Welcome to Fandom Variables! :) I am your host, Todd, and this inaugural episode was recorded on December 31, my birthday, on a whim & without even having a name decided during recording (I had one in mind; more on that below). And, maintaining my superpower of procrastination, I'm still not publishing it until six days later.

I'm a geek & really like talking about TV shows & movies in the sci-fi, fantasy, and superhero genres. I'm already one-fourth of The Discerning Geeks Portal podcast (check that out) and one-half of the upcoming Discerning *Lurkers* Portal: A Babylon 5 Podcast (be on the lookout). But, here, at least for now, I'm all three-thirds of a one-person show. My other two podcasts will always be my higher priorities, but this podcast will be for those things that slip between the cracks -- things that maybe only I want to talk about or can talk about in the moment.

In this episode, I took a look back at TV & movies from 2021, including...

- WandaVision

- Lost In Space

- Falcon and the Winter Soldier

- Loki

- Hawkeye

- The Might Ducks: Game Changers

- For All Mankind

- Superman & Lois

- Legends of Tomorrow

- The Blacklist

- 4400

- Marvel's What If?...

- Wheel of Time

- Invincible

- Foundation

- Mythic Quest

- Dickinson

- The Flash

- Batwoman

- Stargirl

- Book of Boba Fett

- Leverage: Redemption

- The Witcher

- Masters of the Universe: Revelation

- Looking forward to The Orville season 3 and a possible Babylon 5 reboot in 2022

- Spider-Man: No Way Home

- Eternals

- Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

- No Time To Die

- Ghostbusters: Afterlife

- Black Widow

- Zack Synder's Justice League

- Godzilla vs. Kong

- Matrix Resurrections

Yep. All that...one episode.

If you'd like to contact me, the podcast e-mail is FandomVariables@gmail.com. I might have a Facebook and/or Twitter account eventually.

Obviously, I thought of a name after recording. Actually, it's a name I've been "sitting on" for over 1.5 years. It was one of a myriad of un-used suggestions for the name of the podcast I do with my friends. I hesitated to use it because, since then, another podcast I listen to also has the word fandom in it. But, I couldn't think of a name I liked better (Fandom Variables is a play on words for Random Variables). So, I'm explaining here, to ensure that I'm not half-copycatting.
