  • Story Secrets - Review Of The Movie 'Carry-On'
    Not so long ago, my friends recommended a movie that had been sitting on my Netflix homepage forever: Carry On. At the time, I scrolled past it, thinking, Eh, maybe later. But when they described it as a non-stop, old-school action thriller, I knew I had to give it a shot. And wow—this movie is peak action movie nonsense in the best way possible. It’s got it all: an everyday guy caught in a criminal plot, high-stakes airport security drama, and ridiculous moments that make you yell, “That would NEVER happen!” But somehow, you don’t care, because it’s just so much fun. The story? A security officer at LAX (who’s lost his confidence after failing the police academy) gets blackmailed into helping a criminal get past security. Cue high-tension moments, moral dilemmas, and a very Die Hard 2 vibe. Sure, the plot is full of holes—you mean to tell me a rookie TSA agent is left completely unsupervised at one of the busiest airports in the world? But hey, realism isn’t why we watch these movies. If you love Die Hard, Air Force One, or any action movie where the hero gets way too deep into trouble, give Carry On a try. It’s not perfect, but it’s a blast. Have you seen it? Let me know what you think!

  • Story Secrets - Is Mara Jade Finally Coming to Star Wars Canon?
    When Disney took over Star Wars, they wiped out the entire Expanded Universe, leaving fans heartbroken. Years of novels, comics, and games—gone, or rather, rebranded as Legends. While some elements have slowly crept back into canon (hello, Thrawn!), one major character remains absent: Mara Jade. Now, a new rumor suggests that Disney is considering a Mara Jade TV series. Is it true? No idea. But it makes sense. Mara’s story is classic Star Wars—a villain turned hero, redemption, a personal connection to Luke Skywalker (even if Disney avoids that part). Plus, imagine a deep dive into the Empire from her perspective—think The Penguin meets Star Wars. But here’s the catch: Dave Filoni has hinted that Star Wars needs fresh stories, not just rehashes of the past. Could a Mara Jade show fit that vision? Or is this just another fan-fueled rumor? Either way, I’d love to see it happen. What do you think? Would a Mara Jade show work in today’s Star Wars universe?

  • Story Secrets - "Fantasy Helps Us Discover Our Own World"
    It’s Fantasy Friday, and I’ve got two things for you: an inspiring interview with fantasy author and illustrator Robin Rozendal and an update on my own fantasy novel. Meet Robin Rozendal: I met Robin at the Fantasy Festival in Arcen, and her creativity blew me away. Here’s why: Massive, Original World: Her fantasy books explore living cities—yes, cities with thoughts, emotions, and even mental health struggles. It’s a concept I’ve never seen before, and it’s brilliant. Multi-Talented Creator: She’s not just an author; she illustrates her own books and runs two YouTube channels (in Dutch) about writing and videography. Her writing journey even inspired me to start my own Booktube channel. Her world-building is next-level, blending human characters with sentient cities that communicate through emotions and memories. If that doesn’t intrigue you, I don’t know what will. My Novel Update: Inspired by creators like Robin, I finally gave myself permission to write. I’m in month two of my novel-writing journey: January: Focused on plotting, world-building, and character sketches. February: Drafting phase with a goal of 3,000 words a day. Surprisingly, I often exceed that, hitting 5,000 words or more. The story has evolved beyond my original outline, and that’s part of the magic. Writing isn’t just about getting words on paper; it’s about discovering the story as you go. If you’ve ever wanted to write, consider this your sign: start today. You might just find a new passion.

  • Story Secrets - Severance Season 2: Does It Live Up to the Hype?
    If you’ve been holding your breath for Severance Season 2, exhale—it’s here, and it’s absolutely worth the wait. I’m Father Roderick, a priest and a geek, and today I’m diving into why this mind-bending series is still one of the best shows on television. When I first talked about Severance, I raved about its originality, mystery, and sheer brilliance. But with the bar set so high, could Season 2 deliver? Spoiler-free verdict: YES. What Makes Season 2 Stand Out: Visual Storytelling: The cinematography is stunning—abstract, art-house vibes that feel both beautiful and unsettling. Expanding the World: We finally see more of the outside world, blurring the lines between “innies” and “outies.” Double Character Arcs: Each actor juggles two personas, creating layered, complex storytelling. Mind-Blowing Episodes: Episode 4, in particular, feels like a standalone film with twists I never saw coming. The Severance official podcast is also a must-listen. Featuring creators and cast members like Ben Stiller, it offers behind-the-scenes insights without spoiling future episodes. If you haven’t started Severance yet, begin with Season 1. Trust me, it’s not just a show—it’s an experience.

  • Story Secrets - Fantastic Four & the Rise of Retro Heroes
    You’ve probably heard the talk: "Superhero fatigue is real." With some recent Marvel and DC projects underperforming, it's easy to see why. But hold on—there’s a fresh wave of superhero content that might just change the game. Take the upcoming Fantastic Four movie. The trailer has a retro vibe that's refreshingly different from the usual MCU fare. It feels like a breath of fresh air, showing that superhero stories can evolve by tapping into different eras and styles. Here’s why the genre isn’t dead: Superheroes are timeless. Characters like Superman have been reimagined for generations. James Gunn's new Superman promises a hopeful, optimistic take, breaking from the darker tones of past DC films. Nostalgia sells. The vintage aesthetics in Fantastic Four and Wolverine’s classic yellow suit in Deadpool 3 prove that fans love a good throwback. Creative cosplayers keep the spirit alive. I recently met German cosplayers rocking vintage X-Men outfits. Their passion for the source material shows how much these characters still resonate. So, is superhero fatigue real? Maybe. But with fresh perspectives and creative takes, the genre has plenty of life left. Want to hear more about my encounter with these amazing cosplayers? Check out the full podcast episode!
