  • Conan the Barbarian

    Conan the Barbarian
    Oct 18 2022

    We kick off our journey through fantasy film from the 1980s to the 2020s with Conan the Barbarian, the much-maligned box-office hit that kicked off a plague of direct-to-video loincloth knockoffs. Yet it's an important moment in the history of fantasy film, with production design anticipating the "fantasy-as-history" approach of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings. Furthermore, it's a well-made film in its own right, championing the role of the warrior woman in adult fantasy in ways that are less reductive than other films of the decade.


    I mention the excellent Fan/Anim podcast in this episode. Here's the link to get there! https://www.fantasy-animation.org/all-episodes

    It's the start of a new series on fantasy film from the 1980s to today! This week, I deliver a brief history of fantasy film along with the reason why we're starting in the 1980s and not back in the silent era.

  • Women Won Steampunk

    Women Won Steampunk
    Mar 4 2022
    Early in her career, naysayers told Gail Carriger her books "weren't steampunk enough." A little over a decade later, Carriger and a host of female writers are the "top of the pops" on Steampunk lists on Goodreads. This week, I'm talking about how we approach researching literature, and how sometimes, we're missing some of the most Important Things in the world.
