  • Sci-Fi and Fantasy discussions

    From one of the hosts of The Spawn Chunks, Joel and a rotating group of friends discuss books, movies, and games (not Minecraft). Episodes are irregular but worth it!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Citadel Cafe 471: Sylvie Is Loki The Worst
Q: Do you think the full-length feature movie is going the way of the dinosaur?
I don't think the format will go away, or maybe I hope it's not. There's too many people that just adore it as an art form.
The Citadel Cafe 471: Sylvie Is Loki The Worst
Q: What have you been feeling about Loki Season 2 so far?
Overall, I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying the storylines because it's a long story arc, which I appreciate. It picks off right after season one finished and starts running. I really like the chemistry between characters and the addition of OB played by Ki-Hoon Kwan is a good decision because he brings extra comedy.
