Happy New Year! Welcome to my first video of 2014! This week I review a book. Which one? Well, some may think it’s an unremarkable read, but I loved it. Watch to find out what it is!
Sarah, Anthony, and I had lots of fun making episode 19 of my vlog. We’re also quite silly. And nerdy. Check out these outtakes, ab libs, and flubbed lines. They’re as funny as the actual episode! (Which you can view here). Enjoy!
In case you didn’t know, I’m a Whovian (“Doctor Who” fan). I wanted to review the franchise’s 50th anniversary special, but I was so busy, I was barely able to watch it and didn’t have time to review it myself. So, I invited a special guest to review it for me–and he was interrupted by some unexpected arrivals! Special thanks to my friends Sarah Kilduff and Anthony Gangemi.
Here’s a homespun “trailer” for my next vlog. I don’t normally do this, but it’s a review for a major event in fandom and I had a fun idea for a preview, so I made it. I even tried recording a voiceover for teh first time.
Featuring the music from the “Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor” teaser trailer music, composed by Murray Gold.
Special thanks to the Whovians and celebrities I met at Gen-Con 2012 and 2013, who you see in those photo montage. I hope none of you mind me using those pictures.

Happy Halloween, True Believers! In honor the spookiest time of the year, I’ve decided to do another top five list. This time it’s the five best giant monster movies. Enjoy my selections!
This episode has two special treats. First, I have a sidekick: Leo. More importantly, I have my first guest: my friend and fellow writer Nick Hayden, who’s just published a new novel entitled, “The Unremarkable Squire.” The episode is done in the style of a late night talk show. Enjoy!
In a “sequel” to my first vlog, I give more tips to aspiring writers for selling books at conventions, all of which I learned from attending Gen-Con 2013 in Indianapolis. This makes a grand total of 13 tips. I hope you’re not superstitious. (haha)
In a special episode for the online serial, “Children of the Wells,” I talk about where I got my ideas for the novella I wrote for the fantasy saga, entitled “The Fall of the House of Kyzer.” I reveal how I created the city of Thyrion, the characters’ names, and what my goals were for the story.
Then when I couldn’t contain myself anymore and try to give spoilers, I get a call from one of the novella’s characters insisting I keep my mouth shut. Talk about breaking the fourth wall…
After it seemed like everything was keeping me from posting this video, here it is!
I “meet” a famous monster and nearly fire my brother/cameraman/sometimes co-host today before I review the under-appreciated summer blockbuster, “Pacific Rim.” Surprisingly, it’s more than just a series of giant monster vs. giant robot fights. Watch to learn more.
(My apologies for posting this late. YouTube was giving me issues).
It’s a bird! No, it’s a plane! It’s Nate Marchand!
Superman, the world’s most famous superhero, made his grand return to the big screen after a seven-year absence in “Man of Steel.” But is the movie more powerful than a locomotive? Being a “superfan” myself, I review the film–after doing some “superhero-ing” myself.
You can read my text review of the film on my Superhero Examiner page here: http://www.examiner.com/review/it-s-a-bird-it-s-a-plane-it-s-a-good-superman-reboot.
