podcast, my strategy going forward is to only write three series at a time, two of which will be wide and one of which will be in Kindle Unlimited. Once Half-Elven Thief is finished, and I've written the ninth book in the series and it's all wrapped up, I will take it out of Kindle Unlimited and take it to the other platforms because of KU's newness bias. As I mentioned before, since I will no longer be writing new books in the Half-Elven Thief series, they will no longer get that halo boost of page reads from a new book and therefore it makes sense to take it out of Kindle Unlimited and then take it wide to other retailers. I know of other indie authors who do this. [They] will start out their series in Kindle Unlimited and then when it's complete, take it wide to other retailers and that is something I think is worth thinking about if you are publishing your book in Kindle Unlimited is that once the series is done and once you're no longer publishing new books that receive advantages from KU's preference for new material, it is definitely time to start thinking about taking the series out of Kindle Unlimited and putting it on other platforms. Indeed, this is advice I'm going to follow myself once Half-Elven Thief is finished. So there are eight potential reasons putting your book in Kindle Unlimited might be advantageous to you and now the question always tends to be a bit of a binary one is like, should my book be wide? Should my book be in Kindle Unlimited? The secret is there is no right answer. There is just the answer that is right for you and your individual circumstances at this point in time. Like I mentioned earlier, myself, I'm doing a hybrid strategy where most of my books remain wide and most of my new books are wide, but I do have one series in Kindle Unlimited that I am continuing and that might work for you if you write fast enough or it might work better for you to be wide. It might work what better for you to be in Kindle Unlimited. It is just important to reflect and soberly and honestly analyze the data and then make the best decision that is right for you and your self-publishing business. So that is it for this week.

So if you need a new audiobook this summer, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates   Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 306 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is June 5th, 2026 and today we'll discuss eight reasons you should diversify your book sales beyond Amazon. We'll also talk about Coupon of the Week and give a progress update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects.   So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Wrath of the Warlock, Book #7 in the Dragonskull series (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills), at my Payhip store. That coupon code is WARLOCKJUNE. As always, the coupon code and the links to my Payhip store will be available in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code is valid through June 22nd, 2026, So if you need a new audiobook for the summer as you go on a summer road trip, we have got you covered. Now let's talk about my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. As of this recording, I am 80,000 words into Blade of Thieves, which puts me in Chapter 17 of 25 of my outline. So we're closing in on the end. I think we're going to be about 110-115,000 words or thereabouts in the rough draft. So hopefully a couple more solid pushes and we'll get there to the end. I hope to be at 90,000 words by this point, but there is quite a lot to do in real life so we didn't quite get there, but 80,000 words is still better than nothing. For Cloak of Frost, as of this recording, I am now 9,000 words into it and that will be my main project once Blade of Thieves is done. I was hoping to have Blade of Thieves come out in June, but July is looking more likely at this point. Hopefully Cloak of Frost will come out the month after Blade Thieves comes out, whenever that is.   In audiobook news, I'm pleased to report that Blade of Wraiths (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) is now out at all audiobook platforms. Get it at Audible, Amazon, Apple, Google Play, Kobo Books, Chirp, my own Payhip store and all the usual audiobook stores. At the moment, I have no other audiobooks in active production, but once Blade of Thieves is done, Brad will also be recording that. Later this month, Hollis McCarthy is scheduled to start on Cloak of Worlds and in July, Leanne Woodward is going to record Dragon-Mage, the most recent Rivah book. So we don't have any audiobooks being produced right now, but we will in the future. So that is where I am at with my current writing, audiobook, and publishing projects.   00:02:32 Main Topic of the Week: Beyond Amazon: Reasons to Diversify Your Sales Platform   Now onto our main topic this week, Beyond Amazon: Reasons to Diversify Your Sales Platform, which is something you know I do quite often given how often I talk about my links to my Payhip store on this very podcast.   For a long time, the conventional wisdom has been that Amazon has 80% of the US book market and putting your ebooks into Kindle Unlimited was the best route of success because of that monopoly and some of the algorithmic benefits Amazon gives to KU authors. While it's true that certain genres (especially LitRPG and romance) are almost exclusively focused on Amazon and KU in the US, going exclusive with Amazon is not necessarily the best course of action for everyone, especially if you're interested in growing your international sales.   Today we'll talk about reasons why putting your books in KU is limiting and in the interest of fairness, in two weeks, we will also be doing an episode later [about] when putting your book in KU is a good idea and some of the benefits of that. But today we're going to start with the benefits of diversification. Here are eight reasons you might want to consider moving beyond just Amazon, which is often called going wide in the Indie Publishing world. #1: Increasing your global reach.   It may surprise you to know that the Kindle store is not available in every country and that other countries have a strong competitor to the Kindle store. For example, in Canada, Kobo is Amazon's main competitor and has traditionally a strong market share there, quite a bit larger than Amazon Canada based on my own sales data. Kobo is also very strong in many European markets. Additionally, because there are many more Android users internationally than there are in the US, Google Play Books is important in non-US countries. It's also an easy platform for users and integrates into the Google ecosystem as well. Data usually finds that while the iPhone [iOS] is dominant in the United States, Android tends to be the majority mobile operating system in the rest of the world. So if you want to access Android users in the Google Play Book Store, then you want to be on Google Play Books. #2: Some people are boycotting Amazon.   There are many readers who boycott Amazon or American-led companies for a number of reasons. It is possible to overstate the strength of these. I've seen many people be alarmed about Amazon boycotts impacting their sales, but it never really seems to materialize. I suspect a lot of the boycotting thing is much louder online than it is in real life. That said, it is undeniable. There are people who will not buy ebooks or anything from Amazon for a variety of reasons. So if you sell your books only through Amazon, you're missing out on that group of readers. Some categories of romance have also been affected by Amazon boycotts, so it's worth investigating other options if you're an author in these categories.   #3: Kobo Plus.   Kobo offers a subscription program called Kobo Plus that unlike KU, does not require exclusivity to participate in it. Over three million ebooks and 100,000 audiobooks (quite a few of which are mine) are available to subscribers for less than the cost of a KU subscription. Kobo has been gaining popularity in the US in part due to their subscription program. I have to admit my own personal experience with Kobo Plus as an indie author has been almost entirely positive. When it first came out, I was a little leery of it, but then I decided to test it out by putting Frostborn into it and that did quite well and I was pleased enough with the results that now I just put everything in Kobo on Kobo Plus and that has paid off because the majority of my month to month Kobo revenue and the majority of my yearly Kobo revenue comes from Kobo Plus now. In March and April, I had two of my best months ever on Kobo in the 14 years I've been publishing with Kobo entirely off the strength of Kobo Plus. So my experience with it has been if you write a really long series like that that generates a strong read through (like Frostborn is 15 books, Sevenfold Sword was 12 books, Cloak Mage as of this point is up to 14 books), then it would be definitely advantageous to you to investigate Kobo Plus.   #4: It gives you the chance to support independent booksellers through bookshop.org.   This past year, bookshop.org made a deal with Draft2Digital that made it possible for indie authors to put their books on the bookshop.org platform. In the past, has not been particularly easy or straightforward for small indie bookstores to sell ebooks, so this is an opportunity for physical indie bookstores based in the US. For American readers who want to shop local but still read ebooks, it's nice to be able to offer them an option that benefits their local communities. It also gives these bookstores a way of supporting local authors without having to find physical space for them within the store itself. Bookshop.org is still in the early stages of accepting indie ebooks and there are some things that need to be worked out with features on their app, especially about user complaints about a lack of flexibility with DRM-free e-books. Still, romance and what the site calls "serious nonfiction" are growing rapidly on the platform, so it's definitely worth exploring, especially for authors in those categories. If they do succeed in their plans to put out their own ereader, that would make the platform even more attractive to many book buyers.   #5: Direct sales equals greater profit, extras, price fixability, et cetera.    Having your own sales platform (typically hosted on sites like Payhip and Shopify) gives you far more control over your sales platform. It also gives you a far greater cut of the profits. To give an example, if I do a coupon code for one of my audiobooks on my Payhip site to make it 50% off like I did earlier in this episode with the Dragonskull: Wrath of the Warlock coupon, I still earn a similar amount as if someone had bought it for full price on Audible.   A direct sales platform also allows you to create discounts for sales far more easily than on other platforms. Additionally, you don't have to wait for ebooks or audiobooks to get through processing on a direct sales site like you do with ACX and the other sites, which makes when a book or audiobook is ready for sale far more predictable. You can also bundle things with ebooks like such as the book file in multiple formats or bonus items like maps, worksheets, or charts. On the other ebook sites, this isn't typically possible. Direct sales gives you a greater flexibility in terms of selling. You can include bonus items and it's also a good fallback position if one of the main sites isn't working. I first got into direct sales in 2021 because Barnes & Noble had its big ransomware hack then and for a while it was impossible to publish new things to the platform and I believe that was when Ghost in the Vault came out and since I couldn't publish that on Barnes & Noble until the ransomware problem was fixed, I directed people to the Payhip site instead.   #6: Library sales and Kindle Unlimited.   The popularity of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and the Project Hail Mary audiobook made a lot of people aware of the fact that exclusivity agreements with Amazon and Audible have often been structured to leave out options for library ebook platforms or require maneuvering or additional deals in order to make it possible. The popularity of Libby in particular is growing here in the United States, especially as people are having to shift their leisure spending from things like books and entertainment to covering basic necessities like housing, transportation, fuel, and food costs due to the poor state of the economy. If library sales and library readers are important to you, then going wide is your best option for reaching the library market.   Myself, I haven't particularly pursued the library market. I haven't refused it either. I usually, when the option is available, click on the toggle switch to publish it to a library service, but then don't think about it very much after that, but there are many indie authors who are very interested in getting in libraries and have pursued that quite a bit through these programs.   #7: Vendor lock-in/user preference.   There is a concept called vendor lock-in, meaning that ebook buyers have a particular platform that they default to when buying ebooks because that is where the ebook collection is based and they want to keep their books together instead of spread across several different apps. Many Barnes & Noble and Kobo users are not interested in ebooks from Amazon or KU for this reason and won't even follow a favorite author to another platform. It's important to have an option available for these readers.   #8: DRM free. [Digital Rights Management]   Having a DRM free copy of an ebook is extremely important to many readers and that is what makes an ebook purchase a true purchase instead of a highly conditional license. Sites like Kobo allow ebook buyers to limit their searches to only DRM free titles and many will not buy a book that is not available without DRM. My Payhip store, all the files you get from that when you buy an ebook or an audiobook are DRM free as well.   For myself, a large portion of my sales come from outside Amazon, so that's why I've never been fully exclusive with Kindle Unlimited and instead rotate a small selection of my series in and out of KU. Over the years, I've experimented with having various books in KU and starting in 2023, what I settled on doing was that I would write three series ongoing. Two of those series would be available on all ebook platforms and one of those series would be available in Kindle Unlimited, which allowed me to pursue both markets at once. As of right now, the wide series are Blades of Ruin and Cloak Mage and the Kindle Unlimited series is Half-Elven Thief. Once Half-Elven Thief is completed, I will take it out of Kindle Unlimited and take it wide and start a new series for Kindle Unlimited.   Overall, I found it's worthwhile to be wide even when pursuing Kindle Unlimited with some of my books because typically in an average month about 45 to 55% of my revenue comes from Amazon and the rest comes from all the other platforms put together. So while Amazon is typically half, that's not nothing, it's only half and the rest of the revenue comes from all these ebook platforms I've been cultivating over the years. So the conclusion is that the beauty of KU's current agreement is that you only have to commit to being exclusive for a short amount of time, specifically three months, and then can always return to it if you want to try going wide for a while.    It's also important to note that growth on other platforms may be slow and if you're going to try them out, it's important to be patient and have realistic expectations. It's the benefit of being an indie author that we can experiment and make decisions quickly based on data and reader preferences. Going wide may not be the best decision for everyone, but the results may surprise you, especially over time.   The cumulative effect of things is often easy to overlook, but it does add up over time. Part of the reason I think my books do so well with Kobo Plus is because they've been on the Kobo website for the last 14 years, which gives them time to accumulate reviews and additional word of mouth. So when someone is browsing Kobo Plus for something to read and they see this long book series with a bunch of good reviews, it becomes easy for them to try it through Kobo Plus.   So that is it for this week. This week we talked about going wide. Next week I don't have time to record a full-time episode, so we're going to do another audiobook sampler roundup, which will be fun. The week after that, in two weeks from today, we are going to talk about the benefits of going to Kindle Unlimited as a contrast to this episode and I will talk about some of my Kindle Unlimited experiences (both good and bad).

In this week's episode, I take a look at the movies and streaming shows I watched in Spring 2026, and rate them from least to most favorite. This coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Dragontiarna series at my Payhip store: DRAGONJUNE The coupon code is valid through June 15, 2026. So if you need a new ebook this summer, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 305 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is May 29th, 2026 and today we'll be discussing my Spring Movie Review Roundup for 2026, where I discuss the movies and streaming shows I watched over the last few months. We will also have Coupon of the Week and a progress update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Dragontiarna series at my Payhip store. That coupon code is DRAGONJUNE. And as always, you get the coupon code and the links in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code will be valid through June the 15th, 2026. So if you need a new ebook for this summer, we have got you covered. Now let's move on to my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. As I mentioned last week, Dragon-Mage is out and you can get it at Amazon and Kindle Unlimited and it's doing well, so thank you for that. My next main project is Blade of Thieves and as of this recording, I am on chapter 11 of 25, though that'll probably expand in the final draft, which puts me at 56,000 words in. So I'm almost halfway through. I think probably it's going to be the length of Blade of Wraiths or a little longer, but we'll see. I'm hoping to have it out towards the end of June, but depending on how June goes, that might slip till July. Hopefully we can avoid that. I'm also 5,000 words into Cloak of Frost and that will be my main project once Blade of Thieves is done. I'm hoping to have Cloak of Frost out towards the end of July, but depending on how June goes, it might slip to August. For audiobook projects, Blade of Wraiths is still processing at ACX, though I believe as of right now, you can get it at Google Play, Kobo, Spotify, and my own Payhip store. The other stores should be available within a few weeks. As of right now, I don't actually have any current audiobooks in production, though we have some scheduled for the future. Once Blade of Thieves is finally done, Brad Wills will record that for us. Hollis McCarthy is scheduled to record Cloak of Worlds in June, if all goes well. Leanne Woodward will be recording Dragon-Mage sometime in July, if all goes well. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. Hopefully we'll have new things for you to read and listen to before much longer. 00:02:32 Main Topic: Spring 2026 Movie Review Roundup Now without any further ado, let's move on to our main topic, my Spring 2026 Movie Review Roundup. It's time for the Spring 2026 Movie Review Roundup, where I review the movies and streaming shows I watched over the last few months. As always, they're listed from least favorite to most favorite. The grades are wholly subjective and based on nothing more than my own opinions and thoughts. With that disclaimer out of the way, let's go to the movies. First up is Kicking and Screaming, which came out in 2005. This is a family comedy with Will Ferrell and Robert Duvall. Pharrell plays Phil Weston, a mild mannered vitamin store owner and Duvall plays his father, Buck Weston, owner of a successful chain of sports equipment stores. Buck is one of those hyper competitive guys who has to win at everything and Phil has always rolled with it. But when Phil's son is a benchwarmer on the youth soccer team that Buck coaches, Phil's had enough and starts coaching a rival team to get his son into the game and to defeat his father. Along the way, of course, he descends into Will Ferrell style comedic lunacy, but the PG version since this is a PG movie. Mike Ditka was also hilarious as Phil's sidekick and assistant coach. It seemed like an '80s family movie. It was a sort of movie where you could have taken the entire family to the theater in 2005 and everyone would have been at least moderately entertained. Overall Grade: C Next up is the animated Lord of the Rings, which came out in 1978. As I mentioned, this was the animated version of Lord of the Rings from 1978. Extremely ambitious, but I think it's fair to say this landed in ambitious failure territory, but they tried the best they could given the constraints of the technology at the time and the actual available budget. They tried to pack the entirety of the Fellowship of the Ring and the first half of The Two Towers into about two hours and 20 minutes. I'm sorry to say it just didn't work. Like Dune, the Lord of the Rings is one of those books that requires like 10 hours of very expensive filmmaking to pull off properly. That said, I think it is fair to say that this stumbled so that the Peter Jackson live action trilogy could run. Adapting a book (especially a big book) into a movie is a challenge and I don't think this quite got there. Too much was cut out and if you hadn't read the book, you would probably have no idea what was happening or just been confused the entire time. Additionally, the movie relied heavily on rotoscoping and it didn't always quite work. Like the rotoscope Nazgul looked creepy and unsettling, so that worked for them. However, the rotoscoped orcs just looked bad. You know how in live theater stagehands will dress all in black? The orcs kind of looked like that, albeit they're wearing yellow ponchos over their black stagehand outfits, almost like the stagehands were expecting inclement weather backstage. That said, the vocal performances and the music were very good. So an ambitious and admirable failure. As I said, I think the filmmaker's vision exceeded the grasp of their budget and the available technology of the 1970s. Overall Grade: C Next up is Airplane!, which came out in 1980. It was interesting to watch this as a cultural artifact. It had the leisurely pace of an '80s movie, with far more absurdist humor. It was a parody of various airplane disaster movies from the 1970s. It's also interesting that this is remembered as a Leslie Nielsen movie nowadays, though Leslie Nielsen 's character is only a supporting character. For all that he's known for his absurdist humor these days from later movies, Nielsen plays his character stone cold dead straight, which makes him all the funnier, amazingly enough. Some of the jokes in this movie have aged very badly, but it's still worth watching as an interesting and amusing cultural artifact, given how it influenced the entire genre of comedy movies afterwards. There's also the obligatory three seconds of nudity that can get cut on cable TV broadcast. Overall Grade: B- Next up is the Thomas Crown Affair, which came out in 1999. This is an interesting remake of a movie from the 1960s. Pierce Brosnan plays Thomas Crown, a billionaire who has grown bored with his life, so he orchestrates the theft of a priceless Monet painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The heist goes off flawlessly and the museum's insurance company sends out investigator Catherine Banning (played by Renee Russo) to retrieve the painting and avoid a hundred million dollar insurance payout. Banning immediately intuits that Crown is the thief and sets about to find the painting. This investigation is complicated by the fact that Crown and Banning immediately develop a strong attraction and start an affair. It was interesting to watch since neither Crown nor Banning are particularly sympathetic characters. In 2026, the phrase "bored New York billionaire" has much more sinister connotations than it did in 1999 and Banning breaks all kinds of laws and sleeping with her target is not a particularly bright idea. That said, the opening heist was interesting and Crown's final gambit to return the painting was extremely clever and enjoyable to watch. So overall, I like the movie, but there's still way too much nudity. Cable broadcasts are probably like 10 minutes shorter than the actual runtime from cutting it all out. Overall Grade: B- Next up is Whiskey Galore, which came out in 2017 and this is a remake of the original Whiskey Galore from 1949. Honestly, this is exactly the same movie from 1949 that I watched in the Movie Review Roundup for Summer 2025, just updated with modern filmmaking techniques. If the movie makers in the '40s could have done it this way, they would have. Though I would recommend watching the 1949 one first and then the one from 2017. Overall Grade: B Next up is Super Mario Galaxy, which came out in 2026. And I have to admit, it felt a little strange to be the oldest person at the theater watching Super Mario Galaxy, but I've been playing Mario games since before any of these kids were born, so I think I had a right to be there. Anyway, I would say this movie is about 75% as good as the first one. It was a little overpacked and the plot wasn't quite as tight, but it's still fun to watch. The animation was excellent and I enjoyed all the callbacks to the various Mario games and since I haven't actually played all the Mario games (as a reminder, I played no console games of any kind between 1998 and 2019), I'm sure there were quite a few I missed. The plot is that Bowser Jr is coming to rescue his father, Bowser, who's been held captive since the end of the last movie. To power his doomsday weapon, Junior kidnaps Princess Rosalina and Princess Peach goes to rescue her while Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi stay to protect the Mushroom Kingdom. Their separate subplots will end up crossing when Bowser Jr. invades the Mushroom Kingdom to get Bowser. Glen Powell was an excellent choice to voice Fox McCloud. I'd say if you could imagine a movie that the audience would enjoy and the critics would hate, you'd end up with Super Mario Galaxy. Since that appears to be what happened to the tune of $970 million, it appears that metaphor was accurate. Also, to be less glib, "movies you can take your kids to" do serve a valuable social function (in my opinion). Overall Grade: B Next up is the Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins, which came out in 2026. This was a comedy with a fun premise. Reggie Dinkins (played by Tracy Morgan) was an elite NFL player who got bounced out of the league for placing bets on himself. Years later, he teams up with an indie filmmaker named Arthur Tobin (played by Daniel Radcliffe), to make a documentary to rehabilitate his image. However, Tobin has his own issues. He has an Oscar, but after the Oscar, he got hired to direct a Marvel movie and cracked under the pressure. He and Reggie have to go on a journey to recover their reputations. I thought this was a pretty funny sitcom. Tracy Morgan is a comedic natural, but Daniel Radcliffe turned out to be an excellent comedic actor as well. He was great in that Weird Al biopic a few years ago and he's very funny in this. Craig Robinson was also great as Jerry Basmati, Reggie's sleazy nemesis. Overall Grade: B+ Next up is The Mandalorian and Grogu, which came out in 2026. I enjoyed this. It was like three pretty good episodes of The Mandalorian show put together. The end result was an adventure movie that kind of reminded me of the best of 1980s fantasy and sci-fi movies with a lot of creature work and a lot of action scenes. For an extended stretch of the movie, Grogu takes over as the primary protagonist, and given that Grogu is a very expensive puppet, that's an impressive feat. The plot picks up from the end of The Mandalorian show. The Mandalorian and his adopted son Grogu are now working for the New Republic, helping to hunt down Imperial warlords. Mando gets assigned to hunt down in a mysterious Imperial warlord named Commander Coin, but the only people who have information on Coin's location are the Twins, a pair of Hutt crime lords and relatives of Jabba the Hutt from Return of the Jedi. The Twins are willing to give up Coin's location if Mando does a job for them, but as Han Solo could have warned Mando, working for the Hutts is not a good idea. I was surprised that the reviews for this movie were as mixed as they were, but I suspect that's a combination of three social factors: Number one, cumulative ill will towards Disney as a corporation, which has done numerous sketchy things in the 2020s. I think something similar happened with Microsoft and Starfield. Number two, the lingering bad aftertaste of the sequel trilogy and number three, the tendency of the hardcore Star Wars fandom to chronically overthink things. Overall Grade: B+ Next up is the animated Hobbit, which came out in 1977. Peter Jackson's Hobbit Trilogy from the 2010 famously stretched The Hobbit across three movies, which really didn't work and added a bunch of epic battle scenes, which was totally off for what was essentially a children's book. The animated 1977 version of The Hobbit, by contrast, went in a different direction, neatly adapting it down to 70 minutes or so, presumably because animation is very expensive. At the time, this got mixed reviews, but looking back nearly 50 years later, I think we can appreciate it more because of the sheer amount of work that goes into hand-drawn animation. Like computer-based animation is unquestionably a lot of work as well, but hand-drawn animation is on something of a higher level in terms of difficulty, in my opinion. That said, I think this adaptation did a better job of compressing the story down than the animated Lord of the Rings movie I mentioned earlier in this episode. There's also a lot of 1970s style folk singing-like a LOT. I suspect J.R.R. Tolkien would have hated every single adaptation ever made of any of his works (with perhaps the exception of the audiobooks), but he would have approved of the number of songs and poetry in this. Though it was amusing that the high elves in this movie sing in a '70s folk music style. It would be humorous if in the Silmarillion, Earnedil the Mariner had finally crossed the Sundering Seas to reach Valinor and appeal the aid of the Valar against Morgoth and his hordes, only to hear '70 style folk music echoing across the shining hills of the Undying Lands. Anyway, it's definitely worth watching this if you like The Hobbit or old style animation. Overall Grade: A- Next up is House of David Season 2, which came out in 2026. I wrestled with what grade to give this because it used a lot of AI for the big battle scene in episode one and as long time readers and listeners know, I do not generally approve of LLM generated slop. Ironically, I think episode one, the big battle sequence with all the AI, was definitely the weakest point of the entire second season. Everything else was better. That said, all the character drama and interactions and acting were really good, which amusingly shows that while LLM stuff can generate blurry scenes of mounted soldiers charging at night, the real human emotion comes from, well, real human emotion. Anyway, this picks right up from the end of Season 1, right after David kills Goliath, which means it takes place during most of the events with the third quarter of the book of 1 Samuel from the Bible. David becomes one of the chief commanders of King Saul, but David is secretly the anointed king of Israel. Saul's deteriorating mental state becomes threatening to David while Saul's children scheme for position (with the exception of Jonathan, who has accepted that God has chosen David as the next king of Israel) and the Philistines prepare for war against Israel. It is interesting how the show alternates between leaning into the Grimdark aspects of life in the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age and avoiding them. Like, constant warfare was a fact of life for a Mesopotamian king around 1000 BC. But the show also shows David as having passionate romantic love for Saul's daughter Michal and in the Bible, David ended up with at least eight wives that we know about (there were likely others) and an unnamed number of concubines. So late Bronze Age/early Iron Age monarchs were not likely to have been in the grips of fervent romantic love. Though based on the Psalms he wrote, David seems to have been a man who definitely was in touch with his emotions and quite possibly he would have passionately loved multiple women at the same time. Anyway, I enjoyed the show. While I am not an expert, I probably have a higher than average level of Old Testament knowledge. So when the show expanded on something from 1 Samuel (such as the role of Doeg, the murderous Edomite shepherd), I could see where they were coming from. Or the subplot where Jonathan falls in love with an Israelite woman since in the Bible, David took care of Jonathan's son, Mephibosheth, logically, Jonathan had a wife at some point. Related to that as Saul continues his descent, in a moment of rage in 1 Samuel, he calls Jonathan "the son of a perverse and rebellious woman" and the show has a subplot explaining how Saul came to see Queen Ahinoam as a "perverse and rebellious woman". So I enjoyed this and will definitely watch Season 3 when it comes along. That said, the opening battle with the AI generated battle scenes is still definitely the weakest part of the series, though. Overall Grade: A- Next up is Maul: Shadow Lord, which came out in 2026. And in my opinion, this was pretty good. I think he could call the plot Sith Noir. Maul, desiring vengeance against the Emperor for all the pain he has endured, has decided to rebuild his criminal syndicate (previously destroyed in the Clone Wars) and use it to bring down the Empire. Meanwhile, Captain Lawson, a detective on a minor world, is trying to rebuild his relationship with his teenage son and keep his career afloat. This becomes tricky when a pair of fugitive Jedi fleeing from the Inquisitors turn up on their world. But in the younger of the two Jedi, Maul sees a potential apprentice for himself, one he could corrupt to the dark side. The animation has improved by quantum leaps and bounds since the days of the Clone War show. The lighting and the shadows are excellent. Maul looks spooky and a little uncanny. The lightsaber fights are quick and fluid. No spoilers, but the final episode is absolutely excellent. I also think one of the best things about the Star Wars animation shows is how Maul's character has evolved from simply the cool swordsmen at the end of The Phantom Menace to a sympathetic yet still evil warrior-philosopher, a tragic figure whose every effort always contains the seeds of its own downfall. Overall Grade: A Next up is Emma, which came out in 2020. This is an excellent adaptation of the Jane Austen's novel. Good performances, good cinematography, and it captures the essence of the novel quite well and it's probably a must for Austen fans to see. I don't really have anything negative to say about it, say that it has the three seconds of unnecessary nudity that can be cut in cable broadcasts. Ironically, and quite amusingly, that three seconds of nudity is quite literally the only thing this movie has in common with Airplane!. Overall Grade: A Next up is No Packers, No Life, which came out in 2025. This was a fun documentary about a group of Japanese Green Bay Packers fans. Obviously, there are fairly large cultural and linguistic divides between the United States and Japan, so American football is not hugely popular in Japan. However, the Green Bay Packers are the only community owned team in the NFL to this day and so they're quite a bit more sympathetic than one that's owned by a faceless billionaire. Anyway, an American businessman goes to Japan and stumbles across a Japanese man wearing a Packers jersey at a bar. From there, he learns of a small club called the Japanese Packers Cheering Team that gathered to watch Packers games. This businessman in question happened to be from Wisconsin, so he befriended the Japanese Packers Cheering Team and invited them to Green Bay for a game. The invitation snowballed and so the entire club and their families arrived to watch the game. Sports fandom really isn't one of my interests, so it's always interesting to look at it from the outside. That said, this was an enjoyable documentary about cross-cultural communication at its best. Overall Grade: A Let's close out this episode with my favorite thing I saw in spring 2026, which was Project Hail Mary, which came out in 2026. This is another "science man solves space problem that saves the day with math and science", type science fiction adventure like The Martian, though some new twists on the formula. Dr. Ryland Grace wakes up alone on a spaceship with all the other crew dead and no memory of how he got there. Gradually, he partially remembers and works out that he is part of Project Hail Mary, a last ditch effort to stop Earth's sun from dimming due to an extremophile organism called the Astrophage. Only one other star in Earth's stellar neighborhood was showing no signs of Astrophage infection, so Grace's ship was sent there on a suicide mission to try and recover some means of defeating the Astrophage. While there, he encounters an alien ship with a sole survivor and he slowly works out how to communicate with the alien, who he dubs Rocky. It turns out Rocky's people sent him there on a mission to solve the Astrophage problem as well and together Grace and Rocky try to work out how to save their respective home worlds. Quite enjoyable and worth seeing. At the time I typed this in March of 2026, it was the highest-grossing movie of 2026 and I think it deserved that, though it did eventually get overtaken by Super Mario Galaxy. Overall Grade: A I suppose that was an eclectic range of movies, wasn't it? Interestingly, I actually saw three of them in theaters: Project Hail Mary, Super Mario Galaxy, and The Mandalorian and Grogu, so I went to the theater three times in three months. I think that's the most I've been to the movie theater in a single year in the entirety of the 2020s. So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show.

What does a lifelong atheist do when his dead father appears above him in the emergency room? Author and war reporter Sebastian Junger nearly bled to death in 2020 from a ruptured aneurysm, and what he saw in those moments sent him on a journey into physics, near-death experiences, and the nature of consciousness itself. In his third appearance on EconTalk, Junger discusses his remarkable book In My Time of Dying with host Russ Roberts. He reflects on covering wars from Sarajevo to Afghanistan, the strange phenomenon of dying people seeing the dead, and why he's still an atheist. Along the way, Junger offers a powerful meditation on terror and reverence, blessing and wounding, and why understanding life's fragility might be the most sacred gift of all.

Souls wander the Shadowlands battling their former lives and often the orders of their factions. As our wraiths come to find out, sometimes these two passions pull them in disparate directions.

This episode of the The Rizzuto Show is basically what happens when a seriously talented musician walks into a room full of people who cannot stay on topic… and somehow it works perfectly.We're joined by St. Louis native Lizzie Weber, fresh off the release of her new album Wraiths in the Wake, and things get deep fast. We're talking ghosts—not the “boo!” kind, but the emotional baggage kind. The stuff that follows you around while you're trying to grow up, move forward, and not completely spiral. You know… relatable.This comedy podcast somehow manages to balance real artistic insight with complete nonsense, including a heated (and very unnecessary) debate about Radiohead fans that absolutely no one asked for—but you're getting anyway. Lizzy shares the story of the concert that changed her life, the creative process behind building a full narrative album, and what it actually takes to survive as an independent artist when budgets are tight and expectations are high.And when we say DIY, we mean DIY. Filming your own music videos, editing them yourself, and yes—occasionally trespassing on farmland for the perfect shot. That's called commitment. Or a future court date. We'll see.Of course, because it's a comedy podcast, things spiral into:Tool fandom getting aggressively passionateBrett Michaels catching stray complimentsConcert experiences that borderline changed people's personalitiesAnd a live in-studio performance that shuts everyone up (rare moment, honestly)By the end of the episode, we've learned that great music comes from chaos, ghosts are apparently metaphorical (disappointing), and the best advice in the industry might still be: just go play shows.If you like your comedy podcast with a side of real talk, live music, and occasional emotional damage, this one's for you.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We welcomed St. Louis native and insanely talented Lizzie Weber into the studio, and for a brief, shining moment, things felt like a real, professional music interview… and then we immediately derailed it with debates about Radiohead fans and whether anyone should ever call an album “the most important record of your lifetime” without being legally required to explain themselves.Lizzie's new album Wraiths in the Wake is a deeply personal and atmospheric project centered around the idea of “wraiths”—ghosts, spirits, and the emotional baggage that follows you through life. It's thoughtful, cinematic, and layered… which is exactly why we tried our best not to ruin the conversation. (Keyword: tried.)She talks about working with major collaborators, navigating the music industry as an independent artist, and why pressing vinyl in today's world feels like trying to barter with ancient currency during a nickel shortage. We also get into her musical journey—from dropping out of college and chasing acting in LA, to finding her voice and building her sound from the ground up.Then things take a turn—because of course they do—when Lizzie shares her “musical awakening” moment seeing Radiohead live. This leads to one of the most aggressively unnecessary debates in recent memory, where Riz explains his complicated relationship with Radiohead… specifically their fans. It's the kind of argument that only happens on a funny podcast like this, where passion meets confusion and nobody actually wins.We also go around the room sharing the last concerts that truly “locked us in,” from Nine Inch Nails precision to Tool (yes, again) to Brett Michaels somehow causing a spiritual experience with a harmonica. It's chaotic, it's honest, and it's exactly what you'd expect from a funny podcast that occasionally stumbles into meaningful conversations between jokes.If you're into music, creative journeys, or just listening to a group of adults spiral into debates about bands they both love and resent—this episode of our funny podcast has you covered.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Woman, 38, Plummets 50 Feet to Her Death at Indianapolis International AirportTourist dies from 'cobra bite' in Egypt after snake charmer let it crawl into his trousersDisney Named in Lawsuit Alleging Bedbug Exposure at Resort HotelNew York woman convicted for throwing dynamite at boyfriend, blowing off his handSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As newly deceased, our Wraiths learn that not only does work persist after death, but so do love and hate.

Whilst cycling to work in the early hours of the morning, a young man found himself confronted by a chilling apparition near the dark waters of Trench Pool. What began as a single terrifying encounter soon escalated into something far more disturbing, as the figure continued to stalk him for weeks afterwards; a haunting presence he would come to know as The Wraith of Trench Pool.
