Bomb Girls: Episode 4 – Bringing Up Bombshell

  Episode 4, puts us past the halfway mark, and leads us racing towards the end of the first season (which implies there will be a second season, and personally that’s the way I like to see it). Ali Liebert, in our interview with her earlier in the week said this episode pushes her character…

We Can Do It… But…

I know I promised last week not to do a lot of Op/Ed pieces, however this one sprang quite organically from the constant emailing Sue and I do back and forth and so Sue and I happily share writing credit on this one. It started with Bomb Girls. The television show has brought a lot of…

Chatting with Ali Liebert

Tuesday evening, Sue and I got to chat with the very cool Ali Liebert! We rang her up, and had a great talk about Bomb Girls, her role as Betty, her wardrobe, and her fantastic cast mates. She’s a lot of fun (and just between you and me, seems incredibly cool), and we do hope…

Tim’s Top Ten Detectives

People seem to love lists. We love to see how our favorites stack up against someone else’s, or maybe learn about a title or character or book in a genre we like that we had never heard of before. Today, it popped into my head that I wondered what my favorite all-time detectives were. To…

The Black Cat (1934)

Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, together for the first time!! Stealing it’s title from an Edgar Allen Poe tale, the film actually has nothing to do with the story, despite saying it’s based on it. Two honeymooners visiting Hungary get caught up in a a life and death struggle between the two horror icons. Lugosi…

A Pint and a Chinwag with Paul Amos

Bomb Girls: Episode 3 – How You Trust

Now that we know the characters we’ve been introduced to, and the world they live in, they can stat to introduce change, and this episode does that full-out for five of the show’s characters in big ways. And let’s not forget Billie Holiday. Her music, depending on your mood can be heard as happy, thoughtful,…

Fandom’s Underbelly – A Hive of Scum & Villainy.

Fandom. I always thought it was supposed to be about a shared love of something. Meeting others who had some of the same passions and interests as you, and bonding over those common appetites. And while this can be true, a lot of the times, this is also just a surface view. Underneath in the…
