The Little Teashop in Tokyo, By Julie Caplin, Read by Charlotte Worthing

I love these books and have for all my life. I love this movie and am thrilled that so many fans AND non-fans are loving it too. Check out my intro as a BizzleCast quickie in a separate podcast but let’s not beat around the bush: this movie is spectacular, nearly flawless, and incredibly loyal to the source material in a way that somehow spoke to and was understood by folks totally new to this property, which is just as extremely high level of an achievement as making a good Dune movie. Buckle up in your thopter, get your shield on and your knife sharpened, and join me for a hell of a ride and a commentary I had a blast doing. You’ll be able to hear my giant grin as I talk about literally my favorite thing to talk about: DUNE!

Books five and six of THE EXPANSE series – “Nemesis Games” and “Babylon’s Ashes” – by James S. Corey aka Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham are among, IMO, the greatest sci-fi writing of all-time, and while the TV series took a little while to get its legs, by these final two seasons we are doing all the commentaries for, they hit on all cylinders to give us both characters and spectacles we’d never forget.

The BizzleCast 196: “Twilight of the Apprentice” full commentary ft. Tim Geraci!

DC Films madness! SHORT VERSION: Batman 2021 looks VERY promising, way more than I initially thought. Birds of Prey looks like a total, absolute dumpster fire (SPOILER: NO BABS???? WTF DC??!). And Suicide Squad 2 looks… fascinating? 

Part one of two podcasts — in the second part we discuss Margot Robbie’s major role now, the Squad and so on, but this first part is all about BATMAN and Robert Battinson who we VERY much have a good feeling about for a wide variety of reasons. You’ll see why and you can tell me if you agree or not. Enjoy, Bizzlers!=

The Bizzle’s Daily Rebels: “In The Name of the Rebellion 1&2" (S4 eps 3 & 4) ft. Simi Climo

The definition of a good-not-great movie but with an excellent handful of lead characters — especially the illustrious Hailee Steinfeld, the hilarious John Cena, and the man of the hour, BEE!!! Some very sweet and funny moments and thrilling if short action scenes hold this together, but mostly, it’s further proof that Hailee Steinfeld can be funny, sweet, dramatic, and just generally awesome in literally ANY context on screen. Can’t wait for her to be Kate Bishop and a leader of the Avengers! Enjoy, Bizzlers.

The BizzleCast 256: BUMBLEBEE Full-length commentary by The Bizzle!

After finally seeing and loving THE DARK KNIGHT, Papa Bizzle stumbled on to the excellent Alfred prequel show on Epix called PENNYWORTH, and we spend most of the time hearing why it’s so damn good while DC on TV and film is so damn uneven. We also talk Black Widow vs Wonder Woman movies next year, continue the Hailee Steinfeld situation discussion, and more!

The Song of the White Wolf

2018: AU’s awesomest nerd journalist Alaisdair Leith of Novastream and beyond returns to the podcast!! It’s been almost 15 years since I first spent time in Africa and fell in love with the people of the Light Continent, so I need all the perspective possible on what people new to African culture think of BLACK PANTHER. Luckily, I have awesome friends and colleagues coming on to talk about it, and it’s fitting that Alaisdair from Novastream Network is the first, as you’ll hear in a podcast that I still love to revisit and Alaisdair has some great insights that are even truer today.

A BizzleCast Classic: Alaisdair RETURNS! & joins The Bizzle to Deep Dive BLACK PANTHER (2018)

Set photos and casting roles continue to bolster the BizzleCast Prediction that Team Witcher is not going to stop at the end of THE BLOOD OF ELVES (Ciri Saga Book 1) for the end of Season Two on Netflix but in fact would ***go deep into Ciri Saga Book 2, THE TIME OF CONTEMPT*** having to do with getting the main bad guys and plot going sooner than later....

***This podcast contains *MAJOR SPOILERS* for Book Two of the Ciri Saga, THE TIME OF CONTEMPT, so I highly recommend you get through at least half of that book as I will be putting forth a theory having to do with that book appearing in the upcoming Season Two rather than waiting for Season Three and has some MAJOR reveals. Be warned and enjoy!****
