“But IDigress…” returns (again)!
This week, another YouTuber published a bad faith video full of kaiju hot takes. This time it was GSTE making unfounded criticisms of the masterful Heisei Gamera trilogy. Such a hot take requires the combined powers of Nathan Marchand and Ryan “The Omni Viewer” Collins to rebut it.
This video proved controversial after GSTE got wind of it and bombarded it with comments. See and read for yourself.
I haven’t stopped writing–I’ve just been writing for my podcasts! One of those is The Monster Island Film Vault, a podcast seeking entertainment and enlightenment through tokusatsu. Here are the YouTube playlists for each season of the show, but you can listen to it wherever you get your podcasts and its website, www.monsterislandfilmvault.com.
I also co-host the pocasts Henshin Men and The Power Trip, and I’m a cast member on Scyther Podcasts’ Power Ranger: The Audio Drama.

I owe all of you a real blog, especially since I fell off of my “journal of the plague fortnight” wagon.
In the meantime, here are the episodes of my podcast I haven’t posted here.
I will be tabling at a small convention, and I have applied to table at another local author event. Both will be in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The first will be Fantasticon Fort Wayne, which is being held September 21-22, 2019. Eric Anderson, founder of Nerd Chapel and my co-author on the 42 books, will also be there, but we’re not tabling together. The con announced that they would be selling five heavily-discounted tables last week, so I jumped at the opportunity. I wasn’t sure I’d snag a table, but I got lucky (or was “blessed,” if you’re the religious type). I’ll be selling and signing my books (although Eric will be selling the 42, so get them from him) and promoting my upcoming podcast The Monster Island Film Vault, which is launching September 25.
According to the convention’s website,
Fantasticon is a mid-size show created for true comic book and pop culture collectors and fans. The fans that come to our shows are true collectors that are looking for those rare items for their personal collections. Most leave very satisfied as we pride ourselves on having great dealers and artists at our shows. If you collect it, you will find it at a Fantasticon Show.
Fantasticon is proud to have a presence in multiple cities throughout the mid-west. Currently we are in five different cities, in three different states including Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.
We also, are very proud of the fact that our admission price is the lowest of any other comparable shows. And the cost for being an exhibitor or artist at the Fantasticon is far less than any comparable comic cons out there.
While I haven’t received a confirmation yet, I have applied to table to table at the annual Local Author Book Fair, which will be held November 30, 2019, from 10am-4pm at the main branch of the Allen County Public Library. Find out more info here on ACPL’s blog.
Be there or be square!
