In this Drunk Duck Quackcast we chat about the importance and the process of reviews! Good ones, bad ones, why they all matter, and also why they often don't! ;)
Reviews are an interesting animal, they're a parasitic form of entertainment. They rely wholly of other forms of ...

Chihiro and No Face from Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away and Studio Ghibli
I was driving home from work this evening and an unusual, rather old fashioned looking car with bright high beams began following me on my route. When I made a turn, I looked in the side mirror ...

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 16, 2017
A pet is wonderful to have in your life- they will usually love you unconditionally and give you moments of solace with their antics. They become a member of the family, they have personalities that make them unique across all other pets you will ever have and across species. You ...
Before the Beginning
Banes at 12:00AM, Sept. 14, 2017
One of the great things about the original Star Wars movies was the strong sense of a grand, adventurous, and terrible history before the movie started.

Quackcast 338 - Shared DNA of ideas
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Sept. 5, 2017 LISTEN!
The saying goes that “Good artists copy, great artists steal”, it's attributed to various luminaries such as TS Elliot, Picasso, Tantz Aerine etc, but the important thing is the true meaning: there are very few original ideas, culture is built up out of inherited inspiration that is built ...
The Soundtrack to Your Comic
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Sept. 4, 2017
Remember those large headphones that were perfect for a walkman? Or turning up the volume in a car stereo on a long drive. Listening to music can add a new dimension to an otherwise normal day.
There are some motion picture soundtracks that are so artfully put together that they ...
