| Bionicast |
Bionicast is back with a new power source and upgrades. The show, hosted by Marc and Aaron, was originally stupidly dedicated to the failed 2007 NBC resurrection of the Six-Million Dollar Man spinoff The Bionic Woman, but renamed to simply Bionic Woman. Or maybe that’s backwards; it really doesn’t matter.… |

| Magic, 1400s-1950s |
When I first saw Magic, I was excited to get my hands on a copy. When it arrived in I was impressed and in awe of its girth. This is one huge book. Considering it covers the history of magic from 1400-1950, 500 years of illustrations, photos, handbills and engravings… |

| Henri Matisse, Cut-outs. Drawing with Scissors, 2 Vol. |
It’s not often I’m speechless over a book. Taschen’s Henri Matisse, Cut-outs. Drawing with Scissors, 2 Vol. is an amazing collection of Matisse’s work in the later years of his life. Tracing his roots from his time in Tahiti in the 1930’s through his final years in the 1950’s, Drawing… |

| The Middleman |
Every once in a while a television executive loses his sense and greenlights a series that works outside the standard police drama, teen angst, murder mystery based shows. The Middleman is one of those shows. Destined to be cancelled from the first episode, The Middleman was a perfect pop culture… |
