Really enjoyed this episode, you both seemed very knowledgeable on the topic and I really enjoyed the back and forth discussion. Looking forward to potentially future episodes and topics.
ReplyDeleteI concur! Lots of potential here. I can't wait for episodes.
DeleteI demand that you bring the "What if Wolverine was the Lord of Vampires" and also "What If Wolverine Was the Lord of Vampires During Inferno" comics into the discussion. Otherwise it will be forever incomplete!
ReplyDeleteMind-boggling. Looking forwards to seeing where you go with this when I can give it a full listen. A new series. Great.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to get deeper in the topics raised in this episode, you should read this :

It's a very interesting essay about Lovecraft.
@Peggy
DeleteI refer to the book in the video--and the essay I wrote after reading it.
And what did you think of it ? It's rather unusual to have a French author write about an american one. I know that Lovecraft was very successful in France when he was not so much in the US but did houellebecq succeed in catching the "american way of life of the 20ies" correctly ?

DeleteI thought it was very persuasive and interesting.
