Tom Clancy wrote the main books, but all those direct to paperback series with his name on them were "co-written" or ghostwritten.

I went to highschool with Tom Clancy's son (I was a freshman, he was a senior I think) and we were both in the theater program as techies. he wore tie-dye shirts, smoked a lot of weed (maybe did some hallucinogens too), had long hair he dyed blond, and a massive nerd all around. I think he wore raver parachute pants too lol

i was tickled to learn that clancys first wife was a nurse, much like the wife of his second self-insert character (the first being jack ryan), john clark.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:Honestly I was pretty disappointed with the Tom Clancy episode. I thought they would talk more about his literary output instead of the impact of the Tom Clancy brand. And it better be a three hour marathon. This new trend of War Nerd episodes being less than two hours long is quite frankly disgusting.

mcmagic posted:It's funny how much better This is Sus was than Time for my Stories. Yeah they were trying to cover so much content in an hour: a tv show can be huge, and I’m not going to watch 200 hours of GOT to see their takes on it, so it was like a quick summary followed by the implications on culture and then I was like “I guess I’ll take you word for it, I’m not watching Jag or whatever.” When Felix has a specific episode to watch he can summarize it in enough detail that you don’t have to watch it. edit: also hearing someone talk about tv shows that are good was kind of boring to me, This is Us and Legion of Dads or whatever it was called were sicko poo poo that I wanted to hear about.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:If magic was real and you could actually consort with demons, then we'd be completely hosed since there's nothing stopping capital from dominating the world of magick either. So it's real convenient how all of these systems of magic have to bend over backwards to handwave this problem away by claiming you have to be a woman in your estrus, or be a good person or something. Buddy, if magic only worked because of good intentions or positive will or whatever the gently caress then why are you consorting with demons and trying to cast curses? lizard people, dear reader

No talking about Twitter unless the show is about Twitter should be a rule for all podcasts. I’ve reached my limit today. I don’t tell my friends about Something Awful conversations I’ve had.

Yeah, I don't really like the ones about actual good shows, including the This Is Sus ones about shows they liked (like the Oz one). I want more episodes about things like Council of Dads or A Million Little Things. IMO Felix is much better at identifying and discussing bad and dumb things than good things. His opinions on what's good are pretty decent but nothing particularly insightful (they generally just kind of align with the views of a certain type of nerdy person), while he's very good at capturing the essence of people being stupid/bad. edit: btw if you haven't you should watch some This Is Us just so you can directly witness the fact that Felix is not exaggerating in the slightest when he discusses that show. It is some of the most bizarre inhuman poo poo I've ever witnessed on TV.

I had high hopes for the Xfiles episode but they barely discussed the show and I was so disappointed that I stopped listening entirely after that I did like the Lost episode early on though
