People often complain that movies are telling "dumber" stories in general as time goes on, but is that true? One possible explanation for this viewpoint may be that movies are just focusing more on "fun" stories than "smart" stories. In other words, they're focusing more on "genre fiction" than "literary fiction." Let's talk a little about why.

In the spirit of St. Patrick's day, we talk a little about our favorite creatures from Celtic folklore. There are so many though--we couldn't possibly fit them all into this video. So every day for the rest of the month we'll be sharing one creature or legend of Celtic origin on our websites. Visit our Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr for more!

Game of Thrones (moreso the book series it's based on: "A Song of Ice and Fire") has a setting the scope of which we rarely see in fiction, and not just in terms of size. The sheer number of different and unique elements within the setting is absolutely staggering. It's incredible that any author could create a single, cohesive narrative arc that uses so much material.
And yet, somehow, that's exactly what George R.R. Martin did.
In this video, we try boil this incredible world down into three major components: Geography, Culture, and History.

Industry can be a dangerous thing. A lot of people drown beneath the tide of progress, without ever knowing what's happening to them.
Sorry for the lack of visuals. We've been struggling to keep up with everything lately, so for the foreseeable future, we'll only be able to do a single animated background image for our stories. When we can get another artist on-board, we'll definitely spice these up again!

Video games are still a fairly young medium. Understandbly, people are still trying to figure out how best to use it as a platform for telling stories. So far, most games just sort of stick to the traditional cinematic approach.
But Dark Souls does something different. Something new and interesting. Something that has the potential to change storytelling across all mediums.

The USA is pretty unique in its youth. It lacks the deep mythological background many other countries have developed, but that doesn't mean the early Americans didn't tell stories. In fact, their fiction is some of the most self-aware we've ever seen.
So let's talk about the "mythology" of America and what it means to the country today.

After spending a video getting all technical and literary about how Pokemon is a transmedia story, we thought we ought to spend another video showing *how*.
So buckle up. This is an odd one.

After almost a decade without a new Harry Potter film, Rowling's graced us with a fantastic entry into an all-new series set in the same world: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
The film shines a light on something unique about Rowling's other work: the rather singular use of allegory.
