Belated Binge: Discovering Urban Fantasy

I’m Zac, ex-radio host and life-long sports fan discovering both my inner nerd and magical worlds I didn’t know existed. Join me on this journey discussing the iconic (mostly) urban fantasy series I nearly missed out on, like Harry Potter and the ‘why was I a grown @$$ man before I read these books?,’ The ‘there’s another wizard named Harry?’ Dresden Files and more! Character motivations, plot holes, theories, chapter/book discussions, crossovers, new discoveries, asking stupid questions and generally pretending that we’re friends are all fair game in this light-hearted exploration of these magical books you love!

Rumor has it that Jim Butcher is in serious discussions for a new attempt at a TV adaptation of The Dresden Files. The current expectation is that it will follow the war with the Red Court Vampires plot line.

Today I’m sharing how I think they could make a 5th season by expanding on that idea! This hypothetical season follows the plot line surrounding how Harry became the Winter Knight!

We continue our reread of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with Chapter 12: The Patronus.

A lot of time passing through updates about whether or not Harry is getting his Firebolt back in time for Quidditch and many reminders that QUIDDITCH IS LIFE!

More importantly, if anything could be more important than quidditch, Harry and Ron are still mad at Hermione and Harry has started private lessons with Lupin to teach him how to...

Season 1 Episode 7: A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal

I was super excited to jump back into Harry Potter on the podcast! I know it's been a little while but we left off 10 chapters into The Prisoner of Azkaban - so, today we're picking up with chapter 11: The Firebolt!

This one is not the most eventful chapter to welcome us back to the series, but there is a TON of foreshadowing throughout, delivered during conversations that Harry, Ron and Hermione have with Hagrid, their Christmas p...

Season 2 Episode 5: Smite

This episode of Sons of Anarchy is called “Smite” and it follows Clay vs. Zobelle and illustrates just how in over his head Clay is in the chess match. Zobelle has Otto jumped in prison (he loses an eye), he turns in evidence on the club blowing up Darby's meth lab in Charming, he blackmails Hale, sets up a street fight, and also blows up a van at TM, leaving us wondering if Chibs is still alive. All the w...

Season 2 Episode 2: Small Tears

This is the fallout episode. The fallout from what happened to Gemma. The fallout from Jax's decision to cover up Opie's tracks with the Mayans. Compounding fallout from Donna's death.

The small tears within and around SAMCRO are growing, and yet one character shines through: Tara.

Season 2 Episode 2: Small Tears

Tara Knowles from Sons of Anarchy seems to be a fairly polarizing character in the SOA fandom. She’s also pretty polarizing AS a character.

For the majority of season 1 and the start of season 2, she spends a lot of time questioning whether she has what it takes to be with Jax and be apart of the SAMCRO lifestyle.

In the second episode, Small Tears, I believe she proves that not only was she capable ...

Jax Teller from Sons of Anarchy is one of the most compelling characters in television history.

Over the course of the full seven seasons, he would grow into a fantastic anti-hero with depth and complexity. I believe I’ve discovered the episode where his character truly began to develop:

Season 2 Episode 1: Albification

In many ways, Jax Teller is born in the first episode of season 2 of Sons of Anarchy.

The thing you remember from this episode is obviously what happens to Gemma at the end. And it might overshadow how much foreshadowing of Jax’s character we get in this episode. How he makes decisions for those around him, the type of leader he’ll become and of course his friction with Clay. This is an early look a...
