Ugh, I wanted to like the new Captain Marvel comics after Marvel did Warzones and basically blew everything into oblivion. But, Michele Fazekas is no Kelly Sue DeConnick. It also borrowed half of the story-line from one of the old Ms. Marvel stories. I'm not sure I'll want to continue reading on...

Booze and legends
Listen to myths and legends presented and analyzed by two amazing hosts, with a smattering of feminist and queer theory applied to everything from Tarot to selkies. I can't recommend it enough. Plus, urban legends from listeners, native sources for native stories, and drink recommendations! Spirits is absolutely amazing.

The Truth Shall Set You Free
have heard great things about Mr Patterson.

"Brilliant Writer"

"You've not lived till you've read his work"

"He is an absolute genius, how he comes up with these stories is beyond me"

and so on and so forth.

So naturally, I was curious, but not impressed.

Such a charming, brilliantly acted film. I loved all the different characters and how they progress through the film as you start to discover their back stories. Just the right amount of humour, love and sadness. The acting was perfect with no one trying to outdo or scene steal from the others.

Not your average horror story
This is an amazing horror story following a group of 11 year old boys in the 60’s, it’s filled with adventure, comraderie, and terror. One of the best horror stories I’ve read in a long time!

These girls always have a good laugh and bring the stories they have to life, I'm totally in love with their goofy informal podcast that sometimes can verge on the silly. It's a good laugh and they always bring a smile to my face. Long time fan and definitely suggest ??

Think they should have made it sooner
Contains spoilers, click to show
Do think they should have brought this film out sooner in the Marvel journey because it does explain a lot of the back stories, although the beginning is very confusing but do stick with it as the plot lines are finally unravelled. The cat Is wonderful.
