Yes, this episode has an Armitage monologue, but there are still only 2 ½ minutes of him in #7... well, other than some claws and snarling in the background of one other scene. Thinking back, I'd be surprised if we had even 15 minutes total of Armitage scenes in the whole seven episodes to date. … Continue reading Wolverine #7: “Twilight” Alum Caught up in Richard’s Monologue

Wolverine #6: “Armitage is… a voice box with legs!”
It's been an exhausting week, but I wanted to post some thoughts about episode 6 of Wolverine: The Long Night before I listen to the next one on Monday. On The Marvel After Show, Ato Essandoh (Agent Marshall) describes "Armitage [as] just like one big vocal resonator... All he is is like a voice box … Continue reading Wolverine #6: “Armitage is… a voice box with legs!”
Tragedy and Solidarity
Just over a week ago, a Junior-A hockey team in Saskatchewan was travelling by bus to a playoff game. They didn't make it. Their bus collided with a double-trailer semi-truck, leaving 16 people dead and 13 injured, some very seriously. The semi driver was unhurt and the cause of the crash is still being investigated. … Continue reading Tragedy and Solidarity
Wolverine #5: Richard Armitage Speaks and Rolls on the Floor
**Minor Spoilers** So, finally, we are treated to some more substantial dialogue for Richard Armitage in Wolverine: The Long Night. His parts of the episode are really good. He is definitely a master of vocal disguise -- I believe that I would not have recognized this gruff-voiced, snarly North American guy, if I didn't already know who … Continue reading Wolverine #5: Richard Armitage Speaks and Rolls on the Floor

This… I Did Not Like
**SPOILERS** Fourth episode of Wolverine: The Long Night and very little of the title character. Plus, some really disturbing scenes. To me, this is an episode that can be skipped without missing much. About one minute in, a hunter describes seeing, "...a man, naked, without a stitch on him, not even boots..." and we hear a … Continue reading This… I Did Not Like
I Went to the Junos!
In a moment of spontaneity, on Saturday night I bought a ticket to the Juno Awards show, the annual celebration of Canadian music. It's not quite my bucket-list event... that would be The Oscars, but that is unfortunately a members-only event. The only way I could go is if a certain actor were invited to … Continue reading I Went to the Junos!
Surprising Songs Sung: Sam Smith / How Will I Know
I was in the coffee shop the other day when this plaintively sad song sung with a haunting falsetto came on. "Sounds so familiar," I thought. Much to my surprise, I realized that it was one of my favourite songs from the '80's, but done in a completely different way. Whitney Houston came from a … Continue reading Surprising Songs Sung: Sam Smith / How Will I Know
A MARVELous Start to the Week
It was a pretty good day for a Monday. I started the day in the car listening to the third episode of Marvel's Wolverine: The Long Night. I'm continuing to enjoy it, as they weave in more characters, more details, and more pieces of the puzzle. Once again, there is only a snippet of Richard … Continue reading A MARVELous Start to the Week
Wolverine: The Long Night
I took the plunge and signed up for Stitcher Premium, so that I could listen to Marvel's new scripted podcast, Wolverine: The Long Night, starring Richard Armitage as Wolverine (a.k.a Logan). The first two episodes dropped on Monday, and they are really well done. This is essentially a police crime drama, swirling around encounters with Logan, a man … Continue reading Wolverine: The Long Night
