That’s right, it’s time for another edition of Weekly Link Love. As we’ve done before, this is where we highlight websites, blogs, videos or other things we think you should know about.

This time around we’re highlighting a few of the great YouTube content creators we watch and enjoy on the regular. These talented folks work tirelessly to bring us informative, entertaining and fun video content and we think it’s time they got the love they deserve.

You may have heard of none, some or all of these creators, but whatever the case, we think they warrant a spot in the Weekly Link Love. As always, don’t forget to spread the love. Comment, like and subscribe. But remember, be kind.

Now, on to the links!

Critical Role – The one that started, and continues to lead, the D&D streaming explosion. Great adventures and an amazing cast of characters. Is it Thursday yet?

Dylan Laine – Want to learn piano, guitar or ukulele, Dylan is the one to watch.

Grainy Days – Photographer Jason Kummerfeldt takes you through his process, photos and inspirations in a fun, funny and informative way. And his photos are pretty great too. Oh, and Baxter is awesome. In fact, just check out the channel for Baxter. You won’t be sorry. 

iJustine – She’s been in the tech game for quite some time but, if you want to know anything about anything tech, Justine has got you covered. Smart, funny, talented and knowledgeable. A winning combination the entertains and informs.

James Hoffman – If you want to know anything about making the best cup of coffee you possibly can, James is your man. If he doesn’t know, nobody does.

Lindsey Ellis – Some of the best and most insightful film and television commentary and analysis you’ll find on YouTube. Do you want to understand how and why movies and TV shows work, or don’t work? Watch Lindsey.

Matt Day – One of the best photography channels on YouTube. Matt is an amazing photographer and a great dude. If you love photography, film or digital, check him out for sure. 

New Rockstars – Led by Eric Voss, this channel is one of our favorites for crazy movie and television commentary, deep dives and theories. Eric knows his stuff and finds the hidden meanings, signs, Easter eggs and clues where others can’t.

WASD20 – A hub for D&D and tabletop role-players and map makers. This channel is another of our favorites.

Whiskey and Waffles – We’re probably a little biased here. Ok, more than a little. Still, this is a great channel with some fun content. We especially love that D&D Twitch stream 

Wyrmwood – These guys make some of the best D&D tables and accessories in the world. Their channel, Wyrm Lyfe, is damn funny and full of interesting (and a few crazy) characters. We never miss an episode.  

That’s it for this week. Let us know if you find an interesting link you’d like to share.

Until then, don’t forget to spread the love!

As you’ve seen there’s been a bunch of new episodes of The Flickcast over the last few months. We’re thrilled to bring the podcast back to you and we look forward to doing it for a long time to come. 

But what about this website? Well, good news (we think, at least) the site is coming back too. That’s right, look for more content dropping here shortly. We’re getting things ready behind-the-scenes, but hope to have some stuff ready to go for you soon. 

We’re talking, of course, about articles, reviews, tutorials, news, videos and more. All the stuff you used to come here for. Going forward, our coverage will be a bit different than what we did before, though.

We’ll keep talking about movies, television and all that good stuff, but we’re also going to expand into other areas of pop culture like books, music, streaming, technology, tabletop RPGs and much more.

Pretty much anything nerds are playing, watching and enjoying these days will be fair game. It’s gonna be fun. We hope you’ll join us and enjoy!

Until then, look for a brand new episode of The Flickcast every Monday at 9AM Central Time. Thanks and we’ll see you soon.

Hello and welcome to a brand new episode of The Flickcast. A pop culture podcast about stuff nerds love. On this week’s show Joe is, unfortunately, away so Chris is joined (once again) by Rick Marshall of Digital Trends to talk about all sorts of amazing things.

Some of these amazing things include the recent HBOMax/Warner Bros announcement, some favorites from all the latest Marvel, Disney and Star Wars news and what they’re looking forward to in 2021. And yes, they also discuss how 2020 wasn’t all bad.

How do they explain “2020 wasn’t all bad”? Well, by highlighting some of the many great movies, tv shows and more that came out during this very difficult year. Hey it’s something, right? It wasn’t all bad, just mostly bad. 

It’s a big show with lots going on. Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays!

It’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast and on this one Chris and Joe move into a different dimension: time. That’s right, time. As in they go back in time . . . back to the beginning.

If you’ve ever wondered how it all started and what shaped and created our intrepid hosts, then you’re in for a treat. This is that story.

But don’t worry. There’s no radioactive spiders, fleeing far away planets right before they explode or parents being killed in an alley next to a movie theater. And absolutely no pearl necklaces falling to the ground in excruciating slo-mo. Not this time, anyway.

Instead, the boys take it all the way back and talk about the things that made them they way they are today. Movies, television, music, games, comics and many of the other influences that shaped their impressionable young minds. In other words: This is their origin story.

It’s pretty epic. Thanks for listening.

On this episode Chris and Joe move on from development hell into the virtual Hell-on-Earth often created by visionary director David Lynch. This is the first of a new series where the boys go deep into the work and career of a specific artist and discuss their style, technique and what makes their work resonate with audiences.

Lynch’s films and television achievements include Eraserhead, Dune, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and the groundbreaking television series Twin Peaks. All of these, and the rest of his work, are characterized by stunning visuals, complex characters, outrageous situations and often stark brutality. He’s been praised as a genius visionary by fans and critics alike and he’s won numerous awards.

His work has been discussed and studied for years with the director himself offering rare information as to what his work means and why he’s presented it the way he has. So what does it all mean, really? Chris and Joe think they’re up to the challenge of explaining it all so, in this first in a series of Deep Dives, they wade in on the films, television and career of David Lynch.

It’s pretty great. Thanks for listening.

On this episode Chris and Joe move on from Horror and Halloween into a hell of a different kind: development. That’s right, this week the boys go deep into the filmmaking process and discuss how the sausage is made. In fact, they even talk about what’s inside the sausage before it gets stuffed into those tasty tubes.

Damn, now we want sausage. Or donuts. That metaphor works too. Anyway, this week’s episode gets into all the aspects of filmmaking including the development and pre-production process, production and a bit about post and distribution as well.

Believe us, it’s way more interesting than it sounds. No, really. And yes, they also discuss a lot, well, you know, more. It’s another great episode. Thanks for listening.

On this episode Chris and Joe tackle a subject they don’t discuss very often: horror movies. That’s right, in honor of it being October and with Halloween coming up, the boys talk about some of their favorite horror films, what they like and don’t like about the genre and generally what scares them. Hint: it’s not clowns, although they are pretty scary.

And even if they don’t get completely into horror movies this time, they will on a special upcoming episode with a great guest. You’ll want to be here for that one. Meantime, they also get back into upcoming Marvel film and TV, heap even more praise on Enola Holmes, Millie Bobby Brown and the rest of the cast and renew their commitment to all-things Star Trek. Plus, the usual more.

This is gonna be a shorter episode synopsis as the actual episode is late due to some technical difficulties. So, we’ll just let it (and Chris & Joe) speak for themselves. Thanks for listening.

It’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast. And this time, we’re not alone. 

That’s right, this week Chris and Joe welcome special guest Jason Inman. He’s an author, host, comic book writer, podcaster and Army veteran. Plus, he’s a great guy.

The three discuss Jason’s life growing up in Kansas, his time in the military and the development of his love for comics and writing. They also discuss other things including DC versus Marvel, Star Trek, first video game consoles and Jason’s dislike for Klingons.

They also talk about social media, fandom, the treatment of women in comics and entertainment and dealing with things during this weird time. They also get into life, family, the search for toys, talking to your kids about starting a YouTube channel and the first time he saw his comic for sale in a store.
