VNA #13 - "Deceit" by Peter Darvill-Evans - Doctor Who Book Guide - CtW

The guy in charge of the Virgin New Adventures writes a book of his own! We re-introduced to an old friend, get the Doctor's character back on track, and there's even a guest star from the Doctor Who comics! No, it's not Frobisher, sadly.

Fathom Events is LYING about Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro

Well, that's probably the most click-baity title I've ever done. But for real, Fathom Events is doing a weird bit of false advertising for their broadcast of Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, and I thought I should call them out on it.This video took like a half hour to make and I didn't preview it for early access, so you shan't be charged for it. :)

Say Cheese and Die! - The Goosebumps Monthly

Four kids discover a camera that causes bad things to happen. And they keep taking pictures. And they just keeeeeep taking pictures. Looking, at some point, this is just their own damn fault.

Everworld Book Guide - #5 Discover the Destroyer

Our protagonists are tasked with sneaking into Fairy Land and stealing four mystical treasures. Sure, we could Sly Cooper this crap, but what if we just kicked off the dot com bubble instead? Finally, a little levity!

By The Way - Nick Knacks Episode #004

There isn't a whole lot to say about this show, so instead we spend most of the time talking about Nickelodeon's weird pre-World War I aesthetic. Also, more mimes!

Nickel Flicks - Nick Knacks Episode #003

We kick off the Nickelodeon 1979 starting lineup with a tribute to film serials. Flash Gordon, Rin Tin Tinn and Gene Autry entertain, and a host whom kids of the 80s might recognize walking us through it.

Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog - Selling the Legend

In 1998, Saban tried their hands at a Power Ranger-type show without needing to use Japanese Super Sentai footage as a crutch. Instead, they drew from Irish mythology to make a goofy fantasy epic. Did it work?

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks - The Fantasy of Progress

We take a look at one of the lesser-talked about Legend of Zelda titles, and what it stands for in this weird, wonderful series.

Pinwheel - Nick Knacks Episode #002

This is where it all started. Pinwheel, QUBE's popular puppet show that became Nickelodeon first flagship program. Join Jake, Ebeneezer T. Squint, Plus and Minus and the rest of the gang as they sing some songs, sing some songs, sing some more songs... for a while there it was just songs.

QUBE - Nick Knacks Episode #001

To know the history of Nickelodeon, we must first know the history of cable television, and of QUBE, Warner Communication's massive experiment in interactive television.

Nick Knacks: A Show By Show Retrospective of Nickelodeon - Introduction

We start an epic 40-year journey into the history of Nickelodeon, the first cable channel for kids! How has it changed over the years? What exactly was its golden age? And is it really as bad today as some people seem to think?(since this is a pretty small video, I won't be charging)

Early Access: Nick Knacks: A Show By Show Retrospective of Nickelodeon - Introduction

Early Access for my Early Access peeps. That said, considering how short and ultimately insubstantial this video is, I don't intend to charge you guys for it. :)

Breaking Spines #19 - "Edgar Cayce on Atlantis" by Edgar Evans Cayce

Edgar Cayce, the Sleeping Prophet, would tap into your past lives to tell you what was at the core of your soul. A lot of these life readings involved the lost civilization of Atlantis. Twenty years after their father's death, Cayce's two sons have put together a comprehensive timeline of Plato's mystic island nation. Yes, it's pretty silly.

VNA #12 - "The Pit" by Neil Penswick - Doctor Who Book Guide - CtW

The Doctor and Bernice Summerfield investigate the disappearance of the Seven Planets and discover crappy androids, shape shifting drug traffickers, a dark cult, and William Blake for some reason. This book wants you to think it's smarter then it actually is.
