For those who worry intently about mouth clicks/noises - Land, read by Dane Whyte O'Hara and his wonderful natural performance

I understand the temptation to erase every breath and click and other noise, but I've been struck by the beautiful performance of this narrator. It's only highlighted by the fact that mouth noises are aplenty, and only serve to humanise the story further. So, a) mouth noises unless egregious don't mean you won't get any good work, this is a major title b) they can often sound better than an over processed audio that sounds less human

I've seen something I never thought I'd ever see

In the opening fight scene of this Russian Kill Bill wannabe, they didn't remove the crash matts from the floor. The floor of this terribly green screen'd in warehouse is soft and cushioned and bounces slightly whenever a goon gets thrown to the floor.

It doesn't get any better and while most of Prey of Wrath (which... what does that even mean?), is horribly boring, there are many moments of awfulness that made me laugh

Available on Xumo if you've got beyond nothing better to do

Are there non-great witches stations?

On my 4th or so relisten and I'm at witchcon, I noted in the discussions around witches stations that the great witches stations were chosen for the coven.

While we know a number of great stations have been destroyed, the presence of great stations suggests the existence of lesser stations.

Do you think they exist and what might they be?

The witch of the watching whales (aquatic tourism) The witch of the Wuthering Lows (bad adaptations of books) The witch of the wagging tails (keeping pets happy)

While i was long term recovering from surgery I decided to sketch every day and see what would happen. This is day 1 versus year 1

That's the death of rats from STP's Discworld if you couldn't tell

I honoured the legacy of Sam Neill by watching Ice (2011), a 3 hour long Day after Tomorrow rip off

Probably the weirdest way to honour the legacy of Sam Neill but I found out he was in an Arctic movie and just had to.

A 3 hour (yeah.......) Day After Tomorrow rip off with 0.5% of the budget. Is weirdly good? The first half especially where Sam Neill is the baddie is really quite good, melding this climate conspiracy thriller with a disaster movie.

After that it turns into your classic family trying to survive evil nature movie, but even that isn't terrible.

Nothing is actually impressive or particularly entertaining, but I also wasn't always bored. Hugely low bar to clear here but on the scale of cheap disaster movies, Ice is pretty okay. It is 3 hours long though so...

I really liked the okay accuracy of the science involved, with the greenland ice sheet playing a main character role for a large portion. And making drilling companies the human extinction event instigators gets all the woke points from me.

I may be getting misgendered on my birthday, a day that tends to hurt more than heal here days, but I'm gonna try and look pretty anyway.

Has anyone else experienced the joy of Merregnon, by Yoko Shimomura? It brings together music and storytelling in a way very reminicent of WBN

I'm new to Merregnon but apparently it's been a project since 2000 and there are two recent releases, Land of Silence in 2021 and Heart of Ice a few months ago. Both are absolutely beautiful works of orchestral storytelling and I highly recommend it to fans of WBN.

Land of Silence has a full concert recording available here - https://www.konserthuset.se/en/merregnon

And Heart of Ice is available on all the music streaming services

Worst trilogies/franchises you've ever sat through for some bizarre reason?

I run a teenie YouTube channel where typically I discuss sciencey things to do with the Arctic, but for Pride I've taken a little swing and made a video covering a topic near and dear to us all here I'm sure. Forgotten queer histories of Arctic peoples that colonialism tried to bury.

Hope people enjoy and I'm very open to feedback if anyone has any!

Any indication of age rating for the graphic novel?

While the adventure might be our beloved children's adventure, our heroes have been known to drop the occasional "fuck" during their travels. I'd love to give this book to some of the younger ones in my family, but do we have any indication of age suitability?

My expectation is it'll be at least young teen suitable, but is there anything confirmed?
