For the Love of Fiction

A much less positive and more critical episode this week as Gav and Marc recap seasons 2-4 of Stranger Things before taking a look at season 5.Quite a bit of Max-hate so be prepared.

For their third annual Holiday special, Marc and Gav discusswhat actually is a Christmas movie (and is it Die Hard?) before counting down their top five Christmas movies.

Rather fittingly, GW interferes with the sound in this episode, and Marc and Gav, your AI overlord hosts, start to go a bit wonky.They even promise to NOT get political or social when discussing Metal Gear Solid 2, but then, how can you not? It’s one of the maddest, most prophetic games ever made. And guess what, just like how the game is full of chatter, this ep is a big one!Check out my socials and website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://decapvada.wixsite.com/gmgroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/writergmgroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/WriterGMGroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.phpid=61551776307375Chapters – 00:00 – Intro45:26 – Metal Gear Solid I01:04:46 – Metal Gear Solid II01:56:29 – Allegory, political and social references, andconclusionMusic:ReMix: Super Metroid ‘Brinstar Bondai Garden’ by Red TailedFox – ocremix.orgMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/hartzmann/gridLicense code: YT8OZXJPSTGTN8W0https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/coming-after-youLicense code: EBPZUTIBXISC5ZGWhttps://uppbeat.io/t/doug-organ/surf-turfLicense code: P2ZRFUUGAT83NYDWhttps://uppbeat.io/t/roger-gabalda/machinationsLicense code: VKJXGQSCEDIOBLWFThanks for listening!

Marc and Gav review Stranger Things Season 1, the best season as far as they are concerned.Also, the revelation that the Byers family are all serial killers and Will grows up to become Anton Sugar from No Country for Old Men.

Trigger Warning – Since we’re talking about The Exorcist, expect descriptions of scenes of gore, religious and sexual imagery, and harm to a minor.With that being said, we are back!

Welcome to For The Love Of Fiction!Childhood trauma, nearly falling out over the greatest British comedies of all time, and awkwardly dancing around politically correct topics, parenting versus literature, complete disrespect toward classic Britishliterature, imagery vs expositional dialogue in modern film, all in a days work for Marc and Gav in their latest Best of Year Top ten, this time, 1983!Check out my socials and website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://decapvada.wixsite.com/gmgroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/writergmgroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/WriterGMGroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.phpid=61551776307375Thanks for listening!Chapters - 00:00 -Intro and 1983 News/Culture31:49 - Top Ten Part 101:02:12 - Top Ten Part 201:38:02 - Top Ten Part 302:13:28 - Top Ten Part 4Music - ReMix: Super Metroid ‘Brinstar Bondai Garden’ by Red TailedFox – ocremix.orgMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/chasing-sunLicense code: VLPOCDUYWQFMIG3Jhttps://uppbeat.io/t/tatami/lost-dreamLicense code: HXCTHTNQOVIB2OLWhttps://uppbeat.io/t/hey-pluto/miami-1987License code: PM046H0DDUPCOGYGhttps://uppbeat.io/t/braden-deal/night-owlsLicense code: XOB1RWDKCR5G2LQPhttps://uppbeat.io/t/aavirall/above-the-starsLicense code: H4RCTU8V1TBNGTHM

Maybe its an apology for the audio of the last episode, but what I can safely say is that covering the Man of Steel in just one episode does not do him justice (pun intended) so to further pick co-host Marc's comic book-brain, here are ten of his personal favourite Superman comic book storiesCheck out my socials and website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://decapvada.wixsite.com/gmgroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/writergmgroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/WriterGMGroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.phpid=61551776307375Chapters - 00:00 - Introduction05:11 - List start26:26 - List Part 201:06:38 - List Part 301:28:08 - List Part 4Music - ReMix: Super Metroid ‘Brinstar Bondai Garden’ by Red Tailed Fox – ocremix.orgMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/iros-young/a-man-of-his-wordLicense code: EH0NTCS59FGDJNMR

In the first of our ongoing series covering our favourite film composers, myself and Marc look into the life and work of one of the most prolific composers of the 20th century and likely the creator of a multitude of scores that you already know, not knowing they were created by him.And Star Trek of course!

Welcome to For the Love of Fiction!This week Marc and Gav chat and celebrate the films and life of David Lynch. Until this episode, Marc had only seen Dune so for the good of the podcast he watched a whole bunch of his films to give some fresh takes. Then Gav ranks Lynch's 10 feature films.Spoilers are everywhere and generally warned.Check out my socials and website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://decapvada.wixsite.com/gmgroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/writergmgroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/WriterGMGroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.phpid=6155177630737500:00 - Intro and general David Lynch Discussion34:45 - Film ranking 10 -501:22:01 - Film ranking 4-202:02:14 - Number 1 film and outroMusic:ReMix: Super Metroid ‘Brinstar Bondai Garden’ by Red Tailed Fox – ocremix.org'Twin Peaks Theme' (Instrumental) By Angelo Badalamenti'Jitterbug' By Angelo Badalamenti'Alvin's Theme' By Angelo Badalamenti'In Heaven (Lady in the Radiator Song)' by Peter Ivers and David Lynch

Welcome to For the Love of Star Wars, the first of our ongoing series discussing the titular franchise. For such a special occasion, we decided to enlist our first ever special guest, Allen from CriticAL Reviews. Even more momentous is the length of this episode! It's a record breaker at 4 hours so please use the chapters when you need to. I almost feel bad. Actually, no I don't.As this was the first time we had a guest, it was also the first time I had to manage and edit three voices, three passionate voices too. Please excuse any talking over each other that got through the edit. I listened to this thing for EIGHT hours. That's enough for me!Anyway some wild takes in this one. The Black Knight from Monty Python, Disney Princesses, and tribalism, its all very fast and intense. Lots of chat about Joseph Campbell's Hero of a Thousand Faces too.Thanks for listening!You can find CriticAL Reviews at:https://www.youtube.com/@CriticALReviews595Check out my socials and website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://decapvada.wixsite.com/gmgroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/writergmgroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/WriterGMGroves⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.phpid=61551776307375Chapters - 00:00 – Introduction and general Star Wars Discussion29:19 – Star Wars Episode IV – A New Hope01:42:12 – Star Wars Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back02:42:36 – Star Wars Episode VI – Return of the JediMusic - ReMix: Super Metroid ‘Brinstar Bondai Garden’ by Red Tailed Fox – ocremix.org'Star Wars Main Theme' – Super Star Wars by Paul Webb 1992'Imperial March' – Super Empire Strikes Back by Paul Webb 1993'Urgent News' – Super Star Wars By Paul Webb 1992 'Victory Celebration' – Super Return of the Jedi By Paul Web 1994
