The Mainstream (blog)
Hey all,
Sorry for the lack of bloggage this summer— and the start of the semester—, we had some internal stuff to work out. But, now that that is all sorted out, expect for all your greater VCU area arts news to be featured here, on the Mainstream (blog).
If you were wondering what Cory was talking about in the last episode of (digressions), this is an article that better articulates why he thinks Superhero movies exist on a lower plain of film through the Dark Knight trilogy.
The hot, hot heat of Richmond and the release of the final installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy has prompted the boys to do a summer edition of (digressions)— featuring the always knowledgeable Nelson Johnson of Gust Controller. Grab a buddy and enjoy this quasi-criticism of “The Dark Knight Rises”.

In addition to Nerdicus Maximus on WVCW and All Your New Are Belong To Us on the Potboiler Podcasting Network, RVA has a new nerd-culture podcast, Life, Leave Me Alone. Who will rule in the RVA clash of the nerd podcasts ? Honestly you should listen to them all; they all have different styles.
