We belong to a lot of different fandoms. We both have separate loves and some that overlaps. Of course, Star Wars is the big one, but this is an area for all of our loves!

Fandom-ing: Yes, We Still Play PokeMon Go

Kurt HargisNovember 6, 2018January 27, 2019 85 Views

Remember Pokemon Go? Remember 2016 when Pokemon Go was all the craze?  Remember going to parks and people were actually there (in south Louisiana during the summer this borders on an insane idea).  Well, it seemed like a fad that quickly went away.Well, not for us.  We might not have…

First Thoughts on Whittaker’s Doctor

Kurt HargisOctober 23, 2018May 7, 2025 117 Views

Jodie Whittaker is the new Doctor. The first woman doctor. These are my first thoughts on Whittaker’s Doctor Who. I love LOVE, the thirteenth Doctor. I figured I get that out of the way first. Our daughter is only 8 months old, so she doesn’t understand anything she sees, but…

Fandom-ing: KISS Army, Sort Of…

Kurt HargisSeptember 18, 2018January 24, 2019 83 Views

The first thing I ever remember purchasing with my own money was Kiss’s album Destroyer at a garage sale. It was a nickel, I bought it.  I’m pretty sure I bought it for two reasons.  The cover was cool, and it contained my favorite song, Beth. Unfortunately my original copy…

Watching: The Exorcist and History

Kurt HargisSeptember 6, 2018February 7, 2020 93 Views

For some reason, I was thinking about The Exorcist the other night.  The original movie is a masterpiece.  It is pure horror and a purely psychological thriller. It’s also one of the most thought-provoking pieces on faith in the modern cinema. It’s a testament to the script and the perfect…

Star Wars-ing: Han Solo Comic

Kurt HargisAugust 29, 2018February 7, 2020 83 Views

The biggest problem with the EU and Disney’s now canon universes was writing for main characters especially if it was in the middle of episodes. Writing for Luke, Han, and Leia can be tricky because we know they aren’t in real danger.  We know they will live to fight another…

DoctorWho-ing: Getting Excited for the 13th Doctor

Kurt HargisAugust 14, 2018February 7, 2020 72 Views

We came to Doctor Who really late. We started watching the Doctor toward the end of Matt Smith’s run but before Peter Capaldi was announced. We were in grad school, so we had little time to dedicate ourselves to watching something new, so we were very selective. In fact, we…

Listening: The Cars

Kurt HargisAugust 3, 2018February 7, 2020 84 Views

This will be a semi-regular feature where I pick a band I haven’t listened to more than what has played on the radio. I was going to try to make it weekly, but I quickly realized that was too lofty of a goal since I really want to listen to…
