Hugos There Podcast #33: Conjure Wife (feat. Colin Kuskie and James Ralston)

It’s the Hugos There / Take Me To Your Reader crossover no one asked for, but we’re doing it anyway!

Not So Brief Review: Glass

For their first Not So Brief review, Ethan and Seth discuss Glass, M. Night Shyamalan’s latest follow-up to Unbreakable and Split. Note: You’ll probably find that our Not So Brief episodes are actually shorter than our Brief ones. That’s just how it works, we guess.
