Belated Binge: Discovering Urban Fantasy

I’m Zac — a former radio host and lifelong sports fan discovering the magic of urban fantasy. On Belated Binge, I dive into the stories I nearly missed out on — from Harry Potter to The Dresden Files, Alex Verus, Kate Daniels, and beyond. Expect humor, deep-dive discussions, and crossover chaos as we explore theories, character arcs, and “What if?” scenarios across your favorite worlds. Whether it’s reimagining Sons of Anarchy as an urban fantasy or breaking down wizard duels, I don’t take myself (or the books) too seriously. It’s never too late to binge something magical!

SPOILER WARNING for The Dresden Files. In this episode I’m exploring Murphy’s character journey a bit, particularly as it relates to how much of an impact Harry had on it. Not just as eventual romantic partners, but how her character changed when they weren’t each other’s ride or die.

SPOILER WARNING for The Dresden Files.

At the end of Battle Ground, Queen Mab rocked all of our brains by imposing an arranged marriage between Harry Dresden and Lara Raith.

Once I got past the shock, I started to think they could actually make a good pairing. That is… if there wasn’t the whole White Court Vampire feeding aspect of it all.

But could there be a way for it to work without long term danger for Harry?

I came up with so...

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!

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...

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 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.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
