HP Lovecraft: His Work, His Legacy, and Our Relationship with His Work (ft. Jason Fuhrman) SomeOkieDude 2024-10-16 | Ah, HP Lovecraft. He's become a bit of a contentious figure in the world of speculative fiction. There were several ways I thought about doing this video, but I decided to get a fan of Lovecraft's, my friend and often partner in crime Jason Fuhrman. We discuss Lovecraft's work, why it's made such an impact, what attracts people to his particular style, and why I personally don't take to Lovecraft's style as fervently as some others do. This was a fun chat, and I'm always happy to talk with Jason, even when we disagree (and that's quite often.) What do you think of Lovecraft? Do you fall into Jason's camp or mine?

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 subjects while we were on, such as how AP is actually Dr. Fantasy and his nemesis Philip Chase is stealing his thunder, our mutual dislike of Zack Snyder's films, his thoughts on prose and what makes good prose, his thoughts on if there's an objective standard for art, some of the differences that iconic stories have from their iconic depictions, our issues with modern critics, AP's gripes with people who criticize Malazan, his work as an editor and some of the fantasy authors he's hung out with and met, and so much more! Thanks AP for coming on my channel and being so giving with your time, it was an honor! Next week's guest will be RH Snow!
