Prussian Model Stockholm Syndrome

Over at Yard Sale of the Mind, the inestimable Joseph Moore attempts to shake parents from their They Live-style illusion that Catholic schools differ substantially in their teaching approach from Prussian Model public schools.

Captain Blood and the Soul Cycle

Captain Blood and the Soul Cycle

My friend and editing client Alex, @DaytimeRenegade on Twitter, produced a fun little Periscope about the classic Errol Flynn movie Captain Blood and my Soul Cycle horror/adventure series.   Watch the Periscope here. Alex's observation of the differences in structure and pacing between pre and post-1980s movies is quite astute--especially his example…

Ritual and Consistency

Ritual and Consistency

A recent study presented to the Society for Catholic Liturgy showed that Catholics prefer ritual and consistency in the Mass and shun changes meant to make the Mass "more accessible". The summary of the Ligas’s and McCallion’s research boils down to the idea that Catholics are more apt to verbally…

Who Killed Captain Alex?

This movie is more than a labor of love. It's a work of genius. Who Killed Captain Alex has more heart, devotion to the craft, and fun than anything Hollywood has produced in years.

Together or Separately

Together or Separately

The legacy media propaganda machine is currently mobilizing for a two minutes hate against Dr. Jordan Peterson. Apparently the good doctor went on the Beeb to point out some basic facts about economics and human psychology that your average high school student used to take for granted. The journo they…

Reader Praise for The Ophian Rising

Reader Praise for The Ophian Rising

Reader Sebastien LaQroix reviews my new book The Ophian Rising and stands it up against the dreary, nihilistic, and often downright sadistic offerings from the Big Five New York publishers.
