Here's a new interview with the authors of The Expanse, Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck! We discuss The Expanse Season 6, Leviathan Falls, writing, sci fi, and more. It starts slow, but there's some great stuff in there. There are timecodes in the video description marking the topics and spoilers throughout, if you want to skip around.

Now we're done with The Expanse, and are finishing the Dune video. It'll probably split into two videos -- one about Dune lore and worldbuilding, the other about the new Dune movie compared to the book. The Blu-ray of the new Dune movie has come out, and its bonus features provide some cool visuals to help illustrate the video. I'm also working through the later Dune books, to get more context for the series overall. Really want to do justice to this vast and unique story.

After Dune, we'll do an ASOIAF character video, similar to the Tyrion one.

Raised by Wolves Season 2 starts on Feb 3rd, and if it's good we might do some livestreams / podcast episodes to discuss it.

And later we'll get into Fire & Blood and House of the Dragon -- hopefully HBO will drop a release date and a proper trailer sometime soon!

Thanks for your support!
