The halflings are triumphant (praise them)!!! The Dark Lord has fallen!!!! But the book ISN'T over???? SBG continues the quest of RETURN OF THE KING, talking about lights in windows and trying to figure out what Middle-Earth praise music might sound like: rangedtouch.com/2026/07/31/t...
SHELVED BY GENRE continues RETURN OF THE KING in the latest episode, discussing portentous dreams, the apparent fall of evil, and the deleterious effects of media distortion throughout histories real and imagined: rangedtouch.com/2026/07/17/t...
JKT Bonus Episode!!! WOW! With 2025's THE RUNNING MAN, Edgar Wright will make you believe that Glen Powell can run. And, well, what do with think about that? You'll have to listen to find out (and learn our thoughts on Gen X's corpo-captured Nerd Whisperers): www.patreon.com/rangedtouch/...
Return to Castle Rock (again) as JUST KING THINGS works through a brief, thematically thin, but nonetheless interesting novella co-authored with Richard Chizmar, giving us a chance to talk genre, fanfic, brand name cash-ins, and good cartoons written by Joe Lansdale: rangedtouch.com/2026/07/13/g...
SHELVED BY GENRE covers the 2002 film THE TWO TOWERS in this month's bonus episode, pondering a rich legacy of memes, the Raimi legacy, the cracks starting to show in the Jacksonian adaptational method, and of course, the magic of elf cinema www.patreon.com/rangedtouch/...

GAME STUDIES STUDY BUDDIES takes a strange detour through academic history, methodological fights in early modern literary criticism, and ponders what play is conceptually good for anyway with Anna K. Nardo's THE LUDIC SELF IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLISH LITERATURE: rangedtouch.com/2026/06/30/9...
SHELVED BY GENRE lingers in the darkness at the end of THE TWO TOWERS, facing desolation, monsters, the specters of England's national mythologies, and the disastrous consequences of telling one guy he has to read all the poetry: rangedtouch.com/2026/06/19/t...
After years of yearning for it, the latest SHELVED BY GENRE Bonus Episode has finally gotten around to watching the central text of millennial genre cinema, THE MATRIX. You remember when people believed in people believing in things? www.patreon.com/rangedtouch/...
