The Banality of Evil in Tender is The Flesh: A Brief Discussion SomeOkieDude 2023-11-02 | Today I am back with a different type of review. I cover Agustina Bazterrica's controversial dystopian horror/satire Tender is The Flesh. I discuss some of the concepts and themes that Bazterrica is playing with in this novel, including why normal people go along with things that are horrible and what allows evil to thrive in otherwise normal societies. I could be self-deprecating and witty, but I would rather you all watch the video. What do you all think? Should I do more of these?

He's become a bit of a contentious figure in the world of speculative fiction.

When Artists We Love Disappoint Us: A Discussion SomeOkieDude 2024-08-30 | I hate to sound dramatic, but this was a hard video to make. It was a video that I had thought about making for a long time, but I didn't really know how. But then the Gaiman fiasco started, and I couldn't hold it in anymore. This isn't really a video telling people what to do when these types of things happen, nor is it me parading around talking about what a good guy I am. This is me opening up about some things that have been haunting me for a while. If you have any comments discussing your own thoughts and feelings, feel free to share.

We talked about a great many subject such as why the DC animated universe is the best superhero adaptation ever, why she decided to write her series Watcher of The Damned, why she writes in general and what she likes writing about, what the Iron Age is and why it's become a phenomenon, which authors inspire her, being married to a pastor (who's also the fire chief of her town), what constitutes great literature and poetry in our eyes, and so much more! Thank you so much Rebecca for coming on! I'd love to have you on again at some point! Next week's guest will be Clayton W. Snyder!

1984 (Book Review) + Rant about its impact SomeOkieDude 2024-07-12 | Today I am covering one of the most famous dystopian novels ever written: 1984 by George Orwell. As I say in the review, I'm not sure if I can justify its greatness in a single review but I will do my very best to try. I also get a little contentious as I talk about its legacy and my frustration with people who attempt to use it for their own ends. I hope you all enjoy it! Have you read 1984?

What I Read in June (+ movies and shows) SomeOkieDude 2024-07-10 | We're back ladies and gentlemen, another month has passed and I am here today to talk about all the books I read, and the movies and shows I watched, during the month of June. I can't believe we're in July already but here we are. Time does fly when you're having fun. Despite the fact my time was being eaten up by a class this month, I somehow managed to complete some books while I was at it. So here they are! What did you read this last June?
