The Left Page - Episode 87 - The First Law 1-3: Master Making Fantasy Worlds
02:47:31||Ep. 87Hello everyone!!Kicking off 2025 with the Left Page we bring a very special series of books, the First Law trilogy, by Joe Abercrombie!A series dear to Leon and, now to the pod itself. We dive into how these books actually achieve goals of engaging the psychological, the social and the political, while also making compelling literature, imagine that!As such, we explore the building of this world, and how it depicts History, war, power, and even its own sense of mythology. A very strong recommendation from us, and a wonderful time for sure.Enjoy!If you can and are interested in early episodes and the Here Be Extras, check our Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/leftpage Also!

01:19:43|Hello everyone!We are rounding out 2024 and Dunecember with a very special episode on a... "special" film? David Lynch's Dune from 1984 is not good. But it is worth talking about, and with a friend! As Audrey joins us to brave these strange strange sands.Plenty on the erasure of community and the fremen themselves, the roles of social identity, and some of the not good choices and narrative paths this version of Dune took.And all for our very first approach of David Lynch in the podcast!Enjoy!Check out Audrey's podcast where there'll hopefully be more soon!https://open.spotify.com/show/6utj3P2gXmaziT0T5QvTj0?si=0d33a371a86e4428And the book mentioned early on about the production of this film, A Masterpiece in Disarray (David Lynch's Dune – An Oral History), by Max Evryhttps://www.1984publishing.com/bookstore/a-masterpiece-in-disarray-david-lynchs-dune-an-oral-historyIf you can and are interested in early episodes and the Here Be Extras, check our Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/leftpage Also!

03:12:47|Greetings and Salutations everyone,We decided to do a second HBM episode this month instead of a HBE, we know a part of our audience likes it when we talk about Bioware so we hope this is a fun holiday present for you guys! We are going to be honest, this is a very text based analysis, and might not be the easiest to follow along with for those who have not played the game. We do think there is something there for everyone since we talk about how you can approach RPGs and choices in video games in general. We also talk about notions of representation that are universally accessible.Hope you enjoy!Frank & LeonIf you can and are interested in early episodes and the Here Be Extras, check our Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/leftpage Also!

The Left Page - Episode 85 - Good Night, Sleep Tight: Short Friction w/ Nate
01:11:48||Ep. 85Hello everyone!!The end of the year and the holidays approach rapidly, but not yet! Rejecting that, we remain in the lands of horror, as we talk about Brian Evenson's Good Night, Sleep Tight, with our friend Nate!We dive into some of the themes in this collection of short stories, their representation of childhood and anxieties of parenthood, sleep and more. And while elaborating on elements we enjoyed and... didn't, unfortunately! Still, we have an excellent time chatting about it, and we hope you like it too!Enjoy!Do check out Nate's previous writing on Evenson and his fiction!https://www.full-stop.net/2013/07/19/blog/nathan-weatherford/unknowable-quantities/And please support our Patreon if you can and are interested in early episodes and now live Here Be Extras!https://www.patreon.com/leftpage Intro: "Ultralounge" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Outro: "Leve Palestina" SpartacusHere Be Media - Episode 45 - Interview with the Vampire S02: Vamphere, Vampthere, Vampeverywhere! w/ Jay
01:37:41|Hello everyone!!For this month's spooky HBM we go back to Interview with a Vampire! Season 2! And in good company too, with Jay, of LibraryPunk and Tender Subject fame!It's vampire talk again, as we go back into interviewing immortal beings and finding out just how interesting their drama really is. Is it? We wonder that as we dive into this continued adaptation, its successes and limits, and just how effective, or not, their queer representation really is effective or that engaging!Enjoy!And, of course, check out Jay's work elsewhere!LibraryPunkTender SubjectAnd please support our Patreon if you can and are interested in early episodes and the Here Be Extras!https://www.patreon.com/leftpage Also!
