Larry Brody: Live! From Paradise! #91 “Family Man”

THE USUAL NOTE FROM LB: From the summer of 2002 to  the spring of 2010, Gwen the Beautiful and I were the proud and often exhausted owners of a beautiful Ozarks property we called Cloud Creek Ranch.

It’s Jesus Chris Superstar’s turn. read article

Steven Moffat is the Best Children’s Writer We Know

Not to be outdone by RTD, the Moff gives us a deluxe version of a scene intended for way back in the Doctor Who episode “The Eleventh Hour.” This one will make you cry.
