  How do you take an 800-page book and make it into a 2-hour movie? It’s not an easy trick to pull off (two out of four attempts have failed). In this week’s show, we listen to a few clips from the upcoming Order of the Phoenix movie and discuss the main themes of the book, and how they are addressed in the film. Plus, we announce the

  One of the cardinal rules of any story, be it in movie or book form, is that once you introduce time travel, all bets are off. Once you start to “bend-a time and space,” you can do pretty much anything. Of course, if you do it right, this makes for a great story. But beware the paradoxes of time travel, such as the predestination

  Jim Delany of the Big Ten, normally referred to around here as “dikfase” (SEC grad, sorry,can’t spell but that won’t surprise you, right Jim?) has numerous irons in the fire at the moment. And now, my stunning version of “Hustlin’” by Rick Ross. First he’s busy ramming the Big Ten Network (The

  Sorry to all of you who have been eagerly anticipating some new posts from me these past few weeks. The past two weeks have been very busy with celebrating senior week, walking at graduation, saying goodbye to friends and attending the most kick-ass graduation party (think My Super Sweet 16 but for a graduation party). However, I am now back

  This past week was a very exciting week for Cubs fans everywhere. Like I mentioned in my previous post, the Cubs seem to be hitting their stride right now and I don't think the Brewers can keep this up all year.

  This week was another exciting week for fantasy players across MLB. The Cubs also showed some signs that they are indeed capable of winning and might just have a shot to put together a good streak and get back in the NL Central Division hunt. But before we get into the fantasy players of the week, let me extend my sympathies to the Cardinals'

  I caught the 1925 silent The Phantom of the Opera at Birmingham's Symphony Hall the other night, accompanied by organist Nigel Ogden. Despite being nearly the only person there ineligible for the over-60 discount, it was a thrilling night and, to be honest, I wish I had been the only one there under 60. During a few scenes, intended to frighten
