About The Final Cut in Movies

I’m the Flick Chick, M. B. Weston, author of The Elysian Chronicles, and I’m huge fan of fantasy and science fiction. I wrote my 11th grade term paper on JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, arguing that fantasy was a perfectly legitimate form of literature. Since then, I’ve been a literary and cinematic rebel. Give me Star Wars over War and Peace, The Wrath of Khan over The Grapes of Wrath, and The Hobbit over The English Patient. Give me action. Give me spaceships and aliens. Give me make-believe. This I say to Hollywood elitists: Forget your preaching, and give me entertainment. Here at The Final Cut, that’s what we’re about.

Each week's new Final Cut show debuts on Saturday and airs throughout the week from 2:00 to 3:00am & pm over the internet on Ad Astra Radio, which can be reached at www.adastraradio.com by clicking the "Listen Live." Podcasts of each show are also available at M. B. Weston's Podcasts site and on iTunes.
