    That's not an answer.

    My gut answer is “The Wizard of Oz is a fucking masterpiece and 2001: A Space Odyssey is fucking dull.”

    The honest answer is that Wizard is due for a rewatch in light of HAA! and I’ve only seen 2001 once and it was about ten years ago (in fact, both are now currently on why watchlist for HBO Max, which I got last week).

    Even if I end up liking 2001 next time, though, it’s extremely unlikely I’d rank it anywhere near Wizard in terms of quality, soul, or legacy.

    Cerebro, which just released its 11th episode, is an amazing look into individual X-Men. Each episode begins with a little banter and a "how did you get into [X-character]", then delves into a character file, then the meat of the show. The most recent episode gets into Beast, but really the larger X-world and how the current X-books relate directly to real-world politics. It's a must-listen.

    I'll second Mike's recommendation of Cerebro. I'd also recommend the Emma Frost, Cyclops, and Iceman episodes. I spend a lot of time thinking about X-Men (it's the only weekly books I read anymore) so it's a nice way to get caught up on continuity. It's not as Deep Dive as Jay and Miles but definitely easier to cover the small stuff.

    At the advice of my publishing guru, I've launched a site for the book I've been working on the past five years. It's about one hundred extinct animals from the past one hundred million years (one species per million year interval).

    The first three chapters are now up (minus some additional content which will be in the completed book). I am still looking for an artist for this, as well as permission for some of the photos, so for now, there are stand-ins for each for demonstrative purposes.

    Enjoy and feel free to provide feedback or notify me of any technical problems with the site. I'm hoping to add more stories in the blogs page soon.
