0:00.0	Hey, everybody, this is Paul. And this is what I have planned for 2026. But first, at the end of
0:06.7	November, you're going to get Disney's Something Wicked This Way Comes Part 1. Now, people on Patreon
0:14.3	have already gotten Something Wicked This Way comes Part 1. And in early November, they're going to be
0:19.7	getting Something Wicked This Way comes Part 2. After that, the show is... part one, and in early November, they're going to be getting something wicked this way comes
0:21.3	part two. After that, the show is going on a hiatus, cinema story origins, that is. There's another
0:29.4	podcast I do on Patreon and Locals for my supporters, and that's called The Story of Cinema. I'm going to
0:35.7	keep doing that one, but for the month of November, there's this thing called National November Writing Month, or Nanorimo, as writers know it as.
0:47.2	It's a challenge for writers to write a 50,000-word novel between November 1st and November 30th.
0:53.0	I really want to participate this year.
0:55.6	So I'm taking November to do that. There's also some upheaval about the show right now,
1:01.6	and I think I should step back. And look, this show, well, let's talk. After November and into
1:09.7	2026, I have plans to do Disney's Hercules, Disney's the
1:14.2	hunchback of Notre Dame, Disney's the rescuers, and that's on the Disney side. Then I also have
1:19.9	Blade Runner, which I'm dying to do. I love cyberpunk. Used to be called Dark Future, but the
1:26.1	genre's cyberpunk now. I played the tabletop RPG back in the
1:29.9	late 80s, 90s. I've read the books, stuff like Neuromancer, William Gibson, Philip K. Dick,
1:36.6	Shadow Run, the new stuff, the Net Runner stuff, cyberpunk 2077. I love it all. But I want to do some
1:43.7	history stuff, maybe Braveheart. I want to do interview with
1:47.0	the vampire in lieu of twilight, right? I want to make YouTube videos. I want to do live streams with
1:53.3	other like-minded podcasters who want to talk about the movies and the book adaptations and pop
1:58.7	culture stuff, whatever, you know, skywalking through Neverland, distance nerding, fandom nexus, want to do a live
2:06.7	stream with me?
