Not so long ago, my friends recommended a movie that had been sitting on my Netflix homepage forever: Carry On . At the time, I scrolled past it, thinking, Eh, maybe later. But when they described it as a non-stop, old-school action thriller , I knew I had to give it a shot. And wow—this movie is peak action movie nonsense in the best way possible. It’s got it all: an everyday guy caught in a criminal plot, high-stakes airport security drama, and ridiculous moments that make you yell, “That would NEVER happen!” But somehow, you don’t care, because it’s just so much fun. The story? A security officer at LAX (who’s lost his confidence after failing the police academy) gets blackmailed into helping a criminal get past security. Cue high-tension moments, moral dilemmas, and a very Die Hard 2 vibe. Sure, the plot is full of holes—you mean to tell me a rookie TSA agent is left completely unsupervised at one of the busiest airports in the world? But hey, realism isn’t why we watch these movies. If you love Die Hard , Air Force One , or any action movie where the hero gets way too deep into trouble, give Carry On a try. It’s not perfect, but it’s a blast. Have you seen it? Let me know what you think!…

When Disney took over Star Wars , they wiped out the entire Expanded Universe, leaving fans heartbroken. Years of novels, comics, and games—gone, or rather, rebranded as Legends . While some elements have slowly crept back into canon (hello, Thrawn!), one major character remains absent: Mara Jade . Now, a new rumor suggests that Disney is considering a Mara Jade TV series. Is it true? No idea. But it makes sense. Mara’s story is classic Star Wars —a villain turned hero, redemption, a personal connection to Luke Skywalker (even if Disney avoids that part). Plus, imagine a deep dive into the Empire from her perspective—think The Penguin meets Star Wars . But here’s the catch: Dave Filoni has hinted that Star Wars needs fresh stories, not just rehashes of the past. Could a Mara Jade show fit that vision? Or is this just another fan-fueled rumor? Either way, I’d love to see it happen. What do you think? Would a Mara Jade show work in today’s Star Wars universe?…

It’s Fantasy Friday, and I’ve got two things for you: an inspiring interview with fantasy author and illustrator Robin Rozendal and an update on my own fantasy novel. Meet Robin Rozendal: I met Robin at the Fantasy Festival in Arcen, and her creativity blew me away. Here’s why: Massive, Original World: Her fantasy books explore living cities—yes, cities with thoughts, emotions, and even mental health struggles. It’s a concept I’ve never seen before, and it’s brilliant. Multi-Talented Creator: She’s not just an author; she illustrates her own books and runs two YouTube channels (in Dutch) about writing and videography . Her writing journey even inspired me to start my own Booktube channel. Her world-building is next-level, blending human characters with sentient cities that communicate through emotions and memories. If that doesn’t intrigue you, I don’t know what will. My Novel Update: Inspired by creators like Robin, I finally gave myself permission to write. I’m in month two of my novel-writing journey: January: Focused on plotting, world-building, and character sketches. February: Drafting phase with a goal of 3,000 words a day. Surprisingly, I often exceed that, hitting 5,000 words or more. The story has evolved beyond my original outline, and that’s part of the magic. Writing isn’t just about getting words on paper; it’s about discovering the story as you go. If you’ve ever wanted to write, consider this your sign: start today. You might just find a new passion.

If you’ve been holding your breath for Severance Season 2, exhale—it’s here, and it’s absolutely worth the wait. I’m Father Roderick, a priest and a geek, and today I’m diving into why this mind-bending series is still one of the best shows on television. When I first talked about Severance , I raved about its originality, mystery, and sheer brilliance. But with the bar set so high, could Season 2 deliver? Spoiler-free verdict: YES. What Makes Season 2 Stand Out: Visual Storytelling: The cinematography is stunning—abstract, art-house vibes that feel both beautiful and unsettling. Expanding the World: We finally see more of the outside world, blurring the lines between “innies” and “outies.” Double Character Arcs: Each actor juggles two personas, creating layered, complex storytelling. Mind-Blowing Episodes: Episode 4, in particular, feels like a standalone film with twists I never saw coming. The Severance official podcast is also a must-listen. Featuring creators and cast members like Ben Stiller, it offers behind-the-scenes insights without spoiling future episodes. If you haven’t started Severance yet, begin with Season 1. Trust me, it’s not just a show—it’s an experience.…

You’ve probably heard the talk: "Superhero fatigue is real." With some recent Marvel and DC projects underperforming, it's easy to see why. But hold on—there’s a fresh wave of superhero content that might just change the game. Take the upcoming Fantastic Four movie. The trailer has a retro vibe that's refreshingly different from the usual MCU fare. It feels like a breath of fresh air, showing that superhero stories can evolve by tapping into different eras and styles. Here’s why the genre isn’t dead: Superheroes are timeless. Characters like Superman have been reimagined for generations. James Gunn's new Superman promises a hopeful, optimistic take, breaking from the darker tones of past DC films. Nostalgia sells. The vintage aesthetics in Fantastic Four and Wolverine’s classic yellow suit in Deadpool 3 prove that fans love a good throwback. Creative cosplayers keep the spirit alive. I recently met German cosplayers rocking vintage X-Men outfits. Their passion for the source material shows how much these characters still resonate. So, is superhero fatigue real? Maybe. But with fresh perspectives and creative takes, the genre has plenty of life left. Want to hear more about my encounter with these amazing cosplayers? Check out the full podcast episode!…

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is making a comeback. No, this isn’t just another reboot announcement—we actually have some fresh details about the new series, and they’re worth talking about. The big news? Sarah Michelle Gellar is returning as Buffy! But she won’t be the main character this time around. Instead, it seems the focus will shift to a new generation of vampire slayers, possibly with an ensemble cast. This could bring fresh energy, diversity, and broader appeal to the franchise while keeping that classic Buffy vibe. Here’s what we know: The show will stream on Hulu (likely Disney+ in Europe). Gellar’s role will be more of a mentor , guiding new slayers. No Joss Whedon involvement (thankfully, considering past controversies). While reboots often feel like a cash grab, there's potential here. The original Buffy was groundbreaking, and with thoughtful storytelling, this new series could capture that same magic while addressing modern themes. Curious about my full take on the reboot, nostalgia, and why reboots keep happening? Check out the latest podcast episode!…

Hey there, fellow Star Wars fans! We've known for a while that Sigourney Weaver is part of The Mandalorian and Grogu movie. But in a recent interview, she dropped some exciting new details about her role, and it’s got me thinking this film might be more than just an extended TV episode. Weaver revealed she’ll be sharing scenes with Grogu, who has grown up a bit and will showcase new abilities. That alone has me curious about how his character will evolve. Even more intriguing? Weaver plays a character in a position of authority who sends the Mandalorian on a mission to the Outer Rim. This opens up a galaxy of possibilities: Is she a political leader? Like a Mon Mothma type, pulling strings behind the scenes. A crime boss? Maybe connected to the underworld, adding a gritty dynamic. A Jedi? Fans are already speculating, but I’m not convinced. The key takeaway? This isn’t just a money grab. The film aims to push boundaries, tell new stories, and avoid the “rehash trap” that some franchises fall into. And with Weaver's role hinting at fresh dynamics, the stakes just got higher. Want to hear all my thoughts and theories? Check out the full podcast episode!…

Some stories stay with you long after you close the book. Some characters feel so real that their struggles, triumphs, and losses affect you deeply—even if they’re entirely fictional. I recently spoke with authors Anaïd Haen and Django Mathijsen about their experiences writing emotionally intense stories. Their fantasy series Decadentia was so raw and powerful that they sometimes had to step away from writing—it became too much. They even switched to writing children’s books just to take a break! This conversation hit home for me. As I write my own novel, I’m realizing how much I think about my characters—both the heroes and the villains. They’re in my head, shaping my thoughts, just like the characters I’ve loved as a reader. In this episode, we talk about the power of storytelling, the emotional toll of writing, and how great stories make us feel . 🎧 Listen in and let’s talk about the characters that have stayed with you!…

Books do more than entertain. They challenge us, change us, and shape the way we see the world. That’s why I loved The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa—a story about a boy, a talking cat, and the deeper meaning of books. In this novel, the main character is drawn into different worlds where books are under threat—whether by people who hoard them without reading them, or those who think only “useful” books should exist. It’s a reminder that stories are more than just words on a page. They carry meaning, mystery, and magic. This book resonated with me because it reflects my own love of storytelling—both as a reader and as a writer. In this episode, I talk about why stories matter and how they shape us in ways we don’t always expect. 🎧 Listen now and let’s talk about the books that changed your life!…

What if your church’s sacristans—quietly setting up for Mass on Sunday morning—were also an elf and a bard at a fantasy festival the day before? That’s the real-life story of Ruby and Joost, two amazing cosplayers I met at Elfia, who also serve as dedicated volunteers in their church. Their love for fantasy and faith isn’t a contradiction—it’s a reflection of the same values. Fantasy stories teach us courage, self-sacrifice, and hope, just like the Bible does. For Ruby and Joost, cosplay isn’t just dressing up. It’s a way to bring their favorite stories to life and share them with others. In this episode, I talk with them about how faith and fantasy go hand in hand, and why we shouldn’t be so quick to separate them. 🎧 Tune in for a fun conversation about costumes, communities, and the unexpected ways stories connect us all!…

I love Star Wars . I really do. But even as a lifelong fan, I have to admit—some movies are better than others. And if I had to pick my least favorite? Attack of the Clones . It’s not about the idea. The story of Anakin’s slow turn to the dark side had potential. But the execution? That’s where things fall apart. Anakin’s character shift feels rushed, his romance with Padmé is completely unconvincing, and the dialogue… well, let’s just say sand isn’t the only thing that’s coarse and rough in this movie. Of course, there are great moments too—some amazing action sequences, world-building, and hints of the deeper tragedy unfolding. But every time I rewatch Attack of the Clones , I find myself frustrated by how much better it could have been. In this episode, I break down why this movie doesn’t work for me, and what I wish they had done differently. But hey, maybe you disagree? Let’s talk about it!…

We’ve all had days that feel like they’re on repeat—wake up, work, eat, sleep, repeat. But what if you were actually stuck in the same day, over and over again? That’s exactly what happens to Phil Connors in Groundhog Day , and it’s why this movie is so much more than just a comedy. At first, Phil is selfish and cynical, using the time loop to indulge in anything he wants. But after reliving the same mistakes countless times, he starts to change. He learns that happiness doesn’t come from power or control—it comes from selflessness and genuine care for others. His journey mirrors something much deeper: the idea of purgatory, where transformation happens not through punishment but through learning to let go of ourselves. What if the frustrating loops in our own lives are actually an invitation to grow? If we stopped focusing on what we want and instead looked at how we could help others, how different would our days feel? That’s the real magic of Groundhog Day , and in this episode, I dive into why this story is still so powerful today.…

What if the story you were reading wasn’t just about someone else’s journey, but yours? That’s the magic of Choose Your Own Adventure -style books. I recently discovered a Dutch fantasy author, Dianne Arentsen, who’s keeping this unique genre alive with her interactive books, Fort Enigma and Mystanica . These aren’t ordinary stories. Instead of following a single narrative, you make choices that determine the outcome. In Fort Enigma , you solve riddles and puzzles to navigate different chambers, while Mystanica lets you steer the plot with every decision you make. Each choice creates a unique reading experience—no two readers will have the exact same adventure! Why these books are fascinating: Immersive storytelling: You’re part of the story, solving challenges and shaping the outcome. Replay value: You can read them multiple times and experience entirely different paths. Creative design: QR codes in the book even lead to online games for added interactivity! These books bring back the nostalgia of old-school adventure games and classic Choose Your Own Adventure books while adding a modern twist. In my latest podcast, I interview Dianne and dive into her creative process. If you love fantasy or interactive storytelling, you won’t want to miss this. 🎧 Listen now to hear the full story and learn why these books might just inspire your next great read.

What if your next favorite fantasy series wasn’t about knights or wizards but... cats? That’s right— Warrior Cats is a massive book series following feline clans battling for survival, and I had no idea how deep and beloved this universe was until I stumbled upon it recently. It all started with a chance find at a local book-sharing shelf. The cover, featuring a fierce orange tabby with piercing green eyes, caught my attention immediately. Little did I know, this wasn’t just a cute cat book. With over 40 books and a global fanbase, Warrior Cats has been captivating readers for nearly two decades. Here’s what makes it special: Complex lore: Think clans, territories, alliances, betrayals—basically, Game of Thrones with cats. Emotional stakes: These stories deal with loss, courage, loyalty, and even identity, making them relatable despite the feline protagonists. A built-in fandom: The Warrior Cats community is incredibly passionate and welcoming, which says a lot about the stories’ impact. I’m just diving into the first book, but even in the opening chapters, I’ve been surprised by how the perspective and moral complexity draw you in. If you’ve ever been intrigued by a world that feels both magical and grounded, this might be worth exploring. 🎧 In this episode, I talk about my first impressions and the phenomenon of Warrior Cats . Curious? Listen now and let me know: Are you a Warrior Cats fan?…
